Steak house
Yanni's Grille is a highly recommended family restaurant that offers delicious food and excellent service. It is known for its wide variety of dishes, including catfish dinner, pizza, lasagna, grilled cheese, pork kabobs, strip steak, and Chicken Parmigiana with added mushrooms. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a wonderful dining experience. With a smooth operation led by a talented chef, Yanni's Grille stands out as an impressive spot to try when visiting the area.
I can’t say enough great things about this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding—warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. You really feel like family here. The menu offers a wonderful selection of traditional Greek dishes, and everything we tried was full of flavor. But the real surprise? The pizzas! Absolutely amazing—crispy crust, generous toppings, and that perfect blend of cheese and sauce. You can tell they use fresh, quality ingredients. On top of it all, the prices are very reasonable. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both top-notch food and fantastic value, but this spot nails it. Whether you're craving Greek specialties or just want the best pizza in town, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back!

A friend told me they made a good pizza. They were correct. It is a very good pizza. I ordered the 9ne called the Warrior. It's a excellent 3 meat pizza. Cheaper than most in the area to. Definitely would recommend to others to try. I'll be going back to try other things on the menu. They are always pretty busy which usually means good food also.

Do not go here and order a salad. You will be highly disappointed! We ordered 2 salads to go and swimming in dressing like to the point just had to throw it away. Seriously its not that hard honestly they should have just put it on the side like we asked but nope they just rather pour a whole bottle in it. Plus the salad itself isnt worth what they charged. first and last time going there. Took pics im gonna try to find a way to post them.

If you are looking for good food, Yanni's is the place to come! Have eaten here every time I come down this way! I had the catfish dinner with a baked potato and salid. Excellent! Other people in my party had pizza, lasagna, grilled cheese, and pork kabobs. All enjoyed their food. Would recommend this restaurant.

We found this on Yelp, I selected it because I felt it would have a Greek owner and I associate good food with Greek owners. My husband had the prime rib in loved it, We both had the tomato basil soup We enjoyed it but we did not really like the macaroni in it, I had the grilled shrimp dinner and it was delicious and plentiful.

A pretty good lunch stop in town. The service was good and the food came quickly. The Patty Melt had a good flavor, but the cheese wasn't melted at all which was disappointing. The Bean and Ham soup was delicious, as was the Grilled Chicken Salad. The fries were terrible: frozen, with little flavor, and a horrible texture.

2El Meson San Pedro Mexican Restaurant

Mexican restaurant
Latin American restaurant
The overall experience at El Meson San Pedro Mexican Restaurant was satisfactory, although some aspects fell short of expectations. While the tacos were decent, it would have been nice to see more variety on the menu. The children found the tacos reminiscent of Taco Bell due to their heavy seasoning with taco spices. The salsa had a distinct smoky flavor that did not appeal to everyone's taste. Although the queso was enjoyable, its inclusion of refried beans might not be ideal for everyone.
My wife and I stopped in for lunch while we were in the area. The decor was full of rustic Mexican charm. The leather barrel seats were a great touch. The had an appetizer of Guacamole, which was very good. We also ordered the El Meson Especial Fajitas, which was outstanding! The meats were cooked just right and the entire dish was alive with flavor. Highly recommended!!! Our server was great and highly attentive. We’ll be back!!

STOP what you are doing and come here. The salsa is excellent and the very best, and if that isn't enough, they bring out a complimentary freshly made bean dip covered in Queso Cheese 🍲. The Birria Tacos 🌮 🌮🌮 are fantastic 😋. The corn 🌽 chips are hot and fresh. Fresh Food! Friendly Staff! Fast Service! Fantastic Price!

I'm lucky that I discovered this restaurant off of 70 while riding the motorcycle, and will go back ASAP! Alberto treated me like family, and when he realized I liked spicy stuff,.. he brought 2 different hot salsas along with a cheese dip, gratis! Great prices and great quality food, and, somehow, even better service! Thanks San Pedro!

Located at a convenient spot if you are on the way or coming back from the Fall Creek Falls State Park. Cool looking interiors, friendly staff, overall welcoming restaurant.

El Tapatio, a cozy kitchen and bar, serves generous portions of traditional Mexican favorites alongside refreshing margaritas. This top-notch establishment boasts an exceptional dining experience, thanks to its warm and accommodating staff and spotless eating area. The cuisine is undeniably delectable, even for those who may not typically gravitate towards this style of food due to past disappointments at other establishments.
They did not have what I wanted on the menu so I explained to the lady serving us and she put in my order and the picture I posted was the plate and it was delicious and the service was great

Visiting the area and saw this restaurant had decent ratings. Had the lunch special. I had the tamale lunch and my husband had the chimichanga. Both were served quickly and hot. Staff was great. Very friendly. Lots of chips. Mild, medium and hot salsas were good. Easily accommodated special requests. Tried the chimichanga cheesecake for dessert, it was just okay.

First Rate restaurant all around. From the friendly and helpful staff very clean dining area. The food was absolutely delicious. And I’m not a huge fan of this type of food because some of the restaurants have put me off at the past. However I would eat at this restaurant every day. The chips were absolutely fresh and the salsa delicious. We had a different menu for each one of us and I tasted each item and it was really really good. The chicken was tender and juicy and the ground beef was very tasty. I will definitely give it two Thumbs Way up

I have debated about posting this review for over a month. As a family who has eaten at El Tap far too many times to count a recent visit has me confused. My husband and brother stopped in for lunch. By their account food & service was great as usual. The problem came at bill time. They paid seperately. El Tap charged both of them for the chips & salsa. They got one basket of chip & salsa when seated. They were both charged for a full order of chips and salsa. Is this something they have recently started doing? I know in the past when ordering to go they charged for chips & salsa but never have I seen it on our bill at the table. Also never charged twice for the same basket!!

Stepping foot into el Tapatio, my friend and I did not know what to expect- being out of towners and all. We ordered the papas Mexicanas to share, and were seriously blown away and touched on a soul level. We devoured all of it. We were so amazed by the quality of food, and equally so- the dazzling service! The staff were so incredibly attentive and kind, quick as could be with the endless Diet Coke refills. I would travel the hour and a half back to Sparta just to come back here! Give them all a raise!!

