    Traveling from Berea KY to Durham NC with 4 students when we Yelped for a locally owner restaurant. This is a home run and worth the stop. Recommend that you get there before 11:45am for lunch because of the popularity and 18 booths /  tables on the inside. This place gets busy.

    Daily luncheon specials - Today Friday - Caribbean Chicken Pasta, Ginger Sesame Salmon Salad, Italian Club, Rib Basket and three soups. David served us encouraging and responding to our questions. Ask for him. He brought us Fried Sweet Potato as an appetizer.

    I had Baked Potato soup and a side salad. Fabulous! Soup hits the spot - "Makes my tummy warm," reports Lyndsay, which they sell in a cup, bowl, quart, and even crock size containers. All of us passed on the Molten Cake (rich dark chocolate cake with gooey center).

    During my short stay here, I think Allisons was the best overall restaurant we me and my unfortunate group ate at.  If you should find yourself forced in this rural area for business, you may pass by this unassuming eatery.  The restaurant is a converted drive-thru.  The prices reasonable.  The menu larger than the Hardware restaurant.  No liquor, but beer and wine.  

    I had the apple/cinnamon pork chops with sweet potato wedges.  The pork chops were kinda dry/slighty overcooked and the apple cinnamon flavor didn't permeate as much as I would like.  The sweet potato wedges were awesome though, going along with this unique cinnamon butter.  Those wedges made my night and my review of this place.

    I stopped by Allison's Restaurant while in the midst of a massive road trip from Houston,TX to Philadelphia,PA. My Dad and I were looking for something good and local. And in my opinion, we found it.

    It was a smaller place with a big patio that used to be a drive in. My Dad got the Jalapeno Cheese Burger, which was amazing, and I got the basil chicken which was just ok. Whatever you order, make sure and get the Cinnamon Butter Sweet Potato Fries! They were my favorite part of the stop!

    My husband and I were spending a couple nights in Abingdon (heading down the Creeper Trail) wanted some local cuisine, so I was hoping there would be something on Yelp. Up popped Alison's and we were right there. Not much impressed with the outside. But, the food was fantastic! and the service was top notch. I had the Grilled Shrimp and veg medley..superb. My husband had the Idaho trout stuffed with crab. He raved..we were so pleased to have fallen onto this "gem"..thanks Yelp!

    While in Abingdon for a wedding anniversary getaway, we ate supper at Allison's.  I must say the sweet potato fries and ribs were incredible!  We have returned to Abingdon since that experience and have been back to Allison's.  It really is a great locally-owned and operated restaurant!

    I know I said I wouldn't go back but a couple co-workers wanted to go and I really did have a craving for their chicken tenders,so I said why not? As I said 7months ago,service is lacking.I dont know about others but I think waiting for 40min. to get your food is just a bit to long.I will admit the chicken tenders were great but I only get an hour for lunch.

    Was this review …?

    Great meal here tonight. Loved the spring rolls and liked the salmon pretty well. Always a pleasure.
