Ray was the Weird Al of my generation (if unfamiliar, check out 'Ahab the Arab', 'Guitarzan', and…read moreif nothing else, 'The Streak'). We moved south many years ago, have been watching his old TV show for some time, and decided to see his show since we'd be in the area. Glad we did. He's 84, but still spry, funny and entertaining. His show consists of many of his old hits and comedic stories (my wife can't get the chicken story out of her head), accompanied by a small orchestra. Dinner is optional, consisting of baked chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, a great dinner roll and a non-alcoholic drink. Not great, but not bad either. I'd say it's worth it ($20 per). Service was very good and the ambience is your basic dinner club. He's a class act.

Our waitress was very attentive. Food arrived quickly and as ordered. We sat next to the stage. The sound wasn't overwhelming. Bathroom was very clean.

XGolf is a chain, and the owner of this location is very friendly, as are all the staff I met. It's not exactly cheap to play, but their rates are fair, all things considered. Simulators aren't cheap! There are many golf courses to choose from and once you get the hang of things, you'll be able to play a solo round in an hour. The simulators aren't perfect -- putting can be frustrating, but I think it's about as good as it gets with simulators. The food and beverage menu is not extensive, but what they have is good quality. Worth a visit for golf fanatics and those who enjoy a casual round.

They will supply a plastic cup, should you need one. However, you cannot bring in your mixers; they are sold by the bar at the cost of a mixed drink. You will not mistake this crowd for a Maker's Mark crowd, believe me. There were a lot of cute farm girls as well as older people. Pool tables and bar on one end of the building and the band playing and tables/chairs in the other end. The service was good. Beer is about half the cost of Nashville, which is good. The Rachel Johnson Band was playing and they were very good! I understand this is their first time here and I was glad to be there to see them. Oh yes, $5 cover because of the band. Pay attention to the tip jug when it goes around. There is a white one and a yellow (yella) one. I put a tip in the yellow one and found out it was for the waitresses. That sucked because I tip when I buy a drink!

We reserved this space on 6 June 2026 from 12-3. I even visited last month and talked to the bar manager about our event. I saw my name and phone number written in their book for today. When our caterer arrived at 12, no one was there to let her in. When we arrived soon after, there was still not a staff member there. No one answered the phone. When staff finally arrived at 3 and we called, the person had a list of terrible excuses. And even if any of his excuses were adequate, he had my name and number and could have called me so I could have time to reserve another space. What a terrible way to treat a deceased veteran and his family and friends. My husband and I have given YEARS to the VFW as officers and I'm beyond disappointed. Luckily, VFW 1291 offered us their space at the last minute and saved the day. The last thing any grieving family needs is to have to deal with this sort of thing when they're already going through so much. This VFW is poorly managed and does not care, nor support, Veterans and their families.

Tucked away in the basement of the Country Boy is a great little speakeasy with a really cool vibe. To get in, walk down the steps outside toward the back. Look for the unmarked door on your right, that's the entrance! Once inside, you'll find a cozy, laid-back bar with plenty of seating, including bar seats, high-tops, a booth, a couch, and even outdoor seating. The night we visited, someone was in the corner playing acoustic versions of classic rock songs. He wasn't loud or overpowering, just the right volume to enjoy the music and even quietly sing along. We had an Old Fashioned and a New Old Fashioned made with tequila. And one thing that immediately caught my attention was the clear ice in the drinks. That's always a big plus in my book! Service was excellent, and even on a Saturday night, it wasn't overly crowded. It was the perfect place to relax, enjoy a great cocktail, listen to some live music, and get the evening started before heading to our show. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out if you're in the Leiper's Fork area!

Attended an event here last weekend, and couldn't believe I was the first yelper to check in here…read more Go figure. love it when I'm suddenly on the cutting edge. A million years ago, Green's Grocery was really a grocery. Think old southern country store, complete with a front porch and wood with glass insert front door that I'm sure had a little school bell attached to the top. Years ago, at least 10 I can recall, the grocery went away, the community of Leiper's Fork became hip, and Green's Grocery became a private events venue, especially for live music. They didn't do BBQ like Puckett's that suddenly took off like crazy, and a just a little far from the rest of the hamlet to be featured in Southern Living or get a camera shot on American Pickers. You park out front, along the side, or in the overflow lot down the street a bit, and enter through the old front porch, open that original door, and now to your right is a permanent stage adorned with the original store sign, a deer head or two, some old musical instruments, and whatever décor accessory of the moment ended up stuck on the wall. (Yes, I would love to have taken photos for you. But we were at a work party for hubby, and he made me promise no phone photos for yelp, I was the meet and greet wife this time. OK.....) To your left is usually set up as a bar, and beers were chilling in an elevated old bathtub. Works for me. They have a more traditional bar alongside, that usually has elevated benches that mingle amongst the four tops and six tops with random ladder back and spindle type chairs. Think Cracker Barrel if it wasn't franchised. There's the former back porch for more seating just past the serious sound board station, make no mistake - this place is accustomed to live music. The event that we attended had a tent out back where the catering was set up (fairly large crowd) and if the weather had been better, we'd have taken up residence at the rocking chairs set up beside a cozy fire pit. Darn rain! Our event was catered externally I believe, so commenting merely on the venue (since that's what they are), it's a nice place. You definitely feel like you have left the city, whether your city is Franklin or Nashville, and it has a homey feel while also have that rustic country charm, too. They do things simply here. After everybody eats, the wait staff will pull out 3-4 tables and chairs onto the front porch to make room for a dance floor. Cowboy boots aren't required, but generally strongly encouraged. In short, it's a good thing in my book.

We had a really good experience at this AMC in Bellevue. We bought our tickets online. I was…read moresurprised to have paid less than what I'm used to at the AMCs in California. We also ordered our concessions to be ready when we arrive. Parking was super-easy and free in the large parking lot. We were nicely greeted as we walked in and directed to our theater. Our popcorn and drink cups were ready at the express pick-up shelf. I filled our sodas while the daughter buttered the popcorn. The lobby/concession area was well kept. The theater was super-clean. The a/c was perfect. The recliners seemed newer than other AMCs. They worked well and were very comfortable. We had no issues with the sound or picture quality. All this made for a perfect movie going experience in watching The Odyssey for 3 hours.

The core of the beer is still there, but the vibes and a few of the beers are a bit different. This taproom, near the corner of 51st and Centennial, is a small, but mighty space featuring a cozy and vibey inside and a nice patio. Both spaces are outfitted with a variety of seating from standard to cozy to bar stools and high tops. We have enjoyed drinks here on a few occasions since the rebrand and somehow the PB&J Mixtape always ends up in at least one of our hands! Majority of their beers lean fruit forward, but hey also have a few hoppy beers, and of course a couple of light and dark options. I go between something light and dark, and really enjoyed the Chop It Up, which is a house ale. Definitely will be my go-to here! In addition to all the goods on tap, they have a good variety of merch and canned beers that you can mix and match, or take a set of home. Service is solid, slightly hit and miss depending on the bartender. Some engage a bit more with you, especially if you are asking about the menu, others are a bit quick and want to keep things moving, which I can understand. The space is well laid out, but due its size, the front end can get backed up pretty easily as the ordering station is near the front of the bar, which is only a few feet from the entry door. So, be mindful when coming in. Even with lines, they move pretty quick, so never an issue beyond the initial back up. Overall, cool space, nice rebrand and a great spot for a good beer in The Nations!
