Driving from Chattanooga to Kentucky we found ourselves in Celina, TN around lunch time. We passed a Subway, but we were looking for someplace with a feel for the area, and we found it! The first thing you notice about Ollie's is the elephant in the front of the bullding. You walk in and there are about 5 or 6 tables in the main room with a counter. We were greeted immediately and told to sit wherever we wanted. There was one other table taken when we walked in, but by the time we left, all of the tables were filled. We ordered waters to drink and the sourdough cheeseburger and shared an order of fries. Then we sat back to enjoy the ambience. Lots of fishing photos and photos of people attempting to eat their 2 pound burger! When we were leaving, someone ordered the 2 pound burger, so we missed getting to see some one attempt it. The burgers were perfect, just what we wanted. A flavorful burger with your choice of toppings with pepper jack cheese and a sourdough bun. The bun had been toasted also on the grill, so it had a nice crunch to it.

That was Good. Checked in to the nearby campground and asked if Ollie's or another restaurant were good to eat at. The campground attendants said, "Ollie's" in unison. I had The grouper, my husband had the catfish and both of my daughters got the elephant burgers. The guy at the next table got the "Tippsy burger." It was 2 pounds of beef. And let me add that the waitress was good. There were six tables in the front room and just as many in the back room and she was the only waitress and she didn't miss a beat. I think she had on roller skates.

Great fish fry and burger! Service was also attentive and kind. They brought our kiddo mashed potatoes to hold him over while we waited.

I recently moved to Gallatin Tennessee and every time I jump on Yelp I see this place for home…read morecooked food. Today I realized it was right down the street from me so I stopped by, no one came to the counter right away so I was able to snap a picture of the menu. As I tried to sneak out the owner came to the window and I felt compelled to order a fish plate and wings. I just wanted to check the menu because I knew I wouldn't want to pay $20 for food. I left and came back about 20 minutes later and the food was ready and still very hot. My 2 plates only came out to $13 and change so I was very happy about that. The food taste amazing to say the least. My wings were seasoned perfectly and came with a Buffalo ranch sauce that my mom used to make at home, didn't even know that sauce was a real thing! The fish was perfectly crispy and the coleslaw different, since it had relish and mustard in it, and still very good. The best part of it all to me were the fries, I love how they were seasoned and soft. I could not tell for sure but some of my wings looked like the meat may have been old or previously thawed out, learned that from watching kitchen shows on TV. Still very good and not worth losing a star over. This restaurant is only open Thursday through Saturday and it's tucked off in a neighborhood beside the public works office.

The food here is awesome. Large portions and perfectly seasoned. Try this southern/soul food…read moreimmediately. The owners couldn't be any nicer. Food is made fresh to order, so expect to wait a few minutes. But then again, all good things come to those who wait. I've lived in this town for my entire life and am deeply saddened that I didn't know about Backstreet Carryout until a month ago. All the glorious meals I've missed. Try them and you won't be disappointed.

What a gem of a place. We were on a tour of Nashville and the guide mentioned it as place to try…read more Served up family style, so you sit with random guests and sate a meal. The server was wonderful and kept the plates coming so there was no chance of running out. The fried chicken was the real deal with light breading and cooked to perfection. Collected greens, beans, pot roast and plenty of other items. If back in town again, we will be back. And for $18 a person, it's more than your moneys worth.

This was an absolute GEM in Nashville to visit. Family style southern home cooking…read more Came in here with a decent size group because one of our tour guides recommended it. We were so happy we gave this a chance and waited the hour+ to get in. Without doing much research, the surprises throughout the dining experience made it even better. They pair you up at a large table with other guests. You're introduced as cousins, brothers and sisters, friends, whatever you want! But you're going to be passing dishes the entire start and getting to know your neighbors at the table. So many things came out that were incredibly delicious to try. Chicken, pot roast, mac and cheese, corn mash, coleslaw, potatoes, sweet potato, biscuits, pasta! All of it was incredible. There's peach tea and lemonade too at the table and a pecan dessert at the end. Amazing experience and it was so cheap too. Only recommendation other than to absolutely try this place is to be respectful of the time you're there. They cycle people in and out pretty quick and you're given a card to remind you that when you notice tables near you getting reset for another group, your time is up and it's time to go!
