Currently offering takeout. This drive up and get out of your cat restaurant served some great Southern food! Before I continue please be aware they are a CASH ONLY business at this moment! We ordered two fries pork chop plates and one chicken with turnip greens and Mac and cheese. The chops were DELICIOUS and just the way I like them, the turnips were awesome and the Mac was basic and left something to be desired. I would definitely return for the fried chops! read more

Good home cooking for the soul!!! They never disappoint me .. I have been on several occasions and always love my plate

You want to have some soul food served by some awesome folks in local area and not in downtown Nashville? Well, it looks like you need to drive to Jonestown and simply stop by Lil Cee's for some comfort soul food for your own soul. My boyfriend and I rented an apartment unit to stay while we were in Nashville, and we happened to come upon this restaurant. Also, it's advertised in the complex guide book as well. To be honest, the outside and the inside of the place are not that impressive like you'd see at a restaurant in downtown Nashville. It simply is there to serve food for the local people, and the style is basically cafeteria. You tell them what you want for your choice of meat and choices of side dishes. I got meat loaf, collard greens, and sweet potato. My boyfriend got meat loaf, Mac and cheese, cheddar broccoli, and mashed potato. Seriously, the portions are very generous, and they fill up your to-go container. The food is as good as it gets, and your soup will be blessed. Drinks will need to be purchased from the vending machine. I would strongly recommend you to do take-out only for this place. You'd l read more

I tried Lil Cee's on a Sunday afternoon about 30 minutes before close. They had a pretty good selection to be closing in 30 minutes. I tried the beef tips, northern beans, sweet potatoes, and hot water corn bread. My boyfriend had the chicken & dressing, greens, broccoli & cheese, and hot water corn bread. Overall the food was okay. I've had better soul food in Nashville. The sweet potatoes were my favorite. My northern beans were a little undercooked and flavorless. So be sure to skip those. The staff was very nice and helpful. read more

Lil Cee's - Smothered pork chop from lil cee's - Soul Food Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The food is delicious and fresh but you will have to possibly wait for the pork chops to be cooked fresh. If it's freshly cooked I don't mind waiting! Be aware that it's CASH ONLY! Proteins and sides are terrific! Nice selection of side dishes and proteins. It was walk up only when I visited and was really hot waiting under the covered porch, but it was the end of July in Nashville where it is really hot and humid. I did appreciate the shade for myself and my car while waiting. They sell kool-aid which is really sweet, but in the iced filled foam cup in the heat was pretty good. Once you pay for your order you receive a numbered ticket stub as your receipt. If you need a detailed receipt you will need to ask for it. The service was very friendly, helpful and tip worthy. I would check it out if you like country food/soul food with good quality, nice size portions and great service! I visit often and you will too! read more

I got the fried porks chops Mac and cheese and a order of chitterlings. The fried pork chops was fresh and good. The Mac and cheese taste like they were out the box smh and chitterlings didn't have no taste no seasonings nothing. It was definitely not worth it to stand in the long line. I read great reviews but not what I expected. read more

One of the best meat & 3 veggies restaurant in Nashville. Owner/Staff personal & cordial. Food delicious! I have never had a food here I didn't enjoy. Try it out! read more

Tried this place for the first time and I was very pleased. I love soul food and this spot is very satisfying.

Their website states that they are open at 10:30 am on Sundays! I found this to be a falsehood as I endeavored to eat there today, 02/03/2019. I got there at 11:00 am and found them to be closed with a customer in the parking lot telling me that they will open at 12:00. I returned at 11:55 and waited outside until 12:25 when I was told by a family worker that it would be another 10-15 minutes before they opened!!! This is not indicative to owning and presenting a business to customers!!! If you say you are opening at a certain time, then your doors should be opened at that time not only to honor your word, but also to establish credibility with your customers!!! I did in fact leave once I had waited over 30 minutes, and will never subject myself to such disrespect from them ever again!!! read more

This place is a no frills meat and 3 with great home cooked food and really kind people behind the counter! Great for a quick takeout meal

