Locally Sourced Home Cooking

We commit ourselves to source our menu and market products locally. We showcase small businesses throughout Tennessee and do it deliciously! Everything we make is made fresh. Nothing comes out of a box or a bag. You'll feel like you are sitting down at a friend's house for a home-cooked meal. We can't wait for you to become a part of the Bristol Café and Market Family.

Families are Made Around the Dinner Table

Bristol Café and Market is committed to providing southern hospitality to each of our guests. The best relationships are cemented by sharing a conversation over a good, home-cooked meal. We learned that lesson from Mary Wright, the heart and soul of Bristol Café and Market, and we continue that tradition with every guest that walks into our restaurant. She opened our doors to share the love she had for cooking, togetherness, and human connection, and we carry that passion on in honor of her memory.

The Market

We offer take-home orders, gift baskets, and catering as well! We showcase products from small businesses throughout Tennessee and surrounding states. Check out some of what we offer on The Market page!

"Everything about this place is fantastic! It's cozy and inviting. The staff is friendly and helpful. The owners are very sweet and take a great interest in their customers. While we were there, quite a few people came in and out and they chatted with all of them, like they were old friends. The food, OMG! It's all delicious and creative. Sandwiches, soups, wraps, deviled eggs, sides are all made with a love of the art of creating yummy foods. There isn't another place like this around. I encourage everyone to enjoy a meal or 100 at BCM." - Bethany Z.
