    Macaroni and Cheese
    Ron Y.

    First thing I had noticed was the clay pottery, beautiful, especially the coffee cup. I had the Blackened Carolina Trout, sampled fried Brussel spouts, BBQ Shrimp and macaroni and cheese. The food was delicious and service was excellent.

    Such a hidden gem in the heart of the country. The custom menu offers a perfect blend of something for everyone. Lots of history and right across from the original train car -perfect to let the kids play after a meal or relax in the atmosphere. The service was second to none!

    Perfect ambience inside!

    Everything was great! Our server was kind, she let us move to a window seat because it was a little chilly where we were sitting by the bar. The window seat was perfect! Next time we'll sit on the porch though because it had nice music playing and seemed a little more slow paced, which is more our style. The wedge salad was delicious and the baked Brie was out of this world! For a drink I had the changes in attitude and it was perfection! For our mains we had the ribeye and the nightly special. The ribeye was perfect. The night special was scallops and beef. The beef wasn't great. The cut just wasn't right. The scallops were the best I've ever had! We got dessert to go and the lemon cake with berries was dreamy. We will be back again soon! Perfect date night spot!

    Belgian Waffle

    I had a remarkably lovely Sunday brunch at Circa. My waffle was exactly as all waffles should be, with buttery slightly crispy edges and a pillow-y interior. My one qualm, however (which resulted in an entire point deduction), was the dish of artificial syrup served on the side. How a restaurant of Circa's caliber can live with itself and serve anything beside pure maple syrup truly confounds me! I could wax rhapsodic about this topic, but I must move on... The environment is one I would opt to enjoy all of my meals in if I could; soft natural light cascades in through large picture windows and wood furnishings give the place an inviting living-room feel. I sampled the dishes my family ordered (the Cinnamon Roll French Toast & the Eggs Benedict) and both were worthy of praise. We washed down our respective plates with perfect cups of French-pressed coffee. We contemplated sitting in our booth, blissfully full, and waiting for the dinner menus to be brought out, but decided we'd make another occasion out of it, instead. I cannot wait to return!

    Lamb pops
    Julie M.

    My favorite place for the occasional happy hour "dinner". The starters on the menu are all wonderful and large enough to pass for a light but delicious meal. I highly recommend the lamb pops (4 succulent and meaty chops) or the brisket-filled pasta shells, with a to-die-for marinara sauce. Grab a seat at the boisterous bar and get ready to enjoy!

    Popcorn Creme Brûlée
    Matt G.

    Great, relaxing environment and great food to match. I love the inside of this place, it's just simple and welcoming in the best way possible. The menu seems to be semi-rotational and seasonal, which some people love and some people don't. The burger with pork belly was the show-stopper. If you're a burger enthusiast, this is a must. The pork belly appetizer was also great, it's more of a "hash" with how small the pork belly is diced up and presented. I wish the pieces were a little bigger, it's hard to get everything in one bite. The appetizers were also great, unfortunately the desserts were just a few notches above average. Staff is friendly but hit or miss with attentiveness. All to be said, I will be back and if I had a relative or friend in town who was looking for a nice meal without fighting the tourists, I would take them here.

    My friend and I met here Sunday at 12 for Brunch. My first time there and she has been there a couple of times. It's much smaller in person then in the pictures but super cute. our waiter was kind and quirky, I think his name was Allen. We split a cinnamon roll for starters, it was delicious! I don't think I want to split one again if I go back LOL. We both had just the regular drip coffee and I got the traditional eggs benedict and my friend got the steak frites. I love eggs benedict, but my food was extra salty. Both the potatoes and the prosciutto were very salty. It was good overall and I know prosciutto is salty in general but this was like extra salty. I ate everything mostly and just left the prosciutto. I took off one star for that because maybe its just my taste buds. I would like to try them out a second time as they had lots of interesting dishes on the menu. And some pretty cool sounding cocktails.

    Ran across this place while roaming around. Cool little place. We visited for lunch on a Sunday, place was busy. Ordered a BLT and a burger. The burger was spot on, the BLT, well I'd pass on it. It had very little bacon,. Who puts a little piece of bacon on a Blt? Well this place did and for this I'd probably not come back. Maybe their dinners are better but I'd assume the portions are small based on how cheap they were with the bacon.

    Shrimp tamale
    John M.

    One of the worst dining experiences. We opted to sit at the bar; it was a busy night. We sat for 30 minutes, with no one asking us if we wanted to eat. The bar top in front of us was never cleaned, a waiter did come by, we tried to taste a couple of Sauvignon Blanca, but were told they don't do that (they have in the past), I stopped a waitress to get menus, the bartender said she was too busy to put the NFL game on the TV, or ask if wanted to eat. I finally complained to the owner, Robynne Napier, who told us if we didn't like it, to go. We did.

    Pork belly
    Jennifer B.

