Clinchfield Sub Station
As “Erwin’s best-kept secret,” Clinchfield Sub Station offers fresh-baked bread and hand-formed patties alongside fresh cheesecake and sweet tea. The sandwich shop takes its namesake from the Clinchfield Railroad, a route that ran coal throughout Appalachia.
Mid City Grill
With locations in both Kingsport and Johnson City, Mid City Grill offers a list of burgers with classic and gourmet toppings. The joint gets its name from its central location in downtown Johnson City and has served as a late-night oasis for years.
Pal’s Sudden Service
Pal’s locations are dotted throughout the Tri-Cities, with a reputation for speedy cooking and prompt drive-thru turnaround. With late local founder Pal Barger as a driving force, the chain achieved staple status in the region.
J’s Corner
A self-proclaimed dive restaurant, J’s Corner serves up American classics like fresh-made burgers, smoked BBQ and deep-fried hotdogs. Located in downtown Elizabethton, J’s also serves meat by the pound and sauce by the gallon.
