“We go to Logan’s in Cookeville at least once if not twice a week. It is the only sit down restaurant that we can consistently go to & get the best service, best drinks (huge shoutout to Dylan the best bartender, always) & a excellent atmosphere before you get your delicious food that’s always prepared correctly & tastes delicious. Tonight was no exception, another wonderful Thursday date night. Thanks to the entire staff in the bar, essential our server who appeared to be waiting on a lot of tables but was a pro & every customer looked very happy. It was a great dinner, see you this weekend too I am sure💯💯💯“

Got a bacon wrap and the bacon was so crispy and also got a honey mustard chicken wrap and the chicken was crunchy enough and I dipped it in honey mustard and also I got a strawberry cheesecake shake with oreo added and my friend got a caramel fudge shake.

“Father Tom's is wonderful. The food is great (and arrives shockingly quick), they have several vegetation and vegan options clearly marked, and they always have a great, diverse selection of beers on tap. Tessa and the other servers I've had are attentive, kind, and welcoming. Many of the bar regulars and patrons are similarly friendly, and the atmosphere of the pub is pleasant. 10/10.“

“It was our pleasure to dine at the Cookeville, TN Red Lobster at 1410 Interstate Dr. on December 12. Although it was our first time, our guest at the table is a repeat customer. Our Server Denise did an excellent job of taking our order and delivering our food in a timely manner. Butch, Sheila, and Flo (Leaders and Manager) were beyond helpful to us. Justin, our guest, ordered his favorite meal, which included an entire lobster. My husband and I didn’t know how to break down a whole lobster so at that point, the manager came over, sat at our table and assisted in the process! In all my years, I have never seen such personalized service and kindness shown to a customer that really was in need of assistance. I highly recommend that you take your family to this restaurant and see for yourself the outstanding service offered by this crew of people! The kindness shown to us was beyond hospitality! It certainly was more like family! We wish you and all your staff a wonderful new year! Thank you again!“

“Fantastic food, fantastic service, it was great!“

“Best place ever to go ! We go there often and drive from east Tn to do it. We often go at Thanksgiving with family. Just wish there was a Golden Corral closer to Scott Co.“

“Wish we hadn’t been so distracted by the deliciousness of the Wild Wild West Shrimp platter because pictures go great with descriptions! Service with Alyssa was great- she kept conversations brief but did an excellent job and the food was OFF THE CHARTS amazing today. We ordered dessert but decided to send to another table as we were already feeling the pains of our gluttony.
Highly recommended!“

“Staff are Awesome. They are so friendly & make great food“

“First- we came at an odd time of day (like almost 3:15pm) food was hot and fresh. There was a younger boy working at the register and he was such a gem! Super friendly, respectful and kind. Checked on us several times and recommended things to us. He was really kind to my children as well. They have something called Texas twinkies and they were DELICIOUS! Jalepenos stuffed with cream cheese, shredded cheese, brisket and sauce. The swinder fries were hot and so yummy! Especially dipped in their Alabama white sauce. Fried chicken was hot and crispy! Mac and cheese was hot and extra cheesy! Noodles were a perfect Al dente. Kids menu was extremely affordable and so much food! If you haven’t been recently, you need give ride it a try again!!“

“Awesome barbecue!!! Loved picking up an entire meal for dinner and got my husband banana pudding for dessert.. can’t beat that! Everything was delicious.“

“I love this place! Always accommodated me and my friends! We love to watch the games here! Great atmosphere, staff, and food! The wings are great and so are their burgers! I’ve been coming here for years and have never been disappointed!“

“Awesome burgers at fair prices. Our local version is pretty rough, but this one lives up to the Steak 'n Shake name. We had to wait for a bit in the drive-thru line, but once we got the food we forgot all about that. Now that we know it's here, we will make it a regular stop when passing through.“

“Walked in hostess was just telling people to sit where they want that the bar was open, seemed kinda lazy instead of walking us to a table. We had returned to eat the Cheesesticks which we love the Nashville Hot and the Chipotle flavor. Fresh food, waiter checked in many times and got us everything we needed.“

“it was our first time eating there, the food was great, great atmosphere, great people. Shout out to Kayla, our waitress she was Awesome!!!“

“I was looking for a quick bite on my way home. After craving fish. Ordered. The two piece dinner with a beverage and a side. To my surprise the food came out immediately. Got my Dr Pepper fountain drink and plastic utensels. The place was clean and free of debri.lots of seating space. The table had paper towels on a rool. The fish was fairly large portions,average non greasy breading the fish was firm with no fishey odor. The side of coleslaw was also fresh with no old refrigerator smell. An added bonus was a hushpuppy and two small condiments of tarter sauce. The one thing they could do without was the left over fryer crunchy bits.under the fish.overall it was very tasty and filled me up for the ride home.“
