Awesome breakfast and at lunch my huge hamburger was great!!
We found Dolly's by accident, prowling the 2-lane roads around Bristol and Blountville, and what a happy accident it was! This is a real, no-kidding independent diner. Without disrespecting a major chain that features "down home" cooking, I'll say there are no farm implements hanging from the ceiling, no crackling fireplace, and no bits of Americana on the walls, but Dolly's is the heart and soul of the diner experience - prices are ~ 1980 prices...

Barter Theatre, located in Abingdon, Virginia, opened on June 10, 1933 making it the nation's longest running professional theatre. In 1933, when the country was in the middle of The Great Depression, spare money for a theatre ticket was not easy to come by. Robert Porterfield, founder of the theatre, offered a unique solution to allow locals to attend shows. Rather than traditional money, patrons could pay for admission to the theatre by bartering food, livestock or other goods. For 40 cents, or the equivalent in bartered goods, anyone could see a show. In 1946, Barter Theatre was designated as the State Theatre of Virginia. 23 miles
