Sometimes the most frustrating restaurant experiences aren't the terrible ones…read more They're the ones that are so close to being really good. That's how I felt about Mama's Chicken Kitchen. I came in with high expectations. The restaurant has strong reviews, it's part of the Johnson Family of restaurants, and I've enjoyed several of their other establishments over the years. So I walked in expecting a meal that would have me planning a return visit before I even paid the check. What I got instead was one of the strangest cases of missing seasoning I've encountered in quite some time. Let's start with the positives. The people here are genuinely nice. Friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Everyone we encountered was pleasant and seemed to care about providing a good experience. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and inviting. And the kitchen clearly knows how to cook food. The fried chicken was cooked beautifully. Crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside. Exactly the texture you're hoping for when you order Southern fried chicken. The problem? The seasoning apparently called in sick. This chicken had all the flavor intensity of a weather report. No noticeable salt. No spice. No personality. It tasted like the chef had just completed community service at a nursing home and was legally prohibited from possessing a salt shaker. My piece of chicken was juicy and cooked properly. Unfortunately, my wife's chicken breast was noticeably dry, which didn't help matters. Then came the fried pickles. No seasoning. Chicken and dumplings. No seasoning. Coleslaw. Tasteless. At one point I started wondering if there had been some sort of building-wide seasoning shortage that nobody had told us about. The frustrating part is that none of the food was poorly cooked. Quite the opposite. The techniques were there. The textures were there. The execution was there. It just felt like someone got everything ready and forgot the final, critical step of making the food taste like something. This is a restaurant with good people, a pleasant atmosphere, and a kitchen that clearly knows how to cook. Now they just need to introduce their food to salt, pepper, and a few of their seasoning friends. Three stars. Because the potential is absolutely there. The flavor just never showed up for work.

The pick up process was very easy and they were very nice. The dining room was full and people were waiting to be seated.

Okay so I haven't had KFC since Manchester, England years ago and I vowed never to eat THAT again…read more However here we are, Covid 2020, feeling slightly vulnerable not knowing what is safe to eat at and a long way from home. We are in Franklin a few times a year and found ourselves here at the last minute right in the middle of the Covid craziness. I know, you are thinking, "and you chose FAST FOOD"? Well yeah, and lemme tell ya why. I was starvin, and quite frankly, over the b.s. As I gingerly ordered thru the drive thru and pulled up to the window I saw that EVERY ONE had a mask on. That was super comforting. Take the food back to our cottage and as my husband chowed down on his Bojangles, I inhaled the familiar KFC chicken smell of goodness. I ordered the two piece chicken dinner with mash and a biscuit. Friggin delicious! Oh I enjoyed that. Every single solitary piece of chicken was tender and oh so seasoned right. Not greasy (like the crap I had back in England) but fried perfectly. Even the mash n gravy was good - you know I dipped my honey drenched chicken in them! Go try this KFC. The staff were super cheerful even during these crazy Covid times!

They flat out lied. Got home and was missing most of the order. Had 6 other customers in there at the same time as us that had issues or flat out left. One customer came in and asked for a leg and a thigh and the guy working said that they only had breasts, then a woman who was sitting in there eating, overheard that statement and got up from her table and said "You lied to me. You said you didn't have any breasts!" Getting harder and harder to find a restaurant that has decent staff. Called corporate because of the garbage service but corporate couldn't get in touch with the store because they wouldn't answer the phone. Corporate sent a coupon but I won't be using it at this store. Always makes you wonder when there is an issue what they are going to do to the food especially from the way this staff looked and acted. I know my past few reviews have been negative but I usually try my best to be patient. This is getting ridiculous though.

Kyle, our server, and Joe, the general manager, went completely above and beyond!!!! We started with the Caesar salad -- super crisp lettuce, a generous portion perfect for sharing for two, and it came with a crunchy baguette topped with a smoked trout cream cheese-style spread. Such a unique and delicious touch! We also tried the trout fingers from the kids' menu since we'd only had trout once before, and they were good. For entrées, I had the barbecue lion's mane mushroom with slaw, potatoes, and asparagus and wow, don't let my picture fool you, it was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the elk with grits, asparagus, and a rich demi-glace... and it was FANTASTIC. We almost never order dessert, but I'm so glad we did! The pecan pie (with a whipped cream cheese topping) was incredible -- not overly sweet like traditional versions, but perfectly layered and full of flavor. We loveddddd this place. Can't wait to come back!

This diner is located in a back street, next to a market and close enough to a strip mall with restaurants. It's a quiet place although lots of people come in and out. We sat down, got our coffee, ate our meals, and wondered if we could eat more. The food was so tasty that we really wanted to take more food with us. I had a chicken fried steak and my gf had an omelette. Every table around us was busy eating, we were not the only ones who appreciated this food. For a humble place with delicious food, the prices were average. The coffee could use a little help, as well as the A/C, but all in all, it was a win for us hungry bears.

There is no service and the ambiance is like that of a mall food court so it's big and lit in a way that makes you want to eat, get out, and go hit more of the slots. Yes, it's located at the Cherokee Casino! Out of all my experience with the Gordon Ramsay Food Market, the fish and chips was probably the best out of all of them. I tried the burgers and it was lackluster. I tried the tacos and they were abysmal. The only redeeming thing here is the Fish and Chips and even then, that's not saying much since I'm giving this a three star rating. So the fish and chip setup is simple. Served in a to go box with a layer of fries that lacked seasoning and a dusting of chives followed by 3 moderately sized fried fish loins. It's a white fish so there was some meatiness to it. The coating had a good crunch to it and each fish was seasoned nicely. It's like they almost seasoned the batter properly before frying the fish. Comes with lemons, your choice of tartar sauce plus any other one of your choosing. I chose the tartar sauce and the sriracha aioli Overall, the fish was decent. The fries were lackluster at best. The sauce definitely helped accentuate the fish but the sriracha aioli also made the fries taste better that's for sure. At $18 plus sales and resort tax... you could vy for another place

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5
