We stopped in after reading reviews and had a day planned at Henry Horton State Park. I ordered the waffle with bacon and hash browns. My mom ordered a western omelet with hash browns and toast. My waffle was cold and looked like it was cooked on a waffle maker that needed to be cleaned. There were black specks everywhere. These same specks were also on my bacon. The waffle was very soft and was cut in four with pieces that had fallen off when taken off the waffle maker. Unfortunately the hashbrowns were not edible. Perhaps if I had ketchup but I couldn't get past the strange taste. My mom's omelet was very cheesy-that's good but the meat was not cut in small pieces before being added to the omelet. She had the same potatoes and yeah still not good. Honestly we threw most of our meal away. Whomp whomp cuz we normally love small family businesses.

I frequent both locations, but probably Tollgate more often when I'm alone. The original location is my MIL's fave tho so we often visit to sit and chat. The modern and spacious vibe at both WS locations is diff than the other local shops (Awaken, Goat) that while have good offerings try to fit overwhelming coffee traffic and work/study/visit touchdowns into heritage historic houses that don't meet the space needs. And of course like most locals, WS is less commercial (and quieter) than the big chain shops. Still tops!

Awesome local coffee shop with great drinks and tasty casual food at a low price. Along with the…read morecoffee, the breakfast sandwiches and the bagels really stand out. The shop is a wonderful place to just casually hang out or get a quick drink to go. Staff is friendly and personable, while the shop is clean and neatly organized. I highly recommend this White Shepherd Coffee shop or the other location in Thompson Station.

Happened upon this place while passing through -- blink and you'll miss it. First impressions from…read morethe parking lot don't say much, but once inside I was greeted with genuine Southern hospitality from who I assume was the owner and his family. They offered me a free glazed donut since it was my first visit, and it was superb -- soft, perfectly glazed, clearly handmade, and not full of air like Krispy Kreme donuts. I asked for recommendations and was pointed to the honey buns since they were out of their other best sellers. I ordered a honey bun and a maple éclair. The honey bun was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The éclair was cream-filled with maple glaze and absolutely delightful. The filling was a little too sweet for my personal taste (I'm not big on super sweet desserts), but that's not a knock on the place. In my opinion, about half the filling with that maple glaze would be perfect -- and adding bacon would take it over the top. They also appear to serve lunch, which looked very appetizing. I was there strictly for donuts this time, but I'll definitely be back to try it if the food is anything like the pastries. All in all, this place is a hidden gem. I highly recommend giving them a try if you're in the area -- you won't be disappointed. It's always great to support local businesses over corporate chains with half the quality. Give these guys a shot.

Saw a post on Facebook that stated this was one of the best known restaurants in Tennessee. That it…read moreis crowded all the time and people will travel hours to eat here. After my experience, I think the statements are a bit exaggerated, although I do give it high marks. The name Grindstone cowboy is a nice play on words. First, they are a coffeeshop with a bar and deli type items, so grindstone fits well with the title. Grindstone Cowboy is a nice play on Rhinestone Cowboy, the song by Glen Campbell in the 1970s. The western feel of the restaurant complements the name. There is also a vintage store attached to the restaurant/bar for those who happen to like a little shopping with their meal. I had the BLT and she had the chicken salad sandwich. I will say I am not a huge fan of chicken salad, but I could eat this one (would not be tops on my list, but I could do it). The BLT was very nice. I added avocado and don't regret that decision. I thought the bread and bacon choice was on point. A heirloom tomato would have popped this up another notch. Overall, enjoyed it. I do feel the pricing is a bit high for a small town diner. Perhaps it is as popular as the social media post suggested? I did pay in cash to avoid the 4% credit card fee. Would I return? I would not go out of my way to get back here, but if I was passing through, I would certainly consider another go if I was in the mood for a sandwich.

The Stubborn Mule has been one of our go to restaurants ever since they opened. I don't know why I…read morehaven't posted a review before, but I have yet to get a bad meal in the years we've gone there. My all- time favorite item is the banana bread pancakes. The pancakes are huge, with mashed bananas in the batter and a heap of candied walnuts on top. It literally CANNOT be any better. I probably have these pancakes 90% of the time I eat here, because I love them so much. I have had a number of their other breakfasts (All American Breakfast, Chicken fried steak, etc.) and they were great. I am just addicted to the Banana Bread Pancakes. My wife has had many of their other items, and she is always very happy with her selections. I just don't believe there is a bad selection on their entire menu. The owners (Gary and Lorraine (sp?) are extremely friendly, as are the rest of their staff. It is always an enjoyable experience eating there. All in all, this is a great place to go for breakfast or lunch. We probably would go there even more often, but sometimes we think about it too late in the day (they are only open until 2pm).

It took me so long to decide what to get because everything looked amazing. Thankfully they have tasty flights throughout the drink and food menus, so I was able to have it all!

Everything has a homey, sweet feel that makes you want to go home and redecorate, or just stay and keep eating their delicious food and feeling the good vibes!!
