    This place is like walking in to your granny's kitchen. The food they serve is just like your momma or grandmas food, desserts included. I have tried several of their entrees and desserts and highly recommend anything on the menu. The only BAD thing about this place is they are just 5 minutes from my house. The service it top notch and they servers as well as cooks are friendly. The place gets really elbow to elbow at high lunch but, more than likely it someone's elbow you know or have rubbed up against at a prior visit. The takeaway here is if you are in "The Glade" come on and seat down and eat a great meal. And definitely order the hot fudge cake.

    Highly recommend getting this sandwich at this small local spot. Service is always friendly and spot on.

    The Glade Diner serves great southern food in a small crossroads town outside Nashville. An overworked server is engaging and magically gets everything done. A basic dining area is decorated with great care. When you want to leave you go right up to the cashier who has your tab on record. Top notch flavors on all the dishes. (Yes, I ate my vegetables.) An entire shelving unit is dedicated to sauces and toppings to accompany your meal. Parking in front is limited, go through the alley and there is parking in back. Bonus tip: take your receipt next door to the ice cream/coffee shop (discount) for a treat if you don't have a desert with your dinner.

    Quick service and delicious food! I got the fried chicken salad which was a good portion for a good price, and all the ingredients were fresh. It was busy at lunch hour and there a good number of tables but get there early because otherwise you might wait!

    Very small but that gives the place a warm and friendly feel. Our server was excellent and the food came out hot and fresh. There is a large choice of burgers and sandwiches along with entrees and daily specials. Prices are good and we will be returning whenever we can. It's definitely worth getting off the interstate and checking out.

    The small diner in Gladeville had a nice local feel to it. Return customers that exchanged hugs, great casual service and lots of conversations. I ordered the cheeseburger with fries. The meal came out within 10 minutes and looked very good. Good amount of fries that had a splash of pepper and some kick to them. They looked good and tasted great. The cheeseburger was about a 1/3 lb patty, but was slightly pink and was moist. The fixings were plentiful and tasted fresh. The bun was moist and brioche style so it had a nice look and texture. For a 1/3 lb patty, it was a solid meal. I give them a solid 4 stars and it was worth the 40 minute drive.

    Visited The Glade Diner in Gladeville, TN for the first time. Ordered the Patty Melt with fries. Both were wonderful. The burger was perfectly grilled and served hot. A friend ordered the philly cheesesteak which also looked delicious. A small family diner with friendly staff, a casual atmosphere, and of course, delicious and reasonably priced food. I'll be back!

    The food was delicious! Hamburger steak with gravy, onions & mushrooms, mac and cheese, turnip greens, fried okra and corn bread. The okra could've been fried just a tad less, it was kind of crunchy, but overall it was all still delicious! Cute little restaurant, very country like. Reason for the 3 stars and not 5 stars is I literally felt like the unwelcomed step child here. The server never came over to my table after delivering my meal. At first I was the only customer and then a regular came in and sat down. The server sat down with what I believe was maybe the husband of the cook and she started eating. They sat at the table next to the regular customer and just started chatting. The cook (maybe owner) came over and started chatting with them as well. I literally felt like I was sitting at a family gathering where I wasn't invited. It was a very unwelcomed and awkward feeling. I would still recommend this place for the food, but with a warning about service not being what one would expect from a small comfy looking place like this.

    Meat and Two diner with daily specials (weekdays only). Not open for breakfast. Pretty good comfort food.

    Great happy hour two for one beers double pours on wine. Best fish and chips in Nashville and on…read moreTuesday two for one pizzas

    Visiting my daughter, I treated them to dinner and this place was within walking distance…read more We ordered cocktails and our food choices were: Spinach dip - underwhelming, lacked flavor. French Onion soup (cup) - the smallest cup of soup I have ever seen, but my daughter found it lacked the deep, rich, meaty flavor synonymous with French Onion soup and left half of it. Fish tacos - fish to tortilla ratio was on point. The fish tacos were well dressed and the cabbage add a nice crunch. This entree was 10x better than those starters. Bam Bam shrimp - had some crispy texture even though covered in the sauce. It was a solid dish and everyone finished it off. Sides- onion rings and fries. These were standard fare. Shrimp scampi flatbread - did not come out hot and quite flabby. We decided the kitchen was having a bad night. The cocktails were fine, so the bartender was having a better night. The service was quite slow but it was a busy night, so understandable as my daughter and I both worked as servers while in college. There is many parking opportunities here as this restaurant is surrounded by other retail stores and restaurants. I included the receipt in my pictures because I want you to know about the "hospitality fee". I find this disturbing practice is increasing. In my opinion, this practice is deceptive. It makes me believe the owners or corporate office is not paying their employees what they are worth. As a former waitress during my younger years, this will only make patrons reduce the waitresses tip if they are not bold enough to have it removed. I did not see this at the time we were finishing up as we were talking and just trying to get out of the restaurant. I did not see it listed on the menu either, although most restaurants that partake in this deception has it listed in very small print somewhere on the menu. I just avoid these restaurants in Vegas - but never thought Mt. Juliet restaurants would adapt such a practice. Lesson learned.
