The Mustard Seed Cafe

So the food here is pretty great. Different than most places in Kingsport. However, the service is really difficult to move past. Took forever to get our order then I had to say excuse me FOUR times and then my husband finally was able to reach out and touch the waitress to get her to bring our check twenty minutes after we had sat there and our plates had been cleared away. We could have been in and out in 30 minutes but instead we were there over an hour. The people next to us had the same luck trying to get anyone's attention to bring their check as well. I'm surprised they haven't been victim of a dine and dash if this is how hard it is to get a check.
Good food. Horrible service. This has happened 3 separate times to me just this year. I wait several months until someone convinces me to try again.

Absolutley AMAZING food. Literally everything on their menu, especially the Cranberry Chicken Quiche! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience the completeness of a fully balanced, seriously delicious meal.

The Mustard Seed is absolutely phenomenal! I highly recommend the bacon-tomato-spinach quiche, the kitchen sink salad (it’s the only time I enjoy eating kale), and one of the gigantic slices of cake. Wash it all down with a glass of blackberry sweet tea and you’ve got one of my all time favorite meals. To top it all off, the staff are delightfully friendly and willing to accommodate whatever you might need. The Mustard Seed is truly a gem!

Service was fantastic. Very friendly southern ladies working hard. The coffee was excellent, but the club salad was exactly ho-hum.
The atmosphere is pleasant set in an older building with big plate glass windows.

One of our "go-to" places for lunch. Food is made to order, so you can't be in a hurry. Suggestion: Call ahead and order so it will be ready when you get there. Very quaint. Excellent food. Favorite: Tomato Pie, Salad with Strawberry Dressing, and a Strawberry Tea.
