“I went here during the ice storm to get to-go dinners for me and my wife. My wife is from Texas and loved their brisquit. I had half a smoked chicken. (Very good). The sides (mashed potatoes, green beans, mac and cheese) were very good. Not second- thought sides but like you would serve at home. My wife and I not into sweet cornbread but Jack's is just a tad sweet. We gobbled it up. We still have no power after 6 days. She requested Jack's for dinner tonight.“

“They say big things come in small packages. This is a little bitty place surrounded by a lot of other little places at the farmers market in Nashville the most juiciest tenderness, meat best barbecue sauce, macaroni and cheese green beans with lots of flavor best sweet tea. I’m so mad I have to go back to St. Louis and won’t be able to continue enjoying this every week. Thank you guys for one of the best lunches I’ve had so far this year.“

“Must be a good place when you see multiple police and fire department people eating there. I had the three main special and it was incredibly good. Best I've ever had. Mac and cheese was awesome. Big beans were terrific. Recommending them all the time to all my friends and people I know traveling through Nashville.“

“When i went to the smoke shack, i was in a darker place. My wife just left me for my neighbor, my kids left me for a different neighbor, and my dog was killed by a meteorite. I was devastated. And i was in a wheel chair after i was struck by the same meteorite that killed my dog in a separate incident. But that all changed when i stepped in the smoke shack. Once i opened the door, I could immediately walk again, my wife and kids came back to me, and my dog resurrected to join us. Thank you, smoke shack.“

“I would recommend this food service to all that I meet. I was pleasantly surprised. I receive big meaty fish pieces and generous portions of my side dishes. It was enough for me to make 2 meals out of my order. The beautiful lady was so nice, and we even wished each other a Happy Mother's Day. I came from Opry Mills Mall to Edd Temple Blvd and I'm happy I made the trip. I will be back.“

“We decided on our morning breakfast to try here! It was amazing and the atmosphere and service was amazing…. Amazing menu options and Jams and biscuits. The Bronut was a biscuit stuffed with cheesecake, Fried Green Tomato Wrap and Pimento Cheese and Bacon Omelet was just a few menu items of amazing unique meals. We started off with a Biscuit Basket and Bronut (biscuit stuffed with cream cheese filing and deep fried and smothered in a blueberry compote) many assorted jams from mild to spicy. The pepper jams and jelly’s were amazing and flavorful. My wife had a bacon egg and cheese biscuit with potatoes, my daughter had the Pimento Cheese and Bacon Omelette, our son had the Daniels Big Breakfast: and I had the bacon breakfast tacos…. All our meals were great and fulfilling. There potato’s and grits were extremely flavorful and perfect sides! I highly recommend and give this place 5 stars for service, quality and food~ Julia the Kitchen manager was amazing and very warm and welcoming! TK our server was extremely accommodating and helpful!“

“Gold standard of Brunswick Stew! I just wish it was a year-round thing.“

“I had a brisket burger with onions and was amazingly delicious! 🤤“

“Korean is my favorite cuisine. I was delighted to find this wonderful restaurant. It's in a small strip mall, the exterior is not inviting. Ambiance inside was very comfortable, very clean. Service was professional. One thing I use to judge ethnic restaurants is how many people of that ethnicity are there. Of the several tables occupied I was the only nonasian diner, so I assume authenticity. I had seafood soft tofu stew. It was delicious. Korean restaurants typically serve banchan side dishes, this served them, each was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to experience excellent Korean dining. I'll be back!“
