Our menu is filled with classic American dishes like steak, salmon, burgers, sandwiches and salads, as well as other traditional favorites like slow-roasted prime rib and our famous chicken tenders, all at a great value.

Special discounts for hotel guests and Ryan, a young man, dark hair is a FANTASTIC server... His portfolio to bring the bill has family pictures attached to it...(just so we get the right Ryan, in case there is more than one)..... He is kind, offers recommendations and treated the 3 of us better than good.... Food quality was A+

Breaking Bread is a cafeteria style soul food restaurant on the square in Smyrna. Parking is somewhat limited, but it is worth finding a spot and walking. Don't be discouraged if there is a line at the register - service is very fast and a lot of people get their meals to go, so there are usually tables available. I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread. All were excellent. I will definitely be back.

We were travelling to Indiana and saw a sign for Toot's and remembered it on the way back home and stopped in for lunch. I think we've found a new regular stop when we're travelling through. First, the prices can't be beat, especially considering the portion size. My wife and I both got Hot Buffalo Tenders and curly fries. The tenders were delicious, not too hot, but just enough of a kick. The curly fries were great as well. The portion size was huge and it only cost $4.99/plate, you can't beat it. My son had the corn dog bites kids meal with onion rings. I tried one of his onion rings and it was amazing. On top of the food, the service was great and I also love how kid friendly it is with several games to play while waiting for the food to come out. We definitely will be back on our next trip.

We ate here on a road trip and despite the Saturday brunch crowd the front of house staff made the wait tolerable and once seated our server was efficient, friendly and had the willingness to serve attitude so lacking in many chain restaurants. Our breakfast items were prepared to order and the cup of coffee to go an appreciated touch.

Good food and great service. A little pricey but not too bad. I had turkey sausage gravy and biscuits with 2 over medium eggs and home fries. Eggs cooked perfectly. Potatoes possibly the best Iâve eaten. Turkey gravy was different but good. Biscuits a little dry. My wife had waffle with bacon and eggs. She was very pleased. Not your typical southern breakfast but Iâll be coming again.

Decided to stop here for steak as an alternative to the abundance of turkey and ham consumed during Thanksgiving and numerous Christmas parties. Waitress was "new", but very attentive. Kinda pricey in my opinion, but overall the food was tasty and there was enough to take home a "go box" for another meal.

So, what makes a good family restaurant? Is it the food or the service or the kitchen staff or? The food was good. The service was good (under the circumstances...holiday weekend...wait staff out). The kitchen staff...good. The restaurant was busy...lots of families...kind of a zoo environment...too noisy. Overall...good. Prices are realistic. It's just good. Ah..well, that's it. Really...not bad. Sometimes you eat somewhere and you think..."wow". And sometimes it's just...ok. Such is the case here. Enjoy.

I always eat at Jim and Nicks when Iâm in the are. Always generous portions and friendly service. This visit, there wasnât a greeter. All the servers appeared rushed and stressed. (It was one hour before closing). I had the hot links, turkey and brisket. The hot links were great as always. But the turkey was really dry and the brisket was fatty. Iâm chalking it up to being close to closing and Iâll still come back. The collard greens and Mac and cheese was fantastic!

I found this to be an all around middle of the road dining experience. The food was fine but not particularly interesting or memorable. Small selection of beers. Prices were inexpensive, so the meal offered pretty good value.
