We were invited to go to the Battery for the first time today. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and is now our very favorite restaurant. We had steak, Mahi Mahi, jumbo shrimp, and Maryland crab cakes for our entrees. The salads were very fresh, and the sides were generous. The fried green tomatoes we got for an appetizer... More

Had my first experience at The Battery while dining with friends on a Friday night. My first take on the place when I walked in its that its a nice trendy place to take the family or a date. We arrived around 6 pm which was a good thing because it started filling up soon after that. The restaurant was... More

my wife and I (from Arizona) joined our son and daughter-in-law (from Johnson City) for dinner last Saturday night. First visit for all four of us. Our son had been told they had the best steaks in town (and were comparable to what you'd get in the midwest). We all had steak. The 8 oz sirloin was amazing. (looks like... More

I have now eaten twice at the Battery for Sunday brunch and I can say it is the best tasting brunch in Johnson City by far. The selection of foods, smoothies, desserts, etc. is great. The taste of the various foods was great.The restaurant has tropical atmosphere with décor and music. The servers are great. Even the after meal coffee... More

Service was awful from start to finish. Restaurant was loud and not clean. Food was surprisingly good, but cold and took far too long to arrive.

My daughter and her friends chose The Battery for the pre-prom dinner spot. The food was good as was the atmosphere but dinner took 2 hours! And considering it was a Saturday they weren't over packed so there was no real explanation for it. I've heard the same comment from a friend so I'm afraid it's a trend? We'll try... More

Met a number of close friends for dinner, and thought we would try the Battery. This is an old remodeled warehouse that previously had been the site of a different restaurant. When we got there the number of customers was small. But over the next couple hours (nice long meal) the place filled up. Food was quite good -- at... More

Went there with out of town visitors. They choose to go there as they had been there before. We had great service from Bud the bar tender. Martini, hmm hmm. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. Guest had scallops and they are done as well as any we had in Florida. I had salmon (my usual). Only complaint is the salmon was... More

Great food, artistically presented. Entrees come with 2 sides and a side salad is $2 extra. Most of the entrees are under $20. Service was slow and the restaurant is one big room and noisy. Decor is nice.

We love the Battery. They have put some thought into their food. The scalloped potatoes and creamed corn are authentic carolinian. The fish is always a good cut and portion and fixed just right with wine, lemon and capers. Salads are only $2 extra when you order an entree. And you get 2 sides with that that are not skimpy....
