    The food was fantastic and the service was friendly and helpful. They have a pretty decent beer selection as well.

    Had a great time here. The roasted clams were yummy. The calamari was decent. I prefer tentacles and there were none to few.

    Quick Summary: A drinking hole for the over 35 crowd in a small town that just so happens to serve some food. Ambiance: On a main strip, large joint, bar is the center of attention. Back patio overlooks the heart of industry in the valley, the wonderful smelling paper mill. It is fairly clean inside and they do seem to take care of their separate dining area. Service: Service is great. They will make some recommendations. Somewhat disappear after the food comes out, but nothing that should make you turn into a yelp bitch and demote a food establishment 4 stars because you want to be waited on hand and foot. Food: Some highlights and some lowlights here. The highlights give it the second star, the lowlights took away the other three. Highlights: Anything they don't cook 1. Raw Clams: Fresh clams, real horseradish. Sweet and tasty. 2. Raw Oysters: briny and good. Lowlights: Anything they cook except spinach 1. 16 oz ribeye. It was cooked correctly, but it wasn't the best cut of meat I have ever had. Think western sizzler, but a little more made to order. The sautéed spinach they presented with it was very good though. Might be more of an ingredient issue but hey, that is part of the business. 2. The special of the night: Meatballs in a rosemary cream sauce with pasta. I can't stress how overdone the meatballs were. They were like rocks of beef. The rosemary cream sauce was overbearing. Pasta, extremely overdone. Summary: People go here to party in this small town. Place was packed to the brim with 30 / 40 / 50 somethings ready to throw down. Drinks are whats for dinner, so any food tastes good at that point. I probably would try something else next time if I am up this way. One positive note though, they have decent beer. So if it was drinks I was after, I might turn up.

    Awesome service from Randy behind the bar. But the food... The Thai-chili shrimp were soggy, and the breading on the chicken tenders tasted like it had been cooked once, put in the fridge, and then reheated in the micro. Was disappointed with food, but great service and superb beer selection.

    Travelling to Kingsport for business and ate here for dinner. I ordered a half dozen clams, fried scallops, risotto, wine and coffee. All was extremely good. The scallops were very fresh and wonderful. The risotto was perfectly prepared. I have never had clams before (had oysters multiple time). I prefer oysters over clams but the clams were good and tasted very fresh. Even the coffee was very nice. Overall it was better than I thought. If it wasn't for the exquisite fried scallops I would given it a 4 star.

    If your going to this biggies as night life entertainment just make sure you get a seat at the bar. Last night we had no waitress wait on us. We had to keep going up to the bar to order food and drinks even though there was a waitress for our table. She just "chose" not to serve us. Horrible server service.

    A co-worker and I came here for dinner. I ordered the Thai shrimp tacos and they were really tasty. My co-worker ordered the shrimp and grits. That was a real winner. Huge serving for a very good price. And loaded with shrimp and sausage. The waitstaff was great. Overall, great time.

    Disappointing. I hate disappointing meals. We went on a Sunday night. I worked in the industry for years, and don't expect A-game on Sunday night, but this was pretty bleak. The good: clams and oysters from the raw bar tasted fresh (especially for a Sunday). Service at the bar was friendly and competent and accommodating. The bad: TVs everywhere with volume super-loud, especially for a quiet evening. I realize part of the shtick is sports bar, but do you really need a dozen TVs drowning out conversation so patrons can watch a bunch of men on steroids wearing pads and running into each other? The pizza. Awful, just awful. The thin-crust pizza is touted as a specialty. We ordered the margherita. We got a woefully undercooked, oversauced slab that was still cold in the middle. The basil was dried powder from a shaker, and the cheese was rancid. I very rarely send anything back to the kitchen, but I sent this back for refiring. I think it sat under a heat lamp for five minutes, as it came back even more insipid, with soggy, underdone crust, and watery sour cheese. We couldn't finish it. The crab cake came unsauced, dry, and crumbly. I'd give this place another shot, maybe. The raw bar was good, and there were a few things on the menu I'd still like to try. I'm willing to consider this was an off night, because I'm forgiving of what could have been a one-off disappointing experience. Two of these will bump it down to one star though.

