“My mom and I went to Council Oak for dinner while staying at the Hard Rock. This was the best dining experience we have had in a long time! The food was amazing and staff were exceptional! Our server, Jesse, was such a light and made us laugh throughout our whole meal! The entire staff is not only kind but extremely knowledgeable about the menu. We could not be more appreciative for such a lovely experience! Thank you for a great time and delicious food!”

The hotel is so beautiful and we have never seen such friendly and helpful staff in all our travels! Rooms were gorgeous and so comfy! Will definitely be back!”

“My wife and I visited YouYu for the first time for a meal on our first anniversary and everything was exceptional. Our server Carson and the manager that visited our table Eric were both incredibly polite and friendly and made sure we never wanted for anything.
Our appetizers the crispy shrimp spring rolls were delicious and every bite was packed full of shrimp. The Mongolian beef was tender, sauced well and full of flavor. The Hong Kong style Won Ton soup was savory and complimented the other entree quite well. Carson also recommended the strawberry Yuzu dessert and my wife as an avid strawberry fan absolutely loved it. Thanks for the amazing service and delicious meal, we'll definitely be visiting again.”

“I dont live in area but was delivering a piece of furniture id sold in town. I had not eaten all day and it was around 9:30 pm. We were seated at the bar area. And waited on by the bartender. He was amazing. We ordered a ton of food. And i asked for a fruity cocktail of his choice and was handed ,hands down , the best Bahama Mamma ive ever had. And his attitude and personality was spot on 100 percent . He didnt one time rush us, and was super attentive. I bartended for 14 years , theres a certain breed of person for that position...he is top notch!! Hang on to this guy is my advise to Logans. ❤️❤️Im sorry i couldnt remember his name...Im horrible at names. Its embarrassing .”

“The staff was so friendly and the food was amazing!”

“❤️The food was amazing!”

“One of the best burgers that I’ve ever eaten. Great fries too!”

“So good and super sweet staff!”

“My husband, an avid fan of our local IHOP, didn't understand why I was insisting to locate & try Perkins on our road trip. We landed in our seats at 2:30, it took us at least 5 minutes to decide what we wanted to order, my husband craving a smoke asked if he would have time to smoke. Our fantastic hostess assured him he would have time, note we were seated as close as possible to the door. He walked out the door & I glanced at the dessert menu then in a blink, our hot food was on the table before my husband could return! It was 2:40! He was so delighted with how delicious his meal was that I got to say "I TOLD YOU IT WOULD BE WORTH IT" & he definitely agreed. I couldn't believe that I could actually order my BLT on SOURDOUGH bread! The Tomato Basil soup was the best that I've ever tasted! I can't remember the name but I searched out the lowest cal dessert, strawberry cream cheese something & it was mouthwatering. He had the Chicken Fried Steak & said it was the most tender he has ever had & he has ordered it from multiple eateries. Served exactly as he had asked. he had ordered a side of gravy because never before had he gotten enough gravy served on his plate. We had to take the side to go because his plate was perfect! We were both so full that we had to take dessert to go. I can't believe MY HUSBAND actually finished his entire banana nut muffin! Sweets are not his thing so I was expecting at least a bite offered to me. I took a 1/2 dozen pumpkin Muffins to family that had kept out dog & they reported them to also be fantastic. My only complaint was that they are so far from my home! I will be searching for an excuse to get back there a soon as possible!”

“The food and service here are absolutely top notch 👌 And the beer selection? Hands down the best in Bristol! 🍻🔥 Highly recommend checking this place out—you won’t be disappointed!”

“We love southern churn, they have the best ice-cream & candy. The staff makes you feel like you are family. My grandson Noah looks forward when we are in Bristol that we go to Southern Churn for a banana split, his favorite. Make sure you visit them when your are in Bristol!!!”

“Great food, service, and coffee. We really enjoyed our brunch there. We will be back.”

“My husband purchase a strawberry cake for my birthday. It was the most delicious cake I have ever eaten! Absolutely wonderful!”

“This place is delicious! By far the best food we have had in a while! Best BBQ, I think we have ever had! Brunswick Stew was 10/10 smoked Mac and cheese 10/10 pickles 10/10 BBQ 1000/10 highly recommend if you haven't been. give this place a try! I'm so glad we did, and we will definitely be back!”

“Hands-down, the best authentic Mexican food in the Bristol area.”

“we just recently moved to the area and went to Alfredo's a few months ago for the first time. this food is amazing. I can tell you right now I am really fussy when it comes to calzones, and their spinach mushroom calzone was the best around. their salads are beautifully fresh and tasty and so big! and I can't even describe the Egyptian bread because I could eat it everyday until I die. LOL. the owner is super nice the atmosphere is clean and there's a huge menu selection. definitely check it out you won't be disappointed”

“The taco bar was great. The price was very affordable The server and the workers were friendly and very appreciative of our business. It is 5 star and then some.. I would recommend to anyone and I will return soon Just awesome”

“It is the best”

“Really cool place with quality food. They have the salsa bar for everything you like. Outdoor seating with live music. We went for dinner and I got the carna asada. Good meat, but not the best around by far. All ingredients were fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to try another menu item.”

