Best WLM Reviews

Our server was excellent! Everyone working there was friendly. Food came super fast and as soon as they sat the biscuits and gravy in front of me I knew they'd be delicious. Normally you go to a place like this for the kitschy atmosphere or because your mamaw and papaw told you about their trip there in 1981... but HERE you get that PLUS great service and food!
A friend of mine told me about this restaurant that served home cooked food so we went Friday evening I had the hamburger steak with fried onions and gravy on top it came with french fries which were a little greasy had two other sides coleslaw and boiled squash don't usually like boiled squash,but these were????, coleslaw was fantastic the restaurant is very old you can visualize that when you walked in by the paneling on the walls but that's why some clientele choose to not upgrade but to keep the regular clientele that probably feel comfortable with that atmosphere maybe you could think about upgrading the tables and paneling and honey maybe you would get more clientele? The waiter she was very nice down home kind of person that needed to be working there can't remember her name but she was very very busy Maybe the owner could give her a raise I would why I seen her working doing the work of two people anyhow I give it a five-star can anyone who wants some real good country food 407 53rd Avenue North Nashville PS I've seen the banana pudding and was wanting to get it but I was so full I was unable to do so maybe next time
My first time eating here, the food was great and taste like home cooking. The servers were amazing. Loved the vibe of this place very relaxed.
My favorite west side meat and 3 in Nashville. They have a table you can sit at to place Togo orders when you walk in on the left and they are super fast with it
The place is not much to look at, but these are the types of places I love finding. There was so much selection on the menu. It was semi pack we I arrived but I didn't have to wait. Can't wait to come back and try other entrees on the menu.
Five, all day five stars. When you measure a diner this should be the bar you compare it to. The servers are old school, the kitchen runs the wheel like an old Cadillac Rollin down the street, full house... meh, just another Sunday drive. This place is awesome.
I can wait to be back and it the Rolls ????! I eat a baked chicken with cheese macaroni and potatoes! I super recommend this places! The waitress was so nice!
Classic homestyle cooking. Plenty of things to choose from like burgers, fried chicken (strongly recommend) and Mac and cheese.