One of my absolute favorite small town spots! The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, and the hospitality makes you feel right at home every time you walk through the door. You can always count on getting some amazing home cooking here. The burgers are my personal favorite — consistently delicious — but today I decided to branch out and try the BBQ baked potato, and it was just as wonderful. Everything they serve is full of flavor and made with care. If you're looking for great food with a cozy, friendly vibe, this is the place to go!

Truly a southern spot in the heart of Sparta. Upon entering there's an inclosed outdoor seating and dining area. Very clean and upkept. The menu had several options and price is very responsible. I went with the cheeseburger topped with pulled pork I was very indecisive because seeing the friendly server walk out to other tables and everything look appealing. I kept it simple for lunch and was not disappointed.. stop by if your ever in the Sparta area.
Nga V — Google review
It's a BBQ shack. Those are the best kinds. It's like the flavors are soaked into the walls. 😆 I am rating against my Memphis BBQ standards. Meat: Moist and not over cooked. But it needs more smoke. Tasting that smoke is what can set a place a step above. Sauce: Points for not being vinegar or mustard based. It's a thick molasses base. It's good. If it was thinner and had some heat to it, it would be more in line with a Memphis style. So it's not my favorite, but it's a good bite. Serving Size: It's not a tiny bun like some places. It's actually a normal sized bun. So, points there. Overall: If the meat had a little more smoke, the sauce was a little thinner and had some heat, this would a a 5☆. But they are definitely a solid 4☆. Well, worth a try, so stop in and help Jack retire young. PROS: Friendly service, fair prices, Moist meat. Cons: Lack of smoke, sauce is thick and needs heat.

Jack's never disappoints. The patty melt is the dish today. It is so hard to pass up. His food is always great and flavourful. When eating out in Sparta Tennessee, this is always where I go. I can never get enough of the hamburgers or any of the smoked meats. It's always fresh. The staff is always very accommodating, and Jack is very personable. I always love talking barbecue with him. If you're in or around Sparta, you need to come and eat here.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Miss Marendas, a captivating tea room located within an extraordinary antique shop. The cuisine and service were outstanding, particularly the delectable homemade bread. The menu offered a delightful array of tasteful combinations. Every table was beautifully presented, enhancing the overall experience. After indulging in a satisfying lunch, I had the opportunity to peruse two floors of vintage items, upcycled goods, and gently used merchandise from which I acquired some cherished treasures.
I love this little stop. They have the best chicken salad around and afterwards we usually go upstairs to get out the antiques. The menu is smaller but I always loved everything I've tried.

My husband and I finally made it to Marioochi’s in Sparta, and we’re so glad we did! We were greeted right away by a friendly hostess and offered the choice to wait 20 minutes for a table or sit immediately at the bar. We chose the bar—and it was perfect. The first thing I noticed was the peaceful atmosphere—no TVs in sight, which made for a relaxing dining experience. The open view of the brick oven was such a nice touch, and the remodel is absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t help but snap a few photos! Our bartender/server, Andy, was fantastic—he gave us a little history of the place, offered great menu suggestions, and made us feel like we were his only guests. We shared the spinach dip and each ordered a pizza (which made amazing leftovers!). The food was delicious and came out fast—thanks to that high-heat brick oven. We can’t wait to come back and try the calzones next time. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I wish I took a picture of the pizza before we started to eat it but this pizza was sooooo tasty. We tried the Raquel and the Hey Louie, plus the double chocolate cake which is not pictured. The Raquel was incredibly delicious. The highlight of the pizza was the pesto chicken, which was very flavorful. The Hey Louie was great as well. The Italian sausage was very fresh and tasty. Both pizzas were executed with perfection in my opinion, the best pizza that I have tried in my entire life. Lastly, the chocolate cake was very moist and not overly sweet. We ordered our food but once we entered this establishment we were greeted with excellent customer service. Thank you to everyone in this place.

Husband voted for a 5 rating, I was going to do a 3 rating so we compromised eith a 4. The bruschetta was odd to me, others might like it. The bread was thin & small loaded with diced tomatoes, no balsamic. The Bobby was ok, husband liked it. Pepperoni and cheese pizza with the same tiny diced tomatoes as on the bruschetta, no sauce. The chocolate cake was large, ice cold, dense with a rich bitter dark chocolate frosting. The service started well then tapered off significantly.

Great first experience at Roberts Family Diner! Stopped here on my way to pick up my son’s birthday cake. The girls here were so sweet. They brought him a pancake with a candle in it and sang him happy birthday. Genuinely made the day start off great. The potatoes were really good. Well seasoned, crispy, and fluffy inside. The omelette was really good. The prices were vintage. Great price on everything. The inside reminds me of a VFW or American Legion Hall. A nice comfortable familiar vibe. Overall, really enjoyable experience.

My first and my last time stopping here for breakfast. The menu includes no prices for meals. When I asked my server why this was, she replied, "you will have to ask the boss lady, she made the menu". My plate of food was slammed down within three to four inches of my face while I was looking down at my phone. I was never offered a second cup of coffee: I waited ten minutes for more coffee (which never happened), paid my bill, and left. The wall beside of my table was filthy. It probably has not been washed in years, let alone painted. The wait time was fine, the food was o.k., but not great, and my server seemed to have a bad attitude.

Huddle House is a casual 24/7 chain that serves all-day breakfast and hearty American dishes. The food selection is good, albeit a little pricey. Despite some delays in service, the Pecan waffle was praised for being loaded with nuts and delicious. Customers were pleasantly surprised by the use of real eggs for their scramble egg whites.
First time at the huddle house! Our waitress Tiffany was exceptional. Best service we have had on our travels on our vacation. Delicious food and Tiffany made it extra special!!

Destiny was our waitress. She was phenomenal! Working with one hand due to right being fractured in several places, she still flew around seeing to everyone! Best waitress I've had anywhere in a long time. The food was fantastic too! The cook, Anna, did a great job. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit today! Thank you!

I love coming here to eat, and I continue to every weekend. Even when busy, we all are taken care of. Anna and Michael (management/owners) are incredible people. To work along side their employees and treat us as family. They truly go above and beyond and not many restaurant owners do. Love love love it here and I hope to keep returning for years to come.

