They suggested I try their blueberry donut and chocolate chip cookie. I can say both were very good and I would get both again. Another guy who was ordering raved about this place and informed me he has been coming for decades. He said it was the best bakery in town, and after my visit I can see why they have such loyal customers.

I ordered the chicken and dressing with mashed potatoes and gravy and Mac and cheese. Everything was cold except for the gravy which was scalding.

Would have returned it, but waitress was on her cellphone until my friend had already finished his meal. Just paid and left.

The place looks like I'm walking into an old house with a foyer! We were hungry and got to order food immediately! Since it was the first time, we were not feeling too adventurous! The food arrived within 7 to 10 minutes, the Big Kahuna Tuna Sandwich was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, the sweet potato fries with that sweet cinnamon dusting were absolutely addictive, the fish and chips were hot and crispy, and the garden quesadillas were fresh and satisfying. The wait staff were very friendly, attentive without hovering, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. I highly recommend this historic Lebanon gem to anyone looking for a relaxed, delicious meal in a place that still feels like "old school" hospitality done right. I'm looking forward to being back again someday! Thank you for the memories!

The food is so good--the kind of comfort cooking that tastes like someone's grandma is back there making everything with love. Generous portions, incredible flavor, and nothing fancy... just done right. You can tell this place cares about quality and heart, not trends. If you're in Lebanon and want an authentic country kitchen experience with amazing food and friendly vibes, do yourself a favor and stop by Belle's Little Country Kitchen. Once you find it, you'll be wondering how it ever stayed a secret. I'll absolutely be back--this place deserves all the love

It's is a complete joke for no other reason than they just don't seem to care. Not a staffing issue as I've seen in other reviews in my particular case. Came in yesterday (Saturday) morning alone for breakfast. There were two other tables of 2-3 people in the whole place when I arrived so place was maybe at 10% capacity. Both tables already had their food. There was no staff present when I walked in so I sat at the bar, the bartender was also not present. I sat there for 10 minutes or so before anyone came out. The waitress that did eventually come out but walked by me to check her tables and didn't pay me any attention and then disappeared into the back again. She went back and forth a few times continuing to check tables and not address me or send out the bartender. As I was about to leave she came over without a word, dropped a menu, didn't take a drink order and walked away. I've been here for 30 minutes or so now finally and have a menu and no other acknowledgement I exist. Finally the bartender comes out from the back and asks what he can get me. I ask him for a cup of coffee and before I can say anything else he disappears into the back. I was fully ready to order but figured he was grabbing it and coming right back. He was literally in the back ANOTHER 20 minutes and when he finally returned without the coffee he said he was making a fresh pot. He finally returns with the coffee (in a paper to go cup? This is a sit down morning brunch) and takes my order. I ordered waffles and waited. I've been here nearly an hour now in a practically empty restaurant and just now ordering. Another table comes in, gets sat, and eventually gets their food. I'm still waiting. The bartender pops back out for a second, sees me looking royally pissed at this point and I point at the new table eating and motion back at him like what the hell is going on? He walk over and says "I burned all your waffles and had to start over." Ok... what's it take to cook a waffle... 2-3 minutes? We're 90 minutes deep at this point. Finally someone else appears with my order. Again I will be fair, when I did finally get it the order was pretty good however at this point I had a 10-15 minutes before I had to be somewhere else. I wasn't expecting breakfast to take two hours. I ate about half of it and asked for the check. They dropped it without a word and I paid and left. Let me say I grew up working in restaurants and bars and I can be very understanding of a full restaurant that's understaffed and doing their best. THIS WAS NOT THAT. They literally just did not care. To say this place is grossly mismanaged would to be implied that someone is managing it at all, which doesn't seem to be the case. The food was good but not good enough to deal with this again anytime soon.

I came for the Monday Night Bluegrass Jam, but I stayed for the Cheeseburger Fries, which are…read moredelightfully crunchy, battered French fries, topped with cheesy ground beef and scallions. Unexpectedly fabulous, considering I thought I was ordering a Cheeseburger and Fries special. Our waitress Kaylee outdid herself with southern hospitality and the occasional upsell.

The French fries are perfectly cooked and easily some of the best around. My son ordered a burger and loved it, and my friend had the chicken, which was also fantastic. I've had the strawberry salad there before as well, and it's fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. And don't skip dessert! The croissant pudding is incredibly good, and the bourbon brownie is rich and delicious--the perfect way to end the meal. Every time we go, the food is consistently great. If you're in Mount Juliet and looking for a place with amazing flavors and a menu that has something for everyone, this spot is definitely worth visiting.

I…read moremade a reservation ahead of time, but when we arrived, we were seated at a small two-top even though several four-top tables were completely open. That should have been the first red flag. It was frustrating, especially once other couples were seated at larger tables, and we quickly realized we didn't have enough space for everything we ordered. We got two appetizers, a main entrée, and a side, with drinks. --and the table was overflowing because it was so small. Mozzarella Arancini (V): 3/10 - Very mid and lacking flavor. Bang Bang Shrimp: 10/10 - Easily the star of the night; fresh, homemade, and delicious. Steak Frites (DF): 4/10 - Ordered medium rare, but it came out much rarer. We couldn't finish it because it felt unsafe to eat. The fries were the only redeeming part. Gouda Mac N Cheese: 2/10 - Dry, unseasoned, and disappointing. Overall, the vibes were off and the food just didn't deliver. Came, saw, and unfortunately, won't be back.

The food is always great, the atmosphere is fun and laid-back, and the staff are incredibly friendly--always smiling and welcoming. They also have board games you can play, which adds such a fun touch, and we've even caught some live music that made the whole experience even better. One of our favorite parts is how family-friendly it is. Our daughter loves coming here because she has space to run around on a playground area and a whole big yard and just be a kid. While we relax and enjoy ourselves--which, honestly, is hard to find. This is one of the few places around that truly feels kid-friendly and enjoyable for adults. So if you're not into being around families, there are plenty of other spots. BUT for those of us who are, this place is a gem.
