Having come from Phoenix area, I was concerned about finding a place to go to for lunch or dinner. Junkyard Dog seemed unlikely to be that place just judging by the name. I went to a wedding reception there and thought they were kidding when they said the name. But, the food and service is stellar. Casual, beefy, American and delicious. We live now in Hohenwald TN. This is one of our favorite places to go. Go! Find the deliciousness. The staff like most of this town are exceptionally friendly. read more

Good food and service. Kind of a dive bar look but it was kitschy and clean. We had lunch one day and dinner on another while in the area. Lots of options for any taste and the price was right. Will be back in the area and Junkyard Dog will be our go to. read more

Really great food! Jeana was our server - friendly, helpful, aimed me towards the Honey BBQ Bacon Burger, which was delicious. read more

Nice drive with the Porsche Club. Probably 40 people in our group. Fast and efficient service. Super nice atmosphere and very friendly!! Started out with fried pickles. They were awesome!! Had the burger and cole slaw. Burger was cooked perfectly. Very tasty and the slaw was creamy. Clean bathrooms and just a really cool restaurant in a small town. We will be back.

Good food, good service....recommend the Cuban Sandwich for lunch with sweet potato fries!

There fries are AMAZING with the honey mustard it is great there bread is AWESOME theres somethings I don't like but it is AWESOME

The owner/chef has the manners of a Junkyard Dog so.... Yeah... I get the name now. Took my family because I heard the Filet Mignon was good. Which is great because that's the only cut of meat I care to eat and don't get to eat it much. Growl... they were out. It was 6pm on a Friday night. I order another steak. When our steaks arrived they were all well done even though no one ordered well done.... Growl. Snarl. We're not a family that causes issues so we said nothing to the waitress but upon exploration of my steak I noticed it was 80% fat and gristle. I tried my best to find some meat and two or three bites could be found. But when I tried to send it back I was told I'd already eaten 'most' of it. YAP RUFF SNARL BARK. GROWL. We were not, at the time, a family with a lot of money so going out and spending $100 on a dinner is very rare for us. To be told that I was going to pay for a plate full of fat hurt me and disappointed my wife and kids. Now he didn't come out and deliver this news himself! He sent a 16 year old girl. I asked for him but he wouldn't come. Now, I regret doing it, but in order to make up for being ripped off I didn't give our waitress a tip. I told her I was not upset with her but that the owner/chef had her tip and to go and get it from him. I heard later that she had! Good for her. As far as the Junkyard Dog? Bad dog! Bad bad dog! Perhaps one day I'll give it another try and see if the old dog has learned at least one new trick... integrity. read more

Went with my friend for lunch and we had burgers and fried. Pleasantly surprised! Great food, reasonable price and very good customer service. We will go back as soon as we are in Hohenwald again! read more

We had come into town while on a camping trip with our grandchildren and found ourselves looking around for a good local place to eat. We didn't want a fast food restaurant but a real family meal and we were not disappointed. The menu was full of great selections. Our server was really helpful and prompt. The memorabilia on the walls was fun to look at and the feel of the restaurant was enjoyable and friendly. Every worker was smiling and seemed to want to do their jobs and serve their customers. Plus the food was wonderful, cooked to order, and very tasty. We had, steaks, chicken tenders, gumbo, baked potatoes, baked beans, and more. We were well pleased and well fed. Whenever we come this way again we will make time to come back and tryout some more local delicacies. read more

Food was delicious & the dining area was unique. Good service! Well worth the visit!

The food and the service were awesome! I would definitely recommend if you are in the area. We had the fish sandwich and the Philly cheesesteak, both were great, as were the sweet potato fries. read more

We had wanted to eat at this steakhouse for a couple of years, so we loaded up with our neighbors and drove over an hour for a double date. There was a short wait and very few people wearing masks. The eclectic decor and warm environment was inviting. I ordered a steak which was cooked properly but sadly did not have the flavor expected from a steakhouse. My guess is they don't age their steaks. The killer plate of the night was the ribs our neighbor ordered. If I went back, that's what I would order. Good service, casual atmosphere and overall good dinner. read more

Always good food. Fun atmosphere, very good service. Really great steaks. Highly recommend!

Great service, awesome Food!!! Great atmosphere for a fine hand-cut steak dinner, with good selection of desserts.

