Bradley of grits, sausage, hash browns extra crispy, toast. Yum!

Great food and an amazing variety of choices on the menu. The cakes and pies are homemade and out of this world delicious. Friendly staff who make everyone feel welcome and at home. A "Cheers" feeling of being part of a community. It's our Saturday morning routine. Starts the weekend off with hot coffee and warm feelings.

a burger and chips

I stopped for the first time on a trip through Jackson. Didn't know what to expect because the building wasn't much to look at. The food (dressed burger and American fries) was delicious and service was excellent. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a good filling

Great breakfast. Had the bonwood special with three eggs hashbrowns sausage and biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious. Huge portions. The waitress gave great service. Even a juke box to listen to some classic tunes. My partner ordered the fried shrimp with fries and coleslaw and didn't like it at all.

Cheeseburgers, spicy fries, tots.

So i ordered. The guy was nice. As I looked around after ordering realized the team had not gotten their food yet, they were working on the order. No rush I was okay with it as long as I knew my food would be fresh. I had a wait but nothing ridiculous. My food was good and fries were hot. I would just like to commend the staff last night for acknowledging my wait time. They checked in with me several times to let me know they were working on my order, gave me a cup to get a drink I did not order and added extra fries in my bag. I just would like to say THANK YOU! Again to Cannon I think was the young man name and the other two guys working to get orders filled while still giving great customer service. Quality customer service is a big deal now days because it is so hard to get. Again I appreciate these young men. Job well done!

The restaurant has a nice outdoor patio that would be great for an afternoon meal or summertime dinner. Inside, the restaurant is spacious and has a separate bar area for adult fun. In the dining room, you also have a view of the pizza oven. We ordered garlic knots and cheese bread. The garlic knots were smothered in Parmesan cheese and came with marinara sauce. The cheese bread was deliciously made with the same sourdough bread as the pizza crust. It also came with three dipping sauces -- garlic olive oil, pesto, and marinara. The pizza was amazing with the sourdough base. We ordered a large pepperoni to share, a chicken Parmesan calzone, and a ribeye wrap. All three were so yummy and the portions were large enough for us to take leftovers with us. The service was prompt and friendly. When drinks ran out, they refilled them quickly. In total, we spent around $100 for the four of us, which is about average for a night out with full meals, appetizers, and a couple of beers. Would definitely come back the next time we drive through Jackson, TN.

They make a great tasting meal, aligned with the brand's standards. Atmosphere: Visited on a weekday lunch after a morning appointment in the area, arriving not long after their opening. It was not quite busy yet but it was clean and squared away. Booth was comfortable which is always a plus. Service quality: Staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive. Food was served promptly, but we were probably their 3rd ticket of the day, so one would hope that to be the case. Either way, great execution all around. Overall value: You get what you pay for at this RR. Their prices aren't the cheapest but the taste and experience is worth it, when a location does it right...will be back to this one.

Burgers were cooked superbly. The slab fries are always a good and the onion rings were crisp and tasty as they should be. The waiter was just back off of paternity leave and was hustling his butt off. They seemed to be short staffed as we had to wait 25 minutes to be seated to find half the dining room empty. Food was good and he did a great job covering multiple tables .looking forward to when folks decide to go back to work again so restaurants can have staff. With three colleges in town there should be plenty of workforce but I am guessing they opt not to work. What a shame.

She was friendly and gave good advice about the menu and explained the live music set up and timing when I asked about it. As I moved here a couple of days ago and I'm living out of a hotel until my belongings arrive on a moving truck, and I'm eating a lot of food out. I could say before this restaurant I was a little disappointed in the food I was trying at restaurants that had been rated five stars on yelp. For example, and it didn't happen at this restaurant, I had a Cobb salad the night before that relied on gobs of cheese to please, which shouldn't even be on a cob salad. But enough, groaning and moaning, and back to this restaurant. I love seafood, and I got the seafood appetizer platter. It was really good and I was quite satisfied. I started eating it and I thought now this is what I've been hoping for in a Jackson dining experience rated with high stars on yelp. I am looking forward to coming back to the restaurant and trying more of the items on the menu as there were many things that looked good.
