Pal’s

One of my absolute favorite drive-​through restaurants. Pal’s fresh cooked, quick delivery system is amazing. Their ‘Sudden Service’ is a key component of their identity, along with their quirky building design. I’ve had everything on the menu, minus the hot dog, and have always been happy with my order.
Not living in the area anymore, Pal’s is an absolute must for every visit.
My go-​to order is a Sweet Tea, Frenchie Fry and the Big Chicken sandwich. The tea is perfectly sweetened according to the standard of the area, the fries (coated w seasoned salt) are generous and the thin-​cut, deli-​sliced chicken sandwich is also a generous portion.
You’ll come the first time for the fun look of the building, you’ll come back for quality of the food.

Was in the area for a baseball tournament. Locals said to eat here and I am glad that I did. Fast service and the food was good. Really enjoyed their fries. Only down side was that the sweet tea was average. I would eat here again.

Pal’s has a reputation among locals as the favorite fast food spot. The food is always fresh & hot, and their iced tea is great. This location excels not only in the quality of food they serve, but in the speed of service, which is second to none. I have never had what I would consider even a hint of indifference from any of their employees, and rudeness doesn’t even enter the conversation where Pal’s is concerned. Their Peachie Tea is one of my favorite treats. This location may seem a little out of place, but they have a constant stream of customers for a good reason. My only regret is that there is no place to dine in.

I sooooo miss Pals. I moved to Valdosta, GA four years ago and one of the things I miss most about Johnson City is Pals! The cheddar rounds are the bomb! My favorite is the Chipped Ham, Frenchie Fries, and Peachy tea!!! When I come in to visit that’s always the first place I visit!

Pal’s has been a favorite of my wife’s since she was growing up in East Tenn; now it is the first stop we make pulling into town. There is something so wooing about those large white styrofoam cups and their green-​brown straws. Fries and burgers are well done, burgers a little too well done. The chocolate milkshake is the best I have had anywhere in the world, but the polite and sudden service is top echelon at this brick-​and-​mortar.
I give this 4 stars because it is possible to find a better burger or fries at another boutique, but not a better shake. Additionally, I might a bit disappointed they won’t allow me a franchise.
