J J’s Restaurant and Sports Bar in Abingdon Virgina is a really nice place to eat. Most of the time when we travel to Abingdon we eat at the Tavern or the Peppermill. Both of these places are great places to eat. However, on our last trip we were just passing through on our wat home from South Carolina.  We wanted to find a place with good food and faster service. After reading several reviews we decided to try J J’s. The Restaurant is located at 115 Charwood Drive in Abingdon Virgina.

Like most sports bars J J’s Restaurant has the walls all covered with sports memorabilia and TV’s.  The seating is high tops booths or bar. The people are nice and welcoming, and the food is great. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos.  Which had Bar B Q, Beans, Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Onions, Salsa and Sour Cream covering the Pork and Chips. I had to try them, and they were great.

I had the Quatar Pound Burger. It is a smaller version of their Best Burger.  It has lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions, and Cheese.  The Burger also comes with their house chips. You may find a burger as good as this one but not one any better than this. J J’s Restaurant really has this nailed down.

If you are Abingdon and like us looking for something different or faster, try J J’s Restaurant and Sports Bar.

Cate’s at Bolton Landing is a good example of the difference in Lake George and Bolton Landing. The streets are very tight with parking on both sides, but the closeness of everything gives a feeling of being a part. You just feel at home in Bolton Landing. Cate’s is right on the street, When you sit there you are a part of everything.

Cate’s has really great Italian food. I had the Lasagna.  The menu says that it is a local favorite and I can see why it was really good.

My wife had the Chicken Marsala and really enjoyed it.

The amount of food was unbelievable. I seldom leave anything behind but on this trip to Cate’s at Bolton Landing, I could not eat it all. Cate’s menu is family friendly, but the restaurant is also very nice for couples wanting a night out.

We were rusted due to my trip planning and did not get to stay as long as we would have liked. When we visit the Lake George area again we hope to stay at the same VRBO and to try more of the restaurants in the area.
