“Aubrey's restaurant served some of the finest swordfish I have ever tasted, accompanied by a refreshing strawberry salad that perfectly complemented the meal. The overall atmosphere of the establishment was truly delightful, creating an inviting and enjoyable dining experience.

The waitress exemplified exceptional service; she was not only attentive but also very accommodating to my needs throughout the meal.

Furthermore, she was diligent in keeping my drink topped off, never allowing it to reach the bottom before filling it again. This level of care and consideration made me feel valued as a guest.

The cleanliness of the restaurant added to the overall positive impression. It was evident that the staff prioritized hygiene and maintenance, contributing to a welcoming environment. Their hospitality was apparent in every interaction, making my visit memorable and enjoyable. Overall, Aubrey's not only provided exquisite food but also fostered a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the dining experience truly exceptional.

“Need to change the hours on your page. We drove down after seeing you were open till 10pm on Saturday night and got here and a sign on the door saying you close at 8pm. Already closed.“

“I could eat here everyday for a month an never eat the same thing twice. Love the food!!“

“My order was Logan's wood grilled Chicken Parmesan Peppercorn sauce, on a bed of wild rice, with 2 sides. Chicken was fully cooked, very tender, minus a star because the rice was mostly hard crunchy and had few pieces that were fully cooked and soft. Kids steak tips were welldone perfectly and still tender. The kids cheeseburger was cooked welldone and still tender. Kids fries cooked perfectly. All food tasted freshly made, cooked as ordered, kids plates were not too hot for them to handle. Restaurant/restroom was clean. Service was excellent even though they were busy after the Christmas parade. Downfall - educate employees - young able-bodied employee should NOT be in the ONE handicap restroom on the phone. Grandmother with 3 & 4 year olds needed that stall; we patiently waited.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available. Kids coloring/activity paper and crayons provided. Highchairs available. Also, Steak tips are an option on the kids menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking available. Chairs can be removed from the table to accommodate wheelchairs.“

“I've been stopping by off and on for years. I love chicken gravy and biscuit breakfast. the staff is always friendly and courteous. prices have always been fair. I think it's about time to stopping again.“

“Our avocado toast was fantastic! Great coffee and relaxing atmosphere. Will come here again! Note: there’s no signage, but easy to find.“

“I love to eat, and my favorite spot is Jenkins Deli!!!!

Vegetarian options: Black bean patties, brussels sprouts, Broccoli with lemon butter, and salad

Parking: Enough to be able to seat over 150 people plus the big party room and patio. Alot of people drive separately, though.

Kid-friendliness: Jenkins has a working train that rides a rail across most of the restaurant. Also, they have a kid's menu and lots of seating away from the bar area

Wheelchair accessibility: I believe there's a couple bumps coming over the threshold, through the foyer, but that's it.“

“Wow, just wow. Came here after we got some coupons, just expecting a normal family dinner, and we were not disappointed. Our waitress was so kind, so much that when my son told me he wanted chicken and waffles, and just a few minutes later they brought out my son chicken and waffles. After we finished eating, our waitress brought us cheesecakes. This was a amazing experience and I thank the staff for giving us a experience we won’t forget.“

“Husband and I had lunch in Cleveland, TN. Food was great! Large portions and Preston was an excellent server!!! Thanks for taking such good care of us Preston!!“

“Absolutely an amazing restaurant! While traveling thru Cleveland, Tn we stopped by City Cafe. It was definitely a good choice! We had the sweetest waitress and the food was very good. The food was fresh, hot and lots of it. We had to get cake to go because we were too full to eat it after our meal.“

“Excellent Service and Great Food, one of my favorite restaurants!“

“We went to the 25th Street location while my dad played a show with a band, and we had been there the whole time, ordered food and everything. But after the guy took my drink order, he came up to our table and yelled at us saying we didn't pay to get in. We were told by the owner we didn't have to pay since we were with the band. we politely explained what we were told, But had said if we had to then we would, no problem. But instead of standing by what he said, the owner proceeded to YELL at Me saying if I was going to cause an issue then they'd ask us to leave. I felt so uneasy and pissed, because my fiance and I had been polite and everything the whole time. and the fact he was acting like he was only talking to me that way. when my fiance talked to him his tone changed. My stepmom was also with us, told my dad, and they haven't played at that location since. It was a NIGHTMARE.. plus from what I have heard from MULTIPLE people, they have let their waiter follow girls into restrooms and touch them inappropriately and just letting him go right back to work even AFTER the law was involved. This place needs to be investigated, shut down, or something! It is not safe..“

