We came to Bristol with no knowledge of Janie’s Restaurant. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Janie waited on us herself and although she was shuffling five or six tables, she gave us plenty of her time. Once we had ordered our drinks (in oversized cups which is awesome), we ordered an appetizer of chips and salsa. They dropped fresh chips in the fryer which came out hot and delicious. The salsa was chucks and flavorful! We ordered the chicken livers and the country fried chicken. The livers were cooked perfectly, which is not easy, they were properly cooked but not dried out. The flavor was very nice. The country fried chicken was a generous breast cooked nicely and covered with a creamy flavorful country gravey. The sides were generous and all cooked well. I normally don’t order desert but after listening to how they prepare the apple upside down cake, we decided to share an order. The cake was very flavorful and warm, it was served with two scoops of icecream. The pricing is more than fair for the quality and portion size. If you are in Bristol make it a point to check...

This is our 3rd time back in 2 weeks. I can't tell you how mad I am that it took me 2 years to find this place! Hands down the best home cookin' in the tri-cities area! Janie is great and it's an awesome place to stop at.

If it's your first time in, just grab a table that you find clean, and someone will be right there to take your drink order. Menus are on the table and very self explanatory.

Janie comes by greeting you by name, remembers your kids, and treats you like family.

Food was amazing!!! The fried pickles are the biggest surprise (I won't ruin the surprise) and were super delicious...with that ranch. Fried green tomatoes your thing? Load up on those beauties..and don't forget the house made ranch..on everything... Did I mention they hand bread their tenders? Yup, they do. They go good with that ranch I was sayin... The desserts have been phenomenal! (Probably good with that ranch, but I didn't think about...
