The food was great the location was inviting but what my husband and I loved the most was Mz Alice, she welcomed us warmly, offered us water, offered to go tray she is what makes businesses thrive. When we are back in town if she’s there we’re coming. Her smile and personality was everything!!!!

We ordered dinner at 5:30 and we were eating by 5:35. This place is great, extremely fast and professional, I would stop by Central BBQ the next time I'm in the Nashville area for sure!

Ps your reusable cups are not only cool but a great move away from single use.
