    This local meat and three is nice to have available but the food is at best mediocre. Everything I have had here could stand to be seasoned better. Not sure I will be returning anytime soon.

    I can't believe I've waited so long to try Local Joe's! Stopped in for lunch today. The food was fresh & GOOD! The service was top notch, friendly and proactive. The place is clean. They even brought warm, out of the oven, chocolate chip cookies to our table for dessert. Well done! Chicken & dumplings, green bean casserole & baked apples for the win. Only problem is I went home and took a nap for a half hour instead of logging back into work.... It was that kind of satisfying

    Local joes is one of the last good meat and threes in MJ. I'm not from Tennessee originally but when I moved here the idea of a cafeteria being available in many different places was amazing (I may have gained 20 lbs my first few years cuz I can't say no to a meat and some sides!)! After the closure of Courtney's, Local Joes has been a good replacement. They have fun family events like balloon animals sometimes and even when it's busy they deal with it pretty well. It's somewhere I would be proud to take my family if they ever decided to come to Tennessee to visit! I'm giving 4/5 because their food consistency is not always 100. In my photo my food was lukewarm and kinda just OK, but I've definitely gone before and it's been some of the best food I've ever had. They also go around giving cookies sometimes and that home style touch is what MJ is all about!

    The catfish was DELICIOUS! Mashed potatoes and cabbage, too. Loved the homemade warm cookies. I would come back just for the catfish.

    Came here for the first time, food was delicious. Got the burnt ends appetizer, ribs, cobb salad…read moreand wings. Wings were very good, best ive had in Mount Juliet so far, burnt ends were good, we asked for no jalapeños but still got them anyways, had to pick them off since we arent fans of anything spicy. Ribs were tender and cobb salad was a great option minus the guacamole, its obvious its not made fresh and most likely from a jar i expected freshly made guacamole at a restaurant but still decent to eat. Drinks were really good! My boyfriend got the old fashioned and i had wine then a cocktail. Service was subpar, waitress didn't give refills on water and very passive instead of proactive. Will definitely come back to try it out again.

    I have to say, everything we've eaten at Barrel House has been absolutely amazing. My personal…read morefavorite is the curry chicken salad--it's truly divine and packed with flavor. The French fries are perfectly cooked and easily some of the best around. My son ordered a burger and loved it, and my friend had the chicken, which was also fantastic. I've had the strawberry salad there before as well, and it's fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. And don't skip dessert! The croissant pudding is incredibly good, and the bourbon brownie is rich and delicious--the perfect way to end the meal. Every time we go, the food is consistently great. If you're in Mount Juliet and looking for a place with amazing flavors and a menu that has something for everyone, this spot is definitely worth visiting.

    We had a large party, some birthday decorations, and an outside birthday cake. Jonathan's was very…read moreprofessional and willing to accommodate our celebration. They gave us our own little room and even helped hang the decorations. The food tasted great. My order was wrong, but the Spring salad was similar enough to the Our Signature salad that it didn't really matter. The menu is pretty extensive: appetizers of all kinds, salads, bowls, soups, burgers, wraps, pizza, even pan-fried Brussels sprouts! Service was decently fast for a party our size. One guest had to remind the waitstaff about his meal, but after that, it was brought out momentarily. Price is as to be expected at this type of restaurant, and we had a 20 percent gratuity automatically added due to our party size. Atmosphere was pleasant with great pop music. Staff happily honored our request to turn the TVs to the Atlanta Braves game.

    Visiting my daughter, I treated them to dinner and this place was within walking distance…read more We ordered cocktails and our food choices were: Spinach dip - underwhelming, lacked flavor. French Onion soup (cup) - the smallest cup of soup I have ever seen, but my daughter found it lacked the deep, rich, meaty flavor synonymous with French Onion soup and left half of it. Fish tacos - fish to tortilla ratio was on point. The fish tacos were well dressed and the cabbage add a nice crunch. This entree was 10x better than those starters. Bam Bam shrimp - had some crispy texture even though covered in the sauce. It was a solid dish and everyone finished it off. Sides- onion rings and fries. These were standard fare. Shrimp scampi flatbread - did not come out hot and quite flabby. We decided the kitchen was having a bad night. The cocktails were fine, so the bartender was having a better night. The service was quite slow but it was a busy night, so understandable as my daughter and I both worked as servers while in college. There is many parking opportunities here as this restaurant is surrounded by other retail stores and restaurants. I included the receipt in my pictures because I want you to know about the "hospitality fee". I find this disturbing practice is increasing. In my opinion, this practice is deceptive. It makes me believe the owners or corporate office is not paying their employees what they are worth. As a former waitress during my younger years, this will only make patrons reduce the waitresses tip if they are not bold enough to have it removed. I did not see this at the time we were finishing up as we were talking and just trying to get out of the restaurant. I did not see it listed on the menu either, although most restaurants that partake in this deception has it listed in very small print somewhere on the menu. I just avoid these restaurants in Vegas - but never thought Mt. Juliet restaurants would adapt such a practice. Lesson learned.

I'd heard great things about their Belcourt Ave location for years, so I decided to stop by for lunch and got lucky. I had the chance to meet one of the owners, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. He shared a bit about the restaurant's roots. It is Kurdistan/Turkish-owned, and they take pride in sharing their food with others. Parking out front can be a bit tricky, but there is plenty of space in the back. I tried their crunchy salad, which was fresh, filling, and nourishing. While browsing the menu, I couldn't help but start planning my next visit. The family feast is especially generous and perfect for a larger group of friends. And as the name suggests, chicken is the star here, so there is lots of fun wall art around. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and has plenty of seating options.
