No one plans to get hungry in Rogersville, Tennessee. But sometimes—after a long drive through the Smokies, a detour off the interstate, or realizing your GPS led you 20 minutes out of the way—you find yourself craving real food in a small town. Unlike bigger cities, you can’t just hop neighborhoods here; you’re committed to whatever Main Street offers. But hey, at least it beats another fast-food drive-thru. Here are the 10 best restaurants in Rogersville, TN for 2026.
Big H BBQ
$ | (423) 293-3707 | WEBSITE
Big H BBQ is where you’ll find the best barbecue in Rogersville, probably because east Tennessee wants to impress all those barbecue lovers. When we’re passing through, our go-to is the BBQ grilled cheese with curly fries, or the fried green tomatoes with tender rib meat that falls off the bone, which come with a variety of tasty sauces. It’s also home to the best smoked meats in town.
Asian Cuisine
$ | (423) 500-1188 | WEBSITE
The Asian food scene in Rogersville is limited, but at least there’s Asian Cuisine. You won’t find this restaurant on any top-ten lists, but if you’re craving authentic hibachi-style cooking with standouts like Chicken Hibachi and beef and broccoli, your cravings will be satisfied.
Hardee’s
$ | (423) 272-5763 | WEBSITE
Hardee’s is the dependable outpost of Rogersville, offering the most straightforward dining situation in the entire town (the breakfast here serves a ‘candied bacon’ burger, for one). You’re not doing better than a hot ham and cheese sandwich, so embrace it. When life gives you dietary restrictions, eat carnivore.
Starbucks
$ | (423) 272-2745 | WEBSITE
This Rogersville outpost of Starbucks is one of the few spots in town where the specialty drinks don’t taste like they came from a vending machine. The flat white is expertly prepared, and you can order custom creations if you bring a recipe, which feels indulgent next to a standard coffee shop. The banana split and apple pie flavors are also solid, and everyone at the counter is exploring the seasonal menu with double chocolate mochas and twix frappuccinos.
Pizza Plus
$ | (423) 272-7171 | WEBSITE
The standout of Rogersville’s dining scene makes its home with ample parking and full accessibility, and your comfort is all the better for it. The classic pizza joint has a variety of solid pies and a particularly good spaghetti and meatballs. The staff’s kindness shines through, especially with assistant manager Patty going above and beyond when issues arise, though occasional order mistakes with specialty pizzas suggest they should pay closer attention to details.
Despite these hiccups, the friendly service and quality food keep customers coming back.
Peking Chinese Restaurant
$ | (423) 272-8278 | WEBSITE
Peking Chinese Restaurant offers a diverse buffet in Rogersville, but this is the best one if you’re looking for a quick meal. Despite what the name suggests, there’s a full spread of things like chicken on a stick, lo mein, and even cashew chicken available. The attentive staff ensures a comfortable dining experience with quick service, and the kid-friendly atmosphere makes it a solid choice for families.
You’ll find ample seating and wheelchair accessibility, plus desserts like doughnuts and mango jello to round things out.
60 Beans Coffee
$ | (423) 500-0214 | WEBSITE
The art of drinking coffee and watching the world go by was perfected at drive-thrus. Our favorite place to do it in Morristown is at 60 Beans Coffee. This reasonably priced coffee shop ($4 for a latte) is right off the main road and the perfect spot to prove that starting your day without caffeine is—quite literally—for the birds.
Little Caesars Pizza
$ | (423) 500-1021 | WEBSITE
Yes, this pizza chain has locations all over the country—and even one in Japan—but in a need-a-quick-bite pinch, their pizza puffs hit the spot (and are good for eating in the car). The palm-sized snacks are packed with cheesy goodness, plus savory sauce, pepperoni, and a slightly crispy crust. The friendly staff, especially one helpful woman and the welcoming manager with blonde hair and glasses, makes the experience even better with acts of kindness like a free 2-liter drink.
With convenient parking and wheelchair access, it’s a family-friendly spot where paying it forward is encouraged.
Hunt Brothers Pizza
$ | (423) 272-7037 | WEBSITE
You won’t find white tablecloths at this Hunt Brothers Pizza, but this unassuming spot is your top choice for pizza in Rogersville. The menu is simpler than a big chain’s offerings, but still features winners like the classic pepperoni, breakfast pizza, and that perfectly balanced cheese pie (a steal at $11.99 for a 12-inch, we know).
Taco Bell
$ | (423) 921-6009 | WEBSITE
Rogersville might have the best fast food in the state, but reliable options are few and far between. Head to Taco Bell for consistently good food that is served fresh, with great service from friendly staff. The food and service are great, making it a reliable option for a quick meal. Some customers have experienced minor issues with their orders, but the staff is apologetic and quick to fix any problems. Overall, Taco Bell is a great choice for fast food that lives up to expectations.
