It's kind of like eating your grandmother's cooking, comfort food that isn't gourmet nor is it prepared by a chef. But it's just simple and satisfying. The mashed potatoes are good, smooth and creamy with an optional rich gravy. The fried chicken is pretty tough and the batter is chewy instead of crispy. But it had a few decent moments. The mac and cheese is subpar, similar to Kraft's infamous mac out of a box. But Patty's is very affordable and a charming little place. It's not a bad stop in Smithville.

Good atmosphere & great scenery. Best fried pickles I've ever been served…read more My group consisted of 3 couples (6 individuals total). Even when we rarely go out for boat days (usually in priest or old hickory) we avoid packed outdoor food venues, but it wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon here. No wait & plenty of outdoor seating with ample space between tables. One thing all of us mask wearers noticed was that the staff & servers were not masked at all, they didn't even have masks on them, & very few of the patrons coming & going had mask on either. Must be due to the geopolitical views of the people in the area. This concerned me & I kept my mask on the entire time except while eating since the staff were not masked & walking by closely and often. I won't let that factor into the review but it needs to be noted for others who look here for guidance. There were several drink specials & food specials made known to us by our server immediately & he was quick to fill our drink orders of mango habanero bloody marys & pontoon punch which are both highly recommend by our party. I ordered some fried pickles to split up & they are very different & exceptionally good. They are slivers of pickle spears fried in a manner that resembles fried green beans. Everybody raved about them & they were gone quickly. One order was almost enough to share for 4-5 people. Half of the party ordered club sandwiches & the other half ordered burgers & fish tacos. The fish tacos were stated to be better than Sams on old hickory & as good as some served on the Florida panhandle in PCB, Pensacola, Destin etc. the club sandwich was nothing to write home about, pretty basic & fairly bland. The Mac & cheese is well above average & could make the cut of the top 10 I've had in the middle Tennessee area. IMPORTANT NOTE. THEY CHARGE A 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. If I was on the lake I'd probably come back, I'd expect to see masks on the staff though.

She told us it was lost and asked if we still wanted it, told her we were ok but it was brought out anyway. Very disappointed in the high dollar appetizer and dining experience. Also, why don't the servers have sections instead of taking turns with customers....seems like it would be easier to give the servers sections instead of every 3rd or 4th table, which seems like it would be difficult to keep up with. Very disappointing and not worth the $$$ it costs!

If you have ever driven up or down I-24 in Middle Tennessee then there is a good chance that you…read morehave seen a few Toot's billboards! This Toot's, situated at the corner of NW Broad and Medical Center Parkway is the OG for the restaurant. While there are others, there is only one original Toot's! Folks ask how I would describe this Toot's location and every time I have them picture a local Hooters without the uniform mixed with a Cracker Barrel with a Panama City Beach vibe...While I could say many other things, that usually sums it up and is pretty spot on. Toot's is definitely a brand and is well known in the area, and quite popular as they have multiple locations around the 'boro. The brand has been built off of local vibes, cheap food and friendly service. While Toot's is a local institution, there really is nothing wildly special about what they offer. Most of their menu is standard from burgers, sandwiches, wings, seafood, salads, etc...and within that menu, most of those items are fried. So, if you are counting calories, Toot's is not the spot for you! They are famous for their fried pickles, so you know we started with an order. The pickles are lightly breaded, crispy and served with ranch dipping sauce. Again, nothing special...even from their specialty item. For our mains we both got a 15 count of wings, I went cajun dry rub and my pal went buffalo. The wings were the best part of the meal for sure. They were fried well, seasoned nicely, plump and juicy...all the things you want from a wing! For our sides, my buddy went fries and I went side caesar salad. His fries were standard, but done well. My salad was a bit odd, as it was legit a side salad including onions, boiled eggs, cucumber, etc...with caesar dressing. I guess I should have been more descriptive or inquisitive when I initially ordered it. Pricing was excellent, surprisingly affordable, especially for the service sizes! Service was good. Greeter was friendly and sat us quickly, and our server was friendly, engaging and efficient. No issues with service at all. I can see the allure for the local crowd. This can be a decent spot for a well priced and filling meal, and can even be a good place to belly up to the bar and watch some sports. While I would not go out of my way to visit Toot's, I definitely wouldn't say no on occasion as a local.

If you live in the Boro and you're hunting for a wing-and-beer spot, stop scrolling and head…read morestraight to the original location on NW Broad serving up goodness since 1985. This place has bar seating, high tops, booths... basically whatever level of wing commitment you're comfortable with. We grabbed seats at the bar, and the service was quick, friendly, and on point. To kick things off, my wife ordered a frosty Blue Moon with the classic orange slice. I went with water... mainly because I needed to stay focused for the wing mission ahead. First up: Fried Dill Pickles. These were absolutely fantastic, lightly battered, crispy, flavorful, and dangerously addictive. If you skip these, you're already making bad life choices. Now for the main event... the food! I used to be a die-hard bone-in wing guy, but Toot's Buffalo-Style Chicken Fingers may have converted me. I ordered 10 fingers, 5 Mango Habanero (because apparently I enjoy sweating while eating) and 5 Honey BBQ to cool my taste buds back down. Both were finger-lickin' good, and the side of tots sealed the deal. My wife ordered the Chicken Finger Salad because she thought she was making a healthy choice... until chicken fingers showed up on top. Nice try, babe. Bottom line: if you live in the Boro, or you're heading there for college, you need to try this place. We live in Franklin and gladly make the 30-minute drive for a Toot's road trip. That should tell you everything. Wings worth driving for? That's not a meal... that's a lifestyle.
