For lunch today we dropped by McAlisters Deli in Kingsport.
This deli is usually crowded and today was no different.
I ordered the French Dip, side of Baked Lays and Sweet Tea.
Food - This was the best French Dip sandwich I have ever had. The roast beef was very tender and no fat; and the bread was very fresh.
Service - Despite the crowd our food came out in less than 5 minutes. They had workers going around refilling drinks and handing out local papers. We even got a to-go drink.
Price - $8.70 - Average for this type of food at lunch.
Cleanliness - Spotless. The floors and tables were very clean. I noticed that when a couple of tables emptied they were cleaned off quickly.
Restroom Cleanliness - Not applicable.
Overall - They had plenty of staff working and it showed. Good food and good service is what i expect, and I got it today at McAlisters.

Pizza Plus - Bloomingdale (Kingsport)
Pizza Plus is a regional pizza chain with 64 locations in 4 states (TN, VA, NC, KY).
We headed there for supper last night. We have ordered their pizza by delivery for years but have only eaten in maybe a dozen times.
We ordered a large thin-crust pepperoni pizza and cheese sticks and three drinks.
Food - AWESOME! Some of the best pizza around.
Service - Refreshing. The waiter was very friendly and my tea never got empty. He even brought a cookie for our child for desert. Cheese bread was at our table in about 10 minutes and the pizza in about 15.
Price - $12.01 for the three of us to eat and we had 2 pieces left over.
Cleanliness - This building is older but the inside was clean. No food on the floor or tables. Kitchen area looked neat and clean from where we ordered.
Bathroom Cleanliness - Average for a restaurant. There was a log for employees to sign when cleaning. Smelled clean.
Overall a pleasant dinner.

Taco Bell - Kingsport
Swung by the Taco Bell on East Stone Dr. for lunch today. I like Taco Bell. It's fast, it's cheap and it's pretty good for fast food.
Today I ordered a Grilled Stuffed Burritto and a MexMelt with Sweet Tea.
Service - There was no line so I walked right in and ordered. In the recent past this restaurant has been short staffed and slow. But today in less than two minutes I had my food. I did tell them I was dining in and they put my order in a to-go bag but that was ok with me. Didn't have to worry about the tray.
Food - The food was just like always. Fast-food Mexican. It was hot and there was plenty of it.
Price - Around $7.00
Cleanliness - This restaurant was rebuilt this year so it is still very nice and new. Floors were clean and no trash laying around. Tables were wiped.
Restroom Cleanliness - Not applicable