I stopped in at 6am to grab a quick bite to eat and had two of the greatest waitresses, Destany & Tiffany. They are awesome! Keri is the cook and it's some of the best food I have eaten! The owner is named Anna and she's running a great management. 10/10 will be back!

Edit: visited here again, and they've upped their game. Our server was prompt and friendly and the food was wonderful. I got another chocolate chip waffle and they'll actually put the chips inside the waffle unlike similar places. They also give free meals to Vets on Veterans Day. Service has always been lacking. Out of the two times I've been here, both times they've forgotten part of my order. The place is short staffed and they do what they can, but they desperately need some new management. The food I did receive was good. MVP with a chocolate chip waffle, sausage, and biscuit 'n gravy.

It's a hidden gem in a small town. I take my son there for a weekday dinner from time to time and the food is always hot and fresh. I didn't see any issues with food running out. The decor is a bit dated but I like that. It reminds me of a chinese buffet my parents took me to when I was a kid in the 80s.

For a Chinese buffet, it was excellent. Food was above average. Only issue I had was the white rice was nowhere near the fried rice so I had ask where to find it (it's with the sushi by the back wall).

This was, without a doubt, the worst Chinese buffet that I've been to, in a very, very long time. The food was like warm, at best. Very dry, and flavorless. I'm glad we were just passing through town, and don't have to worry about this being our only choice for Chinese food. Obviously, the managers or owners don't care about serving a good quality product. I'd be embarrassed if I were them.

Buffets are not for me. Time or 2 got sick after. May have been unrelated but kids are allowed to help themselves. I have Hygiene issues with this. Basically if you like buffets this is an average one.

This is a pretty good Chinese place for being in the middle of nowhere Sparta, Tennessee. The negative reviews on here act like this is a major metropolis or something. And Richard's review below me doesn't know the difference between worse and worst. Should tell you all you need to know about his review. The kid that waited on us was fine and the food was fine.

Nestled in the heart of Hillcrest, Flour Child Bakery at Hillcrest Restaurant is a charming family-run establishment that has been revitalized by Marisha Webb, who took over from her father. This delightful spot offers an array of homemade dishes featuring freshly milled grains and pastries. Guests rave about trying Kolaches for the first time—soft bread enveloping savory meat and cheese—a true treat! The menu also boasts comforting classics like lasagna and hearty soups.
Great delicious homemade food with amazing service. Highly recommend. Had the hot ham and cheese with homemade tomato soup. And fresh homemade carrot cake for desert. There are tons of desert options, all made in house. Will definitely be back!

Marisha Webb has taken over Hiillcrest Restaurant from her dad and has created Flour Child Bakery. The menu has fresh milled grains and pastries. My husband and I each tried a Kolache for the first time, which is homemade soft bread wrapped around meat & cheese. Wonderful! !! She also has other homemade foods such as lasagna & soups. Then, we splurged and ordered homemade Cherry Cobbler and homemade Vanilla Ice Cream!!! Delicious isn’t even a word that does it justice!!!! Finding homemade foods has truly gone out of style, so it’s so nice to find someone dedicated to how things USE to be! 🥰

Quaint, family-owned and operated little restaurant. Friendly and personable waitress (the daughter) serving up delicious homemade food by the local cook (the dad). If you get bored, there’s a steady stream of music videos playing on the several wall-mounted televisions with a playlist of very eclectic musical taste. The restaurant has funny hours, but if you can catch it when they’re open, you won’t be disappointed.

Try the Tennessee Toothpicks. The photo I posted was after I lost control after the first bite. The ground hamburger plate was great. This has to be the best home cooked meal we have had since hitting the road 9 months ago. The only thing better than the food was the friendly staff. We will be back while we are staying at Ragland Bottom Staye Park.

I have eat at countless Sonic’s in the Knoxville area since moving there 8 years ago. They are one of the worst of anywhere I have been. Sparta sonic is in a league of its own! It never fails to be fresh and there is no comparison in quality of the food between Knoxville sonic and Sparta. Hats off to you guys here at Sparta.

I went there the other day. The music was so loud I could barely hear the girl on the speaker. So I know she could barely hear me too. I ordered my food and I didn’t notice at the time she had typed it in wrong and at that point I already paid so I pushed the button and told her what was wrong so she changed it and tried to charge me more. So I asked to speak to the manager he came out there. I told him what was going on and that the music was too loud so I’m not surprised she got the order wrong. And I told him I shouldn’t have to pay extra for something when I ordered it right and she put it in wrong so I told him I would like my money back and proof that they put it back on my card and I told him I would just go somewhere else. maybe if the music wasn’t blaring, she may be able to hear my order correctly or she may have not been paying attention either way it’s not my fault I corrected her when I noticed it was wrong. Maybe turn down the music so people can hear each other.

Captain D's is a popular fast-food chain that specializes in serving up delicious fried fish and shrimp combo meals, alongside tasty options like gumbo and funnel cakes. While some guests have experienced longer wait times during their visits, the staff generally works diligently to prepare fresh meals. Many diners rave about the hot and flavorful catfish, with sides like green beans and corn often exceeding expectations.
We were disappointed in our last visit. Our order was taken and we waited longer than necessary to finally ask "where's our food" a discussion took place and excuse was given but, no sincere apology for giving our food to someone in the drive through. The cashier was not happy to fill our teas behind the counter since she had just made new tea and hadn't yet filled the container on the counter. Twenty years in food service. Y'all can do way better. Half an hour wait should have brought us an apology and a discounted meal. We got attitude and undercooked fish.

Got a deluxe seafood platter, and it was so horrible. Fish swimming in oil deviled crabs were burnt, and no meat was left. The shrimp was so hard I couldn't eat it. Coleslaw seemed like it had sit all day. My husband's fish sandwich was like eating cooking oil. To pay $19.07, this was nothing but slop fit for a hog. Started calling at 5:30 pm and kept calling until 7:00 pm No one would pick up the phone.

