1.Grilled burritos! 2. Drive Thru available 3. 96 years in Business ( Very Cool) 4.They mix their own flavor foutain drinks. Before this last visit the only thing I had ever tried was a bacon or sausage egg cheese biscuit. This day I strolled in after talking to a very inviting & informative woman named Kim. I got a grilled burrito. I cant say the last time I was ever in a small town establishment and had a breakfast burrito (as common as they are) Grilled in front of me. There are a few things I believe sets this place apart and they are listed on top. The burrito itself was cheesy, descent sized and pretty fresh. Even though I jad jalapenos and some other toppings on mine what stood out was the sausage. Not only that it was in every bite but the flavor I suppose. There was no mistaken there was sausage in it for sure. Which was nice because when I order it Im in the mood for it.The mixed Cherry soda.. WOW first couple drinks and I was sure I was growing more hair on my chest.lol After a couple sips I tamed it a bit or it settled down but whatever the case it was a delightful treat with my breakfast. I was offered a place inside to it if I chose although I sat on the back of my truck and enjoyed the JC morning air. If youre lucky you might just run into an 83 year old man named Jack running on about politics or what not. This is the owner and has been for Decades. I believe his father started it or he bought it from him or so on. Either way go see em, step in, drive thru whatever Kim and them boys up there or anyone at The Shamrock Beverage & Tobacco shop and theyll take care of you!!! There was one other thing different about this place over 100 reveiws & almost 6 Million veiws and I have Never announced Im reviewing the place, so I did that this time. Being a regular at many of my local establishments I often know and speak with some of the owners and I dont even mention it to them or their employees. At least I hadnt yet..... Go see em.

Definitely not the shamrock that I was used to in the 80s. We went there for lunch today first time 20+ years I ordered two hotdog chili only. The bread was stale and toasted the Hot dogs was low quality and room temperature. I think they were just sitting in Warm water and a tablespoon of chili spread across the bun like it was mustard
The best place in Johnson City to buy a sandwich, a fresh squeezed lemonade and some cigars. You’ll likely have some good conversation while you’re there too!!
The food is a 5 star, great sandwiches. Best Ruben in the tricities. I dropped thier rating cause this prices online are drastically lower than what they are when you get there. Kind of a bait and switch, that needs fixed
Shamrock has a really cool and unique vibe to it. The primary draw is the cigar shop, but the main attraction is their food. Their Ruben’s are truly the best in town, and their biscuits are quite delicious (especially if you add tomato). They also have lemonade and an old fashioned ice cream bar. When you sum it all up, the Shamrock feels like a blast from the past and a good one at that.
