Reviews for The Old Lighthouse Diner in Bristol, TN
It was an alright place to eat, nothing special about the food. Honestly it was a little pricey for what you get. The waitress... was nice. You could get the same quality food at waffle house for cheaper. If your coming from out of town definitely make the6 min extra drive to Bloom in the downtown area. You get more and better food for the same price. Read more
It was a great place to get lunch. Service was prompt, friendly and the woman who waited on us turned out to be one of the... owners. I had a fried steak steak sandwich with gravy at the waitresses suggestion and she didn't steer me wrong. My friend hadeggs over easy with fried chicken livers and said his was good also. Highly recommend. Read more
Came here on some recommendations and was somewhat disappointed. VERY busy due to Bristol Night race morning, but the difficulty... started when I left my name (20 min wait) after a couple other groups were called in, I raised concern with who I think was oneof the owners. She did seat us immediately, but I found out my name was never written down! Breakfast was good if a bit greasy.All in all I wouldn't avoid this place based on my experience. Fun decor and for the most part the people were nice. Read more
Service animal owners be aware. The owner will give you a hard time, and be kinda rude about it. But if you stand your ground,... defend your rights with the correct laws and show your animals ID he will back down. I was originally about to give thisbusiness a 1 star because he almost didnt let us eat. Stating that because our service animal was a pit bull she was dangerousand he couldnt let her in. Even after we told him she alerts my husband when to take his medications. After showing ID andstanding up for ourselves he changed his tone and "let" us eat. The wait staff was very kind. The place is themed and decoratedin a cool theme. The food was good. We had breakfast. Nothing special. They have a full menu all day. Breakfast lunch and dinnerfood. Reasonably priced. Read more
A definite NEVER AGAIN ! The prices are insane for the quantity and quality. 2 orders of Biscuits and gravy - biscuits were... dry, hard and small, barely covered with gravy. 1 order of hash browns. The ONLY flavor they had was GRILL GREASE, and theywere under cooked. $3.99 for less than half a potato?????? Menu said a dollar fifty less.... Heartburn city. One coffee,smallest cup I have EVER seen in a restaurant, and even though it was more than half gone when food arrived, NO REFILL. 1Water One order dry toast, at least that was ok. The waitress was ok, that's the ONLY reason I gave 2 stars, but no coffeerefill is inexcusable. $19.85 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me? Crooks. Read more
Expensive in general, but more so compared to the amount of food given. Food is bland, tastes like they don't even use salt or... pepper, let alone any real seasonings or spices. Your better off going across the street and getting McDonald's, may not be asfresh but it's faster, more bang for your buck, and at least has some flavor Read more
Lovely little family run business that caters with a friendly attitude. The menu is light, but options for all four including... vegetarian and vegan were cared for and the cooking was great; especially the home fries style potatoes. Was a great stop inwith Nostalgic mixtures from across the country as decor. If you are looking for sparkly and swanky, look elsewhere...butlooking for charm and great service, go here especially if you're on your way by for the Bristol sign!! Read more
I had breakfast there this morning. Place is great! Priced right, tasty food, and extremely friendly staff! Before I had creamer... and sugar mixed in my coffee, my food was in front of me. 100% recommended. Read more
