We stopped in and had lunch at the original Burger Bar, located in downtown Bristol, Virginia/Tennessee. This classic diner has been around since 1942 and is famously known as the last place Hank Williams, Sr. had his last meal and was seen -
It's a tiny place, with the inside looking like two different restaurants joined by a small hallway between both places. It had an old diner feel with thick stools and a Formica counter -
I went with the "I Can't Help It" burger, which is a cheeseburger with bacon -
The walls and ceilings are adorned with signed one dollar bills, that I'm assuming were taped up by visiting customers -
Seems the blue state of Virginia is keeping in line with their taxation, geesh -
All in all it was a good take. I'd stop in again if in the area. The burger was tasty, as were the onion rings, and it was nostalgic traveling back in time if only for a short time. I now regret not ordering one of their milkshakes, alas. They had quite a variety and they looked delicious too, next time...
