The Firehouse Restaurant in Johnson City, Tennessee has been serving up some of the best barbecue in the state in a restored 1905 firehouse...complete with a vintage fire engine inside...for over 45 years now! This longtime family-owned favorite is known for its Carolina pulled pork, tender brisket, and fall-off-the-bone ribs. The smoked mac and cheese, baked beans, and pimento cheese dip are local legends. Portions are hearty, the service is warm and attentive, and the prices are fair. If you're craving barbecue but enjoy more of an upscale steakhouse environment while you eat...you really can't go wrong at the Firehouse Restaurant!
