“The Best Around!! The Original OG!! Great Service, Great Food!! LOVE,PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE“

“I was in the Nashville location on 1/28 during my visit to the area. It was packed but everything moved quickly, efficiently and the staff was so very friendly to everyone. That didn’t stop just at the start but all throughout our time there. The lady helping us (her name was Isis, I believe) even followed back up with us on something. Her and the manager went above and beyond to take care of us on something we didn’t even ask them to. Btw, nothing happened, they were just out of something, it came back in and they took care of us. A measure most would not do but she found us and made sure to take care. Now THAT is friendly customer service! The food is so amazing, y’all. This is going to be my new joint for every single visit to Nashville from now on. Hot dayum!!“

“This restaurant is the true meaning of southern hospitality. Great food and their corn pudding is wonderful. It's truly a blessing to have such a wonderful place here in Nashville!“

“Amazing food, crew was friendly. Kinda wish I lived in Nashville so I could eat here more often.“

“We had to come to this institution of Southern Meat and 3 Restaurants. As a Chef, I always seek out the best places in the cities I travel to. They won a James Beard Award in 2009. Met the Owner, Rose, and her son, Cahill. They bought is dessert which was this awesome Bread Pudding and Peach Pie that was just incredible. This is a place that shows what True Southern Food and True Southern Hospitality are all about. Thank You“

“Each time we fly through Nashville, we stopped here to eat. The food is really good, and the service is top-notch. The manager, Maverick? I think, will be seen busing tables during busy times. The wait staff is always friendly. This time we had Tracy- a spunky gal with a great attitude. No matter what you order you can’t go wrong with a side of their queso. That wonderfully smooth hot cheese dip is good on everything. Also, most of the time we split when we go here- we get the double patty burger- it’s excellent!“

“Great ambience. Great service. Great food. Only issue was that our table of 4 would’ve loved to try the 2 orders of Cheddar Biscuits that we ordered with dinner but our server never put them in. Oh well. Otherwise great experience.“

“The best dining experience I’ve ever had. The chef’s choice was an awesome choice! Everything that came out was delicious. Our servers were wonderful especially our waitress who had us sign her Nancy Drew book. That added to the experience! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great place to take my family members and friends from Louisiana when in town visiting me since I have been living here for a while and I am retired from the hospitality industry.“

“I've never been here, but hope to soon, all bc I absolutely love watching Ricky Connelley play his music sets live on tiktok here! He's amazing and I can't wait to get to be in the crowd one day and enjoy some delicious food and drinks while listening to him! 🎶💕“

“We had their breakfast & IT WAS AMAZING. The pancakes were hands down the best I have ever had. The staff were so nice as well. We will be back!“

“Excellent food! Don't miss the catfish, meatloaf and sourdough rolls!“

“We just left there and was so impressed.The food was great ,service was great .We will definitely be back .I love the decor.A wonderful place to take the family.“

“This place was located in a very nice area near several other stores and places to explore. The line was around 20 minutes when we visited, but it was a good place to try a traditional Southern-style breakfast.

If you love biscuits and Southern food, I would recommend stopping by! One person in my group is a huge fan of Southern breakfasts and absolutely loved the biscuits and gravy.“

“This is probably one of the BEST brunch buffets I've ever had. Everything was FRESH, HOT and DELICIOUS. The selection was great and left me wanting more. The potatoes are a must and if you have room for dessert, the caramel bread pudding is HEAVENLY. Don't think twice about making your reservation - DO IT NOW!“

“Today was the first I’ve even heard about this. I was leary about it at first with the parking being terrible. But my wife really wanted to try it. So valet we went. The young man that parked my Jeep was so nice and professional. But back to the restaurant. I was 100% impressed with just a burger that we are looking forward to coming back and having a real dinner. Hands down worth the time and energy. Bartenders were great, servers were polite and who I think was a manager was very attentive. Thank you all for today.“

“Last night we had a wonderful dinner at Germantown Cafe!! We had an outstanding server, thank you Conner!! The Tenderloin Pork with the Mash potatoes and green beans was outstanding! Thank you guys for sharing the sauce recipe with me!! Tim & Kat :)“

“Good ambiance, good drinks and good food. Even better our waitress Stacy was awesome. I'd go back just to sit at her table and have drinks!“

“What a great experience! First, food was so good! The sauce on the wings was delicious and I can’t stop raving about the baked beans and BANANA PUDDING!!!! But to top it off, our waitress went above and beyond. She gave us perfect recommendations and offered for us to try the banana pudding on the house because it’s that good… she was not kidding! Then gave an extra serving of baked beans to go because I was raving about them so much! We will 100% be back (regularly)!!“

“We had a fantastic brunch at Liberty Common! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated brunch experience. Highly recommend Liberty Common for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience!“

“An incredible dining experience in Nashville with phenomenal food and top-notch hospitality.