“My kiddo and I love this place. We finally got to go this week after hearing from several people that they loved it. We have been twice this week and have enjoyed what we got both times! We will be going at least once a week for sure. :)”

“I think I found a go-to for spaghetti and lasagna in Bristol. Italiano Cafe I wanted to try a few different things so I ordered spaghetti and meatballs, baked spaghetti and lasagna. I thought the portions would be as small as Olive Garden or Mama Mia's in Abingdon. I was wrong. Not only does this taste better than those 2, these portions are HUGE. It's a 12 inch pie pan full+. For $12-13. 🤓”

“UPDATE: The restaurant reached out the next day to address my experience. The manager apologized, explained they had an unusually busy night, and offered a credit toward a future visit. That’s good customer service, and I appreciate them taking the time to make it right.

Long-time customer, great food — but tonight was frustrating.
Happy Star has been a favorite of mine for years, and the food is genuinely delicious — no complaints there. But my experience tonight was a real disappointment and I felt like I needed to share it.
I called in a pickup order at 6:51 PM and was told it would be 15–20 minutes. I arrived shortly after that window, was told a few more minutes, and ended up waiting over 40 minutes total. During that time, I watched a steady stream of DoorDash drivers come in and pick up order after order. It was hard not to notice that third-party delivery orders seemed to be taking priority over customers who had called ahead and were standing right there waiting.
To make matters worse, a call was made to check on the order and we were told the food was already ready. When I went back in, I was told it would be a few more minutes — so there was clearly a communication breakdown somewhere.
The young man working the counter also seemed distracted and not fully engaged with the customers waiting.
Again, the food is wonderful — that part never changes. But if you’re prioritizing DoorDash volume over your walk-in and call-in customers, that’s something worth revisiting. As a loyal customer, it’s just not the experience I’ve come to expect from Happy Star.”

“today I strolled in around 330 and it was so sadly empty. while my first time was today, the chicken pita and Caesar side salad will have me coming back on the REGULAR! super great atmosphere in that place, some of the most friendly and inviting staff, I hope to start seeing more fellow Bristolians in that place; it's a GEM!!”

“Good omelet, grits and coffee. Excellent service!”

“Really delicious and flavorful Indian food that's clearly where the locals eat, just off I81. The perfect stop off a road trip. Fills you up with lots of warm spices and wonderful chai tea. We'll definitely be back.”

“It’s my favorite ❤️ 😍 I highly recommend it.”

“This place is the absolute best! They are so friendly and their food is amazing! You can’t go wrong here!”

“Our server was excellent as we were on a time crunch. She took great care of us. Not sure what her name was is the only thing or we would mention her in our review. We sat in the round booth around 1:15 Friday if that helps. Thank you for you warm and awesome service.”

“My family and I absolutely love to eat at Osaka, and have been going for 10+ years. Joe and Cindy, plus their staff, give excellent customer service and make you feel welcome each and every time. They helped make my Mom’s birthday celebration there so special this year. We don’t go anywhere else for hibachi, bento box, clear soup, and sushi. The sushi is especially high-quality, delicious, and looks like art on a plate when served. Last but not least, the restaurant is very clean and tidy.”

“Freaking love this place. The saucy burger was amazing and so was the service. Never had such kind hospitality at a fast food restaurant in my life. 10 stars if I could. Fantastic food as well!! Stop reading and start ordering!!! Trust me!”

“We were visiting from Knoxville, we rarely eat out as it’s overpriced for quality of food. Puerto Nuevo changed our minds. The atmosphere is welcoming, clean and the staff are dressed professionally with smiles and warmth. The salsa bar is a wonderful way to start with fresh, colorful and flavorful options. We ordered the corn ribs as that was new item we had never seen before. They were wonderful. We chose steak items and the ranchero sauce was delicious and homemade. Valerie was an amazing server and the manager gave us each a free dessert of tres leches that was wonderful way to end the meal. If we lived closer this would be our numero uno place to dine.”

“I come to this Starbucks often to study and truly love the atmosphere! They have an amazing manger, Debby, she is so cheerful and truly has an amazing team. All the staff is so kind and caring and you can tell they enjoy their jobs! I was studying today and she walked through the door and they were all excited to see her! This was their launch day for Christmas drinks and although it can be a stressful time, they were all so kind and patient!! Thank you guys for all the kindness and the great atmosphere to do school in!!”

