We ended up here by mistake while meeting our son and his girlfriend in Crossville. Our original…read moremeeting spot was a different restaurant but their dog threw up in their car so they pulled into this parking lot. After dealing with the dog we checked the reviews and they were good so we decided to stay here and eat. We all really enjoyed our breakfasts. I got the breakfast with biscuits and gravy, even though she said they don't make the biscuits in house. It was very good. I also got grits and scrambled eggs. My husband got 2 eggs over easy with English muffins, bacon and grits. Our son got the breakfast with pancakes. The service was excellent and the interior was cute. Our server was really nice but I can't remember her name.

Make you wanna slap your Mama!…read more Now... before you say "it's only biscuits and gravy." You should know that I Love Biscuits and Gravy. Read my reviews and you'll see that B&G is a frequent mention, especially when I travel away from home. And if there was a Mount Rushmore for B&G, I'm would put Family Ties' up on it... right next to Mom's Restaurant in Franklin, Ohio (formerly located in Red Lion). , Small order for $4.95. Large for $5.95. I added two eggs over easy. This is 2026 pricing! The plate came out looking unassuming. I ordered a small plate which is one open face biscuit with plenty of Gravy on top. (I didn't take a pic because I was in the small booth next to what I assume is the back door. The sun was casting shadows so I missed a great photo op). Looks are deceiving. This is some seriously good stuff. So simple but Sooooooo Good. Please don't ever change this recipe. I will be back!

It would have been nice to have had "melted" cheese on my burger and a "real" lemon slice instead of a craft of imitation lemon juice on the table. Drove from Cookeville because we were looking forward to it. Menu is so down sized that you won't believe it's a Shoney's. Bar food looked dry and unappetizing. Won't be back.

Everything was fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor, and the dark coffee was strong, hot, and really satisfying... at least I thought so. The chill atmosphere is artsy, bohemian, and inviting, with a relaxed neighborhood coffeehouse feel. One thing to know is that you order at the bar rather than having someone come to your table. It was easy enough, but it is helpful to know ahead of time. By 9:00 a.m., there was already a long line of people placing orders, which I guess says a lot about how popular this place could be. If you want a table, definitely come early! We had a great experience and hope to return again soon when I'm back in this part of Tennessee again! Thanks for the memories!!

The sandwich was fresh and delicious, and the cold brew was smooth and exactly what I was looking for.

We loved the atmosphere and vintage Crossville photos on the walls…read more The coffee is weak, gravy is a mix with no fat added so it tastes flat, the waffle was undercooked and doughy, and the hash browns were undercooked. We both agreed the best part was the eggs, bacon and country steak. The biscuits were huge and we were both served 2 with our meals which is a plus. I want this place to do better but it was a flag that there was a "cook wanted" sign on the door. If they get an experienced short order cook, I'm sure they can flourish as they have in the past. I know this is a local favorite and I'm willing to try it again but not for breakfast unless they have a different cook. Maybe I went wrong in not having an omelette which has been given good reviews. Sorry Kali's but I had high expectations from previous reviews.

It started as a goat soap shop and now is expanded to have lots of amazing items as well as drinks, baked goods and sourdough sandwiches.

We also were fortunate to buy some sourdough to take home. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is chill and yet refined. We went often and enjoyed seeing the goats and interacting with them a bit. It is a great spot for a coffee, baked good or food plus some soaps and other items. Definitely worth a stop!

We have come here for 3 years to this 50's inspired place.

The new owner, new attitude has made this a fantastic spot now. The burgers are hot and juicy, fries are hot and perfect and the cheese steak, amazing. The other big improvement is the service. We have had 7 different servers stop at our table to see if we needed anything. The servers clearly operate as a team approach, not individual. We talked to the manager and she explained her training process and it's all about service! The burgers are now hand formed and cooked an a flat top, not in the press. Great experience, worthy of a stop!
