Cindy's Cafe — Restaurant in Dickson

Cindy catered three meals a day and snacks/drinks for a training that lasted 4 days. The food was incredible. True homemade southern fare. Like Grannie used to make. The whole team was impressed with her attitude and positivity. She listened when those healthy folks wanted salad or didn't eat beef and gladly provided alternatives. She became part of the team for an emotional training. She was a breath of fresh air to all of us. She cut up and laughed with us. When some of us had to respond during a crisis and help out our team she made us a plate for later with a sweet note and extra cake :) This woman went above and beyond and I was glad to get to know her. The food was great but more importantly she has excellent customer service so her customers are left with a positive experience which is what good southern food is all about. She didn't even mind some of us visiting her in the kitchen and chit chatting. It was a pleasure to meet you Cindy! Thank you so much! I was glad to...

The outside appearance and interior decor are not stylish, but this roadside eatery is worth driving a few extra miles. It was our first visit and we had breakfast. The portions are generous, the food is prepared perfectly and very tasty. Our waitress, Rachel, was the epitome of friendliness and efficiency. Despite only having one cook, the food was on our table in no time. Our coffee cups were kept filled and the bill was more than reasonable. The lunch menu looked great enough to entice me back for a meat and three lunch. The food was great. Rachel was great. The prices were great. We will be back. If you haven’t eaten there, you need to. (They are only open for breakfast and lunch, closing around 2PM most days, but check the hours out as...

Southern cooking at it's BEST! Fried chicken salad (served with Captain's Wafers, not saltines - THANK YOU!) is delicious! It's so easy to overcook fried chicken - Cindy's is crispy, moist, plentiful for the salad, and simply divine! Two meats are offered for the daily plates, available with choice of 2 or 3 vegetables and choice of bread. All of it is cooked FRESH daily. The Salisbury steak is perfect! Not too thin, too much bread, nor too salty (common problems). Great portions, too. Rachel is an amazing waitress - so friendly and meeting every need without "hovering." Heads up - it's a small diner, so for Heaven's sake don't pass it...
