    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.

    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.

    We ordered food to go from here. And it was delicious. The restaurant is a family style seating…read moreand eating. Kind of unique Had the skillet fried chicken and potatoes.

    Hello everyone, what can I say about my visit. we visited on…read morea Sunday and they are only open from 8-4 pm. We sat outside to wait for our name to be called. The area had plenty of seating that includes benches, bistro seating and table and chairs with umbrellas as if you were sitting in a garden with big beautiful elephant ears. The restaurant is in German town a nice residential area because this place use to be a big home. Please note you will be seated with strangers and if you have a problem with that grab take out. The prices are great for the tasty food. 17-25 dollars. Also a set menu and price for take out. They would like for you not to use your phone, while visiting so i don't have food pictures. Also by the time i placed all my food on the plate, I was like that won't look right to snap. I will make this comment and if you know you know.. "all those church folks were leaving and i was like ooh...i cant wait to taste and come out with a smile. Please look up the website to see what they serve; because it will be different at the table every day. However, on this day we were served tender roast beef ( well done) seasoned crispy chicken and ribs. Our sides were mash, greens, green beans and not thrown out of the can, chicken casserole, corn soufflé, gravy, biscuits mac n cheese ( peach preserve) corn bread. Cole slaw ( good) and cucumber salad both teas and lemonade or this punch just delicious. pecan pie or banana pudding. So between the good food and the meeting of new people with laughter. I came out stuffed and with a smile. Also no RSVP but worth the wait. If you miss that feeling of home or just want comfort stop by to be welcomed.
