I would not recommend this place for NYE. They had an extremely limited menu that was not published beforehand. If it had been, we wouldn't have gone. There were several gin drinks, one bourbon, and one mocktail you could add vodka to. That's all. You couldn't order any other drinks. We hate gin. So we stuck with the bourbon cocktail. It was 0% consistent. They said it was a batch, but every drink we had tasted different. Maybe the mix wasn't mixed well. Not the end of the world. It was still a decent drink. What was terrible is that only half way through service they ran out of the drink and would not make more. They said they were saving the rest for the next seating. So we were left with no drink options we liked. That's a big deal when you've *bought tickets* to be there. So we paid to be at a bar where we weren't given access to anything we liked and weren't told this would be the case when we bought the tickets. You have a whole bar there. Come up with another drink on the fly to replace the one you're out of. After several people complained, the bartenders said they would pour bourbon neat or on the rocks. Yeah, I can do that at home for free. If you are going to make people pay for access to an extremely limited menu make sure you don't run out of the key ingredients. The snacks were good and decently plentiful, but they weren't worth the ticket price (sushi that was not on ice, cheese, meat, fruit, crackers, deviled eggs, cookies) Would I come back? I'd like to give it another try only because Cookeville needs a place like this. If this was in another city, I wouldn't be back.

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!

The menu had something for everyone--from salads to burgers and classic bar food. The tostada salad was a hit I forgot to take a picture. I have mixed feelings about the visit. While the food was a hit (everyone enjoyed their orders), the service was a bit slow. It took a while after being seated, to place our orders, and finally get our food. Our server was very sweet, but seemed stretched thin--possibly juggling too many tables. Overall, a decent local stop with a solid menu, but be prepared for a more relaxed pace when it comes to service.

Its important to note that the place was not even half full at 1pm on a Sunday. The service was extremely slow and we had to ask for everything- refills on our waters, silverware, salt and pepper, ketchup, etc. Four of us had meals that came with french fries and when we asked for ketchup- we were brought one single serve cup of ketchup, and by the time they brought us more, we were almost done eating. I can't speak for the rest of my party, but my burger was almost inedible. It was like a hockey puck- overcooked, dry, and tasteless. I didn't even finish it and I'm a fatass that always cleans his plate. One thing I had in the past that we enjoyed was the Limoncello cake- so we decided to get two slices for the table to share. It took quite a while to get the cake to the table and we understood why when we cut into it. It was almost completely frozen in the middle. We mentioned this to the server and he apologized as he handed us the bill. I felt he could've at least removed the cake from the tab. This place tries to give off some type of fancy or trendy vibe and they are not even close. There are several other places within walking distance that are MUCH BETTER. I will never come back here- at least not until they get some of the basics down like food and service.

I stopped counting after 100. The sauce was good, I could really get the tang of the tomato base. The shrimp were juicy as well My mom and sister got the steak cooked well. They said it was cooked perfect and the okra were crispy. The sweet tea was definitely sweet and tea might have needed to boil for a bit longer. We ended up having to wait for the ice to melt down to be able to drink it with all the sugar. I'd like to go back to check out more menu options. Also, the service was great. Probably some of the best service I've experienced in a restaurant
