“Just all around good . First time here . Awesome service too“

“One of my favorite locations! Natalie is amazing ! She’s always kind and professional. If you ever go to this location make sure tell her hi! ❤️ 10 out of 10!“

“Arrived unaware that they closed in 30 seconds. Not only did the young man helping us take our order with a smile, but he was helpful and made suggestions. They got our food to us quickly and it was fresh and hot. We only went through the drive thru so I am not sure how the inside was. The parking lot was clean and all the staff we interacted with were helpful and kind. No one made us feel like we were a burden showing up as late as we did.“

“At first I did not even know they were there and now I can’t stop thinking about them! There smoothie bowls are soo good and I always look forward to double punch Wednesday! The menu and the people are amazing as well as kind“

“Will be back“

“Fast,excellent service best burgers in town!“

“The food was absolutely amazing. The service was great. They were cheerful. The vibe was just very authentic. It was real, but it was not bad. It was the real that you get from going out on a walk We on a sunny day.. They seem like they enjoy their job and was not putting on a show. It was very real. Di“

“I Love Dairy Queen. And I have NEVER had a bad experience. Especially their Ice cream“

“Food was really good, staff was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was nice and quite but a few tables could of been cleaned up after they were used by other customers. I'm sure it was because we went there during/after the Sunday lunch rush and I'm sure they are understaffed just like many other food places in our area.. Overall, I give them a great 4 ⭐ which is an excellent rating in my opinion.

Parking: Lots of parking available.“

“I love their drink machine. So did the kids.“

“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.“

“Was super yummy and reasonably priced. Need one in California!!“

“Great service!! Food was very good. And the staff to be so new was very friendly and professional. Will be going back“

“This is honestly a really good Taco Bell! The food the last few years has always been hot juicy, honestly just perfect! They do not skimp on the portions! I hope they keep it up! Because let's be honest, some Taco bells you would think lose money on their checks for making sure the customer gets a decent portion!“

“Once a week I babysit, and no matter what food I prepare I just can't please these two kids. I started ordering 2 medium 1 toppings from Pizza Hut and it feeds me and both of them for under $20 and they love it. Well, me too. Almost every Sunday night, the crew on Neal St. knock it out of the park. I say almost every Sunday because sometimes I don't babysit til Tuesday Or Wednesday. In which case, they still nail it. This has been going on for like...6 months lol I don't know why I never left a review before. They all deserve huge props and bigger raises.“

“Always amazing and friendly ! I have celiac disease and have to eat the gluten free bread . They always make sure to wipe everything down so I don’t get sick and I appreciate that so much ! I drive 45 mins away just to come and it’s worth every second 💚 their subs are the best“

“Taco Bell on West JacksonSt, Cookeville- You rock! For the first time in a very long time, I got sour cream on my burrito and it was from the bottom to the top! I will drive across town to visit your store more often.
So tired of the other locations charging $1.00 for the add-on and maybe get 1 bite at the end with SC. Thank you for quality control!!“

“I have loved going to this Krystal for decades now. 😋 I am sad that the corn dogs aren’t crispy anymore like they were before the remodel. ☹️“

“The store manager Michael needs to be promoted immediately. The whole store is amazingly clean and I got a gigantic burrito! HEALTH INSPECTION definitely A+ here! His customer service skills are amazing and he talks to everyone great and even had a 3 minute conversation through the window.“

“Firehouse Subs are the best in my opinion. The meat.and ingredients mesh together so well. The bread is fresh. They give you generous amounts of fresh meat slices as well as the veggies. The sauce compliments the ingredients and brings out the flavor. Always a special treat when we are in town.“

“Loved everything about this place“

“The food is always great and we love going to the play room. Always clean and nice. I miss the old crew. accidently spilled a drink and cashier preceded to ask me why and declare that she doesnt get paid enough to clean up after me. Rude.“

“Went there on 1/29 and the fries were so salty we couldn't eat them. I love their fries, but you needed to rinse them with water to eat them.“
