cootie brown's

i just recently got serious about eating gluten free and they have the most wonderful gluten free bun and hoagie! not to forget about the pizzas and all the toppings! cootiebrown'sis always a must when friends are in town!!!

great gluten free pizza!. cootiebrown'soffers a great gluten free pizza and gluten free beer (red bridge). the service is always good, very friendly and nice atmosphere.

quirky and delicious!. cootiebrown'sis consistently different and delicious. the waitstaff is consistently a notch above mediocre. in this case, that is not a bad thing. they aren't there to be your friend or butter you up, they are obviously very busy. they will do what you ask of them when you are lucky enough to see them, so keep that in mind. be quick on your feet and anticipate your needs when you see them. the food is fresh and yummy. definitely not your every day fare and it does take time to prepare. desserts are especially delish!

quirky and delicious.. a fun and quirky place to go. the food is always good. great place to go with friends and kids. the desserts are phenomenal. love the orange cake and the key lime cookies. yum!

my wife and i went to dinner at cootiebrown'sfor the first time last night. based upon the full parking lot we expected to wait up to an hour for a table but were pleased to be seated within 10 minutes! i ordered a double cheeseburger (the waitress asked if i'd like a side of their specialty homemade potato chips) and my wife ordered 1/2 meat lover's pizza. my hamburger was served in the middle of a large plate all by itself! don't you think they could've sprung for a handful of potato chips or at least a pickle? i know times are tough, but come on! we both liked the pizza although the sauce was a little bland and the overall pizza was ok. i'm confident we will go back. the service was excellent - thanks brandy!

colorful and inviting with a double helping of yum. i must admit, the first time we went to cootiebrown'safter a roller derby game in gray tn, i was worried we were going to end up with dry chicken fingers at a biker strip club.
as it turns out, cootiebrown'sis now the place that i look forward to eating in johnson city when i attend roller derby bouts out that way. the facility is one-of-a-kind with colorful murals, color swirled tables and a warm atmosphere that makes you just want to stick around. the staff has always been super efficient and friendly, the menu is creative and the food tasty. not to mention they have a seasonal pumpkin cheese cake that is to die for.. and did i mention that i've had some of the friendliest service that i've ever experienced in the state of tennessee?
bottom line, when traveling to johnson city, i make sure to include cootiebrown'sas part of my to-do list and i've not yet been let down. i recommend very highly.

we tryed again, it was great!. my husband and i went back to cootiebrown'stoday. it was a busy lunch. the wait staff was dressed for halloween.
we were seated outside which was warm on a chilly day. our server was dress in a duke jersey and we are duke fans, we took that as a sign.

i order a single beef tamale and 1/2 cootie club sandwich. my husband had the california veggie roll and a piece of key lime pie. we split a small basket of homemade chips/fries. the food was excellent.

the service was fast and efficient. our table was bussed quickly. we enjoyed trying to figure out what costumes were what....you had a pumpkin, the duke player, a mario, a werewolf, a ballerina, and a banana.

in light of this experience, i will have to change my vote from 'doesn't like' to 'likes'. i am glad we went back. i will not be shy about going back.

dont get it. friends and family love this place, i think it is highly over rated and the service is too poor to tolerate. last time a friend and i were there. i ordered tamales....when the main course came..the waiter did not remove the tamale plates or husks...just ignored them. i set them in the floor right between the tables, the hostess just stepped over them.

i only eat there when everyone else over rules me. the tables are too small not to be bussed between courses.

visiting jc & a friend suggested cootiebrown'sfor local flavor. we're glad we gave it a try. the food & the service were outstanding. our server, hunter, was helpful, the taco-rito was great, & my custom-order 1/2 pizza was very satisfying. if we make it back this way, we'll check them out again.

cootiebrown'sis a unique restaurant with a great selection of beers and the food is average to good.

very unique atmosphere. the menu at cootiebrown'sis as eclectic as the decor! try one of the out-of-the-ordinary pizzas and don't miss the key lime cookies!