Just a little heavy handed on the salt, but it was quick with no wait on a friday with a great menu selection, and everyone was pleasant an friendly . My second time there and everything was great read more

Horrible, Horrible, HORRIBLE. I drove a pretty far length to this restaurant in a very downtrodden and rundown part of Nashville. Google stated how this restaurant closed at 7:00. I was at the door of this restaurant trying to get in and it was maybe 6:28. Someone inside asked "Cee" if she was closed, which clearly she wasn't as other people were leaving the restaurant, and she told the Black man at the door that she was in fact "closed". I am from Memphis and I was in Nashville with my girlfriend. I read on Google how terrible the customer service was and my expectations were unfortunately confirmed. All I wanted were some chitterlings. 6:28 is not 7:00. That woman had time for another customer. Half an hour is more than enough time to provide ONE PERSON with food. read more

This place is kind of a hole in the wall but the food is great! I had fried pork chops with white beans and greens. Both pork chops were moist and fried to perfection. My sides were flavorful. The portions were generous, especially considering the meal was under $10. There's not much room if you want to sit and eat and the location is kind of interesting, but I will be returning to this place next time I return to Tennessee. By far one of the best meals of my vacation. I would give this place 5 stars except for location and the fact that food isn't made to order, but served cafeteria style from warming trays. But, the meal that I had that day was definitely a 5 out of 5! Almost forgot... On my way out, I purchased a piece of lemon cake to eat later. That cake didn't last 5 minutes into my drive. Delicious! read more

I been to eat here several times. The food is great, seasoned just right and the meats are always tender. I recommend anyone want good soul food and very nice service...Check them out read more

Stopped here looking for some soul food before leaving Nashville. Got the friend chicken, skin was crispy and did not taste like reused oil. Very flavorful. Collard greens were amazing. Mac and cheese would of preferred more of a baked Mac n cheese. Very tasty peach cobbler and refreshing lemonade. Also- one of the cleanest bathrooms. Don't let this little hole in the wall fool you. read more

Best meat and 3 in Middle Tennessee. This place is alittle off the beaten path but well worth the drive. It is basicly a take out only. Awesome!! read more

Oh my goodness. What a treat. Fantastic fried chicken. Greens seasoned to perfection no vinegar pepper sauce needed. Hot water cornbread. Price was definitely affordable. read more

Boxed mash potatoes, bug on floor and still crawling, and not worth the money overall.

This is unique local restaurant that specializes in southern down-home cooking. I was wonderfully surprised at how good the food was and how warmly I was treated. I tried the fried catfish and the meatloaf - both were excellent. The green beans and fried apples were great side dishes. Cedric, the owner and founder has been here 19 years. He is personally here almost every day. His staff are also long-timers. If you are traveling on I-65 or going through Nashville, you need to come here for lunch or dinner (open 11 to 7). read more

Blink and you will miss it. When me and wife notice a big pot of fresh greens cooking when we walk in we knew we were in the right spot. Great food. The best. read more

Best food in Tennessee! Pork chops are amazing!!!! Take out only! Junky building, excellent food!

Let get to the point: 1. To much sage int the turkey and dressing. 2. Sweet potatoes not like your grandma 3. The greens had more stems than leaves read more

Best place to get real home cooked food in nashville, I eat here at least 3 times a week.

Best soul food a man can ask for fresh off work!!!!! Everything cooked fresh and the staff is awesome!!!!! Best soul food restaurant in Nashville I think. They need to start cooking chitterlings on more days of the week and closing at 10pm. But all in all the food is like crack. read more

Excellent food! Lousy parking! I just recently visited Lil Cee's, and was very much satisfied, with the food I selected. I am a Chitterlings lover, and the ones, here, did not disappoint, in fact, they were Delicious!!! Everything we ordered, from the Meatloaf, and Ribs, to every veggie we selected, the seasoning was outstanding! The only down side, to this experience, was parking. Parking is HORRIBLE!!! But, if you can find a spot, and get some food...you find that it was worth the wait! read more