The meal started off strong with the coffee, which was absolutely amazing. Food-wise, the omelette was top tier, perfectly prepared and full of flavor, and the potatoes were a really solid side to round out the plate.

The service throughout the visit was fantastic. A huge shoutout to Jack for being extremely helpful, attentive, and making sure we were well taken care of the entire time.

Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service. Highly recommend!“

“1/2 Rack, Mac and cheese, pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, cornbread- ALL UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!!! Oh and the bread pudding!!!“

“Even with a long line, the service was still great. The wait staff came out and gave us menus and gave timely updates. You order before you are seated so your food comes out in a timely manner. Everything was delicious shrimp and grits and biscuits were delicious.“

“Food was good. I think they forgot about our food. My whole table/friends were served and were done by the time my food came out. My husband's nachos were cold and cheese no longer melted but my flatbread was boiling lava hot. Flat was really good, but my husband was very disappointed by his Nacho's. My friend did not like his chicken sandwich, but all the other food no complaints. Tacos were good, and twinkie tots were a good way to end the night. Very loud and busy at night hard to hear people.“

“Had a great experience for our Team dinner while in Nashville for our Matco Tools Expo“

“Moderately upscale and intimate setting and a really nice overall vibe for a dinner out. Crab cake and duck breast were delicious. both were standouts for me. Plenty of alcoholic options to pair with your meal. Reasonable for the quality and overall experience. There’s paid parking available in the garage, which is convenient, and the restaurant is within walking distance of the Mall at Green Hills.“

“The music was very good and comfortable for a nice dinner! Steak and soup were amazing I would come back a hundred times if we get the chance to travel this way!!“

“Truly enjoyed the soul food here the meat and three delicious!!!“

“I've stopped twice at the Donelson, TN location now. Staff are nice, inside is very nice and clean, food is really good.“

“We loved it! Bison burger for the win! 3 visits to the restaurant in 3 days! Staff, and food are great! We highly recommend stopping in and giving it a try! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Came to Nashville on vacation. The food downtown wasn't doing it for my wife and I so we decided to venture out for breakfast. This place looks like it been here for a long time. The food was amazing, well priced with nice portions. You can't overlook this place. Locals came in and they were greeted with love and they already knew the order.
This is a place that you don't see anymore.
The French toast was the best I've had. I don't care for it either.
Must come, local or visitor.“

“This is a 10/10 restaurant! Very accessible on a Sunday night. The food quality is pristine. I enjoyed my my NY Strip. Carey was an awesome waitress! Very great on recommendations and provided caring service. This was the highlight of my Nashville trip!“

“We definitely enjoyed our stay! The roof top bar was amazing. I had the best experience with Tyson up there. He was so kind and knowledgeable.“

“NashHouse Saloon So Delicious. Julie & I Can Wait To Dance & Live Music. & Eat Too.“

“Thanks to Edleys on Woodland for their kindness today! My young neice accidentally left her small handbag on the bench, and we were over two hours away when she realized that she'd left it. I called the restaurant and offered to send payment for shipping if they would mail it. They plan on mailing it to her Monday...no charge, compliments of the restaurant! They didn't have to do that, but it is so appreciated, and our food and service were great too. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you Edleys BBQ!!“

“Executive Chef Jorge’s food is fantastic. He and his team are creative and fastidious in their execution. Executive Sous Chef Hil makes creative and delicious sauces. The hosts and servers in the front of house are talented and strive and attain excellent service. Joey made sure we had a wonderful time while eating delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant and the experience they offer to everyone.“

“Excellent food, wine and service. From our server to the guys working the kitchen, we had a blast and awesome meal at the pizza counter seats!!!“

“Loved the quick and attentive service from the time I walked in to when I was seated. The all day happy hour was perfect after a long week. My server Grant was super nice. The chicken tenders were fried to perfection and the red white and blue drink was the perfect combo. I wasn’t a fan of the Mac and cheese but have heard other locations may be worth a try so I won’t quite count it out. Street parking was easy to find but they also validate for 2 hours in the garage which is ideal. I would definitely come back to this location again and even hit them up after a weekend full of adventures. Glad they partnered with Yelp elite for me to experience this locations goodness.“

“Food and service were amazing! We will definitely be back! (Insert chef’s kiss)“

“Best catfish i’ve ever had and Al is very welcoming and proud of his business! We will be back for sure!!“

Documentary Web Several independent Adventist ministries announce that for the world Sunday law (Revelation 13:15-17) there is very little left, the prophecy of (Daniel 11:40) is being fulfilled, with the current Russia, China-Taiwan war; according to prophecy communism has to fall before the papacy rules the world in the United Nations (Revelation 17:18) as the world leader of peace and security (1 Thessalonians 5: 3) shortly after a great crisis in the world and Sunday is established as a solution to the climate crisis, a universal day to give rest to the earth, workers and families, however before these great changes, a great crisis has to occur, there are only a few months left for this to happen, please get out of Nashville.