“Super friendly and professional staff. Loving the 80's and 90's music selection. They have really good sweet tea and my all meat pizza was great. I asked for it well done and that girl made it crispy brown. ask for a marinara for the crust YUM ! wish they had more of a dessert choice I vote to change....a little expensive but everything is anymore): keep up the good work”

“Delicious food, amazing service, vibrant & colorful authentic atmosphere.
Every time I take my family to eat here, we're very happy with the food & the kind, attentive waiters and waitresses”

“I used to love Chi-fil-a but lately its lacking. I told them please make sure my fries are hot and fresh the guy scoffed and said they're always hot...surprisingly they weren't. Actually all the food was barely Luke warm.”

“This place is so wonderful! Friendly owners and wonderful service. This is not food you might have come to expect at your normal buffet style Chinese restaurant. It is outstanding, with extremely reasonable prices. I will be back!”

“Had a fantastic dinner with family to celebrate a special birthday. Everything was delicious! Greatly appreciate and Highly recommend!!! Thank you! Jamie and Shannon”

“Very good deli style food options. Salads were abundant with a plentiful combination of healthy ingredients and a flavorful dressing. Servers were friendly and efficient. I would dine there again.”

“Stopped at Bristol VA Cheddars after Barter play on our 44th anniversary. Jueni was our waiter and he was a pleasant blast of energy for us old folks. Food was good as usual but Jueni made our day! He took great care of us!”

“I love the ner jalapeno ranch club. I got confused with the app but the server was so sweet and helped me. The food came out quickly. Over all it was a great experience”

“Beautiful Vibe Grown Folks Style”

“I was on break with a lunch I brought from home and I forgot my spoon. popped in on the off chance I could get a spoon and the lady with the black and white hair went super out of her way to help me !
I've never eaten at Jersey mikes but now I think I have to.
Give spoon lady a raise, she rocks!
THANK YOU SPOON LADY”

“always fair priced and nice staff”

“We love eating here! Every menu item has been a delicious hit, from the hibachi to the sushi. Wonderful service and high quality food on every visit.”

“Just got our first order from here & If you’re not getting your Chinese food from here you’re missing out! Top tier food! They don’t skimp out on anything. The pork fried rice is 🤌”

“We went to the store at Exit 63 in Kingsport, near Tri-Cities Airport. We were seated right away, but waited 20 or so minutes with out any service. The tables beside us were quickly waited on. They didn't have many tables seated, so not very busy. We got up and left and drove to Exit 7. We were seated right away, the server (Anna) was there in just a couple of minutes to take our order. The kitchen was slow to get our food out for not being very busy. It was all good, hot and tasty. We typically wouldn't drive to Exit 7 but would return if we are in the area, but we are probably done with Exit 63 location.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“I know Hardee's in New Ulm MN has had some issues, but I went there today and was more than impressed! there were at least four people working there and they were so friendly and the food came really fast. it was fresh and hot and delicious! I can't wait to go there again, it looks like they have really pulled it together!”

“Khloie was incredibly sweet and welcoming! She knows the menu by heart and has such a kind, friendly personality. The food was absolutely a 10/10 🤩 — I highly recommend stopping by! And the staff is so funny.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“The staff is very friendly and food served fast. Our pizza was served hot and steamy. Although I would have liked a crispy crust the flavor was excellent. We had garlic fries and mozzarella sticks, both were shareable dishes. Although inside the HardRock Casino the atmosphere and energy was high. Excellent for a quick dinner.”

“Unique today. Cajun chicken biscuit was so dry it cracked when a piece broken off. Gravy from the biscuits and gravy was sawdust gravy. No sausage. Horrible meal today. Have had good experiences but this was a total disaster. To top it off would not give me my receipt so I could stub. That was odd. Think meal was eleven something. Will try again and hope this was just a bad day.”

“Before the pandemic my son Micah and me enjoyed many delicious meals and treats at this restaurant. Staff was great too! Hardees has legendary biscuits!”

“Friendly baristas who craft great drinks every time. Just very personable even when busy.”

“Arby's had great food and expensive options, but the company likes to hire the worse staff and not pay enough to keep the good employees so the general feel at Arby's is broken.”

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)”

“Was the 1st time eating here we are not from here but will definitely be coming back whenever we are over here again the food was really good and good portions the staff was nice, the whole restaurant was good and stocked and clean and the price is good for the portion of food you get and very good sweet tea keep up all the good and hard work”

“This sonic location confuses me. I always get a cherry limeade. This location always taste different from other sonic locations. This review is more of a fact finding mission. Are they using 7up here instead of sprite? Sonic reps...read this please, let me know. It's really disturbing me. Google states sonic uses sprite. This is not sprite.”

“We did an online order, it went smooth,no problems!”

“Quaint little place to grab a bite. Nothing fancy or special. Could update their stalls and or screens. Food is always good. Service sometimes a bit slow but to be expected on busy days”
