Struggling with the stars. The young woman who took our order was very sweet and I watched her be…read morevery patient with two teen guys before me. But the food honestly wasn't not good. Sorry! 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!

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).

Steak had a nice crispy breading and the balance of breading to meat was perfect. Then the gravy was amazing. So tasty and so much!!!! Then the fries were so crunchy and seasoned perfect with their season salt. The coleslaw was nice a sweet tasting, kind of how KFC used to make their slaw but this was better!!! Washed it all down with freshly brewed sweet tea. This was exactly what I was craving and for sure I will be back to it this exact meal again!!!!

Wow...I wish I could give zero stars. Don't get me wrong the food was phenomenal and the cook was…read morevery nice! He should take his skills to a new restaurant, however. The service was beyond horrible. Get ready because here is a LONG list of all that was wrong: 1. My drink was not what I ordered. I ordered earl grey and they gave me a coffee...I hate coffee. 2. We had a party of four and our food and drinks were served all scattered: some would get their drinks (after 45 minutes of waiting) and some would already get their food. Why did it not come at the same time? 3. We all got our food at different times, and some didn't get their drink until 25 minutes after their food. We had a lovely group of girls who came before us and had yet to get ANY drinks or food (they order water mind you) 4. We had absolutely no silverware even when the food came and when we got it they were soaking wet. We tried explaining this to the owner and she said "well I run my restaurant differently" 5. The server was very rude and seemed annoyed when we asked for simple requests 6. When the server brought sugar as we requested it was practically empty 7. The "owner" (I don't know if I can even call her that as she was EXTREMELY unprofessional) came over to ask us what was wrong because she overheard us complaining and we listed all of our recommendations kindly and she proceeded to give a list of excuses. She also said that she "runs" a restaurant differently than what we would when we stated we have worked in restaurants before and this is not how it is done. She rudely walked away as we were explaining our issues. That's not all. When one of us said "Clearly you don't know how to run one" under our breath she ran back and screamed across the restaurant "What did you just say about me" directly to one of us who did not even say it. This is extremely unprofessional for an owner. You should always respect customers even when they are being a pain. Trust me, I have been a server and you will always have difficult customers but you ALWAYS treat them with respect and never lose your temper. All in all, I will NEVER be back and hope this "owner" becomes more responsible and respectful towards her customers. It is a beautiful establishment that just needs better management. (p.s it was the wife)

It took a long time to get drinks, They charge $2 for the smallest glass of water and don't ask you to refill, you have to ask. The food took a very long time, but they were pretty busy in Sunday morning so they get a pass there. The servers were less than friendly. Dropped our food, one kind lady did check on use as we finished we were waiting for a lemonade $8!) and the server checked on all the tables around us to see if the needs anything and completely ignored us! What's up with that?! I'd go back for the food and maybe give them another chance in the service.
