This place may be a bit off the beaten path, but it is worth the 5 minute detour off I-24. Yes,…read moreit's a typical menu, but the food is delicious! The "from the grill" items are excellent. Try the molcajete for sure! Huge portions of steak, chicken, and shrimp in a hot stone bowl with hot salsa, grilled onions, bell peppers and shredded cheese. The service was great! The staff came by frequently and even stopped to chat with us about their restaurant and the family. They really seem to have pride in their restaurant. The place was clean and roomy. My friend and I were able to enjoy a great dinner and good talk without feeling like all the people around us could overhear our entire conversation. If you're on the road and need a rest stop, don't waste your time on a fast food joint. The service here was fast and it was nice to sit and enjoy an actual meal before gettng back on the road. And most people that are familiar with this portion of I-24 know that a stop at the top of Monteagle is usually a necessity! Give these people some business. You won't be sorry!

Confused by the three-star average because my grilled chicken chimichanga, and the server who…read morebrought it over, were great! The chips and salsa were seriously delicious and my Coke was really crispy. It's too bad this is all the way in Monteagle because I'd make regular stops here if it wasn't so far from Nashville.

Pictured: a great low-carb option; if you ignore all the warm chips I happily demolished! The grub was really good, not quite "foodie destination" but a 4.5, let's just call it a 5. Good stuff. Bonus points for the Mondrian-inspired building (painted in primary colors with black lines). The locals call it the Lego building. Enjoy!

Take the Pelham exit, turn left, and you'll find it just a couple of miles down the road on the left. The restaurant has a unique mom-and-pop atmosphere with country-style décor and a Mexican-inspired menu. While it's not traditional Mexican cuisine, they've done a pretty good job and offer tasty food at very reasonable prices. The service was friendly and genuine, especially from our waitress, Stephanie, who took great care of us. They also have ice cream and cold Cokes available for purchase, making it an easy place to grab a quick treat. The bathrooms were clean, and the whole experience was a fast, convenient stop with good food and welcoming people.

Awful! Just truly awful. We know many great Mexican restaurants throughout Central Tennessee, and…read morethis is definitely not one of them. From beginning to end, this was one of the worst. Firstly, they are not very friendly. Secondly, the chips and salsa... The chips have no flavor and the salsa was literally like tomato purée out of a can. Again, no flavor at all. Then they brought the margarita... Lordy, Lordy what on God's earth was that!? My partner took one sip and was never so thankful he had ordered a beer! Yet again... absolutely no flavor at all. Tasted like little more than blended ice. I actually wondered for a moment... Are they trying to save money? Or do they just not know how to make a margarita? What a shame, because this is a charming little town, and the other restaurants are quite nice. This place is simply a disgrace.
