“We stop here for a lunch break when riding motorcycles across hi knob or another local ride. I usually have hamburger and fries. Always good and always right off the. Grill hot. Taking my wife there today Got a friend that tried the chicken livers and said they were the best.“

“The food and staff are both awesome!“

“We picked this hotel because of its proximity to the Metro. Honestly you don't even need to go outside (except under an overhang) to catch the train. We were recognized at the front desk as diamond members, and given a room on an Executive Floor. Wonderful larger than usual room. One limitation was that we hoped to ask our housekeeper for extra decaf coffee in the room, but she did not speak English. She gave us herbal teas instead. We didn't feel strongly enough to pursue it. However, her housekeeping in our room was impeckable. Fresh towels every day! The executive lounge was a welcome respit as usual. I've seen reviews that state that the food was a bit repetitious and boring and sometimes lukewarm. That was true. Yet it was always substantial and we were so thankful for it. It took me a couple days to figure out the expresso machine, but that too we did not ask about. Evening hors d'ouvres were nice to have. We parked on the property and there were no issues. We felt welcome and that they were there to serve us everywhere we went in the hotel. Thank you.“

“Excellent“

“The nicest staff, delicious food, nice variety of foods. Best meatloaf and sweet potato fries in the area!“

“Sara, the bartender, was exceptional. The food very good. Great atmosphere.“

“I come here every so many months. Food is always good, comes out fast. The service isn't bad, but the servers all seem like they're ready to go home lol as if they loath being there. Which is valid but it would be nice to fake a little enthusiasm.“

“I've ate burgers in different chains all across America and in other countries as well. No one comes close to the Big Pal. It always has been and always will be the best burger you can eat. The only caveat is, make sure you order it with pickles (once you try it, you can never get it without them).“

“Spencer was our server, and was efficient and super sweet. Ordered the flos filet med rare and it was seared to perfection. The broccoli was soft and seasoned just right!!! It’s not a regular place for us in Kingsport, but it might be now!!“

“We had lunch today and everyone was friendly and kind to us! We had the Cuban and The Piggy and both were very delicious, the server and cook were both a delight! We will definitely be coming back!“

“I can't find a single thing to fault them on. They were quick with the service. The waiters and waitresses were kind. The food came out in a timely manner. The portions were exactly as advertised and they were VERY generous with their portions. The appetizer alone that we tried could easily be a proper meal in terms of how big it was and that's the appetizer itself. I also tried their Spasanga and it was to die for. My mother tried their fish and shrimp platter and she absolutely loved it as well. Their tea is also beyond incredible and the different flavors are great. I honestly just can't find a single thing to fault them on and the atmosphere and interior design is also phenomenal. If I could give a higher rating than five stars I happily would because I just tried them for the first time today. They have definitely earned themselves a regular.“

“Outstanding food, atmosphere and service. The owner and management are top notch. The food has always been good but has moved up to the next level over the last 2 years. Make sure you try the changing weekly special menu, created by the seasoned GM who is also a chef, all made from scratch. Outstanding! Best location in TN.“

“Couldn't sleep so my wife and I went to Waffle House for breakfast. Food was good, price was good and service was even better!“

“Awesomeness an clean place“

“We ate here on May 18th we took our son here to celebrate him graduating . We had to wait for about 30 mins but we knew that and understood. Our silverware was a little dirty, the food was delicious however when our food was brought out to our table my steak medallions wasn't ready I was told they ran out and had to cut more and it would be a few more minutes. I just got a to go box for mine. So overall the only complaint I would have would be the silverware and having to wait a little longer on my food was all. The food was amazing and our waitress was very nice. This was our sons first time eating here and he's already talking about eating there again.“

“I ordered here for the 1st time. Drive Thru experience was good and fast. Food wise fries were the steal of the show, amazing crunch, and seasoning. I give them a 9.2
Chicken was crispy and flavorful. Only gripe, they were kind of small to my liking. But I give them an 8.6
Bread was nice and toasty a solid 8.4
Sauces I got their signature spicy. Solid 8.8
Also got there sweet heat that sauce was amazing. I give it a 9.4
Overall experience was a solid 8.9. I will definitely come back and try other menu items. I definitely recommend this place. The only other fast food chicken joint this good is Chic Fil A.“

“the food was great. the service was top notch and the music was Country and loud. we had a blast“

“Date with the wife. Watched the rest of the Tennessee ballgame.“

“Food was cold. Chicken was dry and the breading was hard. Slaw tasted like it was just cabbage and mayo. Of course we were there close to closing time so maybe that was why. Normally the chicken is awesome. The tea was really good as always.“

“They catered my daughter’s wedding and did a phenomenal job. The service was great. The food was great. I highly recommend them! So easy to work with.“

“Came 45 minutes prior to close (our family had late plans- was starving) staff was exceptional despite being in the end phase of business. Everyone was kind, and the food was fresh and delicious! We left a few minutes early out of respect- but didn’t feel rushed to run out despite the late hour. Our family was very thankful for such a welcome experience and for delicious fresh buffet food!“

“Recently experienced delicious food served unbelievably fast at The Purple Cow. Their burgers have old fashion taste.“
