    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.

    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.

    Dining at Monell's transcends the ordinary notion of a restaurant; it is, rather, an immersion into…read morea most refined and characteristically Southern custom. Situated in the heart of Germantown, this modest yet distinguished establishment offers not only fare of exceptional quality, but also the singular pleasure of partaking in a communal table, where strangers are received as companions, an echo of a more gracious and convivial age. The fried chicken is, without exaggeration, among the most excellent in the city, and the portions are notably generous. Each accompanying dish is prepared with the utmost care and discernment, reflecting a commendable attention to detail. Having first dined here upon our arrival in Nashville, it has since secured a place of particular esteem among the establishments we hold in highest regard. It is, beyond question, an experience to which one ought to aspire at least once. I confess a certain satisfaction in knowing that such a venerable tradition continues to flourish in the South.

    Came here one morning on my way out Nashville. I wanted a good breakfast, and all my research told…read moreme I had to come check this place out. I'm glad I did. This place was a wonderful little experience. We were greeted with the sign outside, "Enter as Strangers and Leave as Friends," which is one of my life philosophies. We got there right at opening, so we got seated first along with one of their years-long regulars. A friendly local lady who provided us with pleasant conversation until the next patrons arrived, who were seated right next to us at the same table, family style. Then the next people, then the next. Sitting, talking, passing the food around the table. It was a nice experience. And the ambiance was nice, too. Plain, wooden chairs, white tile flooring, vintage holiday decor, it was like being in a grandma's house. Very comforting. The food came out one or two dishes at a time. Everything was good enough, but it also was apparent that it was mass produced in a catering style. The basics like the bacon and ham were very good, but the fried chicken, I wouldn't take a big piece, save your stomach room for other things. Whatever other things you grab, make sure you grab a biscuit and get ahold of their homemade peach preserves. That stuff was 10/10 excellent. It's so good, they jar it and sell it at the front desk. I totally recommend. Overall, breakfast is one of the most important meal of the day, so if you find yourself in Nashville, I would implore you to come and check out this city staple of over 30 years now.
