Gorgonzola grilled chicken, pomegranate brisket and acorn squash entrees

If I could, I would give Thompson's Kitchen 10 stars! From the service to the dessert and EVERYTHING in between was quite honestly the best of the best of the best! The welcoming old charm meets 2025 was inviting and comfortable . The shrimp dip and halloumi appetizers were delicious! The gorgonzola grilled chicken, pomegranate brisket and acorn squash entrees were packed with fabulous flavor, aesthetically beautiful and served in hearty quantities. And the dessert.....! The bread pudding with fresh whipped cream was an eye-rolling, melt in your mouth, can't get enough delicacy! Fantastic chef! All of the above wonderful-ness was topped by Stacey... the absolutely kindest man to ever provide restaurant hospitality. From his culinary knowledge of the menu, his professional attentiveness to our table and his kind, gentle personal interactions left us with a mind blown experience! If you haven't experienced The Thompson's Kitchen, you haven't experienced excellence. Very, very well done gentlemen.

Pumpkin Martini

This is our second time here! We are down from Indianapolis. Mallory was our server and she was well beyond a 10/10. We had the Rainbow Trout Special, Pomegranate Brisket and the app Pimento Cheese Puffs. I had the pumpkin martini and the sangria. Everything was a 10/10. Looking forward to our next Nashville visit.

Sweet potato cake

First off- the good- I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE most of everything I've tried here. However, I just came back from a lunch here with my husband. We both got water, a salad and an entree each. Our bill was $75 for lunch before tip and we were STILL HUNGRY.... I'm a thin 37 year old female. I don't eat a lot normally. I shouldn't pay $37.50 for just food and leave still hungry. I didn't even get meat! Why such small portions ?!?!?

Burger with Pimento Cheese, Bacon Jam, Comeback Sauce and chips
Cissy W.

Thompsons Kitchen has been in this spot a little over 2 years. I had been to this location previously when it was another establishment and the interior is basically the same. Server was friendly and efficient. I ordered the Burger, which comes with a nice dollop of Pimento cheese, Bacon Jam, Comeback Sauce, add some pickles and serve it on a nice bun, accompanied by a bag of chips: but they were hen of the woods sea salt, nicely flavored chips! The burger was cooked perfectly and that Bacon Jam worked so well with the pimento cheese. Since it was an occasion, we splurged for dessert and ordered the Kahlua Chocolate cake with a Coulis of Strawberry and Blackberry, that worked well with the cake and the whipped cream. Definitely making a return trip here!

Boozy chocolate brownie with raspberry gelato.

Had a most wonderful lunch at The Thompsons Kitchen! Impeccable service, warm and inviting staff and atmosphere. The entire space is so beautifully and cleverly decorated with repurposed doors, windows, panels, antique cash register... Then there is the menu! It was difficult to select just one entree! They are very knowledgeable about Celiac disease and the restrictions. Almost everything on the menu could be modified. I had their stuffed winter squash and tasted some of the shrimp tacos. Both were exceptionally delicious and beautifully presented. Desert was a boozy chocolate brownie with raspberry gelato! Obviously I recommend this place highly and I will certainly be back several times to try everything on their menu!

The Brisket
Glen F.

Wow-you gotta try this place. It's the authentic local experience you cannot find anymore. We were there on a Saturday evening for a special occassion and we had a truly remarkable experience. Homey, yet sophisticated. Family-friendly, yet great for a date night. Creative and crafty and comforting all at once. I started with the Prsociutto Fig salad, which was both light and hearty, and also rich and flavorful. Creamy goat cheese, sweet figs, and savory prosciutto combine to make for a wonderful start to the meal. You won't go wrong with any of the entrees...seven people, seven choices, everyone very pleased. I had the Kaluha Pig with Johnny Cake, which looks diminuative when it arrives, but will take you down. It's a great option if smoky flavors are what you seek. Alternatively, the brisket is a great option if you want a sweet, savory, delicious combination. As for desserts, yes. Don't dither about it, get what appeals and end on a high note. We had practically every option among us, and they were all epic--lemon curd, brownie tower, bread pudding, apple crisp. Being a Saturday night, there was also live music. In our case, a jazz trio, which provided a wonderful soundtrack to a very memorable evening.

Lady yum-yum! So refreshing

Thompson Kitchen for the win! Always scrumptious, cocktails to die for. A hidden gem in Fairview Tn. It's just amazing every single time!
