“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!“

“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.“

“This restaurant rivals any of the great steakhouses in the country! Quality, fresh cuts of meat producing fantastic steak flavor cooked by true technicians. Competent, friendly staff and quite clean for a large place. I often have the N.Y. Strip which is excellent. The best I’ve ever had in my life. I have tried their signature steak which is a leaner cut but also very delicious. I like that the quality and great flavor of their meats shine through unlike other steak houses that mask frozen, poor quality meat with over seasoning. If you like steak don’t miss this family friendly place.“

“Yesterday we stopped by my favorite IHOP location for dinner only to find out that the only person working was the manager. She was the waitress as well as the cook and she was nothing short of a hard working person because there’s no longer enough traffic to keep employees. This really bums me out because ihop is one of my favorite places to eat but this location specifically holds some very important memories for me dating all the way back to the early 2000’s. Our food was amazing along with our service! The people leaving awful reviews need to put themselves in other peoples shoes instead of being nasty. If I lived in Bristol I’d work here just to help out.“

“APPLAUDING 👏🏼 the General Manager Scott, Cate and the crew for their service during our visit on Monday evening 9/7/26. The systems and power went down. They accommodated us very well considering the unexpected circumstances that happened. We received our food as soon as it was possible. I humbly apologize for my recent review. Our party was under a time crunch and I shouldn’t have left a negative review. The food I personally have had there has been very good. 🍗.
Go get’cha some wings and things 😋 We will be back 👍🏽“
