The "Cuban" sandwich is authentic as those served in Tampa, Fl! The service, atmosphere, and food was well worth 150 mile drive! Bristol Cafe' and Market is a MUST!
I’m here all the time. Nice atmosphere and good food. I also like the coffee. Rarely super busy when I’m there, so I never wait long after ordering.
The deviled eggs and loaded baked potato salad are a pregnant girl's dream! The flavor is blended perfectly with whatever you order from the sandwiches to the wraps all down to their desserts. Would highly recommend whether you're looking for a light lunch or a hearty dinner. Very much worth it!! The staff is amazing with fast service and a friendly disposition that lets you know they take pride in and enjoy making such awesome food.
I love love this place. Amazing food and enviroment every time. Ive been 4x in last two weeks because its that good. One of the very best in Bristol Tn 🥰
We highly recommend Bristol Cafe & Market. We eat lunch there every Friday afternoon. The food is delicious, fresh and made to order. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Prices are reasonable and we love eating there. I wish we could give it 10 stars.
I’ve always taken my food to go, and I’ve never been disappointed with it once I get to my destination. Their sandwiches are delicious. They put love and kindness into every morsel of food they make. I have to say I think one of my favorites is the tomato basil soup. If you’re looking for a place to stop whether you’re alone or with the family, this would be the place. I’d go. Good home-cooked food at a good price.
Bristol Cafe & Market is the epitome of “hidden in plain sight”. Nestled along the volunteered parkway its unimposing facade presents not flashy or eye catching. Instead, it presents as just another delicatessen that could go either way. However, if you are in the mood for something beyond the usual greasy and barely flavored fare found along the parkway, get ready for quite the adventure! When you enter you will be greeted by the friendliest restaurant staff in the Tri-Cities. The welcoming demeanor is substantive enough to take you back to the good old days when customers where family and friends, not just numbers. The atmosphere is that of a family kitchen filled with mouthwatering smells and hunger enticing phrases scribbled across their plentiful menu board. As for the food, there in lies one of the best kept secrets in Bristol. With an offering that caters to everyone, their menu is voluminous and well thought out for something unique in the area. I can’t give high enough praise to the mouth watering French dip or the Reuben sandwiches. The roast beef on the French dip is flavorful, moist, and well paired with a perfect amount of horseradish and cheese wrapped safely in a brioche bun that has the slightest crisp on the outside, while maintaining a gentle and moist texture inside. One you bathe the sandwhich in the comfortably warm beef broth and take the first bite, you will be transported to the same feeling you had eating Thanksgiving dinner as a child. With regard to the Reuben, the mound of corned beef covered in fresh kraut and bathed in a Russian or Thousand Island style dressing creates a savory filling contained in a perfectly toasted rye bread. Pair either with the homemade bacon ranch tri colored pasta, or the unfathomably delicious macaroni and cheese and you will have your own piece of heaven on earth. If the fresh and flavorful fare disappear and leave you with a smidgeon of room, I would recommend the pecan pie or homemade strawberry moose…. Oh,
I dropped in here for lunch and was blown away by how cozy everything felt. The food was incredibly fresh and tasted like it was made with real care, plus the staff were so welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. It is a fantastic little spot to grab a bite and relax for a bit. I will definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I am passing through.
Found this quaint small town deli on the way through town. Exceptional alternative to your standard fast food options. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants a family friendly and pleasant atmosphere while also getting an excellent well prepared and thoughtful meal. A lot of love goes into this place and it shows.
I visited Bristol Café for the first time today during a business lunch meeting with representatives from Bristol Motor Speedway. I had never heard of the restaurant before, but the people I was meeting with said they eat here more than anywhere else—which makes perfect sense given its location right next door. I ordered the French Dip with au jus, and it was very good. I would have liked a little more meat on the sandwich, but considering the price point, it felt fair and was still an enjoyable meal. For my side, I chose the deviled eggs. They were a bit underwhelming, although I only tried the original version and didn't give any of the other varieties a chance. What really stood out was seeing the food that everyone else at the table ordered. Several dishes looked phenomenal and definitely caught my attention for a future visit. The menu appears to have plenty of options, and the prices are very reasonable. I'm a big believer in supporting local restaurants, and Bristol Café is exactly the kind of place I enjoy discovering. Everyone we encountered was extremely friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming from the moment we walked in. I'm confident I'll be back to try more of the menu in the future.