    Biggies Biggies Biggies can't you see? All those dranks just hypnotized me. I always have a blast here. Service is solid, food is always fresh, and of course the bartenders got their A game goin on! Baby Beer's? Haaaay yo... What in the world is in that? Sure wasn't beer. But delish and easy goin down. FYI. They do have a large dinning area that seems quite busy. Understandably so. I've never ventured to that area. But looks nice. So check out Biggies if you're in the mood for a good time,good food and good dranks.

    Every now and then I have to attend engineering site visits out to Kingsport, TN:-( The majority of those visits come in a 4 week cycle, occur every other week, and I am usually alone. Yep, fun times. I've had about 3 months of this back and forth to seek out this place, but it really didn't take me long at all. Once I did, I was pretty hooked. After I get through any semi-extensive, 10hr workday, I tend to frequent this establishment. Great happy hour. $1 off all drafts, great food discounts. Numerous brews on draft, including a fan favorite of mine, Brooklyn seasonal. And where else can you get a fried pickle happy hour special of only $3.50? Just one of the many menu items I tell ya. Atmosphere is great for a bar. Full bar (pretty decently sized I might add), low lighting, tv's, jukebox, great outdoor seating area, etc. Live radio broadcasts and motorcycle events here are pretty cool. Food is pretty decent, great grilled salmon lunch special, like $8. Haven't tried the clam/ seafood bar, but heard good things. Overall, great bar. Looking forward to checking out the original in Jersey sometime.

    You get what you get and don't throw a fit. The Thai shrimp appetizer was really good, the Philly Cheese Steak just OK. I should have tried one of their seafood signature dishes, but they were proud of their Philly so I gave it a try. All that being said the service was very good southern hospitality so don't pass this place buy if you want some good solid food with exceptional service.

    Our experience was not 4-5 star as others had indicated. We came here for a break from being at hospital visiting with family. We tried the touted raw clams, tasted terrible almost spoiled, maybe not for us. Oysters rockafeller weren't topped with breading or bacon on them, more like spinach artichoke dip dumped on them and were gritty enought to be sent back. I tried the fried oregenata flounder and the breading was soggy and unflavorful. Food mediocre, place inside was nice as was patio. Guess people come more for pickup scene and liquid refeshments.

    Highly recommended! Great seafood, very friendly service, and lots of draft beers. I've tried the "Raw Bar Combo" and the "Seafood Fiesta". Both were excellent. The best seafood restaurant in the Tri-Cities!

    3 words- Shrimp and Grits! The only downside is that it's so much food you have to come with your game face on to polish it off. (2 attempts- 2 fails). Prices are good service is good. I'm out of towner but will make this a regular stop every time I'm in Kingsport.

    what happened? ? Went here with a relative for dinner last night. They usually have very good seafood, but i wasn't very hungry, so I ordered the pizza . I have had their pizza before and it was very good, so I don't know why I got. the disaster on a plate I had. It was basically a flour tortilla with tomato sauce and very little vegetables. I was VERY disappointed! They apparently just slung together this inedible cardboard with sauce and called it a "pizza" and charge $7 for it. I used to like Biggies, but seriously doubt I'm going back. You're an Italian and you serve THIS? you should be ashamed. I'm ashamed for you.

    Good food and service. Great selection of local craft beer from all over the region. The BBQ shrimp was as close to authentic New Orleans style BBQ shrimp as I have had outside of NOLA.

    It's been hit or miss so far in several trips. Mostly hits. When they hit, the food, service, and drinks are top notch. When they miss, they may be out of one or two menu items, service is slow or inattentive, and drinks sluggish. I love clams and oysters and grateful we have Biggies. The bar regulars i know are big fans. They have a nice patio which fills up early in good weather.

    visited this area on vacation: Bays Mountain Park and Natural Tunnel VA. Biggies handled my party of ten with no problem. They assigned us a new waitress, we joked as her final test, but she had an experienced waitress helping her. All the food was excellent: oyster rockefeller, thai coconut shrimp, fried clams, even the cole slaw was good, not too creamy or liquidy. The experienced server recommended a beer made with whiskey barrels when I couldn't make up my mind. It was great and I had two!