“This was some of the best pizza we have ever had! Living in Knoxville we visit Cleveland alot for baseball. We saw a recommendation on Facebook from a friend so decided to check it out! 10 ⭐️ !! Amazing!“

“Great burger, okra and onion rings. looking for something good and quick in route to Ohio. Stadium had both! The cheesecake egg roll tho... oh my. Two thumbs up!!“

“It's a little tough to get off of i-75. I will tell you it is absolutely worth the drive to find this place. The food was delicious! Anytime that I'm driving in that area I definitely am going to stop again. They had homemade desserts sitting right at the door as you walked in. The service was fabulous! The food was 10 times better than that. If you're wanting good home cooked food this is the place to go to. Feel like I was at my grandmother's.“

“Excellent food and service! Tiffany is great server and clearly loves her job“

“The manager at this location was very helpful and friendly when I spoke with him the day before Thanksgiving on the telephone. They actually answered the phone after 2 rings, AMAZING!I couldn’t even get anyone to answer in the Chattanooga store. This is why we are traveling to Cleveland, TN Honey Baked Ham location instead of buying our ham in Chattanooga where we actually live. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! God bless you and your family on this holiday.“

“The food was delicious! The service was amazing! Definitely recommend!“

“Me, my 2 sons and daughter in law, just tried 74 Wing spot for the first time, great comfortable atmosphere, the food was cooked perfectly, and served hot. We had burgers, phillycheesesteak, fries, mozzarella sticks, chili tots, and deep fried breaded mushrooms absolutely fantastic. This is our new go to spot!“

“My waitress was Bryleigh and she was absolutely the best thanks from the guy that was sitting alone.“

“I had a wonderful experience tonight. The food was delicious, and I received outstanding service from the waitress Emma. Emma was joyful, helpful in recommending menu choices, and was speedy and competent. Very satisfied with how efficient, kind and thoughtful she was. The place was clean, the food was yummy, and my drink was great, too. Will definitely be back.“

“This was the first time I had been at Waffle House in 25 years and it was absolutely fabulous! The working ladies took care of everything! The food was delicious and better than I remember (I always loved their hash browns!). I was not disappointed!“

“We had the BEST waitress MICAYLA she was Awesome. You need to give her a raise. She was very attentive and there when we needed anything. The food & drinks were yummy. Thanks Micayla for suggesting the best drink. Loved it! If you come ask for Micayla she is the BEST server. Thanks for a great evening.“

“Amazing experience this evening! Me and my wife were waiting on our food and the manager brought us out a slice of cheese cake for the delay. We didn’t even expect that and that was so generous. Brought the food to our table. And everything was so fresh!! Restaurant was very clean and quiet which we love!!“

“I never dine in here but I assume it would be the same. All of my orders are online/to go, and I am always blown away at how good the food and service is here. Everyone is nice, food never takes long, and it's always hot/fresh. It's WAY better than any of the fast food burger joints and may be cheaper. It is SO refreshing to eat somewhere like this and actually not regret it, as opposed to those other places. I don't know if all Steak and Shakes are this good, but whoever is running this location is doing a FANTASTIC job. As long as things stay like this they have my business for the foreseeable future.“

“Food is good. I've been avoiding this place because it gave me food poisoning a few months back right before they didn't have a very good health inspection. I decided to give it another shot because they have good service and the food is reasonably priced. They redeemed themselves.“

“terrible service from employees, this location absolutely need customer service classes. Tilapia wasn't seasoned and then the girl just tells me sorry I was the only person in drive thru . okay I want the Tilapia seasoned or I don't want it. Like that's what I pay for so the people ha e to just settle for whatever they want to give us instead of what we pay for. restaurant are just unbelievable anymore.Rating would be 0“

“Amber and Ashley are amazing bartenders! They have fun, quick, and relate to guests. They take care of customers great while remembering regulars drinks and usual food orders. I hope managers take care of them!

I was at lunch and came back for dinner. Great food presentation and prices.“

“great atmosphere n great food“
