    Cheese burger with roasted potatoes
    Michele B.

    This is a cute little restaurant right outside Tennessee tech College. First time here. Nice place. However the service was very slow !. We waited about 10 mins or so before we were even noticed. ( only because I flaged down a waitress, and we went during lunch time.) But the food , well made up for the slow service. I had a cheeseburger and roasted potatoes. And it was soo good!! . Over all, it we were out with Friends, and had nothing better to do than to sit there all day , I would go back. But if u are looking to get in and out for a nice lunch, we'll u might be there a while.. would have given 5 stars if service was faster, and noticed us when we first got there.

    Drinks....still waiting on dinner an hour after ordering.

    Local eatery. Food was mediocre, nothing too special nor noteworthy. The service was slow, we waited a bit over an hour for our meal. Had we known we would be waiting that long for our order to arrive, we would have left.

    This pains me! I was so excited to try this place. Cookeville needs a nice cocktail place, and 1854…read morehas great potential. But it's not there yet. To be fair, this review is only for NYE. I would not recommend this place for NYE. They had an extremely limited menu that was not published beforehand. If it had been, we wouldn't have gone. There were several gin drinks, one bourbon, and one mocktail you could add vodka to. That's all. You couldn't order any other drinks. We hate gin. So we stuck with the bourbon cocktail. It was 0% consistent. They said it was a batch, but every drink we had tasted different. Maybe the mix wasn't mixed well. Not the end of the world. It was still a decent drink. What was terrible is that only half way through service they ran out of the drink and would not make more. They said they were saving the rest for the next seating. So we were left with no drink options we liked. That's a big deal when you've *bought tickets* to be there. So we paid to be at a bar where we weren't given access to anything we liked and weren't told this would be the case when we bought the tickets. You have a whole bar there. Come up with another drink on the fly to replace the one you're out of. After several people complained, the bartenders said they would pour bourbon neat or on the rocks. Yeah, I can do that at home for free. If you are going to make people pay for access to an extremely limited menu make sure you don't run out of the key ingredients. The snacks were good and decently plentiful, but they weren't worth the ticket price (sushi that was not on ice, cheese, meat, fruit, crackers, deviled eggs, cookies) Would I come back? I'd like to give it another try only because Cookeville needs a place like this. If this was in another city, I wouldn't be back.

    Love Hooligans! I'm…read moreso glad that the team there provides a space that is 21-and-up only here in town. There are very few of those around here, that you will find. The selection of beers and liquors here, and the recipe knowledge of the bartenders, will leave you unable to decide what to order! Lots of craft beers and unusual brands and flavors available. They do serve food here, and have a full kitchen. Their menu is typical bar fare mixed with a few surprises. My favorite thing here is their French dip sandwich, it's absolutely superb. There's lots of space to sit, lots of TV, a music player available to all, and lots of locals to chat with. Once again, the team who runs this place is definitely doing something right and I salute them.

Unfortunately, smoking is still allowed inside which sucks. However, it wasn't that bad in here. Ventilation must be pretty good in here. Server was very good. Neat that they had a real Irish accent. No BS here. Got the baked Cod and broccoli. It was pretty good. It comes over rice. Pretty loud inside but it's a sports bar so that's normal. Sound system was decent. Walked out and there was a guy breaking into a car. We watched for a minute or two. He gets in and starts diving under the steering wheel to get the wires out. Sooooo don't park out front.

    Great little bar, amazing food, and stand-out service! We were looking for a place to eat late…read moreSunday night and every local place in town that WAS open after 10pm, wasn't serving food. We walk into Spankie's (questionable name, but really good apparently according to locals haha), and the bartender suggests 19th Hole ("Really good burgers!" He yells as we walk out, excited to have found SOMEwhere local to eat that was open late. We get there and are greeted by the friendly bartender, who immediately waves us three girls over to the bar, and says sit wherever with the best news of the night: "We serve food until 2am." Even though he was the only person running the bar and booths, we had fast, friendly service the whole night. And the food! I had the Smokehouse burger, with house made sauce (unfortunately they don't sell it in bottles; I asked) and fries. Everything was cooked perfectly. The other two girls had the wings and the Cuban sandwich. Everything was on point. We'll definitely be back if we make our way back to Cookeville!
