Felt like I was stepping into the 1950's where all the blacks were in the kitchen, old southern whites were eating and staring, and everyone has strong country (improper English) accents. The catfish was a less flaky kind more mushy than I'd like. But the batter was nice. The jalapeño cornbread was just okay. The black eyed peas were a bit watery but fine. The fruit tea was different and not too sweet. My mom loves the food here so I'm rating it on her scale. I personally don't care to return but am happy locals love the food & keep them in business. read more

Veronica and her family put out some amazing food on the daily. The food is always great, well seasoned and delicious. The staff are always a pleasure to deal with and there's no way you're leaving there hungry. If you're looking for a quality home-cooked meal, this is your place. An absolute Cadillac of meat and three restaurants. read more

Liz's Kitchen is a great example of a southern meat and three style restaurant serving up some great country cooking. There are two dining rooms, and they do fill up fast. The menu is displayed on a chalkboard on the wall and orders are taken at the table. Liz's does have a Facebook page where the daily menu is posted. We enjoyed the fried chicken, green beans, macaroni and cheese, pinto beans, and mashed potatoes, and my husband had some banana pudding for dessert. Everything was tasty! You won't be hungry after a visit to Liz's Kitchen. read more

Service was excellent. Everyone was nice and helpful. The dressing was good and the jalapeño cornbread was probably the best thing out of everything. The mac and cheese was not good at all unfortunately and had zero seasoning. The sweet potatoes were just meh as well. Wouldn't get this again but would possibly try something else to support. read more

Liz's Kitchen - Jashanti is THE best--soooooo sweet! - American Near Me - Goodlettsville, Tennessee

All Liz's southern food is delicious. Her pies are in a league of their own. The servers are as close to having dinner served by your family. Very clean establishment. The only issue I encountered was standing in a long line at the register! Please Liz get an outstanding cashier or add a register. That is reason a rated 4 stars rather than 5 stars. See y'all soon for some glorious CAT FISH! read more

Great little mom and pop joint. Huge meal. Real biscuits. Cracker Barrel, eat your heart out!

The fish was marvelous, some veggies were good, not all. We ate there 2x wasn't better than the 1st time. Actually, I give it 2 1/2 stars definitely needs some improving... especially the green beans ( tasted a lil' canny) mac (ok) . Try it yourself everyone tastes buds are different. I'll definitely come back for the fried fish!!!! read more

Excellent. Thank you, Yelpers. Driving home from MS to IN and was looking for something around Nashville. Food was excellent. It was hopping in there and I see why. I've learned it takes skill to have good food without over salting. The catfish was light and crispy. Pinto beans were flavorful as were the greens. Chicken livers were very tender and fried just right. The deviled eggs were slightly sweet. Got some banana pudding which they serve warm. It will be just as good cold because it is fire. And the young ladies working the room are awesome. Service fantastic. read more

Was here from out of town and walked in excited for breakfast but was told at 10:30 that breakfast is over and lunch starts at 11... so we walked out because we went for biscuits and gravy.. what are they serving for those 30 mins if we couldn't have breakfast? lol read more

This family owned business is one of the best places to eat in the Nashville area. All food is made from scratch and the portions are large. It gets very busy at noon so get there early and be greeted by friendly people in a down home atmosphere. A very affordable meal. read more

Awesome home cooked food. Service is friendly and the ambiance is cute. I wouldn't go during lunch tho bc it is super crowded with the rushing lunch crowd. If it's before 12 or after 1 it's reasonable space. Although all the people are nice and it's a delicious country meal. Prices are reasonable. read more

Excellent Breakfast, Reasonably Priced and Ample Portions! Server was friendly and prompt. Quaint cafe style space for dining. read more

Came by on my lunch break, so I got mine to go. It was so busy that I was afraid it would take a long time, but they had me in and out in less than 5 minutes. I got spaghetti and black eyed peas. Portions are big. They also have the option for regular or spicy cornbread, which I liked. Staff was super friendly and answered my questions about how to order. read more

I absolutely love the food here. I thought I would never be able to find good soul food since I moved here from Memphis, but Miss Liz changed my mind. If you go in, you will see the Owner working just as hard as the staff the customer service is always amazing there. Every time I go there, it is a packed house but no matter how packed it is. They are still so nice. My favorite thing to get there is the fried catfish with the collard greens and a side of dressing the place is so good and it's unexpectedly in a place you wouldn't even think it would be. Please try them out. read more

Found this spot near our RV park here in Goodlettsville TN. Very good home style cooking. We had the pork chop with 2 sides. Was so good we took 2 pork chops home for dinner. Our server Pam was very attentive, even got a hug when we left. Highly recommend for home cooked meals. read more

I've had the ribs and cat fish. SO GOOD. Highly recommend. Home cooked southern food. read more

Great meat & 3. Although they get busy & crowded sometimes the friendly people & good food is worth it. Community feeling

Service wasn't good. They never came back around for refills. Food was bland. And I got overcharged $4. They called back and said it was for the catfish. The math still didn't add up. read more

Good menu and lovely staff! It's alway a treat to make by there. Plus, you never know who you might run in to.

