Ordered Lisa’s Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and baked macaroni and I have to say, hands down, the BEST meal I have ever had from a restaurant in Bristol! I recommend anyone looking to buy a AFFORDABLE, DELICIOUS meal 🥘 …
Stopped for lunch here while passing though. Best. Decision. Ever. I had the barbecue pork sandwich and it changed my life. The meat was so succulent and flavorful, while the sauce was nice and thick so it didn’t make the bun soggy. The coleslaw was light and tangy- a perfect side for the rich flavors in the sandwich. Highly recommend stopping here for some good, ol’ fashioned barbecue. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and made me feel at home.
Absolutely wonderful! I have always been a staunch pulled pork BBQ fan but their thin sliced pork with just right amount of sauce was awe inspiring. Thank you for a great meal! Everything was just right. Great family business, I highly recommend stopping in!!
Oh my! I had the catfish dinner. Yummo! Great, fast service, hot and homemade. Met the owner and asked if he air fried the fish; nope clean oil he said. I didn't intend to eat the whole thing, but yeah. I did.
Look at those thick-cut fresh fries! Baked Mac is best ive ever had. (Kinda sweet tasting...) Didnt know i loved collard greens (with hot sauce) til i tried them here with their cornbread.
Fantastic southern bbq homemade yumminess! Our favorites include the catfish, fried chicken, ribs, corn bread, baked beans and bbq sauce. Don't forget the amazing banana pudding!!!
Don't miss this gem of a restaurant! Southern home cookin' owned and operated for 15 years! Cornmeal battered catfish or fall-off-the-bone chicken: dry rub or Jerk seasoned dipped in Max's homemade BBQ sauce. Succulent! So many sides to choose from- we tried baked mac, yams, baked beans & green beans. Complete your meal with homemade banana pudding.
Excellent customer service. The staff were quick, friendly and professional. The food was AMAZING , fall off the bone smoked ribs the barbecue sauce was something to be reckoned with. The baked Mac and cheese was the best I’ve had in a while ! Salmon patties , greens and barbecue beans flavored to perfection. And I can’t forget the fluffy cornbread. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good home cooked meal.
This place is a gem! We were looking for somewhere to eat while we stayed the night in Bristol on our way back to DC. If you love southern country cooking, soul food and extremely friendly people, stop here! You won’t be disappointed. The fried chicken was some of the best I’ve ever had. The fried okra was also delicious and the banana pudding blew my mind! The restaurant was homey and clean and the food was all delicious and affordable. A charming restaurant in a charming town. We’ll be back on our next trip!
Our first visit to the new location was wonderful. Very few places offer a full half chicken and Eatz offers several different iterations of this. The fried chicken was really juicy and flavorful. My wife had the open face roast beef. It was delicious as well. Fast, friendly service and we love the decor.
