Stopped at Hawg & Dawg on our way to the Smokeys. Erwin is a sweet little town. This place is a great small BBQ joint. Serving very fresh, delicious pork and beef. Its clean snd nicelt decorated. Staff is nice and quick, The friendly owner tells silly jokes. The platters are generous, coleslaw was super fresh, salads nice , the iced tea cool and fresh. They have a full range of sauces to go with the meats. 8 in fact representing many flavor profiles. It would be better if they had some chicken or fish for the non-red-meat eating folks.
Worth the slight detour off on 26 at Erwin.
Enjoy!

Really enjoyed my visit here. The steak was very good, a bit tough, but very good. The rice and carrots were good. The portions were adequate. Really a great experience. Wasn't expecting this good considering the location. You don't find many neighborhood mom and pop Japanese joints in the rural South.

While taking a drive to enjoy the fall temps and leaves, we decided to stop to get lunch. Some folks with us remembered a locally owned restaurant they had been to a few years back. We stopped at Dari-Ace thinking this was the place our friends remembered. It was not the same place but we did enjoy a nice lunch of bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches and burgers with fries. It was good. It was very clean. Those working were very friendly. We hope to go back some time for a milkshake.

I am a frequent flyer at Rockys, usually take out. While I adore the food, I have one complaint. They're almost the only restaurant I go to that charges for refills. That's almost unheard of, and very annoying in a restaurant that serves spicy food. Other than that, I can't complain about the service, but it's not spectacular. It's good, but not great.

Pals in Erwin is awesome. I haven't had any items prepared incorrectly. Out of all the times here I might have had to wait more than 10 seconds once. If you need a place to get food and get back to work or jump off the interstate and grab something without adding time to your trip Pals in Erwin is the place for you

I'm a fan of Mexican food, have had it many places. Suppose it's not the same in eastern TN. Price was fine, service was OK. Food is just average. Not a lot of choices in the area and I would return but not in a rush.

I only use the Carry-Out option. The food is great, service friendly, very quick on getting your food ready...but...most important...it has ALWAYS been accurate!! I usually order order a variety of food for 5 different people. So nice to find a dependable food service restaurant.

Had one of the best hamburgers I have ever eaten last night from the Noli Food Truck. They were serving at the Atlantic Ale House in Johnson City as they do on a regular basis. Serving southern style barbecue, tacos, hamburgers, fried cauliflower, and lots more, they have become a mobile food go to establishment in our area. Staff is an incredibly nice group of people who go out of their way to provide excellent customer service. They use Facebook effectively to let folks know where they will be located on any given night. If you are in the Johnson City area it would pay you to seek them out and try some astounding food truck cuisine.
