    The Frame Salad
    Kelsey B.

    Great spot for lunch! The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the food came out fast and fresh. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good midday meal!

    Went here for my sons 13th birthday and I'm so glad we did! The restaurant is spacious and clean. Service was great. The food was delicious! They give a decent amount and the flavors were flavoring! Definitely a must try! Will return for the Italian restaurant upstairs. Highly recommend. Prices were not too bad for the amount of food you get! Glad we gave this place a try!

    Ugh, I'm terrible. I can't remember the name of this menu item. Well, it was good, I can say that?!

    Love the aesthetic, love the location, and glad it gives people of Clarksville to go eat in the downtown area. Food was delicious, however I was shocked at the size of salmon...to the point where I mentioned it to the waitress as they brought it out. Like it was extremely small for a $19 menu item. The manager came out and I explained I genuinely was not asking for a replacement piece or anything, BUT he insisted on serving me another piece without charge. I was very thankful for that but will simply not buy that item next time I go. Joe's Garage, your desire to please the customer is commendable so I thank you for that.

    Love the feel and ambiance of this garage, metal and cars place. The classic cars in the front makes it better. The negative is that the parking lot is in then back oh there's a door to go in but you have to walk to the front of the restaurant. The menu is creatively named food with gear head titles. I love the Spark Plugs. The servers are hit or miss. Many times it seems like after you get your food they forget about you till it's time to pay the bill. Guess that could be a good thing too. Haven't gotten a bad meal though.

    While visiting my children I had time for lunch on my own. I met Cassie at the bar and checked out their amazing menu. I decided on the Bricken Patty Melt with dirt potatoes. I am so pleased with my choice! Tender, juicy and flavorful. Specialty cocktails, a wide and nice bourbon selection. Oh, BTW the house made Brake Dust seasoning is fantastic! The place is clean, classy and a must for a lunch or supper. They have other an Italian restaurant and roof top bar upstairs that I have been told are really good. Thank you Cassie for a great lunch.

    The frame salad.

    The frame salad. So much cucumber. Unripe avocados. Cold premade chicken. Wine served in a plastic cup that smelled bad. Salad was not topped with "crispies" as advertised. Excellent service however.

    Way overpriced & food is not good. This one may not be in business very long. I do not recommend it.

    I just picked up my to go order and the cashier just picked up my chicken with his hands, no gloves…read moreon and put it in a to go container! I asked him do you always pick up customers chicken with your hands and without gloves, he said "not all of the time". This is very unsanitary and I will not be returning!!!

    Summary: Fast food variations on chicken with sides of Southern comfort foods…read more An off night. That's what I think we had after reading the other reviews. Stopping here for supper, first there were the dark bathrooms that wouldn't light. Along with that electrical issue, an ear-splitting and head jarring smoke or other alarm went off every few minutes for about 15 minutes. Order taking was interrupted often when the counter employee shifted to incoming phone calls. That employee didn't know pulled chicken portion sizes in ounces and approximated with his hands. All of this created a dubious dining experience before we even finished ordering! This spot offers a variety of chicken recipes: roasted, BBQ, Caribbean, pulled, fried, and more. Sides includes Southern standards like mac and cheese, yellow rice, greens, coleslaw, and others. The pulled (shredded) chicken was overly seasoned with black pepper. Roasted chicken was a bit dry. The BBQ chicken laden with sweet sauce was the best of the chicken choices. Creamy coleslaw was 'meh' and lacked flavor. Rice, too, was just okay. Northern beans were nicely seasoned and well cooked. Pita triangles seemed an odd accompaniment since no sauce or dip was provided and they were too small to make sandwiches. Overall, the restaurant seemed understaffed, which could account for the messy tables and dirty floor.

    Absolutely delicious!! The food is so good. I've only ever been through the drive thru but it's…read morealways super fresh and yummy. I get the loaded baker with brisket. We always get a dozen cheese muffins and the kids LOVE them. The staff are always really friendly. Kamaurya was so sweet, she put a smile on our face this afternoon. We will absolutely be returning often and plan on taking family who are coming into town to visit. 10/10 highly recommend!

    Walked in early on a Sunday afternoon and we quickly greeted at the counter to place our order…read more Ease of order was super, the individual taking our order was friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. My gripe about the entry is that we weren't hit with the immediate aroma of a BBQ place...that's one of the best things about going out for BBQ, but oh well. We placed our order for one large Onion Ring starter, two brisket plate meals, a Not So Naked Tater, two fountain drinks, and a water...it came to about $75.00 so I was really looking forwrd to some good portions and tasty food. Those little cheesy cornbead appetizers came to the table first. I didn't eat any of them so I won't comment on them. They were quicly followed by the LARGE Onion Ring starter with 10 rings. That's not even a whole onion...they're making a killing on onion rings if they're back there slicing onions, battering them up and frying them in house. They tasted good, but the portion size was awful. Our food was not far behind...it arrived hot and looked delicious (which is a good thing, because it's the eyes that eat first). The Not So Naked Tater was jampacked with goodness and the person who ordered it said that it was very tasty and a nice sized tater. My brisket tasted really good. It was seasoned just right, but it had a hint of smoke flavor...not exactly what I was hoping it would be. It was clearly smoked, no doubt about that...but it didn't have as much smoke flavor as I was expecting. I was also a bit disappointed by the portion size. If my meal were a combo two-meat meal where brisket were one meat and maybe smoked sausage (which I found odd that they don't have on the menu), then the portion of brisket would have been suitable...but it was a single-meat meal with two sides. My sides of mac-n-cheese and corn on the cob were good...with the corn being the better of the two. Was also a bit disappointed that there was only ONE BBQ sauce offered at the table. I thought they offered a variety of sauces for sale at the counter, so why not showcase those same sauces at the table? I don't know...but it doesn't seem like good business to me. Overall, the service was fantastic, but frankly, I was disappointed considering the hype that surrounded this place when it came to Clarksville. Food was overpriced for the portions, likely won't go back.