After receiving my order at the counter, I fixed my drink and sat down at a booth. That’s when I noticed the putrid smell. I thought it was something in the booth, so I moved to another booth and the smell was still there. I started to think the lady sitting across from me might have pissed her drawers. I finally realized the nasty smell was coming from the plastic tray they served my food on. When I say it was bad, please believe me that it was beyond bad. How does this happen? How do the employees not smell that? My work partner picked his tray up to smell it and his was the same way. Management needs to get this figured out. I won’t be back.

Nice surprise in this small town! Travelling for work with two others, including a vegan. I had the jalapeño burger with onion, the vegan had the jalapeño burger, but no burger and fries. The other was the smash burger. They did a fabulous job accommodating the vegan! A little bit of feedback was with the tator tots - overcooked- and the generous sauces made the buns a little mushy.

*BUFFET* The best part of the menu. The items on the buffet all seemed fresh, with the exception of the livers. The Cole slaw is some of the best you can get, as is the bread pudding (cobblers wasn't any good). I do think they should offer some boneless chicken on the buffet, maybe some tenders.

Honestly, I hate leaving bad reviews but this was a horrible experience. I went to pick up a mobile order that said it would be ready at 615. I got there at 614. We waited until like 632 before anyone asked us what we were waiting on. Then they said that order had been completed and someone picked it up. I was like, it wasn’t me? I’ve been here for like 20 mins. So then one employee was kinda hateful for no reason, I was just wanting my food and was being polite, I know it’s not an easy job and have all the respect in the world for food workers. So then a manager who seemed nice but very overworked came and said remake the order. They had ran out of biscuits and were waiting on them because I could hear them talking to each other and they were 2 minutes out. She handed me the food and I got home and of course, no biscuits. The employee knew that they were giving me the order with no biscuits but did anyways. The large fries with the meal was also literally half crumbs. I hate leaving bad reviews but this one kinda blew my mind. I have never had an experience like this one at this KFC and hate it happened.

For the second time I have ordered chicken livers from here and when I get home they are burnt beyond even eating. I didn't take them back because I got them on my way to work, customers would be more understanding for you to say we are out then for someone like me to go all the way to work and end up not having food for my lunch.

Everytime we order from here it's always messed up. Don't leave until you go through your bucket of chicken. Count the pieces to make sure they didn't short you or just give you just thighs and legs instead of the normal 8 piece. We have ordered a 12 piece and get home to find out they only gave us 8. Unfortunately going to this location is the only option when you have a late evening from work and don't want to drive up to cookeville.

My husband loves KFC chicken and his desire to try their buffet sent us on a 30 mile one way trip to Sparta, Tenn. The staff was friendly and many people going through the drive-thru window and some inside customers. I couldn't tell what some of the food items were because they looked warmed up too long or leftover from another day. The macaroni and cheese looked very dry as did the other foods that were unknown. Sorry but I tell the truth. There's room for improvement. One of the staff brought my husband some apple pie and brought me some half and half tea when she overheard me tell my husband that I would like tea. I just didn't see it. She deserves a star for her outstsnding customer service!

Their food is cooked so well and tastes better then other LC I have gotten from. They are quick to get what I ordered done in time for me to enjoy on my lunch breaks.

A slightly above average Little Caesars. It’s not the best pizza in the world, but it’s hot, and it’s ready. The people at this location are nice and helpful.

Ordered my pizza thru app specifically to have a hot fresh lunch. Less than a mile from location and my food was just oven warm. Cheese was not gooey and grease was already absorbed into the box. When I got back to the office, I checked my app, it said: ordered at 1:22, ready for pick up by 1:26 FASTEST COOKING TIME EVER: 3 min On the box it said taken at 1:36 How is that possible when It took me 2 min to drive there, ordered on the way and I pulled back into my office by 1:35??? I was greeted and welcome by the young lady so at least that was nice.

I used to order pizza from here all the time but I rarely do anymore because they don’t know how to follow order instructions, they don’t know how to use damn sauce , if I wanted pepperoni cheese bread I would’ve went to dominos , nor do they know how to cut a pizza (asked for extra sauce)

Pizza worth the money definitely a budget dinner. 15 minutes waiting for a Hot n Ready.. no music or anything while. You wait kinda boring. Overall cheap price for a decent bite to eat.

I never thought I’d say Little Caesars, is by far better than Pizza Hut. It most definitely is. The food was hot, service was prompt, and the price was great for everything I ordered.

Burger King, a popular fast-food chain, is known for its delicious grilled burgers, crispy fries, and creamy shakes. Recently, a group of four enjoyed a quick meal at one of their newly renovated locations. The service was prompt and the food was fresh; however, some buns were slightly stale. The restaurant maintained cleanliness throughout, with attentive staff ensuring everything from condiments to restrooms were well-stocked.
Me and my friend had a blast, good food just cooked and amazing. I went up to the register 3 times to get the different things at different times. I am giving the review 5 stars because you guys should try it.

More than 1/2 the time, they either mess up the order or the food quality is bad. I’ve submitted a review each time to customer service and they either credit or add points very responsive. However, this is the email I received for my last experience where I ordered off the app and picked up my order and there was no cheese on either sandwich after you drive away of course. I had to go back and go inside the restaurant again to correct. They fixed it but we’re very rude and never apologized. Check out this response from corporate after not addressing it in the store. Carissa (Burger King) Nov 2, 2024, 12:29 PM EDT Hi Asher, Thank you for reaching back out and I am sorry for the issue you experienced.

Sunday May 12, 2024 our party of four stopped in for a quick bite and ordered two of the Whopper Junior Dou meals. The order was correctly taken in a prompt fashion and was ready within a couple of minutes. The entire place was clean and we all sat at a booth. The fries were hot. Some of our buns were a little stale but the rest was good. Restrooms were clean and well stocked and the employees were all busy cleaning, washing windows and making sure the condiments were stocked, as they were.

Decided to stop by since they recently rebuilt a much needed store front. Food was fresh, drive thru was not bad even though packed out, the drive thru speaker was screaming at me and I had to yell to order that needs some adjustment. Clean place. Friendly people. The new ghost pepper stuff had zero spice to it.

