Some of the places we enjoy in Johnson City
Great barbecue and the best baked beans anywhere. The french fries are fresh cut and the blue cheese dip is too die for. Heading to Ireland to visit a friend and his one request was to bring him some blue cheese dip. Hand graded from a block of blue cheese.
Warning: the place is in the middle of nowhere! Voted the best barbarque in the State of Tennessee.
