The menu is extensive. There is lots of comfort food and of course bar snacks/food. The dining is divided between a bar area with football, etc and a full blown dining room which is quieter. The Mac and cheese is very homemade tasting which is good. The catfish is large and very thick, not proto typical. I like the breading of the catfish but it was a bit too wet on the inside. Also the taste was fishy but this may appeal to some others. The shrimp were huge and super crunchy. Huge points here The staff was very nice and immediately greeted us. They were the cherry on the top. Great place for home style comfort food. There wasn't anything one thing that was super amazing but the food was good.

The service was great. The hostess, waitress and bus gal were friendly and attentive. The staff really made me feel welcome. The food was mediocre, but for a local bar food it was as expected. I give the food 4 stars and everything else 5 stars. The burger was good, but the meat to bun ratio was off. Again it was good but room for improvement. The pretzels with beer sauce were good too. The pretzels were a bit too crispy on the outside and not as chewy as I like on the inside. The cheese sauce was very flavorful but more velveta flavor than beer taste. I’ll definitely be going back. I had a great first experience. Like any restaurant there is room for improvement, but great local spot!

AMAZING brisket and the fluffiest and yummiest baked potato I've had in years. The grasshopper milkshake was to die for! Amazing service, great atmosphere, definitely recommend this if you're on the 17!

We are from out of town and decided to look around and see where we would like to eat and here I came across The Tennessee Grill; which was the best decision that I made for lunch. We were greeted immediately by Katie who happen to also be our server. Katie was very friendly and kind and welcomed us with a big beautiful smile, answered our questions as well as recommendation. I’m very grateful that we went with her recommendations , everything was so delicious. I would highly recommend sweet potato fries!!!If you’re hungry and want to be in a great environment with great servers, amazing food, and reasonable and decent prices for the quality of food you get this is the place to come.

We go every week for burger night. It’s our favorite place in town. Things I would recommend are the burgers (obviously,) the green chili soup, the wings, the chicken pot pie, and the tacos. The pizza and Mac and cheese are not the greatest, but good enough to keep the kids happy. My favorite drinks are the breakfast stout and frozen margaritas. The servers are always friendly and hard working. Sometimes they can get really busy, which means it may take longer for them to get to you. The atmosphere is not much, but they do play the sports games on multiple tvs and that keeps my husband happy. All is all, it’s a really nice, well run local business.

I've never had a chicken fried steak I could cut with a fork. Outstanding. Rivals Nebraska. I'll be back.

Very friendly staff! Bartender greeted us when we first walked in and promptly cleaned a table to accommodate our party of 8. Had the brisket eggs and hashbrowns that was good! Nice touch with the big mugs for coffee with good selection of flavored creamers. Shout out to Taylor who provided excellent friendly service!!!
