“Had a party of 12 today, Christmas eve, and we had a fabulous experience! Our server was Manana and she was great!“

“Golden Corral is my whole family's favorite restaurant. I only WISH I had one closer to where I live. It's a 2 hour drive [one way] but it used to be worth the drive. Unfortunately, after my spine surgery, the long drive isn't possible.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My family and I enjoyed a great lunch today! The food was delicious and the menu is large with many choices. My husband got the catfish and said it was delicious and the hush puppies were the best he has ever eaten! My son got a full rack of ribs and they fell off the bone! I had the smash burger and it was great, we can’t wait to go back and try the BBQ!“

“Excellent food and service. 10 out of 10 would recommend!“

“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!“

“Spent a week in Nashville. Ate at some great restaurants, even the very expensive Jack Daniels restaurant in Opryland hotel. This place topped them all. Very reasonably priced. Steak was the best I had all week. Wish I had found it earlier I. The week. A definite Re-Do nextime.“

“Your typical Mom and Pop 'greasy spoon' breakfast place. Food was great; & you could tell there were a lot of locals dining there by the way they were greeted upon entering or departing.
Service was super friendly and if you're looking for something non-pretentious, charming and yummy, give it a try!“

“We stopped here one evening we was traveling through town and was very hungry so we stopped to try this place out did not know much about it from the outside. It looked odd and old inside kind of felt the same way but the food was amazing The sweet tea was very sweet and cold and they give you these aluminum cups to drink it out of. That was awesome and I ordered the catfish And coleslaw, white beans and green beans and let me tell you that was some of the best coleslaw I have ever ate will highly recommend it check this place out if you are in Nashville“

“The food is incredible delicious!“

“Interesting place. Good food. Family styled all you can eat sides. Coleslaw and green beans are excellent. Great French fries, which are served with most entrees. The only item I would not recommend is the fried clams. They were extremely small and over breaded. Could not even taste the clams. Everything else is very good, if not outright excellent! Sides are served family-style and they're all you can eat. We've had both the catfish and the chicken, and they were both very good. Definitely a pleasant place to eat. The people are very friendly and work hard. I defineitely recommend!“

“How did I forget about this place??? AMAZING Fish sandwich(very fresh & huge) & Chicken on the stick(juicy). Their MILD HOTTER than Princes & Hattie Bs, definitely coming here more often. 😋🔥“

“Friendly staff, great food, clean restaurant. What more could you want? I love a place that feels like home.“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing“

“Best meat & 3. Service great, staff friendly. Only complaint using small plastic cup for 1 vegetable, when you order meat & 3 the container needs to be a bit bigger.“

“Great service and staff! I always love this place.“

“Cameron was absolutely wonderful during our visit to Chicken Salad Chick! He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, answered our questions with a smile, and made great recommendations that we loved. It’s not every day you come across someone who is so friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. His customer service made our experience so much better, and we’ll definitely be coming back thanks to him!“

“We love Cracket Barrel for its nostalgic charm! Every area in the restaurant tells a story. We love eating here wherever we go.“

“Everything. ifyou don't know about this place...you should. Best ribs, smoked chicken, fried chicken...I don't like greens....but I would eat these all day long. treat yourself.“

“I’ve been coming to this drive thru for years, and the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. Since the fish is cooked to order, it might take a few extra minutes but it’s well worth the wait. The service is friendly, and they really take pride in what they do. One of my favorite spots.“
