Great experience. Bowwood is the real thing. Great food and wonderful friendly service. The cook, Ms. Bethlehem is amazing too.

I usually have a pretty good experience here. Went in for a takeout order, double order of home fries. Took some time to get cooked, but the thing that took me off guard was they charged me for two to-go platters and put everything in on to-go platter. Lesson learned, do not order take out. Always eat in. read more

I love Bonwood. They have the best breakfast in town. They don't always have chocolate meringue pie but when they do, it is so good on Mondays they have spaghetti that's one of my favorites too. If you go there ask for Brooke she'll make you smile, even if you're having a bad day. read more

Food was ok but was difficult to eat after going to the bathroom to wash my hands and the sink apparently had not been cleaned in a long time. Tried cleaning it after drying my hands it was so bad. I would have left if I hadn't already ordered and had my grandsons with me and didn't want to tell them. Made me wonder what the kitchen looked like. Waitress was very nice and accommodating. Wish I had checked for the health department rating before going inside. read more

Great food and an amazing variety of choices on the menu. The cakes and pies are homemade and out of this world delicious. Friendly staff who make everyone feel welcome and at home. A "Cheers" feeling of being part of a community. It's our Saturday morning routine. Starts the weekend off with hot coffee and warm feelings. read more

Bonwood Cafe-Bill's Diner - Bradley of grits, sausage, hash browns extra crispy, toast. Yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

The women's room was filthy. It was not ADA compliant. Because there were no grab bars near the tiny toilet, I was actually stranded there for ten minutes not being able to stand up due to my severe arthritis. I finally was able to use my cane to knock on the door across the room, which I had locked and tested since it's in the middle of the dining room, and my husband came to help and walked right into the restroom through the door with a BROKEN LOCK--making me visible to anyone who cared to look. The owner was full of excuses and was uninterested in my being trapped in her dirty restroom, or that the lock didn't work. read more

The country fried steak was like an orgasm in my mouth. I wish I could give this place 6 stars.

We loved this place! It was very reasonable cost wise, the food was good, and the service was great! As others have said, it doesn't look like much from the outside. We came because of the good reviews since we are new to this area. We'll definitely come back! read more

Great little diner. The service is good and the prices are cheap. Great place to meet for breakfast or dinner

Since there had not been any reviews for a year, I called to make sure this business was still open before we attempted to visit tomorrow evening. They are still open, but they now are only open daily from 6 AM to 2 PM. No more dinner. read more

First time eating here. Brittany was fabulous! Food was delicious. You get a lot for your money. Had breakfast, bacon crisp as I ordered. Husband raved about the biscuits and his country fried steak. Hash browns perfect. Can't wait to come back for lunch and then try dinner also. Felt at home. read more

So delicious and very reasonably priced! If you're traveling from Memphis to Nashville, it's worth the detour! We had eggs, bacon and biscuits & gravy. The biscuits are the best I've had in years. We also had a slice of German Chocolate cake since she told us it was made from scratch. The waitress was very kind! Don't let the exterior or decor fool you! It's old, but they're doing it right! read more

As. posted in previous reviews, don't judge by the outside. Looks like an old gas station. Without Yelp map, we'd have driven by. Inside isn't much better. In "Triple D", this would be the "Dive". BUT, the food is good and plentyful. Everything, including biscuits, were fresh made. read more

I stopped for the first time on a trip through Jackson. Didn't know what to expect because the building wasn't much to look at. The food (dressed burger and American fries) was delicious and service was excellent. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a good filling read more

Great breakfast. Had the bonwood special with three eggs hashbrowns sausage and biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious. Huge portions. The waitress gave great service. Even a juke box to listen to some classic tunes. My partner ordered the fried shrimp with fries and coleslaw and didn't like it at all. read more

Love this place! We stop here anytime we go to Jackson. Food is wonderful, huge portions, and service is exemplary. Very homey, everyone seems to know each other and those that need to seat are offered one by other diners. Even to strangers. read more

OK, it is not the cleanest. And it looks its age (It's what's left of a truck stop from the 1950's). We missed the daily lunch special and didn't want breakfast items, so we opted for the simple cheeseburger. Nothing fancy but it was good, served quickly, and was cheap. We had a nice chat with Bill, too. Check it out if you're adventurous. read more

Used Yelp to find breakfast while driving north. Food and service well worth the time to drive in from I-40.

I agree with Michael S; she ain't much to look at, but she's got it where it counts. Biscuits are fantastic. Bonwood special is definitely worth a try. Far exceeded my expectations. Blow past Waffle House and stop in here. Hit the spot after a weekend on the river. read more

I fricken love this little place. So good, so friendly and so simple. They are always very kind to my Momma.

Great place!! Food was delicious, and the server was charming. Great place to check out the Tennessee locals.

The tables are worn and it may not have been decorated in 15 years but even my teenager's loved the cheeseburgers. The atmosphere is a country down home feel. People are friendly and you can tell its the local meeting place for the older generation. Great place. read more

Hospitality was great! Owner, Lisa served us and we had the Bonwood Special! Hashbrowns better than the Waffle House, eggs were perfect with cheese in them and not on top and the bacon was done right. read more

Great biscuits! Hometown diner feel! The Bonwood Special is where it is at!! Lots of food for great price, good service and pies!! Would definitely go here over Waffle House any day! A little dirty and not much to look at as others have said but definitely has great food! read more

aint much to look at but, at 25 or 6 to 4 in the morning it was a welcome oasis. portions were generous, eggs were cooked right, sausage was delicious, hashbrowns were crispy and THE MEAL WAS PIPING HOT when served! biscuits and gravy were perfect, biscuits were baked perfectly, not semi raw inside. my only gripe is, no decent place to park an 18 wheeler. waffle house is about a half a mile away, this place buries it. i work in the area infrequently but in the wee hours when i finish up i'll eat breakfast there. did i mention they give you 3 eggs? read more

Most people don't like the typical regulars who come every day but I enjoyed it. And I felt very welcomed. There food is great!
