This restaurant is so Clean..practically Spotless!! The Food is very good and so is the staff. We had driven by many times and thought it was closed down..but it was always in the afternoon. They are open and close at 1:30pm. They have a very good breakfast with good homemade bread. My husband had the fried gizzard and loved them( they are very hard to find in this area) We were very pleased and will return

If you want a blueberry waffle…. Just a blue berry waffle and nothing else, that will cost you $8. EIGHT DOLLARS for a waffle with frozen blue berries sprinkled on top. That are still frozen LOL. It’s a good waffle but in no world is it an $8 waffle. Good service, nice atmosphere but the only affordable thing is the coffee. High prices, small portions, decent flavor. I’m glad I went but I won’t return.

Very good breakfast and fantastic service! Great atmosphere! Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the political undertones with some of the signs and merchandise. Our country is still very divided and in my opinion, we should all do our best to bring people together, not fuel the division, regardless of who we support. Sometimes we just want to enjoy a meal and not have to think about what is going on in the world, especially politics.

My first time eating at The Old Lighthouse Dinner in Bristol TN. My wife and I had Saturday morning breakfast and not only was everything prepared fast and hot, it tasted great. Eggs, bacon, biscuit & gravy and grits. The atmosphere was very nice and everyone was very friendly. Nice Christian music in the background at the perfect volume. Best of all, our server was great.

I wanted to love this place, but it left so much to be desired. We were seated quickly and our waitress was nice. Our over-priced food came incredibly fast, but was barely warm - the biscuits wouldnt even melt butter, the potatoes were overly salted, the cheddar cheese in our eggs resembled that weird liquid cheese used on cheap nachos and the coffee tasted burnt. Disappointing.

Great little diner. Food consistently get is with nice sized portions.

Best place we have eaten since moving to Tennessee... my husband loves loves the corn beef hash.. there home made bread is amazing. The people who own it are beautiful people.

This is a family centric restaurant who treat every customer as if they were a long time friend!! The service is impeccable and their food delicious. If you havent had an opportunity to go put this place on your list!

Breakfast was great. I had the cheddar cheese sauce on my eggs, potatoes, - Id leave off next time and do American or no cheese at all.Decor was fun and painting of exterior of resturaunt was great too! Staff friendly. Well definitely go back when in the area

The food was amazing. We were quoted an hour wait and it was much less than that. The staff was very friendly. The food was well worth the 15-20 minute wait.

This is my favoritest restaurant in Bristol Virginia Tennessee and the world I would go there everyday if I could and have a ride when my sister comes in town thats our favorite spot to eat The Waitresses are lovable kind sweet caring the restaurants nice and clean and the country food is delicious

Food and service was excellent! Everything cooked to perfection! Would recommend for everyone to give them a try.

My sis and I tried their breakfast and it was great. The employees stayed on top of our needs, were very friendly and a bit of fun to chat with. I will be going back soon and advise anyone to check it out.

Great place loved the patriotism on display! Thank God for those that still believe in what America stands for. Oh and the food is great too!!

Very friendly staff! Food was great!

Food was good but I will say price is very high,I mean me, my mom and my dad all went on vac ca and spent over $53 just for a couple items. So food was good but I did not realize I was Jeff Bezoz.

Amazing hospitality and great food! We loved the atmosphere and the decor. Angelo is a true business man, raising his children to follow his footsteps in providing fast, efficient and friendly service to its patrons. We even found out that he has a cousin in our part of town. Its indeed a small world. We plan to visit on our way from Alabama to NJ.

Fantastic food, great people, fun decor. Overall amazing diner!

Great people, drinks fantastic, food was good, but I like meat falling off of bone ribs. Try the mustered Carolina sause.

We had breakfast at the Lighthouse Diner this morning 6/4/21 and Tina waited on us. The diner is adorable and the service was fabulous. She was kind and welcoming. The food was fabulous and prompt. Im so happy we chose this diner for breakfast on our mini get away!

Looking for a classic dinner? You found it here. Great home fried potatoes. You wont leave hungry.

Ate breakfast at Lighthouse this morning and it was amazingly good. The bacon, eggs and French Toast were perfect! I requested pepper jack cheese on my scrambled eggs.... yummm!!! The coffee was perfect too and I’m picky about my coffee!!!Highly recommend to anyone. Give this gem a try if in Bristol Area. They serve breakfast all day!😍 service was on point💕

Sweetest diner family owned. The mother and daughter are precious! Best french toast ive had in years add blueberries u wont regret it!

Very good food and service. Would recommend to anyone. Dont miss this gem when in Bristol.

Clean, friendly and fantastic food!We choose this as we wanted something local & family friendly as we passed through on a cross country trip and we were all impressed. I had the gizzards (pictured) and tried buttermilk pancake; perfect pairing. 2 adults in our group split the Titan burger. Everything was first class diner style. The bathrooms were spectacularly clean!

