What an interesting spot for food! This was my first time at a GC and I wasn't really sure what to…read moreexpect. I will say checking out first kind of threw me off. I would call it the most American of American buffets. It was packed even for 3:30! I really try to get pictures without anyone in them but that was pretty tricky here. They had: salad/fruit bar, baked tater bar, BBQ section, taco and chipotle area, and I think two others. Their desert bar was pretty impressive: waffles, cheesecake, soft serve and much more. Taste of the food was a bit better than what you would expect from a buffet. Definitely worth the price of $13/adult! This particular site was very senior-friendly, which was nice to see.

This is the second time that I have eaten at this location. Both times the restaurant has been…read moreclean, this includes the bar area too as it is hard to keep these areas clean. The server was attentive and polite, and quick to check on us and refill our drinks. I started with a salad with lots of toppings. I seriously need to remember to get a plate instead of a bowl because I always run out of room... After the salad bar came the main dishes, Cajun Pasta, Pot Roast, Green Beans, Okra, Cheeseburger, Beans & Cornbread, Fried Chicken, Hot Wings, Mashed Potatoes, Macaroni and Cheese... The list goes on and on. Banana pudding, chocolate chip cookie and chocolate covered marshmallow for dessert... My friend and I went for the early dinner and for him and I it was less than $30.00. Not bad for a meal and we are stuffed... Definitely worth going back again.

We were on a roadtrip from Louisville, KY to Chattanooga, TN taking the backroads when we stopped…read morein to Brazen Que and it was worth the drive to discover this amazing BBQ joint. Among the best smoked meats I ever ate. The food is amazing. We ordered a brisket and a pulled pork sandwich with beans and mac n cheese. The pork was among the best I ever had. The flavor of the rub and smoke goes through all the meat. The brisket was tender, meaty, pleasantly salty and peppery. The beans were house made and the sauce was a little thin and the mac n cheese was very creamy. The homemade sauces were epic. The counter service was helpful and our food was ready right away. The place is small. More like a roadside joint than a restaurant. It can barely fit 30 people. Minus one star for not having blues music!

Cookeville is such a small, quaint, and friendly town with such genuine charm to it. My husband and I visit his mimi every year and as part of our tradition, we select a restaurant in town to eat at to give her a break from cooking us meals. This year we chose Spankies! We were greeted by warm, welcoming faces, and the restaurant's ambiance felt comfortable and inviting. We ordered quite a variety from the menu! And every single dish, from the starters, to the entrées, to the sides were each absolutely delicious! You cannot go wrong with any order. 5 stars for a lovely experience!