Achilles Greek Grill is a charming establishment that offers a wide range of delectable food options. While their specialty lies in Greek cuisine, they also serve meat-based dishes, hamburgers, and pizza. The restaurant boasts a spacious and well-maintained dining area with ample seating. The attentive and friendly server ensures a pleasant dining experience.
This was an unexpected pleasure on our return drive from a long road trip. On the 4th of July we didn’t think we’d find a family run business open. We were greeted, seated, and given drinks & menus very quickly. The hard part was deciding from their very complete menu. My husband almost got the lamb shank but figured he’d be too full and sleepy to drive the 4.5 hours to home. I got gyro salad which had grilled onions & green peppers, as well as raw onions (yum!). All the usual ingredients were there plus a lot of black olives. My husband had a gyro sandwich, fries & falafel. The falafel was highly seasoned with herbs & pepper. It was so much more tasty than we often get at Mediterranean restaurants. Service was attentive & helpful. The restaurant is comfortable & restrooms are clean. Stop by when driving through!

I had two hours before my ordered help shows up for my job here and was wanting lunch so I went to this small town in Tennessee and found a hidden gem. I was surprised there was a Greek restaurant here. This one is actually amazing for being small town Tennessee. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing. I would suggest this place to friends and family if I lived here. The atmosphere was a small town feel and totally took me back to my roots.

After a doctor's appointment, on a whim, my husband and I pulled in to this sweet little restaurant, because I needed to eat after a blood draw. Service was a little slow, as there were so many folks waiting to place to go orders, but the staff was friendly and moved as quickly as they could. Give a little grace if they're busy - trust me when I say that it's worth it. I ordered a number five, and when I say that after the first bite, all illusion of lady like dignity went out the window, I mean it. These are the BEST gyros I've had in years. Everything appears to be made in house, and the flavors just sing. You can taste the freshness, and feel the pride these people have in their food. Ask for the tzatziki sauce. I'm fairly certain it's made in house and it's some of the best I've ever had. I'm so happy to have found this hidden gem close to home. I can't wait to come again! Thanks, Achilles!

On our way to Nashville, we spent the night in Sparta, Tennessee and had an enjoyable dinner at Achilles Greek Grill. It is run by a very nice greek family.

So I finally decided to do this review after my 3rd experience with them. In all honesty the food is decent. It’s not bad. Not great, but not bad at all. I would give it a 3.5. The fries are very solid. The falafel has been hit or miss. The first time I tried it it was pretty good. Second time was bad and this time it was average. They give you a pretty straight forward falafel so don’t expect anything crazy. I have requested hummus on my falafel sandwich every time and each time they tell me I have to order a side of hummus and put it on my self. Even if they just had a small up charge to put some hummus on the sandwich I would happily pay it. It’s a place that I see myself occasionally popping by. The prices are fair. Like I said it’s by no means bad. A slightly above average place.

Very nice place, with plenty of choices of a variety of food. Their main offerings are Greek but the have meat + meals, hamburgers, & pizza. They have beer. The restaurant has plenty of tables and is clean. The server was very attentive and nice. I had a gyro & rice. The rice was very good, I had to ask for the tzatziki sauce as it didn't come with the sandwich. The tzatziki was a little thin but fine.

Tavern Grill @ 1 East Maple is a casual yet impeccably clean restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The Calfkiller Stout served here has a rich coffee flavor, making it an excellent choice for beer enthusiasts.
Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She also knew the area well and was able to give us some ideas for future hikes. Our food was delicious...I had a salad, and included some shrimp. The restaurant itself was clean and inviting. In these days when staffing shortages are hindering some restaurants from even opening, we're always grateful to find a restaurant that's actually open, fully staffed, and serving delicious food.

My wife and I went Friday night for a date. The setting is nice, casual but extremely clean. I started with a Calfkiller Stout which had a good, rich coffee flavor. For an appetizer, we ordered Garlic Cheese Bread - not a good choice, reminded me of something you'd get frozen at the store. For my entree, I got the Prime Dip with Mashed Potatoes; it was phenomenal. The meat was tasty, tender, and juicy and the au jus paired nicely. The mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious, however the green beans were bland. My wife got the Black & Bleu burger with fries; it was also amazing. The burger was crispy, but not dry, and the Bleu cheese dressing had just the right amount of flavor. The fries were fresh and crispy. The wait staff was fast and friendly. We will be back again and again, as this is one of the best restaurants in Sparta.

So glad we found this little gem! From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and appreciated as patrons. Even though it was between meal hours we were greeted, seated and made aware that there were still options for a snack. Everything we ordered was so good, and the home made honey mustard dressing was the best ever. We love supporting small local businesses and will definitely be back. Other establishments in the area should take a lesson in customer service from this wonderful place.

If I could I would give zero stars. The soda I got completely flavorless (obviously not checking their syrups) they forgot the avocado sauces that I was charged for and even questioned if I had it on my order. And to top it all off I find a long black hair in my loaded potatoes!!!! I have med blonde hair. And when I called the manager the only thing he said was "do you want me to replace it for you" as if it was a joke to them. I've never been so disgusted with this restraint until now.

The best Taco Bell for at least a hundred miles. I eat taco bell way more than I should, and this one is objectively the best around. It's clean, it's fast, and I think I've only had an order once in the last 10 years or so and they fixed that without any issues. Service is always fast and good, never had an issue here, can't say that about most of them. It's just a solid taco bell, not much else to say!

As a fire inspector, I visit a wide range of businesses and can often gauge the overall quality of an operation by how it's run behind the scenes. This Taco Bell stands out as the cleanest and most well-managed facility I’ve encountered in the past year. The level of leadership, teamwork, and coordination here is impressive and clearly focused on delivering exceptional customer service. The store is spotless—from the kitchen to the dining area to the exterior. I even saw a team member sweeping the parking lot, which speaks volumes about their attention to detail. Highly recommend this location.

If I could give this taco bell 10/10 stars I would. The inside was very clean, hot sauces STOCKED. The service was impeccable, our server was very friendly and the food came out in about 3 mins - very fast. The food was the best taco bell I have ever had - FRESH and tasty. The crunchwraps were delicious and came with guac. The veggie bowl was better than chipotle and was very satisfying. I love taco bell.

