Where to start describing this place?…read more Hardware: do you remember that local hardware store that always had that one weird part you needed? This is that place. Plumbing, electrical, fasteners, fan belts, air filters, light bulbs, tools, small engine repair, keys, etc... Feed: farm and garden supplies, compost, feed, local produce, etc... Farmacy: homeopathic remedies, CBD, fresh local herbs and spices, teas, etc... They also have a fine selection of beer and wine, and a kitchen with wonderfully fresh, locally-sourced meats and produce - great burgers and fries, salads, mushrooms, onion rings, etc... (I hear pizza is coming;-) And since the owners are accomplished musicians, they put in a full stage with back line, lights and sound, a piano and a Hammond organ with Leslie. They have 2 or 3 musical acts a day. Come in for lunch, where most days Gene Dunlap (Faron Young, Loretta Lynn, et.al.) plays piano jazz and country, often accompanied by a patron who happens to play an instrument or sings. Around dinnertime, there is typically a jazz combo playing the great American songbook while you eat, or you can browse for hardware with a beer in your hand! Can't do that at Lowe's! Nightly entertainment is one or two acts playing all styles: blues, country, rock, pop, bluegrass, soul, R&B; everything from solo singer/songwriter to full bands with horns, and everything in between. Check their social media for the current lineup. Saturday afternoon is one of the most magical times - the Open Community Jam starts at noon and everyone is welcome to come participate - can't play an instrument? That's okay, come and sing your favorite song, backed up by some of Nashville's best. Oh, and they've converted the loading dock and back yard to a smoking and pet-friendly hang spot that doubles as an extra stage and performance space where they often have outdoor festivals and makers markets. Family-friendly, everyone-is-welcome, judgement-free community vibe. If you want a fancy, corporate, cookie-cutter hardware store or honky-tonk, this ain't it. If you prefer a down-home, out of the way, locally owned and run small business, try Joelton Hardware. This is my favorite place. It'll be yours, too. P.S. A few of the other reviews have mentioned that service can be slow at times. This is often because the owner and/or her kids are doing everything - cooking the food, waiting tables, selling hardware, and running the register. It will only get better as business builds and Kris can hire more people. Be patient and enjoy the vibe of the place. It is always worth it to your soul to slow down a little and escape the hustle and bustle.

I found out about Joelton Hardware through a friend. Nothing quite like a hardware store, with a…read morebar, kitchen, and a live music stage, right? This is so old school it is not funny. You walk in the store and there is a bar with a cash register. A few tables scattered down the middle with a stage on the far left side of the room. You see the kitchen window in the back, but there are also various items you can buy. Need a light bulb? Got it. Plumbing? Yep. Electrical? Sure. Fan belt? Why not. In short, a very unique atmosphere and worth coming at least once just to see it for yourself. When we got there, the band had just gotten up to play. The lead singer announced his drummer was unable to make it, so his son was stepping in. How was the band? They were okay. But this is just outside of Nashville, where you can find famous country artists singing in their local church and musicians that can pick up any song by listening to a short section on their phone. The kid was actually a good drummer. Band played a lot of oldies, and not country. I give them two thumbs up. Decent beer list for the standard domestic and craft beers you find at most places. I believe they rotate some of their handles, but did not confirm that. Food? Fairly standard for a small town place. Tenders were breaded in house. Not sure, but the fries appears to be hand cut, with skins on. If frozen, they did not destarch the fries, which would be unusual. The gyro is not on a spit (not surprising) so a bit less appealing, but the fresh produce was a nice touch after so many places having what is obviously sysco produce. I would rank this as a nice spot to grab a meal and listen to live music after a trail walk in either Beaman Park or Fontannel.

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I decided to go to Home Depot to check out Christmas tree…read more Despite it pouring rain outside, the employees of the garden center were dressed head to toe in yellow rain gear to help anyone needing assistance outside. After initially checking out the trees, my boyfriend and I opted to leave as we didn't want to purchase a tree without seeing how it looked untied. It appeared all the trees were already tied up for easy pick-up. As we walked to our car (in the pouring rain), one of the employees, Will, ran up behind us with an umbrella and continued to walk with us holding the umbrella over us so we didn't have to be rained on. He was not prompted. He was not under any direction. He just did it. We couldn't believe how kind of him that was. We began talking about how we wanted a tree, but opted not to because we wanted to be able to see what it looked like after being tied up. He goes, "Oh! Well, let me help you. I'd be happy to do that for you. Let's go back over to the trees." For the next 20 minutes, he generously assisted us in looking for the right tree, all the while giving us useful tips on how to treat the tree once at home. Upon purchase of the tree, two other guys helped tie the tree on top of our vehicle, again, in the pouring rain. They took their time, making sure everything was secure. When we were ready to leave, we offered a tip. They kindly declined saying that they don't accept tips!! We insisted, but they once kindly stated it was their pleasure to simply be of service to us. We couldn't believe it! These guys went over and beyond for us on a day that I'm sure they would have rather stayed home in their comfy houses outside of the cold and rain. Yet, they were working in the rain and were so generous and kind. THANK YOU Home Depot Madison! You guys have won our business for a lifetime.

I go to the nearby TruFit gym, so on occasion when I need something or don't, I swing in this Home Depot. This store is always clean and organized, and is in good shape. I have picked up everything from nuts/bolts, to tools, wood, paint and light fixtures here. The service here was decent. Was passed a few times on the floor without being acknowledged, but when I sought someone out they were good to help. Completed self-check and the Associate there wished us well as we left. Overall, while this Home Depot is standard and nothing special, it is a solid spot to swing through when the need or itch arises.
