About Swett's

Swett's is a welcoming cafeteria-style restaurant known for its delicious country cooking and friendly service. It is conveniently located with easy access and parking, making it a popular spot for meetings and events. The menu features a variety of soul food options, with highly recommended dishes such as roasted chicken, cornbread, and mac n cheese. The baked chicken and yams also receive positive feedback for their quality and flavor. Visitors often praise the down home cooking, with special mention of the fried catfish, which is considered the best ever. The restaurant has a diner-style feel, offering a cozy and authentic atmosphere. It is a clean and safe place, just five minutes from downtown Nashville, with a large parking lot. The staff is friendly, and the food is made fresh, often so good it might make your mama blush. Swett's is also a historic spot, with its Green Book listing displayed in a frame, adding a touch of history. Many recommend trying the greens and dessert, and note that it’s a better alternative to other local spots with canned vegetables or paper plates. Despite being black-owned, the restaurant has a noticeable absence of black employees, but this does not take away from the quality and warmth experienced there.
