We both had bushwhackers at the suggestion of friends. Very tasty drink. The service was exceptional. Mike, our server, was great, as were the other people we dealt with. The next morning, before leaving on the next leg of our 4,000+ mile road trip, I couldn't find my wallet, which my wife had been carrying in her purse while we were out on a boat. The restaurant was closed on Monday but, after a little detective work we were able to get in touch with the owner, who called an employee who was going in that day to take care of some things. She opened the place up so we could look around. The wallet wasn't there, but man...they did us a huge favor, and we appreciate their kindness and help immensely. I can't say enough about the food, the service, the owner, and C, who opened the place for us. Top notch human beings and a top notch establishment. Our friends ended up finding my wallet in the end, and have FedExed it to our next destination in Louisiana.

Grandaddy's Original Hot Chicken - Nashville, TN…read more Grandaddy's is the kind of place that reminds you why Nashville hot chicken is such a phenomenon. I came here because of Yelp and the reviews that drew me in were absolutely right. From the start the hospitality stood out. Tim, the owner, came out to greet me, and I immediately noticed he was wearing a Lakers hat. I told him I was from LA and we connected right there. He showed me some things and we ended up having a quick back-and-forth about it. That kind of personal connection does not happen everywhere, and it gave the visit an even more genuine feel. Kim was working the counter and she carried the same warmth. She was kind, attentive, and went the extra mile by walking me through the menu item by item. That kind of care makes a difference because it shows she wants people to enjoy the food and get what fits them best. When a restaurant has staff who make you feel like you matter, it sets the stage for everything else. I went with the three chicken tenders along with fried corn and greens. The greens come cooked with pork, which I do not eat, so I could only sample a little. Even so, the flavor came through and they were well seasoned. The fried corn was something different and turned out to be a highlight on its own, sweet and savory with just the right texture. Now the chicken. This is where Grandaddy's shines. The tenders were incredibly tender, almost to the point where you wonder what magic they are working in the kitchen. In other words, they had good meat. The quality was impressive and every bite was juicy. What really put it over the top was the crispiness. The crust had that perfect crunch that holds its own bite after bite, not soggy or greasy, just clean and bold. That balance of texture and flavor is what hot chicken is supposed to be. I have had Nashville-style hot chicken in different places around the country, and there are some strong contenders out there. But after eating here I see why Nashville owns the name. There is a depth of flavor and execution that feels rooted here, and Grandaddy's delivers it in a way that makes you understand the hype. The price is right, the service feels genuine, and the food speaks clearly for itself. If you are visiting the city or even if you are local and want a new favorite spot, Grandaddy's Original Hot Chicken should be on your list.

We weren't really sure where to go for dinner and we kind of just stumbled upon this place. Truly it was such a wonderful experience! We were immediately greeted by friendly staff and were able to get a table very quickly and easily. Our waiter was so wonderful and helpful with answering all of our questions with recommendations on the menu. I don't remember his name, but shout out to him for being so great! We ended up ordering the Big "A" Burger and a Ribeye Steak Sandwich. While I am giving this place 5 stars because I will definitely be going back when I'm in the area, I will say that if I had to give any criticism it was that the food could've used a little more salt. Which honestly I'm not even mad about because it's way better for food to be under salted than over salted. You can always add more salt! Also the bread rolls with the cinnamon butter are so incredibly good! It was such a wonderful time!

Walked into the hot, dark, smelly restaurant and waited at the counter. Paid for my food. Couldn't in good faith eat the food without doing some digging. Found the reviews about roaches in food and food poisoning and wasn't shocked at all. Threw out the food immediately. Current health inspection is up to 94 from 83 which sounds good, but they still got dinged for roach sightings and other important cleanliness issues. I would be inclined to believe that they shaped up for inspection and went back to their old ways. Seriously avoid.

Last week I was in Goodlettsville for business and I saw China Cottage in the same center. It was lunchtime and I went in to see what was on the menu. I opted for this dish that was mainly bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, a few scallops and sliced beef in a brown sauce. While it was tasty, I thought it would not stand up against any of the Asian cuisine I was used to eating in the San Gabriel Valley. I would return because it outshines any of the Chinese fare I have eaten in the White House area. I truly enjoyed my meal; it is just hard to measure up against where I came from.

I have a few go-to Chinese spots around town, but was in the immediate area recently and wanted to scoop dinner up, so I made a call to China Cottage and about 20 minutes later I had to goods. I ordered the classics of sesame chicken, house fried rice, wonton soup and an egg roll. All were tasty, not the best, but certainly far from the worst. Portion size is huge here, I mean they pack the containers to the brim. Food was also clearly cooked to order as it was still piping hot when I got it home and opened. Space inside is decorated as you would expect. They have a good size dining room with booths and tables, and even have a few seats at a small bar near the entry way. The place was clean, and well kept. Service was friendly and helpful from the phone to pick up. Overall, solid experience at China Cottage. Definitely worth adding to the rotation.

The last time I had the chicken gnocchi soup. It was really tasty and creamy and delicious but it was not good today. I had to put salt and pepper and it didn't have the smooth creaminess. I also ordered the chicken and shrimp carbonara. It didn't have any flavor. The chicken was browned and the shrimp was not. It tasted like olive oil, which I like olive oil, but if I'm getting carbonara and it said it has some lemon and it should have some cheese, it should taste like something besides just olive oil. We were really disappointed in what we got in there today. Service was great. Our waitress was constantly checking on us and refilling drinks. The food was just not all that today.

But when I got dinner here earlier, I thought the service was good (although it was slow), the food was really fresh and tasty, and our large order with 4 different meals was almost correct (with a pretty minor mistake). My family was going to use the online order for pick up but I ended up just going through the drive thru. The line of 4 or 5 cars in front of me went pretty slow, and then add on my order of 4 different meals with a few extra things added on and I made the line even slower. I was told to pull into a parking spot nearby and wait on my food by the time I got to the window, and that was around 6:15. It was another 15 minutes or so before my food was brought out to the car. The employees that I interacted with were all nice, but I actually really appreciated the gentleman that brought my food out to the car.. he came back out (thankfully right before I almost drove off) to let me know they'd accidentally left out my son's kids meal and that he was going back in to grab it for me. Glad he went out of his way to do that before I left! When I got home, we noticed that our 3 piece meals did not have the correct meat chicken we specified (one was supposed to have all white meat and the other all dark meat, and one was mild and one was spicy). So the heat levels were correct on the meals but they mixed up which should have been spicy and which mild. I tried the blackened tenders and OH MY GOODNESS! They were insanely delicious! I haven't had the hot fried chicken here and was told these are actually the spiciest chicken they serve. And it's hot, so that might be the case! So be prepared for the heat level. But it was truly very good! All of our food tasted fresh and that, to me, makes the long wait worth it.

I'd never had a problem, so I ordered. I ate about 1/2 the food, and then it started. It was the first and only thing that I had eaten all day, so it had to be this. It bothered me this morning when I went to the fridge to grab those leftovers, which I'd usually love better the 2nd day, but today I had to dump them. I don't know if the kitchen is dirty, or if the meat is spoiled, or maybe they are not washing after defecating. I'll take the stance that my neighbors have taken....we'll never go back there.