(In my opinion) Absolutely NOTHING in the world beats some southern soul food. You may be having the worst day ever but you sit down and eat some food that was made with a good amount of seasoning and a whole lot of a love and it may not fix all your problems but you are definitely going to feel better! And that is EXACTLY how I feel about Liz's! Everything you eat is loaded with flavor and just wraps your soul in a warm hug! Especially those those sweet potatoes! OMG, divine! Im a grown woman and I'm not afraid to admit that I licked the bowl clean! The fried chicken was nice and moist with a great crunch. And let me tell ya, that jalapeño cornbread is no joke! They do not skimp out on the jalapeños, but trust me, you want to get it! The cornbread is so sweet and spongey! Also- who ever gave them a bad review because it was "pack and there was a huge crowd" is a bonehead. THATS A GOOD THING! Yes, this place is busy! But that's because its freaking amazing! But do keep that in mind when deciding to go. Give yourself plenty of time to wait to be seated and do expect a fast paced environment while you're in there. Those angels are hard at work and doing phenomenal job! Finally, their portions are in abundance and the price will just knock your socks off if the food hasn't already... but trust me, it will :) read more

First of all if you can get in the building it's definitely worth the wait. Family ran establishment with the nicest people. They had several options to choose from. I opted for the chicken and dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans, mac and cheese, and deviled eggs. I did get fruit tea and banana pudding and everything was fire. I will easily without a second thought be going back. If you don't want to wait you can also call in your order. read more

Very good meeting in three. Prices are reasonable. Family owned business. Love the down home. Friendliness.

Today was mine and my husband's first time at Liz's. I saw a segment about it on Channel 5's Talk of the Town so we had to try it. I had their catfish with hush puppies, white beans and cabbage and my husband had the catfish, hush puppies, white beans and slaw. Everything we had was very good and was cooked just as we liked it. The chocolate pie and blueberry cobbler with ice cream was excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive even though they were extremely busy. Our food was hot and arrived quickly. This will not be our last visit...we'll be back!! read more

Sunday dinner just like grandma use to make. Maybe even better! Lots of options and including this excellently prepared meaty flakey light catfish, delish deviled eggs, amazing southern dressing with perfect gravy and cranberry sauce. Greens were okay along with the jalapeño cornbread. Lack owned and ran. Momma's, Aunties and Uncles in the kitchen just like a beloved holiday dinner feast. read more

Advertised as open on Sunday... just went out of our way to get here, closed up tighter in a drum. always pisses me off when these businesses don't bother to keep up with social media read more

Their chicken and dressing is The Best in the area!! They are wonderful and I go back as often as I can!!

While we live in Nashville, our niece told us about this soul food place in Goodlettsville that served delicious food at a reasonable price. We visited Liz's Kitchen last week and ordered the catfish with veggies and were amazed by the portion size, flavor of the food, and price. In addition the atmosphere was homey and the people very friendly. Since then, we've been regular customers. We've tried several dishes and everything is down right delicious to the last bite. This is now our favorite restaurant and is well worth the drive. The Tates read more

Love Liz's!! Always great food, served w a smile and love! I go every chance I get!! Meat and 3 was a new thing to me, and they do it so well. read more

Driving from Chicago to Birmingham and stopped for lunch one Sunday and was pleasantly surprised. Busy clean dining room but service was fast. Great portions and prices. Ladies were super friendly. Had the Fried Chicken, Greens, Pinto Beans and Slaw. Everything was great. Next time I'll grab a dinner roll instead of the cornbread. read more

Great food! I love the food and the staff are wonderful people who aim to please all customers! I would recommend this restaurant evey

I went with a group of friends. Everyone said their food was really good. I had the liver which a lot of people don't like but it was delicious. The mashed potatoes were real. I even got a plate to go. The restaurant was full and the service was great. I will return!! read more

Food was fire and service was even better! They got a good thing going. Will DEFINITELY be back!

You won't find a better place for catfish than Liz's. The attention to detail is amazing. The food is expedited to your table IMMEDIATELY upon cooking, so the temperature of everything is absolutely perfect. (We foodies are very sensitive to eating food at the correct temperature; that's the only way to truly taste it as the chef intended it.) The catfish was superb. There's no other way to describe it. I've had good catfish, excellent catfish, even fantastic catfish at other places. Liz's catfish is simply the best. Flavorful, crunchy texture, light and fluffy, excellent taste and crispy coating (Memphis style.) Highly recommended! Plus, everyone here is super-nice. It's a very pleasant dining environment. read more

Liz's Kitchen has the nicest staff and great food and prices.Sunday's after Church it's always packed with people. The Staff does a tremendous job of getting people in and out but you don't feel rushed. They are like family to everyone. They have been at the same location for years and I've been going there for years. Love them and their awesome food and desserts.. read more

This place is Top Drawer ! Like Leah Chase The Queen of Creole Cuisine in New Orleans. Liz is that good !! And it doesn't get any better than that. I have eaten there for years, and it's always packed, it's always fantastic, and it's reasonably priced. You will come out of there completely full. Friday they have fried catfish domestically raised that is crispy as a french fry on the outside and warm and flaky on the inside. They also have ribs that literally melt in your mouth. Liz's husband worked on an aircraft carrier for many years serving 5000 people a day , and knows his way around the kitchen. Best I've ever had !!! And they are both the nicest people that you ever want to meet. This place is right in the middle of Goodlettsville Tennessee right next to the courthouse. So you'll meet an eclectic bunch of people who are from hard-working to upper class. But everybody seems to blend in because it's such a great atmosphere and great food. I'd give her 10 stars if I could.. Faubus read more
