Kingston Alley Grill & Ale House 7355 Kingston Pk., 766-0464. Fresh baked bread and beef ground in-house. Sporting events on state-of-the-art TVs, game room, pool tables.
Runs Parallel to 40. If you had more time you might want to stop in Gatlinburg or Pigeon forge. Kids love Dollywood. If you stop early in Johnson City go to Bailey's on North Roan. I'll probably pass you as I'm headed up to Albany. The Kingston Pike runs parallel to 40 so you'll have an easy on and an easy off, and there are plenty of good hotels along the route.
