Stroud's is known for their delicious fried chicken, and it's almost guaranteed that the restaurant is full on a Friday or Saturday night. The food is wonderful, and they're busy for good reason!


In addition to a fantastic menu, they also have a crazy bar that's full with all sorts of wines and spirits. On my list to order every visit is the lobster claw mac and their garlic smashed potatoes.


We all know Bristol is great at seafood, but can you sea how good their food is? My personal favorite is the seared Ahi.


If you're a pickle type of person, Char Bar has some great ones. Otherwise, cheese grits and their brisket are my personal favorites in town. They're always cooking up good food!


Some of the best burgers I've ever eaten came from Beer Kitchen. They pair perfectly with many of their beers, of which they have many varieties.


German food? German food! I can't recommend anything specific on their menu, because it's all good in its own way! Grünauer does it right.


Though it's a deli/cafeteria, this spot made the list due to its amazing desserts and freshly prepared hot foods. It's a fantastic spot for a quick lunch!


The food here sometimes runs a little out of the ordinary, but the burnt ends mac and cheese is some of the best I've had! Their shrimp and grits are also quite popular with many guests.


To be fair, it was hard to pick just one of their locations, but you've got a great chance no matter which one you pick. Any Jack Stack Barbecue will leave you satisfied and full of our signature dish.


More barbecue? Of course! We aren't famous for it for nothing! Q39 does an excellent job of ensuring that every bite is as good as the last, and the meats are all prepared perfectly. There's not much more to ask for!
