hhstigers7327 217 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 So glad someone else agrees with me. Cuz's is WAY overrated. Their food is overpriced and not very good. They use way too much vinegar in/on everything they make. The only thing worth eating is the eggroll. My MIL loves going there, so to appease her, we go once/year...and every time, one or more people in our group ends up getting sick afterwards (the johnnytrots, if you know what I mean). Then they have that bull about "no hats". C'mon man, you're eating in a barn. I couldn't agree more! The company I previously worked for took us twice a year and I hated the place even when they were paying for it! GMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Ive at at Alamo once and it was ok. I had halibut that was cooked well. Im wanting to try Holstons sometime soon when I am back down to Sevierville. The Hawaiian Ribeye is what I am eyeing. Honestly I have never tried anything at Alamo other than their steaks and that burger, but my wife did get the Salmon and she said it was fantastic, but she liked the Salmon at Joe's Crab shack better. I may have to check out Holstons myself sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz's is motoring along on reputation alone these days. Food hasn't been really solid in a decade. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I love taking Grapefield. I take it every time I'm heading from Richlands towards Wytheville. Nice drive. Pretty drive. Ungodly long if you're using it to bypass East River Tunnel to get to Bluefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I think their steak is the best I've ever had. If you like burnt to a crisp on the outside and bloody on the inside... Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 If you like burnt to a crisp on the outside and bloody on the inside... Been a victim of this, too. That's one of two things: (1) nuking the steak or (2) having a nasty grill, neither of which are good. Virtually impossible to get a steak cooked more than medium-rare there without getting a char-grilled hunk of meat for anything beyond medium.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 The best thing I have had there was a fish dinner of some type. Cant even remember what it was its been so long. Honestly, I think Cookout beats them bbq plate. My FIL and I had the catfish there once...we both made the mistake of eating their tartar sauce. Both of us spent the evening on the pot...

I can remember it being crappy the first time I went with my wife's parents back in 1994. Nothing has changed in my opinion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to check out Holstons myself sometime. I have a coworker who has ate at Holstons a few times and she loves it. She is a pretty particular person about what she eats too. https://www.yelp.com/biz/holstons-kitchen-sevierville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 What a fantastic hijack of the C'burg v. Abingdon thread!!! Well done, gentlemen, well done, indeed! falconfansrock, Deleted Account, 1inStripes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 If you like burnt to a crisp on the outside and bloody on the inside... I've never had one burnt. And I eat steak medium rare, so the pinker, the better. Longer you cook meat, the worse it tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Exactly. Just get on 52N and go across East River Mountain... If you can get off at Exit 64, that'd be best if the traffic is clogged. But sometimes, you can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO 316 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 What a fantastic hijack of the C'burg v. Abingdon thread!!! Well done, gentlemen, well done, indeed! I was thinking the same thing! Even though I'm an Abingdon guy, I enjoyed reading about different routes and places to eat. Gman, are you a Vols fan? I only ask because there's a person on a UT forum that im a member of with the exact same name....Gman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconfansrock 11 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I am thinking the real test will be week 9 against Richlands. I don't know a lot about C-Burg or B-Burg, but seems like they are traditionally pretty good teams as well. Hoping the Falcons pick a win up tonight! Go Falcons!!

V-Cats 472 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 With Richlands and Virginia High playing Thursday, I went to this game last night. That was an absolute bloodbath, most points AHS has scored since 2008 (63 vs. Grundy) and Christiansburg is a shell of what they used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Mania 235 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 With Richlands and Virginia High playing Thursday, I went to this game last night. That was an absolute bloodbath, most points AHS has scored since 2008 (63 vs. Grundy) and Christiansburg is a shell of what they used to be It looked like C-Burg had some good athletes but they just couldn't execute and appeared to be out matched. I'm hoping its that Abingdon is playing much better on defense than they did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
