    Something to Wing About--let me say this, more wings please! Any flavor, they are all good. More wing specials-yes please. No need to mention the awesome salad bar but you must try the new quesadillas....Seriously, my hat off to the chef. Although like lots of places they were short staffed & service was a little slow but our waitress/slashed bartender was simply amazing. Busy but nice, apologized for making us wait and made great drinks. Her kindness was appreciated an actually removed any frustration from waiting as it was nice to go in and sit down around others. Though the place was not packed, the bar was crowded but the atmosphere was welcoming.

    We order from this location often, and it's usually great, but this is disgusting. Ordered the full rack of ribs and it came looking like this, with just two big bones, half fat and half meat that had fallen off the two bones. Was not edible.

    Ruby Tuesday. Such a blast from my past! It's a franchise. The only Ruby Tuesday that I had ever been to before this visit was at the Mall of America years ago. I loved it so much. I returned to MOA earlier this year and it was gone. Noooo! In Nashville, I saw two of these restaurants. This one was the second-closest one from where I was staying. It was across from the Starbucks cafe that became my go-to beverage place, and a Dollar Tree that I enjoyed frequenting. I parked smack in the middle of all three businesses, under a tree. I walked into the eatery. For those who demand being greeted immediately upon entering an eatery, you will likely give this place a poor rating for service. I am probably far too patient than I should be. I stood there waiting for someone to greet me for a good eight minutes. Finally, a man came over and apologized. They were short-staffed. I could tell. All servers were walking quickly. It was a Saturday afternoon. It was an easygoing day for me. I had all the time in the world. Ah, how I miss being on vacation! He took my name down and said that the wait would be between five to ten minutes. I sat on a comfy bench between the two sets of main doors. For those who remember Ponderosa (I never went to one in Canada, but did on a road trip through New York state a few years back, heading back home), Ruby Tuesday is similar. It has a salad bar. You add that to your meal and you can load up your plate as much as you'd like. A nice woman fetched me and eventually led me to my booth. She would end up being my server. I immediately hit the salad bar after letting her know that I'd be getting the endless garden (salad) bar with a drink for $5. The salad bar was great. There were lots of veggies and some proteins (cooked egg and ham). One boy loaded his plate up with a few leafy greens and a mountain of ham, which made me smile. I loved my plate of salad, especially the beets. I got a Diet Coke as my drink. My server was attentive refilling it. I ordered the Texas duster dry ribs (half a rack) and sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I was hungry. A combination of ribs and steak intrigued me and my tastebuds. It didn't take long for my food to arrive. I was happy looking at everything. The Texas duster dry ribs were delicious. They were so tender and had the best dry rub that I have had on ribs in a long time. My sirloin was done medium-well. Yum! It was nicely seasoned and cooked as indicated. I loved it. I found the mashed potatoes comforting. The broccoli was perfectly done. Not hard. Not mushy. Just right. I miss this entree. I'm salivating. I want it for dinner now! Although I came here a day before my birthday, I celebrated early by getting the chocolate lava cake. It also didn't take all that long to come to me. The cake was moist. Sadly, the volcano of chocolate was dormant and there was no lava. I don't know if it's because Nashville was super hot that lava doesn't exist or the place simply didn't do it right with this lava cake. It still tasted good. I loved the vanilla ice cream with the crunchy chocolate bits on top of my cake. Delish! I paid with a credit card at my table. I tipped and tapped. It was a smooth transaction. Pack your patience coming here on weekends. I had a great meal and experience once I got a server. (315)

    Grilled Chicken Carbonara

    I've been to this location several times. Each visit is always on a Saturday and they're always few people. There's always the one server being the hostess and waiting in the entire restaurant. (Which obviously isn't an issue since it's so dead) Grilled chicken carbonara was delicious. Salmon salad bowl good. It's a little spicy. The best part of the salad bar is the croutons. I love Ruby Tuesday's salad bar. Some of the lettuce was brown. Make sure you stick with the arugula. It always seems to be the most fresh. A few of the ingredients probably shouldn't be in the bar ask they're a little past "expiration". Some of the ingredients just are not as fresh as they should be. I was pretty pissed about the coconut shrimp appetizer. $12.99 and you get 5 pieces. FIVE! It wasn't specific in the menu and I probably should have asked. On top of that, they where pretty mushy and not very tasty.

    This was honestly one of the most authentic and memorable local food experiences my family has had…read morein the US. My parents are visiting America for the very first time -- literally their first time outside China -- and I wanted to take them somewhere that felt truly local, not a chain restaurant or tourist spot. Get Your Grub On was exactly that kind of place. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming. You can immediately feel that this is real homemade cooking -- not "corporate restaurant food." Watching him work in the kitchen and smelling the food coming out fresh honestly made the whole place feel like a true American Southern "farmhouse/local comfort food" experience. We ordered the fried chicken, catfish trio, and chicken pasta. The fried chicken was AMAZING: * perfectly crispy outside * juicy inside * smelled incredible the moment it came out But the real surprise was the catfish. It was unbelievably tender -- literally melt-in-your-mouth soft while still fresh and flavorful. Easily some of the best catfish I've ever had. Portion sizes were HUGE too. Three people ate for around $70 and we were completely full. Yes, the seasoning is definitely Southern-style and a bit salty for some Asian tastes, but even my parents -- who are completely Chinese and very familiar with authentic Chinese cuisine -- still genuinely enjoyed the food and kept talking about how good and unique the experience was. That says a lot. This place feels like the kind of hidden local restaurant that makes traveling meaningful. Not fancy. Not trendy. Just real people making real food with heart. Highly recommended if you want authentic local Southern comfort food and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.

