    Inside

    On my way to Nashville Tn., my family and I decided to stop in at this restaurant for breakfast, as you walk into Fiddler you're transported back to a place where customer service and politeness is shown just for coming in. My family wanted to try something other than all the franchise restaurants around. It was like the tv show Cheers , everyone knew each other's name. It was very down home with fiddle music playing constantly and an eclectic atmosphere and decor. They have a buffet which was decent enough, the grits could have been cooked another 10 minutes, and some of the bacon and sausage patties were overcooked. However are server Donna was a sweetheart, she made sure we were definitely taken care of. This is definitely where the locals come and they all greeted us as if we were long lost relatives.

    After hurricane Helene closed parts of I-40, we adjusted our route to and from South Carolina and we discovered Fiddler's on the way. It was conveniently located for us to stop for lunch on a Sunday. The parking lot was full, but we were seated quite promptly. The menu has multiple options, but we opted for the buffet which includes cold, hot, and breakfast items. The restaurant also has live music several times a month, and features different performers on the tables.

    Salad, chicken, mashed potatoes, broccoli & Cheez-It casserole, potatoes, roll, bacon, eggs, biscuit, and gravy, fried catfish and grits.

    Food was good. Servers were nice. We had some brunch and were pleasantly surprised. The water tasted a little dirty, but the other drinks were fine. The barbecue sauce was good and the honey mustard was yummy too.

    Arrived for a small breakfast and found a fully stocked buffet. This former Shoney's has been transformed into a warm and so very friendly restaurant. The walls are covered with pictures of the beautiful local mountains. Adorning the entire restaurant are string instruments used in performing Blue Grass Music and the music is actually provided on weekends. The breakfast food and service was very good. We will return when in the area. Special notice to the bi-wing model plane at the end of the buffet.

    Fried chicken, Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy with mini blueberry muffins.

    Good selection of food on their buffet and all of it was very good. 'Down Home' theme and good service.

    Food was cold, and was not that tasty sadly. I was excited for a buffet but this didn't scratch the itch for me.

    The theme lends well to the name of the restaurant, and the light sound of country music helps.

She was embarrassed as she literally scowled at him with a huff because she was already coming with them. The food was just old.. the place wasnt packed so there was no need for the workers to keep an eye on the food that was dried out!! Even the boiled potatoes werent cooked fully, they were hard as a rock. Its almost as if the place doesnt care yet wants to charge $50 for 3 people to eat... and ya cant eat when the food is disgustingly hard and dried out! That night my husband who usually eats mine and our daughters share of food... didnt eat hardly anything because of how nasty the food was that day. Unless they begin caring about their customers and their experience... they shouldn't be charging so much for old crusty food.

The only thing missing was the chocolate fountain. So sad. With that said, the food is good, the staff is very friendly, and the place is clean. Thumbs up!

I got the chicken biryani and shared some garlic and regular naan with the table. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was pretty good! The naan was pretty good too. My own personal main complaint would be that the servers weren't the most proactive with refilling water- they weren't very available and we had to ask. Also, the chicken tikka masala was not good- don't get it.
