If dining in, just know it's a small location with five tables, providing seating for 20 people. The location stays busy, so there might not be seating and there could be a wait. Again, they are usually busy so keep this in mind. The wings are always great. The fries are okay, I prefer the voodoo fries if I'm getting them as a side.

Best Pizza in Cookeville. Service was prompt and no issues…read morewith the server. Ambiance was questionable. Just a suggestion: since Tuesday's seem to be a slow night, maybe you could attract a more mixed aged crowd with music other than head banging or heavy metal. From 5:30 pm to 6:45, I think you only had one couple come in for pizza. There was one at the bar. Not my favorite music. I know you are across from TTec. But a variety of music could attract other patrons. Just a thought!

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.

We set out from White House early and wer hungry by the time we reached Cookeville, so pulled off the highway (God forbid you say"freeway in TN) and checked Yelp.

The flavors ere to die for and the ribs were melt in your mouth tender. Her sandwich was also delicious. I expected to pay a heavy price for the meal, but everything was even more reasonably priced than at home. If you find yourself in Cookeville, do yourself a favor and stop here.

Also, he said he watched the guy cooking the Mike's Philly #17 he put the correct amount of meat and distributed it correctly and that he was the one to slice the onions that morning. Well, when so arrived, I saw with my own two eyes that he was training someone and the guy cooking was in his own behind them and he was not watching him. So, he lied, more than once. Jersey Mike's is no longer as it started out and we will NEVER go to another one after the poor food and service. Good luck to anyone who eats at these.
