My server was a southern sweetheart and very helpful. The coconut cream pie was excellent and large enough to feed two. Food... not so great. I received cold pulled pork. Not even slightly warm. Mac & cheese was overcooked and rubbery cold. Toast and corn was the only thing really okay. I would not recommend it since the whole area is bombarded with better restaurants.Thank you for the review, we always appreciate our customers feedback. We are so terribly sorry that you did not have a great experience with us. It is our priority to give each of our guests a wonderful experience and we are so sorry that we let you down. On the other hand we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the coconut cream pie and received great service, but still would like to make this right, so please give me a call when you have a chance.-Chad, General Manager 931-372-7100

There's not too much to say about Chick-fil-A that you don't already know. You know what to expect when you place your order. The Saturday that we went, one of the employee's little boy was the greeter and he was so cute. Love Chick-fil-A!

The inside of the restaurant was very comfortable. I ordered a burger/fries and my husband ordered the filet/baked potato/side salad. We started with chips/guacamole. The guacamole was excellent as was the side salad. That's when it went south for me.I will never understand why a restaurant puts pepper on so many things. My burger and the fries were covered with pepper/seasoning (I've never had a burger come peppered). I sent it back and did not order another one because we had a limited amount of time to eat. Some people don't like pepper so they should automatically ask you (or mention on the menu that it's peppered/seasoned) if you want the extra pepper added on top and give you the option of not getting extra added. Thank goodness my husbands filet/potato were good so I could nibble on his meal.

Great prices!My husband and I stopped in here this morning and while this is no fancy place inside or out, it matters zero because the food is so incredibly amazing.Servers are friendly and attentive, your food is served fast, fresh, delicious and piping hot.The price is right and this is a do-not-miss location when traveling through this area. Only a few minutes off the highway and VERY worth it.

The service was excellent. Our server did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious. I like the rustic western theme, and that theme runs throughout the restaurant. The music was a bit too loud making it hard to carry on a conversation without asking our friends to repeat themselves. All in all, Longhorn is my favorite steakhouse.

This Cheddars is fairly similar to all the other ones Iâve visited. It has nice sized portions and everything tasted good. Some of my carrots were cold but other than that, no complaints. The server did a good job

The atmosphere is great. The food was delicious with some minor flaws. Service was somewhat slow for a Saturday. The pretzel appetizer was very tasty especially the mustard dip. Our steak sandwich was good except they forgot the fried peppers that were supposed to be on it.

9/12/2019 stopped here for lunch with friends. Due to high temperatures and humidity we chose to eat inside. Were seated immediately and Tyler (server) provided great service. Gluten free menu is available. Our friends recommended goat cheese appetizer with chips and chicken pesto. What a delight! Other orders: Steak medallions, chicken sandwich. I can't speak for the other dishes but I'm happy I took their recommendation seriously. My sides were fried green beans and grilled brussel sprouts with chicken pesto. Fantastic dish. Our server never missed a beat. My glass was never empty. Restrooms are very clean.

Five Guys and Fries, handcrafted burgers and fries since 1986.
Reviewed By Judy L
We've always enjoyed Five Guys at times when traveling so we were excited to be getting one in Cookeville. We were quickly reminded how expensive this chain is. The burgers were good, but average. For the price you can go to one of the nice restaurants nearby for a great burger and more comfortable seating.Thank you for your feedback.
