    The Country Cafe - restaurant interior
    Diane H.

    The Country Cafe is located on Murfreesboro Pike in Nashville. This place looks like it's been serving customers for at least 20+ years. The vibe is welcoming and homey. The Country Cafe serves breakfast and lunch. My dining companion and I arrived for breakfast. We were promptly greeted and advised to sit anywhere we wanted. There is both table and counter seating available. Our order was promptly taken, coffee arrived soon after. The service is swift. My dining companion ordered 2 eggs & sausage, which was accompanied with grits, and a biscuit. My dining companion raved about the grits. I ordered the 2 eggs & bacon entree, which was served with a warm biscuit, sausage gravy, and home fries. This is a generous meal and filled me for half a day! This is a smallish restaurant, but the staff are genial and welcoming. If we were in the area, we would surely return.

    This small hidden eatery has the best grilled cheese in Nashville. A must stop if you are in the area.

    I am sure that the homemade fluffy large biscuits are the best in Tennessee and maybe the US! I also know that their from scratch gravy tastes just like mine and it's the best I have EVER eaten in a restaurant!! This gem is worth driving to for the biscuits and gravy alone!!

    I was in the area and was looking for a diner and found this one in my search on yelp. Glad I stopped by. The place is a bit small but good spots usually are. I say myself and the server was asking me what I wanted to drink in a flash. I then ordered a cheeseburger and had a choice of side so I got the tots. Burger was really good with lettuce and tomato and the tots are always a plus. The food came out fast and they got free refills on drinks. Prices are very reasonable. Want to come back again and try some of the other items on the menu.

    Great little greasy spoon. Reminds me of my little no-stoplight hometown dinner in Eastern TN. Food was good and service was helpful and friendly. Nothing fancy here but it was a pleasant experience all around and I left here completely full. The biscuits were amazing and my favorite part of the breakfast!

    Came here before my flight from BNA. Quaint little dinner, big country vibes. Regulars shuffling through, and conversations in the background that are thoroughly entertaining. The sounds of the kitchen's pots and pans and the sizzle of the grill all make up the cozy atmosphere here. I wouldn't say go out of your way to make this a pit stop, but I haven't had a country fried steak with gravy in a long time and it sure hit the spot. This isn't some fine dining establishment like you see in NYC; what you see is exactly what you get and I loved it. Exactly what I needed and prices are reasonable here.

    3.5 Definitely a…read more"have to try" spot in Nashville. The vibe was amazing and it's perfect for a cute little date night. We started with the meatball skewers, which were great, and the sauce that came with them was perfection. I also have to mention the Cabernet, one of the best glasses of wine I've had in a while. The one drawback was the dinner menu felt a little limited on options. That said, what we got delivered. My fiancé had the strip steak, which was really good, and I got the pork, which was also amazing. Overall a really good experience. The 3.5 is mainly because we spent $250 and still left a little hungry. Other than that, a really cool place worth checking out.

I forget if it was independent…read moreresearch, Breanne in my ear about her trip to the Charleston location, or it just showing up on my feeds that put it on my radar first, but I've been telling myself this is a must-visit restaurant. I even had a chance to go before, when Toby and I had made plans in 2020 to come to the city. Obviously, we know what happened then. I think it was worth the wait. I loved their whole take on Southern cuisine. From the confit wings in Alabama white sauce to their Bucksnort trout, to their Heritage pork--everything tasted delightful. Admittedly, the bright green sauce and saturated Carolina gold rice looked a little funny to me. But once I had my first bite I thought it was heavenly. The server was impeccable. He was courteous, quick, and helpful. I had questions about the menu and concerns about if the arrangement of dishes ordered were too much. But he made the whole meal better with his suggestions and assurances. Even the other incidental staff were well-trained, filling the water and always assisting with the experience. The ambiance was picture-perfect. Obviously the place is permeated with charm and class in equal measure. It felt like we were eating in our well-off friend's home and had put together a spread of time-tested country favorites but with a twist. From the decor to the herb and vegetable garden outside, I felt super welcomed and comfortable. Yes, Husk was a success. I'm a changed man because of the experience. Sufficed to say I will be recommending it to even more people than before and will be waiting like a puppy at the window back home for the next opportunity to come back to Nashville and/or the other locations for my next meal.

They're known for their roast beef but there are so many things that most people want to try so they offer half portions of most of their proteins. The setup is cafeteria style, where you grab a tray and ask each server which item you want. I was completely lost, but the servers were really nice and helped us through the process. The food: 1/2 order of roast beef - this is what they're known for, so if you eat beef, order this one. Tender, very meaty, with tons of jus. Blackened salmon - I'm always skeptical of seafood in a cafeteria setting, but I had a bite of my friend's dish and this was perfectly cooked. Fried Chicken - crispy skin, tender meat, well seasoned. Turnip Greens - flavorful, not mushy Cornbread - solid Desserts - Chess Pie and Pecan Pie - sweet, but as expected. Pretty good Cauliflower hash - very cheesy, could pass for potato hashbrowns but a little drier. It was ok. Creamed corn - way too sweet for my preference Arnold's is a fun time. They paid homage to Masters of the Universe while we were there. The live action movie playing on one TV and the animated series playing on another. There's even a free arcade game emulator out in the front lobby. Arnold's approach to food is no frills. They crank out comfort food that is reminiscent of a home kitchen, in a good way - nothing crazy, just the classics.

We didn't realize they also bring complementary gluten-free cheese, puffs turnovers, and mini biscuits . Those were out of this world!! The cheese puffs pull apart and have white cheddar inside! The biscuits were perfect!! Our main course was the club carbonara pasta( house made pasta with chicken and bacon) and the steak frites (with chimichurri sauce). I got the Sauvignon Blanc it was fruity and fresh! The place was upscale and seemed to be a lot of larger parties. We will definitely be back.

We got the pork chop medium well bc we like our pork more cooked bc ain't no one trying to get salmonella from undercooked pork.
