Eating a good meal is one of life’s simplest pleasures. It’s something that can be enjoyed from one state to the next, one city to the other, and across the dining room table. There’s a reason why the act of eating also serves as the act of bonding human beings, and here in the south we’re in love with the idea of our mealtimes making a mark. This tiny Bristol restaurant took memorable eating quite literally, and serves up something delicious in an atmosphere you won’t soon forget…
The team at Broad Street on State knows that they have a fantastic restaurant on hand, but do you? The old fashioned, customer oriented eatery boasts a retro vibe and fantastic period decor that makes it one of the most memorable eateries in the south.
Most folks don't know that Broad Street on State doubles as the oldest diner on State Street itself. Located in Bristol, this is the only 1950s diner-esque eatery in the tristate area.