After a hiking trip to Burgess Falls, the decision of where to eat was uncertain. However, upon leaving the park, an American restaurant called Chestnut Oaks Farm Store and Kitchen caught their attention. Intrigued by its outdoor seating and pet-friendly policy, they decided to give it a try. They ordered a burger, patty melt, and grilled cheese with various side dishes to sample.
We enjoyed our visit here so much! Cozy, friendly, and the food was yummy! My kids and I played games, checked out upstairs, and my kids got grilled cheese and cookies, and we got the pimento porky, and brisket, ended with ice cream and milkshakes! It all felt homey!

The atmosphere at this charming farm store in a converted barn was fantastic! Fresh milk and beef products are available as well as a good selection of ice cream and menu that is perfect for a light lunch. We had a Patty Melt and Brisket sandwich with a margarita key lime pie for desert. Every thing was good at a fair price. The pie was definitely our favorite. Complaint are minimal, the brisket didn’t have a smoked crust or flavor but there is a smoker behind the kitchen. I just didn’t see or taste the characteristics of smoked brisket. The service was good but seemed unorganized considering most of the menu is premade. Also only one stall in the restroom and the hikers from the near by falls were in a hurry to get their chance to use the restroom. I assume people preferred to use it instead of those provided at the falls. I was raised in Texas so brisket is a staple for me so I am a tough critic I know but it was still a decent sandwich and the bun was delicious. We really liked the charm and freshness of the this place a lot.

Decided to finally try this place and I am so glad we did. This is a hidden gem tucked away near Burgess Falls. This farm to table restaurant is a breath of fresh air. It's located in the cutest barn and they offer a small store of local handmade goods. I ordered a cheeseburger, onion rings, and coleslaw. You can tell that the ingredients they use are of quality. The burger was flavorful and hit the spot. The onion rings although they were fried had a unique batter and wasn't greasy as all. They were some of the best onion rings I've ever had. The coleslaw was the star of the show though. It is by far the best coleslaw I've ever had. I would bathe in this coleslaw lol. I would literally go back just for the coleslaw alone. After all this food I wanted a sweet treat so I ordered a strawberry ice cream made with real strawberries. It was unlike any strawberry ice cream I've ever had. Most have an artificial taste this didn't at all. It was so creamy and delicious and was the best way to end a great meal. I will definitely be going back!

Such a great find! We had been out all morning hiking the local waterfalls and were looking for some lunch to fuel up for our afternoon hikes. We drove by this cute red barn perched on a hill just outside of Burgess State Park and smelled something delicious and we had to stop. We ordered the burgers, BLT, potato salad, ranch bean and sweet tea. Everything was delicious! The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and the service was quick and efficient. Finished up our lunch with some homemade ice cream. AAA+++ Highly recommend

FYI this Subway no longer accepts the online BOGO promo codes. The staff was very nice and were great about communicating that my order was late. They had a rush before 5 pm. So 4:50 is a bad time to select if you are in a hurry. I had to wait over 12 minutes past my pick up time. I wish Subway still would write the names of the subs on the outside of the wrapper on large orders. We had 6 subs and had to open them to distribute. I do like the convenience of walking in to pick up from the shelf when the order is ready.

This is referring to the Subway inside Walmart in Sparta. The price has increased substantially for mediocre food since I last went to Subway. The service was poor from the sandwich "artist". Overall, Subway went from serving food I liked to a place I rarely go. This visit further cements the inferiority of the food and brand. Other sandwich locations serve better tasting breads, meats, and toppings. I did like the paper-thin tomato slices and that is the only good thing I have left to say about Subway.

Not sure if this subway is corporate owned or private owned, but anytime I go with my husband it’s probably the nastiest looking “fast food” there is. We’ve been having to go here because the one in walmart’s toaster is broken. The floor is always filthy, with trash and crumbs everywhere, the chairs need a deep clean with bleach. The countertop where the sandwiches are prepared are scattered with just about every ingredient in the place and not wiped down after every sandwich is prepared like it’s supposed to be. I went to fill my drink, and as soon as I set my cup down for a lid a bunch of nats came out of the trash. I understand some places get busy but it doesn’t hurt to clean up and look presentable.

We are new to the area and wanted to give this place a try. We ordered take out. We ordered a steak and cheese sub and a beef chimichonga (spelling?). It was SO GOOD!!! The steak in the steak and cheese...wow! Everything was really very excellent! The family who owns it, my hubby said (he picked the food up) were very pleasant and friendly. The place was clean and spacious. Definitely getting our business again!! But next time, we are going to eat there and I HATE going out to eat! A++

Very good Mexican food in Ravenscroft. The restaurant is not fancy but it is clean and comfortable. The service from Junior was excellent. The front entrance is not ADA compliant but the side door is accessible with no steps. The salsa is good but the chips were thick and stale. Both of our entrees were delicious although the Shrimp Fuego it not even close to hot, and the fried ice cream topped off the experience with us planning our next meal. Update Many of the pictures show food items no longer on the menu or available, e.g. black beans, Shrimp Avocado, caramel sauce on the Fried Ice Cream. They’re removing the items that made them different and better than anything in the Sparta area. It’s not worth the 40 mile drive anymore unless we’re passing through.

We were traveling through town and live in another state. This restaurant is a dining GEM! Don’t let the mundane storefront fool you. The atmosphere inside is authentic and lovely. Service was excellent and the food delicious. The chips are light and crispy. The salsa is chunky and very fresh taking (the cilantro helps!). Best we’ve had in a long time. (Oh, and had a bowl of white cheese dip that you’ll want to drink out of the bowl. 😂) We had two dinners: the chicken fajita and “crazy” burrito. The chicken was deliciously seasoned and tender, and the portion was large. The burrito is a 12” flour tortilla was stuffed with grilled steak, pico and guacamole. It was topped with cheese sauce and chorizo. Amazing! The rice and beans accompanying each meal were excellent. The prices are very fair for the food delivered. Many thanks to the staff for giving us a great dining experience.

