    Our experience at the Old Fort restaurant was unexpected. The building on the outside was unimpressive, but inside, the service, the surroundings, and the food was just great! I had the catfish sandwich and my husband had the fried shrimp and both were hot and fresh and delicious. So glad that we came here instead of going to fast food somewhere. Prices were just about the same as fast food, but the experience and the food was so much better!

    The food was amazing. Service was outstanding and it is a great family restaurant. If you are looking for good home cooked meal for breakfast or dinner this is the place to go! Inviting and friendly atmosphere. This is a family owned place and it was wonderful. See the standard dress code! Loved this.

    When we got into town after a long drive, we were looking forward to fried chicken and tamales at…read moreChampy's! What a disappointment, I'm sorry to say. But we ate the cold tamales and over cooked chicken because it was late. Family joined us two nights later and they, too, wanted to try Champy's so we agreed, thinking Friday night's experience was just not a good night. Gotta tell you - we should have just set the Benjamin Franklin $100 bill on fire - it would have been more fun to watch it burn and tell a story about it later. Spending $99.00 for burned, hard chicken livers, two pieces of once again overcooked fried chicken, one order of pickles and 6 wings - holy smoke! Terrible food for the second night in a weekend. When we got back to the hotel, the clerk at the front desk and the bartender asked us why in the world we went there - they would NEVER recommend this place. We've been to Champy's MANY times at various locations but listen when I tell you - this one in Cleveland is the worst in the chain. If you need a Champy's "fix" - first get your meal at Aubrey's across the parking lot, then just sit outside on Champy's balcony, try to overlook the pit bulls on chains and order a drink - your night will be much better.

    The good was delicious I loved the chicken of course and their gumbo was to die for!!…read moreService was fast and friendly and loved the inside ambiance

Our waitress left much to be desired.. waited a long time for her to show to the table and take our drink order.. she apologized for the wait. Then we ordered.. waited again for drinks. A longer than expected time for food when comparing to places like longhorn or Texas Roadhouse which are competition. The food was ok. I forgot they season their steak quite heavily.. this steak was basically eating spice blend. Some enjoy that, to me not so much. I want to taste steak not over seasoned subpar steak. Usually the amount of seasoning on my steak indicates covering very low quality. It wasn't priced low vs competition. We had a child's dinner at the table for medium steak tips. They came out raw to medium. I was not comfortable letting it be consumed. Took quite awhile to get waitresses attention.. and the only offer was to put them back on the grill. I'm not a fan given cooks are usually not pleased with a kicked back steak. This dinner took way too long to get the meals and then the bill. I'm sure someone will say why didn't you talk to the manager.. what manager? One did not make themselves known in the establishment and having to return a child's steak should be prompt enough a boss figure to appear.

    I arrived at 1:16 PM on 2025-07-27. The restaurant was pretty packed at that time, but it wasn't…read moreoverly loud. I told the person at the front that I just need a table for 1, and she said the wait would be about 10 minutes. Thankfully though, I only had to wait 2 minutes and 12 seconds. The booth area I was seated it wasn't dirty or damaged, and it had a very classy look to it. I ordered the "Reese's Peanut Butter & Nutella French Toast", which comes with 2 eggs (I ordered sunny-side up) and sausage (I went with turkey sausage). The food took 17 minutes and 50 seconds to arrive. I note how long it took for transparency purposes only (I had a book with me to read, so I didn't mind the wait). After ordering, I did use the men's bathroom, which is a single bathroom (thankfully, it was vacant). Its not a very big bathroom, but I didn't feel claustrophobic in it, and was well kept. Here's my thoughts on each part of the meal: The eggs were cooked well and tasty The sausages (it came with 2) were not dry and didn't taste like frozen brand named sausages from a grocery story The French toast was great. Very peanut butter-y flavor (which is what I was wanting), and the strawberries were vibrant and sweet. It came with syrup on the side, but honestly, the French toasted was great even without the syrup (though I did put the syrup on after I tasted the toast as is). Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal and experience at the restaurant. Thanks to my server Kayla for being friendly, and thanks to Fisch (I hope I spelled your name right) for making a tasty meal. Now, I had mentioned to Kayla how I was interested in trying out the "American Dream Golden Pancake" meal at some future point, and after I had paid for the meal, a guy came to my table (I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your name) and not only inquired if I was satisfied with my meal but also offered me the "American Dream Golden Pancake" meal to take home for free. This was a highly unexpected goodwill offer which I took up. This meal also comes with 2 eggs (I chose scrambled) and sausage (I chose pork). Now, as with any meal you take to go, its not going to be as good as when you have it in the actual restaurant. Despite that however, I was able to reheat the meal good, and here's my thoughts on the items in the meal: The eggs were flavorful and not rubbery The sausage patty wasn't dry and was tasty The pancake was crispy (I toasted it in my oven), the strawberry and blueberry cremes were great. The strawberries and blueberries were sweet. Golden Yolk was a truly great spot to eat it, and if you're in the Cleveland, TN area, I'd highly recommend coming here. Update 2025-12-09: I came back to Golden Yolk for a lunch a little more than a week before my birthday. This time, my order was a Southwest Power Omelette with a side of Mixed Greens and Cinnamon Raisin Toast (I could've picked Sourdough or Wheat Berry). Everything was great, and since it was close to my birthday, I was given a free birthday biscuit topped with their Blueberry Dream Creme and whipped cream. I'd recommend coming here for birthdays.

    Visited the Golden Yolk on Saturday morning, and even though it was very busy, the wait was only…read moreabout 20 minutes. I ordered the Good Ole Boy breakfast, and it was excellent. It came with a huge flaky biscuit topped with a generous scoop of sausage and bacon gravy. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were seasoned really well, and the bacon was nice and crispy. My husband got the build-your-own omelet, and it was very well made with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was lively and a little loud, but it fit the restaurant perfectly with its modern Southern vibe. Pricing was a little high, but nothing crazy in today's market. Will return!
