Wonderful food Great service Nice atmosphere Lots of smiles Quick Good selection I would recommend them to the president read more

This place was great, they are busy, however, we got sat fairly quick. They cook your meal on the spot. So come with a bit of time. Food was great, service was prompted, and the ambience was busy. Had the western omelette, with coffee. And of course some pancakes. Yall come and enjoy some good breakfast. read more

When I am able to get there before they close, I am sooo glad I did!! Great food!! Busy... A bit pricey...but worth it!!

Small quaint place. "Hole-in-the-wall" feel- and delicious! Simple menu and cooked like it's from grandmas.

Great comfort food breakfast! Amazing local restaurant. Service was great by friendly employees.

Everything was delicious and seasoned well. Large portions of food at great prices. We had the French toast, country ham, and the full mess! The full mess was more than 2 people could eat. It had eggs, biscuits, sausages, and lots of hashbrowns covered with thick country gravy. The French toast came with powdered sugar, butter, and syrup but was great without needing the syrup. The country ham was shared at our table with plenty to go around and nothing but the bone left. They gave us bottled 20oz Dr Pepper's. Service was on point with multiple staff checking on us throughout our meal. Will definitely return. read more

This is the perfect breakfast place for someone who likes to avoid chain restaurants and experience small town friendly service. Cindy's is the kind of restaurant where the locals go to eat a hearty meal and spend a couple of hours chatting and drinking coffee. The eggs were perfect, the hash browns and bacon were crispy, and the coffee was often refilled. I'd love to stop in here again sometime. read more

Mediocre food at best. Ordered chicken strips, 2 small strips with no flavor. French fries blah

Great food! Local flavor. Friendly service! We were traveling in I40 and didn't want any chain restaurant food. This is a local treasure!

I had the breakfast special one egg special with sausage and a pancake co diner had a omelette omelette both of us had hash browns keep up the good work! read more

Good hometown place. All the locals were having breakfast. Standard eggs, meat, hash browns, biscuits. All good. Staff friendly

The food is incredible! We love how welcoming the staff is every time we go! You have got to try their green beans and chicken fried steak!

Service was good. Food wasn't. My omelette was paper thin with no flavor. Wouldn't recommend.

The food and service were amazing!!!! We will certainly be back next time we come to this area.

Great Breakfast! Service was very good, Ambiance of a small diner! Our waitress was attentive and the chef came by our table to check on our meal. Omelet ans French Toast were great. read more

Cindy's Cafe at first sight seems kind of small and simple, but packs a huge punch in "getting breakfast right"! From the exceptional service to the most amazing hash-browns in all of Dickson made just right without the burnt crispy excess of other establishments. Cindy does an amazing job with quality food and excellent service...at the most affordable price! See ya! Waffle House and See ya Cracker Barrel!!!! read more

I almost hesitate to write this review as this is place is the best kept local secret. Cindy's Cafe knows how to do Breakfast right and the service is always excellent! It always reminds me of my Grandma's house and how good breakfast was when she made it. We have never had a bad meal here in the many years we have been coming. Cindy's isn't always open but when it is you won't find a better breakfast within a 30 mile drive! Thank you Cindy for the great homegrown atmosphere and showing others how breakfast should done! read more

Everyone was really nice. I got the Country Boy breakfast plate. I don't recommend getting the grits. They either don't cook the grits with salt or don't use enough. Good grits need to be cooked with salt. You can't add it later. Everything else was great. I had a long drive so I also got a bologna, egg and cheese sandwich to go. Even eating it several hours later and cold by now, it was still good. read more

Perfect spot for lunch, just off I-40. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault! Had the catfish platter--delicious!!! Sat at counter--great service! read more

Outstanding quality, full country flavor, and very reasonable. My meat/3 cost me $9.25!! read more

Cindy's Cafe - American Near Me - Dickson, Tennessee

This is a really nice, friendly roadside country café in Dickson and definitely worth stopping in for breakfast! I tried a fried bologna and egg sandwich with a side of hash browns (with jalapeños in them) and everything was great! These were some of the better hash browns I've had in a long time! Coffee was great too and the staff was very friendly. Prices are very reasonable here too... Definitely stop in and give them a try! read more

Decided to randomly stop off the highway for fresh breakfast and I made one of the best decisions I've ever made. Delicious and fresh!

