Soul Food Restaurants near Mount Juliet, TN

“Local joes is one of the last good meat and threes in MJ. I'm not from Tennessee originally but when I moved here the idea of a cafeteria being available in many different places was amazing (I may have gained 20 lbs my first few years cuz I can't say no to a meat and some sides!)! After the closure of Courtney's, Local Joes has been a good replacement. They have fun family events like balloon animals sometimes and even when it's busy they deal with it pretty well. It's somewhere I would be proud to take my family if they ever decided to come to Tennessee to visit! I'm giving 4/5 because their food consistency is not always 100. In my photo my food was lukewarm and kinda just OK, but I've definitely gone before and it's been some of the best food I've ever had. They also go around giving cookies sometimes and that home style touch is what MJ is all about!“

“Typically eat here 2-3 times a month..It's hit or miss on the flavors and freshness..Like last week ordered spiceyhoney garlic strips meal and for whatever reason there was little to no sauce or flavor on the strips...The fries however were so crispy and deliciously seasoned... 2 weeks prior the strips were deliciously sauced and the fries were soggy & cold and hardly seasoned...Consistency seems to be an issue I'm guessing...The potato salad is good too..“

“Omgoodness, let me tell you!! This place right here, this place, is the best meat and 3 I've ever eaten at period! I had the BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes w/gravy and macaroni/cheese with a slice of cheese pie! Oh my, so good! The only problem is I had to go back to work and I was ready for a nap! But damn guys if you're reading this you need to try this place!! You won't be disappointed!!!“
