Honest Grilled Cheese
J F.

What a great old time General store. Very friendly staff too!!! Had the grilled cheese sandwich, and it was the real deal. Better than home. Good sandwiches and they had Breakfast too!! Great prices and selection. If you want a real fun time like in the 60's small town, head over and give it a try. Great drive in the countryside just pass Leiper's Fork. Love it. We will be back

I was on a historic tour of the battle of Franklin and was making my way up through Leipers Fork. I saw this place and wanted to stop. So my guide stopped. We go in and the place smells so good. Fresh deli sandwiches being made. People are ordering every kind of sandwich from breakfast sandwiches to deli sandwiches. I got a Rueben. You buy drinks from the fridge and pay for everything at the register. It's a real friendly vibe and a great country feel. The cook and workers were friendly and made good conversation. If I lived nearby I can picture myself making it a morning breakfast stop. If you are in the area and need some good food, definitely stop by!

Pancakes

Holy crap..... There are pancakes, and then there is The Davis General. Absolutely ridiculous flavor and texture. I stopped as kind of a novelty to grab a glass bottle of RC Cola... Until a patron that was closing out his check said "have your tried the pancakes"? I wasn't prepared for what I was about to encounter. I ordered two orders of pancakes to go. I love about 10 minutes away, and didn't expect "pancakes" to travel very well for the short drive home..... I was completely mistaken. These things have so much flavor, they should be illegal 5 Stars and I will be back for sure!!!

Visiting this glorious place and stumbled upon Davis General store.. where the troopers get their meals and ordinary kind folks like the store owner MS LISA LENOX helped us out with Goat Soap. I love their deli with a top-notch slab of pastrami behind the case awaits it's next meal, I love how everyone dines here including the local Troopers and I love how a gentleman stuck his credit card out and offered to pay for the 4 or so Troopers meal.. This new owner has her priorities straight and everyone's on a first name basis.. HELLO LISA LENNOX -- I'm voting for you May 3rd for Our next COUNTY COMMISSIONER..

Conveniently located to Leipers fork. Went to get a grilled cheese added a slice of tomato it was 9.50!!! I'm not a cheap ass but that's insane for this place. It's not gourmet and it's not big. When for $12 you can get a beautiful grilled cheese with Brie and apple and a side on insane fresh baked bread at 1892. So don't ever get a grilled cheese here. They charged me the same price as my husbands Ruben. (Loaded with meat) he loves this sandwich and gets one like every weekend! I skip Davis now unless he grabs me a root beer or chips. My cheese sandwich should not cost the same as his rueben. And if you order a cold sandwich with cheese tomato and lettuce it's also a rip off. (So go to the Leipers fork market and it's like $4) because your ARENT getting meat! Wild. My husband likes their hotdogs and they have Stewart's root beer and really good chips(i forget the beans) . But the 9.50 grilled cheese has me wondering how they declared that value and I stay in the car or home when he comes for the rueben lol

What a great little find. Gas station that survives as a great hand made sandwich shop. Very flexible. I had the turkey reuben. Also have gluten free bread. All handmade right in front of you on old fashioned grill

My only complaint, and it's small, would be just a little more meat on the Reuben.

Downtown

I appreciate the convenience of this Walgreens location as a downtown resident; it's nice to have…read moreone within walking distance. However, the spotty customer service makes me hesitate to recommend it at all. I've been here numerous times and experienced really rude and unprofessional service (e.g. I've personally been and seen others be judged and berated at the photo counter when picking up items "late" i.e. within a week or less of placing the order). Sometimes customer service has been nice or fine, though (e.g. one time the photo department called me when they found my photo order, which I appreciated - since when I went to pick it up the first time, they didn't find it). I return here for the location only, but I wish for a more consistently cordial (if not friendly) and efficient experience.

The Downtown Nashville Walgreens…read more In my estimation, this is the one and only Walgreens in Downtown Nashville that is accessible to Broadway. Disparate from other Walgreens that I am familiar with in major tourist centers, this location is underwhelming for alcohol and souvenirs. With regards to this review, I am using "The Daniel. S Yelp Real Time Feature" where I write from my first-hand journaling experience. "June 24, 2025: We are bound for Walgreens. Walking through the Assembly Food Hall we cut off some of the uphill climb up John Lewis Way that is bothering Dad's knees. Now walking up John Lewis Way we are passing by the historic Woolworth Theater and what looks like a Theater District. At the crest of the hill, we step inside the only downtown Nashville Walgreens. At least the only one I am familiar with near Broadway. This store is "blah" in comparison to the Walgreens that I am familiar with in major cities such as Las Vegas, Chicago, San Francisco,and Denver. Their Nashville caps are overpriced and fail to strike me. They fail to carry the bullet beer (24 ounce cans) that I want to pick up for the hotel room. However, they have cold beverages and snacks that my Dad and Brother are buying. I am headed to Starbucks for my beverage. Toi, who rings up my Dad and Brother, is a friendly and personable Cashier. When we return to the what looks like a Theater District along John Lewis Way, being empty handed of purchases allows me to photograph the Woolworth Theater." My "Real Time Yelp First-hand Feature" elucidates that the Downtown Nashville Walgreens deserves Three Stars.
