Driving along I-40 in Cookeville you can find a lot of identifiable eateries. Chicken, burgers,…read moretacos...even steak. If I might recommend one that's off the beaten (well beaten) path, try Grace's Lumpia. First let me help you - lumpia is like a spring roll. Grace's is a food truck in a parking lot. They have benches and umbrellas. The wait isn't that long. The staff - 10/10 on service. Prices are more than fair in today's world. I tried the burger and lumpia option. The burger is really good and comes with a burger sauce (you can say no or get it on the side), and you get 4 lumpia instead of fries. Both were good and filling. I think next time I'll get a few more lumpia, just because they're so good. Take the path less traveled and visit Grace's Lumpia.

Finally checked this off my ever going 'want to try' list…read more I was pleasantly surprised that this was a sit down restaurant. For whatever reason, I thought it would be an order at the counter type of place. The interior was vibrant and colorful, and the weight staff was friendly and efficient. I ordered chicken adobo with Pancit and pork lumpia with a side of rice. The lumpia and pancit was tasty but the chicken adobo was the start of the show. My taste buds were in heaven! The pieces of chicken were on the smaller end but the taste of the gravy was just wonderful and rich. I enjoyed every bite. Also in the back of the restaurant they have baked items and some other Asian grocery items for purchase. A must try if your enjoy Filipino food.