    Never a disappointment when I pullup to Get Ya Grub On. Good people. Good vibes. Good environment…read more Darell always looks out for his customers.

We were seated…read moresurprisingly quickly - 25 min - even though live music and local vendors out back signaled a long wait. When our server Erica took our drink order and left QR codes for the menu, I quietly looked at my daughter in law and said with a grin, "I hate these. I like to hold a real menu." Although I said it quietly, our server must have caught my look because without a beat, she returned a second later with menus and said winking, "I like a real menu, too." It was subtle and intentional and set the tone for a perfect meal. I told her, "we are reading Will Guidara's Unreasonable Hospitality, and you just modeled it." She told us it's one of hers and her husband's favorite books! Our street corn nachos were delicious as well as great salsa and chips, and each of us was super happy with our taco choices. Highly recommend the brisket, featuring a horseradish cream, and the shrimp as well as the fish tacos. One small note: the flavors in my Brussels sprout taco were fantastic, but the veggies themselves were a bit tough. My tamarind margarita was SPOT ON with a perfectly generous tajin rim and dried lime slice. Food was well-timed even with a packed house. Even when the beans added on by one of our party were way too spicy for her palate, our server offered an alternative without missing a beat. In summary, a hoppin' local spot with great service and delicious food, along with a community feel. 100% recommend!

I'm always looking for a place to eat in Donelson before my Wednesday bowling league, and this fit exactly what I was craving. Local, Mexican-inspired food, dedicated parking lot, easy to get in & out quickly. The parking lot was quite popping tonight, and I did have to loop through it a couple of times to find a spot even though it is pretty spacious. A place that's been open since 2017 and is still this busy on a Wednesday is a good sign. This is part coffee shop, part restaurant, so there are two different doors. I inadvertently went through the coffee shop one and they redirected me to the restaurant side, no problem at all. I was able to be seated at a table with no wait. My waitress came right over with water and a menu, and I was clear with her that I had about a half hour before I needed to leave. She quickly took my order, giving me recommendations when I asked for advice and was torn between a couple of different things. The menu is large and reasonably priced with a very wide selection of drinks. This isn't the most authentic Mexican food, but man is it tasty. Lots of fresh ingredients and so much flavor, a real crowd pleaser for dietary restrictions and picky eaters! I was torn between chips and queso and a burrito, so it was to my benefit that the chicken burrito comes with a side of chips and salsa, and paying a small upcharge to swap in queso meant I got all of the things I was craving in one order. Pinto beans, guacamole, chipotle aioli, and rice all packed in and put on the griddle so you get that nice sear. There's an option to add a cheese skirt to the burrito that I skipped this time but would absolutely come back for. The chips were thin and crispy, the queso hot and delicious, and I couldn't have asked for more at the price. The burrito is $11 on its own and with the chicken and my upcharge I came to about $19 with tax, plus tip. When the waitress brought my food she also brought my check and a box so I could take the other half to go and get everything out of the way. In and out in thirty minutes with food that was hot, fresh, and super delicious. The service here really goes the extra mile. Easy for a solo diner, easy for a group, and easy to just walk in for a quick meal. My only small gripe is that they may still be too popular for their parking lot, which should be slightly bigger. They've also got an interesting set of coffee and matcha drinks and a brunch menu I'd love to come back for. This is a hidden gem, and I hope locals keep showing up for the great places we already have instead of only chasing whatever just opened!

Their specialty is craft beer and pizza, and they I typically go for both of those when here. On a recent visit for a quick dinner, I wanted something a bit lighter because I had to go play bowling after and tried a menu item that's always intrigued me: the blueberry chicken sandwich on their house made panuozzo bread. I expected this would be like a chicken salad but the waitress said it came hot and melty, and I was in the mood for a risk. And man did the risk pay off, this sandwich was one of my favorite things I've eaten all month! It comes hot and melty with a house made pesto, blueberry compote, fontina, and thin pieces of chicken, perfectly cooked. The panuozzo bread is almost as if you made naan out of pizza dough, and it keeps everything nicely contained without making the sandwich too bready. The flavors are unexpected but work so, SO well together - truly a work of genius. I paired it with their shake shake fries, which have an awesome seasoning (not spicy, just adds flavor) and a Diet Coke. Service was so kind and helpful, even on a busy Wednesday night. I was able to get in and out within 40 minutes, which was a win for the time crunch I was in but I still felt relaxed to eat my sandwich at my leisure. I love it the level of consistency in quality and service here after so many years - I truly always know I'm guaranteed to have a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere with helpful servers every time I come. Nice dedicated parking lot in back is just an added bonus to the overall experience here!
