John's Place — Restaurant in Cookeville

Buffet style home cooked meal just as good as grandma would make pool table in there jukebox great ownership food is definitely awesome service is good. Then there were four several decades I believe they opened in the early forties good atmosphere easy to find I'll definitely go back and that was my first visit and it was very nice I don't know if this is proper but it's like a hole in the wall some of the best places I found in our country our hole in the walls five star and the lady that owns it I believe I heard that she was either 90 or 92 she doesn't swell job for such a young age...

We love to try the food that is recommended by the staff. Julie suggested the catfish - I normally do not like catfish - but they made it sound wonderful so we tried it. The fish was so good. Perfect batter. My husband loves catfish and feels this was the best he ever had. The food here is not your normal bar fare. Tasted fresh and very flavorful. Julie was very friendly and chatty. Troy (owner) was very personable and he seems to love what he does. Friendly local crowd

Stop in and try the full bar and kitchen. I hope you enjoy it as...
