    A great place to stop at in the mall for a sit down-style bite to eat. Our group came in before a grand ole opry show and the service was really great! There was some live jazz playing too at the other end of the restaurant. I got the margherita flatbread pizza with an old fashioned. It hit the spot after a busy day roaming around Nashville!

    Chicken Sandwich and Fries

    My daughter and I visited during our recent trip to Nashville. She enjoyed a flatbread and Caesar salad and I had the chicken sandwich. We also started with the steak and cheese egg rolls. Everything was tasty, but nothing truly stood out. The management was present and friendly, as well as the kitchen manager and server. It was nice to see a collaborative team. The restaurant is situated off the Food Court in Section 1 so it's definitely not a quiet dining experience. It features a nice bar area and there is some seating for groups. I highly recommended making reservations at any sit down restaurant in the mall too make your dining experience go smoothly with minimal wait time.

    I'm visiting Nashville and had dinner at AJs. The food was delicious! The shrimp Alfredo was very creamy and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. Most importantly the service is incredible. From the minute you walk in the door throughout your meal you are treated to wonderful customer service. Kat my server made me feel welcome and provided excellent service. They are lucky to have her.

    Almost hate to post to keep this off the radar but they deserve the recognition…read more Sat at a tall table in the bar area, immediate seating. Service was quick, great cocktail recommendations and deep dive into the specials of the day. Best choices on the specials menu. If you need a break from downtown and you're just outside the airport, this is a great option. Easy parking and friendly staff all around!!

    It didn't really do it for me I am afraid. It was just ok in my opinion…read more My friend says he comes here a lot when he is in town. He spoke very highly of the place. He compared it to Houston's. Take that how you will. Server was nice but not very attentive. She had this tunnel vision thing going on. I needed her two or three times, even raising my hand for her attention, but she just looked away or was looking at the floor. Inside is a bit dated, but serves the place well. Nothing bad, just older looking and kind of drab. We had beers for appetizers. My buddy had the seared Ahi Tuna dish. He complained it was overcooked. I agree it was cooked more than it should have been. Colorful though.... I had the Steak Frites. Man.... That was disappointing. I feel duped. Normally this dish is like a nice hangar steak with fresh cut fries and a fresh chimichuri sauce. What I got were overcooked steak nuggets, with cold, frozen out of a bag fries, and a glob of C sauce out of a bucket it seemed. I'll likely be drug back here by my friend. He likes it. I'll be nice and smile. *Note they charge you an extra 2% to cover the lack of appropriate wages in the kitchen. '26 - 83

The wife had this French dip sandwich that was soooo good, and I had the quiche. The quiche was great, but it wasn't the whole quiche it was only a little slice. I don't know if that's normal or if I've just not had enough quiches in my life. Either way, get the cheese grits. Them shits bang.

    Beautiful restaurant and bar area. I had attended a work shop here previously and saw the food…read morewhich looked very tasty. If you are looking for old school bar food then look no further. Let me say bottom line everything was fine, but nothing was show stopping. I went with my partner in crumbs who we like to split food and we were excited to order the jackson and the chicken chilies sandwich. I find it hard to believe this was the same Jackson experience that Guy Fieri had. It was tasty but the bread to topping/au jus ratio was an after thought and with limited toppings the sandwich seemed small. The server recommended the mac and cheese and it was good but felt like a ready made. The chicken sandwich again it was fine super thin chicken with limited toppings. I with this we got the broccoli salad it was yummy. Since it was my birthday we got a brownie...the parts that weren't rock hard were tasty.

    This place is such a hidden gem in the Donelson area! I've come here a handful of times and for…read morewhatever reason I am always in a bit of a rush, but when I want really delicious food that's all made from scratch with a variety of healthy and indulgent options, and perhaps a craft brew or two at a reasonable price, TennFold always hits the spot. Their specialty is craft beer and pizza, and they I typically go for both of those when here. On a recent visit for a quick dinner, I wanted something a bit lighter because I had to go play bowling after and tried a menu item that's always intrigued me: the blueberry chicken sandwich on their house made panuozzo bread. I expected this would be like a chicken salad but the waitress said it came hot and melty, and I was in the mood for a risk. And man did the risk pay off, this sandwich was one of my favorite things I've eaten all month! It comes hot and melty with a house made pesto, blueberry compote, fontina, and thin pieces of chicken, perfectly cooked. The panuozzo bread is almost as if you made naan out of pizza dough, and it keeps everything nicely contained without making the sandwich too bready. The flavors are unexpected but work so, SO well together - truly a work of genius. I paired it with their shake shake fries, which have an awesome seasoning (not spicy, just adds flavor) and a Diet Coke. Service was so kind and helpful, even on a busy Wednesday night. I was able to get in and out within 40 minutes, which was a win for the time crunch I was in but I still felt relaxed to eat my sandwich at my leisure. I love it the level of consistency in quality and service here after so many years - I truly always know I'm guaranteed to have a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere with helpful servers every time I come. Nice dedicated parking lot in back is just an added bonus to the overall experience here!