I placed a to go order. I wanted a Shredded Beef Chimichanga which I ordered one other time (they don't offer it on menu but substituted for me before). The girl said, "That's the steak chimichanga." I didn't think she was correct but ordered it anyway. I got home and had a strip steak NOT shredded beef and it had green peppers! The strips of steak were way over done first off between the "chewy not crispy shell" and the over done strips of steak I had to saw thru it to take a bite! Then there was a MOUND of green peppers. I have been eating Shreadded Beef Chimichanga's for 50 years and NEVER has it had green pepper on it. I HATE green pepper! I picked out huge strips of it it amounted to about 1/4 of a cup of green peppers on ONE chimichanga! If you dislike green peppers like I do you know even if you pick them off the flavor has already permeated the rest of the ingredients so it pretty much was a chewy green pepper flavored mess! I'd say between the large strips of onion's and green pepper's there was half that and half meat. (Very little meat) I paid $17.02 for this garbage...

This is either the best or one of the best kept secrets in Sparta. It's a really small diner that is family owned and run. The food is good, the service is great. Just don't expect the food to be fast. If you love going to old diners this is the place to go.

One of the best burgers in the area. The restaurant is a little shabby but their health score is a 94. Our burger’s were cooked perfectly and they even toasted the buns. They also have crinkle cut French fries which are our personal favorites. The soft drinks are in cans but they only charge 1 dollar per can. Their prices are very reasonable.

Googled "food near me" while fueling up, Sparta Grill was at the top Mary was there to greet us, take our order, cook our burgers AND check us out! A one woman show... Burgers, spicy chicken sandwich, crinkle fries and tots were top notch. The tiny place is tucked away (asked somone walking by where it was). According to Mary, its been there since 1954!. The original, still functioning, cash register is being used. There's no bathroom, but the pool hall, 2 doors down is open to Sparta Gill patrons, and likely anyone else who enters. Simple, clean, dark....Full of memorabilia from the decades. Step on in!

Passing through town and I searched online for the best burger around and it led me here - the burger and fries were super good! And the sweet tea was the best I've had in a long time. Definitely worth stopping by this small little diner! I loved it here!

Pressed 4 Time Cafe is a small but impressive spot that offers hand-crafted sandwiches and other delectable treats. The French dip with garlic pickles and potato salad come highly recommended, showcasing the high-quality ingredients and care put into each dish. All meats are cooked in-store, while soups, pickles, and desserts are also made on-site. While it may be more suitable for take-out due to its size, the dine-in experience is equally enjoyable.
The place is small and probably better for take-out than dine-in. That said, both of my dine-in experiences have been great. The food speaks for itself, the soups and sandwiches are obviously crafted with care, and the ingredients are high quality. If you've not given them a try, you need to.

Excellent sandwich! And this is coming from a non-sandwich person that will almost always pick something else. Highly recommend the Heavenly Pork pressed sandwich. Only thing that wasn't excellent was the perfectly adequate potato salad.

I thought it was great. The spinach triangles are amazing, my husband and I loved them. I had the combination kabob platter which was delicious and my husband ordered the burger with bacon. He said that the burger patty was a bit overcooked but still tasted good. We also ordered baclava and carrot cake. The theme inside was lacking something, maybe just some decor since it is a new establishment. Since they have so many Greek items on the menu maybe they should run with a Greek theme and smash some plates occasionally and yell out Opa. I really enjoy the food, service was great and food came out quick even though the restaurant was full. Will definitely be back.

Opa! Wowza! And How do you do! We were given a recommendation from a friend of my husband. How happy we are that we listened! As you walk in the first thing you see is a beautiful brick wall that I believe is part of the original building. Eyes upward and you will see beautiful tiles from days gone by. The aromas filling the dining area start making your mouth water in eager anticipation of what’s to come. With local brew, Calfkiller, on tap, you can never go wrong. I can never remember the names so I simply ask for the darkest brew available. The lit shelves in the bar area proudly display the wide array of spirits on hand to quench any thirst . We are so excited by the menu items we can hardly wait to get back down there! Grouper! Souvlaki! Pastas! Steaks! And desserts oh my! Run don’t walk to see for yourself, you won’t regret it! I also recommend asking for Ms Cayleigh, she is smart, attentive and courteous. I promise she will treat you right!

Went to Krystal tonight and this is what I received... sadly this isn't the first time this has happened. I ordered 3 meals which are expensive and all of the Krystal looked like this they were hard as a rock. To say the least I made food at home. The chili cheese fries were cold the cheese also stale like it had been sitting all day. Will be going back to get a refund tomorrow.

The food at this location was very good and it was served in a timely fashion as well. The people that work there are another story. They barely spoke to us and acted as if we were bothering them by coming in. I guess you have to hire anyone you can get now with no one wanting to work.

Always cold, no one is ever visiting the Krystal's here in Sparta, TN. If it wasn't for the drive thru I believe this place would have already shut down. When they first opened the parking lot was always full and the food was super hot and fresh. Not now, burgers are cold and the chicken sandwiches are microwaves, oh and the french fries are gross! I can't see this restaurant making it much longer.

I came here on a Wednesday afternoon to get lunch. The kitchen staff forgot one item of my order (a corn pup, which I was charged a $1.50 for). The lady working the window was not personable at all and the only words she said to me were what my total was. Although the food was good, the staff isn't.

I ordered a Reuben and a large crinkle fries. The amount of fries I got was more like a medium. The Reuben was made with meat heavy on one side and sauerkraut lumped heavy on the other half. I suppose I should mention that the middle of the sandwich was perfect so as not to make the entire review negative. I'm not one to write reviews but the Reubens I get are always a mess. This the first time I've gotten stiffed on my side order though, so things are trending worse.

For stopping in the middle of the afternoon, the seating area was dirty. A container that looked to be used to restock the ice machine was sitting by the beverage dispenser with a mixture of ice and water. Food and some trash was on the floor below several tables. Several tables needed to be cleaned. Both women's bathroom stalls needed the toilet paper restocked. It was not busy and the employees appeared to have plenty of time to take care of these tasks but we're not.

Food was very good. We put in a mobile order thinking it would make things easier on the workers since it was a large order. We got our food about 21 mins past when it said it would be ready. When we did get it it was pretty accurate but we were missing a chicken sandwich. So we had to wait a bit longer for that. The front counter lady was nice but they were very overworked and there was one lady who was constantly complaining loudly about having to do mobile orders that kept coming in. I’m not sure how the mobile orders are more difficult than in store orders but either way customers shouldn’t have to be listening to them complain about working. I know it’s not an easy job but it stood out as pretty poor customer service. Spending $60 on an order as well.

