We had lunch here after taking our daughter back to college. She was eager to take us because she has such fond memories of previous visits for both lunch and supper. The decor is very colorful and the walls are covered in fun artwork. The menu includes interesting salads, appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, plated dinners, grilled chicken dinners. They also... more

Tried this place out a few times and both times, all of us got sick from eating there. The place is dirty and the service is mediocre. Would never return. more

Decided to try this place out after seeing good reviews. Big mistake. The place looks run down; the food is not very good, and the service is mediocre. I can't really say anything good about it.. more

Cootie's strawberry pie is probably the most amazing dessert I have EVER eaten (I am a dessert lover and eaten them everywhere). The rest of the food is very good, not necessarily great, but very good. I would definitely suggest the Taco-Rito or Jamaican Jerk Chicken. The service has varied on visits. We have had some great waiters and some... more

From the funky decor to the great food, everything about Cootie Brown's is wonderful! They have an eclectic assortment of food, from pizza to burgers to tamales to sandwiches and the one thing you can count on is that it's all good. Everything I've ever gotten there has been amazing. The service is great and the decor is fun. There... more

This is one of those restaurants that everyone in my family loves (kids included, even my picky one). I love their gourmet pizzas - the Caribbean (spinach, jerk chicken, portabella mushrooms, pica-dillo, mmmm!) is my favorite. You can order a "half" pizza for $9 and it's still enough for my husband and me but we always get some of their... more

One of those places that stand out because they're not a chain, not the usual boring choices. Cootie's is defiantely a unique recycling of a former business spot, on one of Johnson City's main drags. Sitting out under the front canopy you get to enjoy the evening and people watch. Service is usually attentive, but can slow down when large... more

My wife and I enjoy eating out and out side we went last summer and it was pleasant. Nice food (if you are looking for a burger) and a relaxed laid back feel. more

This is my favorite restaurant of all time. The food is especially flavorful and a great variety. They also have a huge beer selection (although nothing on tap) Food is more on the savory side. Pizzas are 'different' with a wide range of toppings and very thin crusts. My personal favorite is the Caribbean on wheat crust. The Jamaican Jerk... more
