Comfort Food Restaurants near Arlington, TN

“We love Sling Shot Charlie’s! So DELICIOUS!! I had the catfish fillet, purple hull peas, and onion rings. The onion rings? Melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness! Purple hull peas? Just like my grandmother’s! Yummy! Catfish fillet? Perfection! Only thing I didn’t care for were the hush puppies. They just didn’t have any flavor. They were big and well cooked. Others in our group had the pork tenderloin and said it was tender, juicy, flavorful, and delicious. The Mac and cheese were very cheesy too. (My BIL and SIL loved them.)Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids and kid friendly menu items.“

“I've never in my 28 yrs of life ate my tortilla chips the way this place does theirs. Literally worth every minute I had to drive back to the hotel. This is in Oakland and the room is about 14 mins frm here!! It's so good it'll make you wanna slap your granny!“

“The experience and customer service was amazing! The workers was so helpful and accommodating! It’s nice elegant place to enjoy your food with soft music! Drinks and food is simply amazing. Must try. I will come again. It’s located by incredible pizza. I saw it on Facebook and so happy I gave them a try.“

“So it's been 7 years since my last review and this is still my favorite place to eat in Oakland. It's always fresh, always hot, always tasty!Here's what I'd recommend: XL Burrito, add cheese dip; Lamb Tacos; Carnitas Tacos; Street Rice; Street Corn; Tamales, add cheese sauce or salsa; Aqua Fresca to drink, the melon or pineapple are my favorites if pulp bothers you, get something else. My wife would add Volcano Tacos to this list. The staff is always nice and the restaurant is always clean. The price doesn't concern me as it's no more expensive than any other restaurant with this quality of food!“

“Visited the franchise location in downtown Austin, TX in November 2023 and the Marietta location in Georgia during the summer of 2023.After I read the story, I needed to visit the original location! As a culinary journalist, these are my favorite types of restaurants to document, I love a mom and pop generational establishment.It was a pleasure to meet the granddaughter of the original owners, Gus and Gertrude. She was pleasant and helpful in picking the perfect meal for our family.We went with the 8pc family meal - came with 2 breast, 2 wings. 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks with baked beans, cole slaw and fried green tomatoes.She forewarned us that the flavors are not the same as the franchise flavors. I was a bit scared as I highly enjoyed what I had in Austin. It was such a happy surprise that the chicken here was even better! The skin is much spicier, and the meat was just as juicy.The cole slaw was my favorite side, with the baked beans following and the fried green tomatoes coming in 3rd place.If you enjoy fried chicken, I would definitely recommend a stop at this tried and true TN state staple! Worth the drive and 20min + wait for this legendary chicken!“
