Our competent server, a really nice lady, has been at Dyer's for most, if not all, her career. She told us some great stories. I don't feel the need to write more about this place as so many other reviews have covered it. If you're anywhere in the area, just go!

What bugged me is that the patty itself wasn't seasoned, it would be much better with a little salt. Root beer float was delicious but how could you miss the mark on that.

My concerns of not having enough food were definitely misplaced. Either item would have been enough on its own. Portions are extremely generous. Bar service was quick and attentive as well. I requested the Cardinals game on the TV while I ate and the bartender was quick to attempt to put it on. Unfortunately, bar Kooky Canuck (as of 4/22/26) does not have the Cardinals mlb add on subscription for MLB.tv. In every other way, my experience was awesome! Just bummed I couldn't catch the day game during lunch.

The food is extremely tasty (and high quality) and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The owner, Shawn, is nothing short of a gem. He's friendly, has intelligence, wit, and integrity. I really messed up by not taking pictures on this one. I've had the burgers (phenomenal, regular and smash burger style) before. This time I tried the brunch menu and had, to name a few: *Poutine *French Canadian Toast *Maple Sunrise Sandwhich *Boozy Fried Bread Pudding *Eggs Benedict All of these were delicious. Small detail, but the crispy breakfast potatoes are perfect- soft on the inside and with this immaculate crisp on the outside. Next time I will certainly be getting the Waffle Monte Cristo. I love waffles.. I love Monte Cristo sandwiches.. seems like an ideal combo. A few friends and I have been in a few times now and this past trip he took us around the city. Again, I cannot say enough incredible things about he and his restaurant. Kooky even has food challenges: a 7 lb burger, a two-person 15 lb burger, and a four-person massive 25 lb burger! I've done the 25 lber and they were able to cook that burger so perfectly! Most places would undoubtedly have had the middle undercooked. Side note: Shawn has also won the "Tennessee Restaurateur of the Year" award. Yeah, he's legit. Go here. Do it. Do not deprive yourself from greatness.

I also had a side of onion rings but finished them while they were hot, and I forgot to get a picture! I also had their sweet tea and it's consistently delicious! Customer Service: The cashiers were down to earth and patient with taking my order for myself and other family members. Ambiance: It is a down-home bbq spot. Nothing super fancy here. This is a spot known for the food, not necessarily decor and flare. Definitely a spot to be casual in.

If you say I can come and get everything for free for the next year, I wouldn't. the cashier She was so rude let me describe her to you... She had twist in her head, she's an old lady. You can tell she's old and she rested her tongue on the bottom of her chin as if her tongue is stuck out her mouth. The name of my receipt is Alfreda. That was just the worst experience in my life from a place that you can tell the people that you are a first time customer and you still get the treatment like that and didn't even give a thank you when she gave me my food. It's just ridiculous a lot of Black people are like this towards one another. It's just sad.

The first night, the closed an hour earlier than the hours listed which was a bummer because we came for food and couldn't order. The second night, our group got there about 10 minutes until the kitchen closed. We did our best to get orders in as we have all worked in restaurants and know the drill but our waiter told us blatantly that the food probably wouldn't be good which was pretty insane. He vanished and didn't bring back drinks. When we asked for another server so we could get waters and beers we ordered, she explained that it was busy and which would've been fair if we weren't watching our server just flirt and chat with another table. The food runner was this places saving grace for the night. She was extremely kind and the only person who offered any real customer service. The food itself was okay. Nothing I would really recommend going out of your way to eat. Pretty bland and boring.