I was in Hohenwald today and had lunch from Junkyard Dog Steakhouses. I apologize, I forgot to take a picture of my food. I had grilled shrimp (which were great) and a pork chop. Both were very good. The grilled mushrooms and black eyed peas were yummy too. The restaurant itself was pretty small but cozy and comfortable. Staff was nice and friendly. And food came out in a timely manner. I enjoyed my meal and will come back again when in the area. read more

I would have to say, James is the best server I have probably ever experienced in the state of Tennessee since I've lived here. This was the best service I've ever had at a restaurant since I worked in a restaurant. The food was amazing. I had the jalapeño burger with french fries. The service was quick. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was really awesome. I have already recommended this place to two people before I've even left my parking spot. Thank you. read more

We were just passing through town and asked at a gas station where to get the best hamburger. This was one of the best hamburgers I have ever had. The onion rings were not homemade but were very good. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We left almost 50 percent tip and well worth it. Restaurant and bathroom was very clean. Would go back tomorrow if I lived in Hohenwald read more

Excellent food for a reasonable price. Eclectic decor. Good service. The grilled chicken was tasty and tender.

Junkyard Dog Steakhouse - Jalapeño Burger & Onion Rings. Burger was perfectly prepared. Service was outstanding. - Steakhouses Near Me - Hohenwald, Tennessee

Hubby and I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday while we were in the area to visit nearby Amber Falls Winery and hang with our favorite band, Box of Rox. We arrived at Junkyard just before they opened at 11:00, so we sat on the bench outside. Promptly at 11:00, the door opened and we were invited in along with 2 other parties. We were seated quickly, and Emily, our waitress, arrived to take our drink orders. She returned quickly and asked if we had any questions. We both wanted to try one of their hand-patted burgers, so we didn't really have questions. I ordered a classic and was surprised when I was asked how I wanted it cooked. Well, all right then. Hubby ordered the honey bacon BBQ burger and fries. OH - I ordered onion rings. Y'all...these meals were simply delicious. The burgers were cooked exactly as ordered. Perfect. The onion rings were crisp, and the battered fries were tasty. We are already looking forward to our return. I'm ordering a steak next time. read more

The employees do their jobs well. Not overly nice. They have high turnover in the kitchen, so it is hard to tell how the food will come out. read more

OK. I need to preface this with the fact that my husband and I have traveled around the country, since my last visit here a year ago. I've been talking about the steak here ever since. This was the mark all other steaks had to hit. We FINALLY made it back (after 6000 miles)! And it was better than I remembered.... Ribeye steak was juicy, incredibly flavored, and perfectly done medium rare as requested. My husband really enjoyed the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. Lots of thick, crispy bacon and cheese on a big juicy patty. Our server Jordon was great! Ask for her! She recommended for me the sweet potato side with the brown sugar and toasted marshmallows. Holy cow! It was heavenly! You want GREAT southern cooking for a reasonable price? Hohenwald is the place to go! Seriously, cute little place. Told 'em we'd be back out next trip around, but I'm gonna shave 1000 miles off to get back here for another steak! Thank you again, Junkyard Dog Steakhouse! read more

Ver good food and usually a line to get in known for the steaks. Plenty of food. I wasn't particularly fond of the Hawaiian chicken.

Nice restaurant in a small town. It was a perfect destination for our weekend motorcycle ride. There were a few dozen other bikes pulling out when we hit there.... So I guess that says it all. We both grabbed the half rack of ribs - which was tasty and a great deal. Pretty nice menu and more things to try next time we're out by the Trace. It's soft drinks only... but not a problem if you're smart & out riding! Recommended! read more

We are in this tiny hamlet from time to time helping tend to some family gravesites in the area. I had seen a special on NPT's "Tennessee Crossroads" the featured Junkyard Dog (yes, I'm admitting out loud that I watch TN Crossroads... if my Dad could hear me now...) and wanted to give them a try. We did about a month ago, and it was good, just nothing I'd especially write home about. The decor is eclectic, but I swear it doesn't look like what I had remembered from the TV special. We had burgers and fries, which seemed to be the order of the day, and they again were good, just not great. I tried the sweet potato fries because another diner exiting as we came in said they were the best. They were fine, but no seasoning especially that I could detect, but nothing negative either other than that. Service was fine, the place was not crowded on our visit. It's a nice option when we're in town without our dog, that just doesn't happen very often, and that's fine, too. read more

Probably the best steakhouse in that area. Service and food both good. Good choice for a night out in Central TN.

This steakhouse came highly recommended to us. So glad we took our friends advice. I had the 10oz Sirloin with grilled onions, mushrooms a baked potato and a Caesar salad. My wife had a pulled pork dish with a side of broccoli and a Caesar salad. They brought some great warm bread to start out with. All in all an excellent experience. The staff were so friendly and patient. One of the owners stopped by our table to make sure we were happy. We had a very pleasant visit with her and quickly found common ground talking about our dogs. An extremely nice lady. We will for sure be back and highly recommend it. read more