Decent food. caring waitstaff.Owner has attitude, esp with door signage

Good Place for breakfast. Food was great. Staff friendly. Definitely a good place to eat

A great diner. Hand formed burger patties, Americana everywhere, super friendly service. Well worth the stop.

Dont let the long wait times to be seated discourage you. The food and service here is well worth the wait!

Amazing food and super friendly service with great atmosphere love every bit of it. Giant pancakes were awesome!

Great food, wonderful family owned business. First time there but felt like we were old friends.

Food and service was food and didnt have a long wait for our food.

Great breakfast! The Western omelet was fantastic.

Very clean. Good food. Friendly service.

Wonderful diner! Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Breakfast was AWESOME! Good food, friendly service!

I paid close to thirty dollars for our orders below that were marked less than 10 dollars online. Upon arriving and asking for sour cream I was told they didnt have any but, a server chimed in and said they did have some, I still was not given said item. No opinions here Im just listing facts.

Cute little unique diner. I loved the decor and the food!

Delicious food, friendly staff, awesome decorations. You won’t want to miss the miss the homemade bread. A real local treasure!

Such a down home diner. Loved it

Very friendly. Food was excellent and seated immediately.

Drove from 45 minutes away and by far one of the worst places ive ever eaten. If they put more thought into food prep instead of political signs the food might actually be edible. I ordered a burger along with fries and had I known it was that bad i wouldve just went to mcdonalds. My dad and girlfriend both couldnt eat but a few bites of their food before we just left. 10 out of 10 worst place ive ever eaten at. $35 dollars for two burgers and biscuits and gravy? You gotta be kidding me

Omg, awesome breakfast, ate everything, so delicious! Great service, great food! Had their Captains Breakfast. Includes Drink.

Great atmosphere friendly people great food

Everyone was lovely. Good food!

A fun family run diner style spot that really makes you feel right at home. Great made to order breakfast options and ever changing home made desserts. Check it out for breakfast or lunch as it closes early.

Well worth the momentary wait! Friendly, and delightful service with a smile! Definite stop for breakfast!! Thank you !!

Food good, waitress very nice. Pictures of back in the day

Good food and service. Would definitely go back.

Omg why dont more people know of this place!

Food was amazing, service was spectacular, family owned business with monster pancakes

Dining at The Old Lighthouse Diner was much more than eating great food. It is like entering a museum, old license plates from different states...dont know if all 50 were there, if not, close; old movie posters, Norman Rockwall prints, lighthouse items, military ball caps & flags. Owner is retired Marine with a very friendly staff. If you are in the Bristol, TN area, we highly recommend stopping here for breakfast or lunch.

Down to earth good breakfast and the owner is there working hard setting the example.

Locally owned. Food was great! Service was amazing!

I love this place great food great service

Cute place, great breakfast, good service. Country fried steak with sausage gravy, nope, not listed on the menu for breakfast, but these folks aim to please, just ask. Grits were awesome too, and homemade bread, mmmmmm.

My cup was never empty

Nice place, very friendly and great food. A little crowded on Race day.

We stopped here on our way through Tennessee. I cannot stress enough how lovely this family owned/operated restaurant is!!! Warm, welcoming service made us feel like family. And hands down the BEST omelette I’ve ever had. We are from the Philly area and I had the steak and cheese omelette. It was like a Philly cheesesteak with no bun. The pancakes are huge and delicious! Also, try the shoestring fries!!’ We WILL stop here again on our next trip.

For was great. The burgers are amazing, as were the Belgian waffles

Cool diner. Food higher than should have been, but it was hot n fresh.

Friendly service, clean, and home cooked style breakfast.Better than the surrounding restaurants.

Excellent breakfast. I had the breakfast scramble and a side biscuit w/sausage gravy. Very good! Great service. Nice people. Highly recommend.

Always great food and service is Fantastic!

What a wonderful place! Excellent food, friendly staff (especially the impressively patient server who didnt mind our rambunctious 4 year old), and a sincerity towards equal treatment of all. Highly recommend!

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly waitstaff.

Good food for breakfast. Portions are small, but good quality.

We go there all the time. Its been great every time Im in there.The food is really good.

I wish they still made their macaroni salad from scratch and it was not store bought they use to have the best macaroni salad in the world 😃 you could buy it and lie and say you made it! LoL 🤣 I got a salad and it was fresh and had cucumber s in it

Cute old place!

Cute place. Great breakfast. Its how i imagined a 50s diner like

Friendly staff with great service and delicious breakfast food that hits the spot without thinning the wallet.

Good breakfast and great service. The homemade bread was delicious.
