Meatloaf, green beans, potatoes and jalapeños cornbread- Yum!
Kimberly R.

Local Joe's in Hendersonville did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the people were so kind and helpful. I even got a free cookie. I will definitely be back. Great addition to our community!

This turkey is so delicious...slight cajun flavor, no spice, just tons of flavor. Moist and oh my goodness, I'm gonna go eat some right now!

WOW! Having dined at this location on several occasions I have found the food to always be top shelf. Fresh, high quality and amazingly flavorful. Their roasted turkey is off-the-chart delicious, roast beef superb and the side items did not come from a can. Everything is fresh made and it is difficult to go wrong. Oh yeah, the cajun snapper is something to try as well. The staff is friendly, knowledgable and professional. Also, believers. This is a family owned and operated business and the staff have been together with Joe for many years. Julia is credit to the company. She is so sweet and cares about the customers in a way that makes you want to come back. She is surrounded by the same caliber of people as herself. Caring, professional and knowledgeable of what is happening and if they don't know, they know where to get the answer...Julia. We ordered one of the turkeys, hams and a quart of gravy for our family Christmas gathering. On the day I was to pick up, I arrived at the appointed time, but....the order was not ready. The order was not done at all. The good news is the whole thing was handled in a way that made me write this review. Not only was everything prepared as described and arrived in a timely manner BEFORE the Christmas gathering started, they brought us a delicious fudge pie for the inconvenience. The pie was outstanding, one of the best fudge pies I ever eaten. The gravy is something like I've never had before. The flavor, texture and consistency was unlike any gravy. I wanted to just eat it as a side item!! Oh, the turkey and ham were, literally, right out of the oven when they were delivered. They were so hot when I was slicing them steam was pouring out and it was extremely hot to the touch!! Do yourself and your family a huge favor and try Local Joes. If you to have one of the best, if not the best, ham and turkey you have served on Thanksgiving or Christmas let Joe and his team prepare it for you. I assure you will not be disappointed. It is truly a pleasure to serve this food at our house and I love going there after church or to meet with my friends for leisurely lunch.

Mashed potatoes and chopped steak
Julie H.

Wonderful meat and three. They use beef tallow! I had the chopped steak and onions, jalapeño cornbread, garlic mashed potatoes, collard greens and a free chocolate chip cookie! The mashed potatoes were the best I've had in a very long time. Everything was fresh tasting and this was after 3pm.The atmosphere is open, clean and cafeteria style with plenty of tables. Happy to see Local Joe's in Hendy.

Place found by accident and so thankful!! Staff were friendly and helpful. I had the catfish, cabbage tomatoes & okra & hush puppies. Best catfish, crispy on the outside and moist inside. Veggies seasoned very well. Restaurant was clean. Owner very nice.

Crawfish Jules, cabbage, field peas, and spicy jalapeño cornbread - YUM!

I've been wanting to write this review because Chef's Market deserves so much more than five stars…read more My family and I have been coming here for years. We've celebrated family dinners, hosted business meetings, and made countless memories around your tables. Even after moving out of state more than 10 years ago, every single time I come back to Tennessee, my dad and bonus mom know that one stop is non-negotiable--we're going to Chef's Market. The food is incredible, and the cakes are worth the trip all by themselves. A few weeks ago, though, Chef's Market became so much more than a favorite restaurant. I got a call that my bonus mom had become very sick, and I rushed home to help care for my family. One day I stopped in to grab lunch and, of course, one of your amazing cakes to take back to the house. I was holding it together...until I wasn't. When the sweet lady behind the bakery counter asked which cake I wanted, all of the fear, exhaustion, uncertainty, and heartbreak I'd been carrying came pouring out. I couldn't stop crying. Without hesitation, she set the cake down, walked around the counter, and wrapped me in the biggest, most genuine hug. Not the kind of hug you give because you feel obligated--but the kind that says, "You're not alone." Then she prayed with me. A complete stranger saw my pain, held me tight, and promised she would continue praying for my family. As I sit in the hospital weeks later, I still think about that moment. I remember her kindness, her compassion, her gentle spirit, and the love she showed someone she had never met before. That hug meant more than she'll probably ever know. Chef's Market isn't just a restaurant with incredible food and the best cakes around. It's a place that feels like home. It's where my family has made years of memories, and now it's also the place where I was reminded that kindness still exists in this world. Thank you for feeding people in more ways than one. Thank you for caring. Thank you for reminding me that a simple act of compassion can carry someone through one of the hardest days of their life. You truly never know what someone is walking through. Your kindness made a difference in mine, and I'll never forget it. Unfortunately I have forgotten her name but I know she has beautiful black hair that smelled amazing!

I was disappointed in the lack of flavor in the chicken and the vegetables. I appreciate they…read moredidn't load everything down with salt, but I like a bit of something. It was cooked well though. The lemon cake looked amazing but tasted so odd, with fake lemon icing, even a little vinegary, with sugary, flavorless cake. I couldn't find the prices posted in the restaurant. When it's cafeteria-style and you have to quickly decide to keep the line moving, you need to know the price. Great presentation and portions, very friendly staff.

Finding the location and parking was a breeze. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a lovely young lady with the warmest Southern drawl. I didn't feel rushed or pressured to order, so I decided to sit down and enjoy my meal. Now, THIS is where the experience really stood out. The conversations with the staff were so natural and welcoming that I genuinely felt like I was visiting family. And guess what? Granddaddy himself came out of the kitchen, where he was cooking, just to sit and chat with me! We had a REAL conversation. He told me about his career, his retirement, and even pulled out his phone to show me pictures of his family. No scripted customer service, no forced small talk. Just genuine Southern hospitality. I absolutely LOVED that! Now, let's get into this FOOD! I ordered 12 wings, half mild and half hot, with a side of collard greens. Everything came out piping hot, fresh, and FULL of flavor. The portions were generous, too. I couldn't finish it all and had to get a to-go box. The food was delicious, but the hospitality is what really made this visit memorable. It's not every day you walk into a restaurant as a complete stranger and leave feeling like family. If you're in the area, PLEASE give this place a visit. Great food, authentic conversations, and Southern hospitality at its finest. 10/10! I'll absolutely be back!

Was my very first visit and the food and service were exceptional…read more I will be going back very very soon!