Quick friendly service, best breakfast I had in Tennessee during my last trip. Skip Cracker Barrel and come here instead.

Great service, great food, and good people. Stumbled on this little place looking for breakfast. Fantastic find.

Good home cooked food... Good luck getting a table though sweet staff!! Down to earth people!!!

Good food, good service and affordable. Great little hometown restaurant. Would definitely come again.

This hole in the wall is AWESOME! I spotted it after only driving by it like 20x lol. The service is quick, the staff is friendly and the prices are super reasonable! read more

Good people & good food at this local cafe. I ate the "Mess" & it's more than enough to fill one up. Casual atmosphere and conveniently located near I-40 exit 172. read more

Dropped in for a Friday lunch after leaving Beaman Ford. Cold outside but warm inside. Ordered water and milk from the hostess. Brittney, the waitress, soon arrived. Ordered hamburger steak with onion and mushrooms - along with a baked potato and turnip greens. Got the steak with turnip greens and white beans with two hush puppies. Quickly received my potato. Food was great but way mire than i could eat. The place was clean and the ambience was down home and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

As I have me ntioned in a few reviews, my wife and I like road trips. On our trips we very rarely stop at chains, franchises or fast food places. Driving from Chattanooga to Memphis on I-40 I asked my wife/co-pilot to find a place for lunch. She read off the usual, Waffle House, Cracker Barrel..."Cindy's Cafe." "We're going there." As we walked in I said to her, "this is exactly the place we want." The place was pretty crowded, with all locals on lunch breaks, who looked up at us and then went back to their conversations and meals. There was a long table in the middle that communal, people sat down with others they did not come with, and struck up conversations. The menu is pretty simple, the food is simple but excellently prepared. I got the meat (6 oz rib eye) and three sides. The food and the service define Southern hospitality. If you are on I-40, ignore the chains, stop at Cindy's. Try the pie for dessert. read more

Little mom and pop type of restaurant, serves breakfast like you would get at grandmas house. Best way to describe it. Their fried bologna is super thick cut and delicious, and the drinks are in massive cups. We've been several times and they've never disappointed. It's our go to breakfast place in Dickson. read more

Lil Patty was so polite and courteous. I'll be coming to this Cafe till the end of time.

I do a lot of traveling. Didn't want a chain breakfast this morning. Found Cindy's on Yelp and was nicely rewarded. Great staff. Great food. Great prices. By the clientele, this is a local favorite. Was greeted nicely by everyone in the place and breakfast was "home made"! May go back tomorrow before sales calls! read more

THis is actually a very decent "hole in the wall" type of mom and pop diner. The lunch choices are decent and the line was out the door for people waiting to get in. They should consider expanding or adding outdoor seating. We will return! great prices, tastes great, and quantity was really good. read more

Non-traditional Western Omelette (came with bacon and sausage but no ham). I was skeptical but tried it. It was absolutely delicious!

Small mom and pop's breakfast places are what makes small towns the best. Not a big place, but the food and prices are outstanding. The service was fantastic. You can see the woman cooking all the food on an open grill. The eggs and other ingredients are fresh and the ladies working in there know many patrons by name. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is my favorite breakfast place when they're open. My only day to go here is Saturday, so most Saturday's they are closed even though Google says they're open. I made the mistake of driving down Saturday morning only to find that they were closed, so now I call in the morning and if no one answers the phone then I know they're closed. Great breakfast, I just wish they were open more Saturday's. read more

Great place for the classic meat and three, wish I could have had the fish but that's only Fridays. The Carmel apple cheesecake was amazing!!! read more

Enjoyed the fried chicken and two vegetables. Quick service and would come back if traveling by again. Really enjoyed it

Food good and great service. It's exactly what it is, a country diner, a nice treat!