    My husband and I finally made it to Circa. We have been trying to go here for over a year and tonight didn't disappoint! We shared the pork belly appetizer and ordered a couple drinks. I ordered the lobster carbonara and my husband got the shrimp and grits! Both were great entrees and enough for me to take home. Circa use to be a general store that was converted into today's restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxing and our server was very knowledgeable and helpful with us making decisions!

I'm sending this directly to you instead of posting it online. In hopes to notify YOU of our experience so you can make any needed adjustments. EDIT: I TRIED TO EMAIL THE GENERAL MANAGER 3 TIMES TO PREVENT FROM POSTING THIS ONLINE BUT THE 3 EMAILS I FOUND DID NOT GO THROUGH AS THEY ARE NOT VALID!!! My family and I visited the Spring Hill, Tennessee location today 5/2, like multiple times in the past but this time was different. The hostess was not only rude but choose to tell my husband she had other things to do when he asked her about my daughter's cappuccino and his bloody mary (which we ordered when we were seated and our food arrived before the drinks). The expectation wasn't for her to perform a miracle but to notify the waitress. I understand wait times considering I've worked in restaurants and understand customer service considering I have spent my whole life working in it and currently still do. There was absolutely no excuses for her attitude or demenor considering the fact the waitress didn't once cheek on our table untill after I made a remark about missing meal items which I'm expected to pay for even if I didn't receive them. Not to mention, said waitress was standing next to the hostess behind our booth the whole time. Truthfully, I'm udderly disappointed I even paid $102 for sub par service because we could of had a better experience at McDonald's for a fraction of the price. I hope this helps you to know what's going on in one of your branches and to possibly prevent another family from having this type of experience! This really bothers me because my daughter and husband really enjoy BBB but after today's experience it's really hard to see me and my family returning to this location. Once again, I hope this helps you to increase the customer experience in this particular location. Best regards, Brittany S

No hacks, no substitutions, no overthinking it, just a quietly elite Southern breakfast move that feels like it deserves its own line on the menu. The foundation is what makes it work. The grits here are genuinely excellent, creamy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with intention. And it's not a small scoop either; the bowl is three side orders of grits. This is not a light breakfast situation. One practical note: they're thick enough that they show up without a spoon. Not a complaint, just a moment of "respect the density." Once you break the yolks, though, everything loosens up into that rich, cohesive, borderline dangerous comfort food zone. What stands out is how unbothered the kitchen is about it. It comes out clean, properly executed, no questions asked, as if this is just a completely normal, correct way to eat breakfast. Bottom line: simple, rooted in Southern tradition, and easily one of the best ways to experience Puckett's grits.

Located in a quieter, more bookish neighborhood, this was the perfect follow-up to a night of Broadway chaos during a work trip. Founded in the 1950s as a country grocery, Puckett's still has that warm, old-school ambience, but the food is absolutely fine-dining quality. The Sampler Platter is the way to go. Every appetizer was a hit. The shrimp and grits were creamy, savory, and perfectly executed. Relaxed, local, and genuinely excellent. Live music is limited to weekends and Third Thursdays at this location, which keeps the vibe calm and conversational.

It is a cute place with a walk up to order and the server brings it to your table. We started with a latte, which was smooth, rich, and the perfect way to kick off the morning. The star of the table right away though was the bonuts--Biscuit Love's famous fried biscuit dough bites. They were warm, fluffy, lightly crispy on the outside, and coated in sugar with a hint of lemon mascarpone for dipping. Basically little pillows of happiness. The mini biscuits & gravy were classic comfort food. The biscuits were soft and buttery, and the gravy was creamy and packed with savory sausage flavor. It's a smaller portion but still incredibly satisfying. And then there was the chronic bacon--thick cut, caramelized with brown sugar and black pepper. Sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy, it's the kind of bacon you keep thinking about long after the meal is over. Everything felt fresh, indulgent, and very "Nashville brunch." The menu is playful but still rooted in traditional Southern flavors. Definitely worth the stop if you're exploring the city and want a memorable breakfast.

You walk up to the register and order from an overhead menu board and they direct you to a table where they will bring out your food. This means that you do not have a server, just food runners. You can flag down a food runner if you need something. I ordered the SEC (sausage, egg, & cheese) biscuit and added a side of sausage gravy. The biscuit was flaky and tasty, but it was not like the old fashioned biscuits that I grew up with. I covered the biscuit with the gravy and it made for a good combo. My wife was not that hungry, so she ordered a kids waffle and bacon. She liked it and said it was just enough for her. We were talking to the table next to us and asked about the bonuts which were biscuit spheres covered in a lemon mascarpone and sitting in blueberry compote. The staff overheard and brought a small sample. They are worth going back for. The orange juice was great, but it would have been better if it was really cold. The restaurant was a corner storefront with lots of windows and an outside patio that would be great in warmer weather. Biscuit love is worth a stop.