I went and got a milkshake from the Sparta location and was charged twice. I was told I had to call the number to get my money back. I said no that I need them to call the store manager. The manager on duty told me that she would say the same thing guess what she told him to give me money back but yet I didn’t get my money back. I had to call the number and it’s like pulling teeth to get anyone to do anything. Watch this place carefully a bunch teenagers that don’t know what their doing.

If you're on the hunt for a delicious pizza experience, look no further than Papa Johns Pizza. This popular take-out and delivery chain serves up an array of classic and specialty pizzas, alongside tasty wings, sides, and desserts. Their signature fresh dough is generously slathered with Special Garlic sauce and topped with heaps of real mozzarella cheese before being baked to perfection. Each pizza comes with their original dipping sauce that adds an extra layer of flavor.
Papa Johns used to be low on my list of local pizza places, but we found ourselves ordering pickup a couple weeks back. To our surprise, it was really good! I'm not sure if they have new management, employees, or what happened but something definitely improved. We liked it so much we ordered again a few days ago. Same quality as a couple weeks ago. I'd suggest to anyone that has wrote them off previously, give then a second chance. We're glad we did!

I want to start with: I NEVER post reviews on restaurants. AND: We are usually very happy with Sparta’s Papa John’s. But not last night.. Our order was on its way, when the driver called to inform us that our cheese sticks didn’t make it in her car and she’d have to go back to get them. So, then it took 20mins for us to receive our order and of course the pizza was starting to go cold. But the cheese sticks the driver went back for… ended up being the most poorly put together “cheese” bread/ sticks I’ve ever seen. I just couldn’t believe the driver didn’t check them after going back for them. We call to complain and they give us $4 in papa John’s credit. Couldn’t even cover the entire cost of the cheese bread.
Kayla S — Google review
Just Don't. I read the reviews and stupidly went ahead and ordered, giving the benefit of a doubt. If you want the order correct, timely and complete...go somewhere else. They are either extremely short staffed or don't care. Had to wait an additional 20 minutes after they said it would be ready, gave the wrong wings and failed to provide the additional dipping sauces we ordered and paid for. Do yourself a favor, go to Wal-Mart and grab a pizza to bake...

I ordered a chicken Alfredo pizza on 12/30 and it was literally the worst 15 dollars I ever spent. It had no cheese, sauce or toppings on 2 slices.(see Pic) There was a total of 3 small pieces of chicken on the rest.The dough was undercooked. Tomatoes mostly in one area. I know they are new but there is absolutely no reason for a pizza to be made this bad. I haven't eaten at Poppa John's in a while and this happens. Also was told on the phone it was 12 dollars and ended up being over 15. I saw one person wearing a mask(under his nose) and that was it. The staff seemed nice enough and I even left a tip.(mistake on my part) I am surely disappointed and not sure if I'll even give them another chance in the future.Iended up throwing most of it of it away because it was so bad.Hopefully they'll get it right for future customers.I called and was told a manager was not available so I left my number and of course no return call.

If you want the food in a timely manner (in the time they quote), find another pizza place to order from. Our order took an additional 30 minutes from the time it said it would be done. Additionally, the app never updated to let you know where they were in the process.

Ordered delivery. First the app stated that my order would be delivered about 25 minutes after I placed my order. Then when that time came up I got a notification that a doordasher would be delivering my order. Found this to be odd. The door dasher didn’t even pick up my order until 15 mins after it was to be originally delivered then it took him another 20 minutes to deliver it. I only live 8 minutes from the store. I would have gotten it myself yet couldn’t due to having knee surgery. When I opened the boxes the pizzas were lukewarm at best and smashed to one side. When I called to complain I was told that my card would be credited back for my order. Here it is 4 days after the order and it has not been. Plus they sent my a coupon for a free pizza since it was delivered late. Yet when I went to use it today it said it was not available even though it was to be good till 1/28/25. Needless to say I will never use Pizza Hut again

Will never be back there again. We had a rude waitress as soon as we walked in the doors. We stood for about 5-6 minutes waiting for a table and we finally asked for one she was so snarked up about it. There was a sign that said “it would be our pleasure to seat you” .And then we had stand and wait for to wipe the table off. When the food came out my grannies sandwich had absolutely no meat on it.

The Sparta Pizza Hut has fallen far over the past few years. Only 2 people were working during our visit. It was just after 11am when we decided to eat here. The lunch buffet was empty and only one table was occupied. This used to be a sit down restaurant with servers and a full staff. Maybe it was just a slow day but the lady working told us to order at the counter when we were ready like a fast food joint. The worker was very friendly and prompt with our order. Just sad to see a business that used to stay full of customers and plenty of staff go down to almost nothing. The food is decent for the price but the drinks were watery. Hopefully they will get better soon.

I placed a simple order at the drive-thru: 12 donuts (6 chocolate glazed and 6 powdered). I was told they were out of powdered donuts. I asked for cinnamon instead, but the response made me feel like I’d asked for an unreasonable option, as if I had requested something like a hot sauce donut. Since there’s no visible list of available donuts, I asked them to provide suggestions. At that point, another employee, who seemed more senior, took over the speaker and gave a detailed list of options. I adjusted my order to 3 maple and 3 jelly donuts, bringing the total to roughly $14. After paying, the senior employee came to the window and informed me that she had been “clumsy” and dropped two donuts. I asked which ones, and she said they were the maple and jelly donuts. Frustrated, I decided to make it easy for them and just replaced those with more chocolate glazed donuts. To top it off, they handed me the payment machine and asked for a tip. I left $0, but here’s my tip: train your employees to handle customers professionally, and people might actually come back. We want good companies in Sparta to succeed.

Ordered 2 dozen on the app. Gave them over an hour. Got there, no one had touched my order. Then I was told they didn't have all the donuts to fill the order and they wouldn't make them even though they were still open for almost 4 hours. Doesn't seem like a big deal but when you pay money for something (and i had already tipped thru the app) you expect what you pay for. I was told I should have called ahead instead of ordering on the app. Horrible customer service. It would have been nice to have got a call saying they didn't have them when i put the order in so I could have went somewhere else and got what i needed.
