I was hangry after driving back to TN from Augusta, GA. During my drive, I couldn't stop thinking…read moreabout fried chicken. I've heard people talking about eating Raising Cane's and how good their chicken tenders were. I've never tried them before and didn't realize that they only serve tenders. I like tenders, but I was craving fried chicken(bone in). It was late, around 8:45pm and I went to the drive through and ordered the first combo(bummed about no bone in). It had a catchy name for it, but I forget. Pulled up to the window and received courteous and fast service. They advertise as every order is freshly prepared. Since I received my order so quickly, I was anticipating something left on the warmer. Boy was I wrong! I opened the corner of my takeout box and felt around for a tender and that sucker was hot! What a nice surprise to see the meat steaming after a bite. It came with some bread and my hungry butt shoved that big tender into the bread and had the best sammie while I finished driving to my destination. I ate the rest of the fries and slaw and 2 more tenders after I got there and all that hot and delicious food was worth the stop. I would definitely recommend this place if you're a chicken tenders fan. I really wasn't a big fan until I had some of Raising Cane's. Good, hot, freshly prepared, and super fast.

Big shout out to the folks working at Raising Cane's today. I placed an order at the drive-through…read morewindow. I got the three finger combo with french fries and Coke Zero. Service was prompt and friendly. My order was accurate. The tenders and french fries were nice and hot. I really like enjoying the cane's sauce with the tenders. If the fries had been just a teeny bit more crispy and would've been even better. I like the fact that they have a double drive-through. This probably helps with those busy lunch breaks. This restaurant is a little newer, and the inside is always clean. For future reference, I'll need to remember to ask for ketchup, thankfully I had some in my truck. Also, I think I'll get a side of their slaw and extra cane's sauce. Overall very good!!

My wife has a sunflower allergy and we inquired about their use of any sunflower products in their cooking. Well our waitress had asked the owner AJ and after a few minutes he came out and what he said surprised me. He had called the former owner and asked if anything they sold had sunflower in it and had even called the manufacturer of the buns and his distributer to see if there was anything that had potentially used any sunflower products but he hadn't heard back from them as of yet. AJ went above and beyond to check on an allergy. That means a lot to those of us that have allergies. So I feel like they should be considered allergy friendly. Thank you AJ keep up the great work and our meal was fabulous.

I got 6 wings, fries and fried okra for $18. Wings had the 'smack ya momma' seasoning. Unfortunately, she wasn't nearby to test their claim. A pretty small menu, but that's how you know it's gonna be good. Personally I would love to see them add chicken legs as an option. Staff were cordial and the wait time was reasonable. I was right after a group of nerds so pretty fast considering. They actually accept cash which was nice.

I enjoy hot (Spicey) chicken, so I ordered their next to hottest dry rub spice with fries. The food came out hot and I was not disappointed. The chicken was tender and juicy and perfectly prepared. The spice was not overwhelming and was very flavorful. However if you like very spicy chicken I would suggest ordering the hottest spice. I was easily able to eat all four pieces without feeling like I had become a blowtorch. The servers were very friendly and kept the food moving quickly without a long wait. Overall, a very good dining experience!

Then I remembered American Café, and I'm glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the service was phenomenal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. The burgers were superb--cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and made with quality ingredients you could actually taste. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. It's not a fancy or upscale restaurant, but if you appreciate great food made right and served with a smile, this is the place to go. American Café definitely earned a new pair of regular customers. The next time I'm in the mood for a burger, I know exactly where I'm going.

Fried Tater Cafe is not that place. This is the kind of restaurant you hope to stumble across somewhere outside of town. An old building, a little history, straightforward Southern food and people who seem considerably more concerned with whether you ate enough than whether their plates are Instagram-ready. And then there are the fried taters. Crispy, salty, unapologetically fried potatoes--the sort of food that reminds you mankind occasionally gets things exactly right. Nobody needed to deconstruct them. Nobody needed to drizzle truffle oil over them. They needed hot grease, seasoning and somebody in the kitchen who knows when to pull them out. The rest of the food follows the same philosophy: familiar, filling and comforting. This isn't a place trying to reinvent Southern cooking. Thank God. It's trying to feed you. The old building and its history make the whole thing even better. You sit there eating fried potatoes and realize people have been passing through this little corner of Tennessee for generations. Places like this increasingly disappear, replaced by chains and developments that could be anywhere in America. Fried Tater Cafe still feels like somewhere. Come hungry. Order the taters. Don't count calories. You'll survive. Five stars.

Date of Visit: July 2, 2026…read more On this afternoon my wife wanted to take me on a country drive after an overwhelming day in Murfreesboro the day before. Murfreesboro used be an easy navigable town, not no more, so many people. So off we went. Heading out towards Chapel Hill we came up the Fried Tater Cafe. After yesterday (if your following) I needed something authentic to the area and this looked the part. We both agreed to stop. Walked inside and I knew right away this going to be great. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere. Nice. Found a booth against the wall and were given menus and drink orders taken. Drinks came while still viewing the menu. I almost wanted a burger but chose the patty melt with coleslaw. I was going to have fries but they have those Checkers type fries. My wife had the BLT with Tots and after having a couple of her tots I should of had the tots. My wife even agrees, these are the best tots she has ever had and she has tots when ever offered. These had the crispy outside that you can bite into without crushing and fluffy innerds mmmmm. But getting back to my patty melt. The menu said it came with thousand island dressing. I would usually hold the TI, but now I'm in a phase where I order with no substitutions. So I took it with the Thousand island. And so glad I did, it did something to it. Don't know if everyone does this but wow. And the slaw was good too, though I wish I had gotten the tots, next time tots. The wife and I will be back here next time in town for sure, if just for the drive. Peace.
