    First time here. Great food and excellent service. Nice to have a reservation vs the long waits before seeing the Johnson City lights!

    Food was good. I loved the live music but it made having a conversation impossible.

    Good menu that offers a solid variety for most tastes. Nice friendly ambiance for groups, families or a date night. Outdoor grounds/seating are perfect for kids to safely run around. We’ve been twice now and both times there was live music indoors that was easy to enjoy but you didn’t feel awkward having a table conversation either. Friendly waitstaff. My only suggestion is to light the highway entrance more clearly, if you are coming from Johnson City, it’s easy to miss without the gps.
