Wabash Southern Kitchen — Restaurant in Nolensville

Well, hmmm. Where do I start?! The place was empty except for a couple and their young daughter who were leaving. The girl standing behind the counter never said a word to us. She just stood there. When you are standing behind a counter as the first and only employee in sight.... I suggest better attire. She had on a big slouchy khaki colored T-shirt and her hair was thrown on top of her head in some kind of a messy bun. What I look like if I'm cleaning the house and mopping. We didn't know how to order. We didn't know if we were to seat ourselves or wait on a host. Since the girl just stood there saying nothing, I asked her what we were supposed to do. She said "We're an order at the counter place". Like wth does that mean. I asked where the menu was and she just pointed to the wall and said "Right there". I wish we had just turned around and walked out the door. We ordered and she handed me the cups, but didn't bother telling us where to get the drinks. It appeared the machine was behind a counter that looked to be for employees only. I just went ahead and got the drinks. It was a counter when Nana's and Southern Hospitality was there. The girl in the T-shirt was standing inside the doorway going to what I assume was the kitchen. She was talking to whomever was back there as she leaned against the doorframe and scrolled through her phone. Yes, it gets worse. She (the girl in the T-shirt) brought out plates. I ordered a vegetable plate. Collard greens (no turnip greens!), okra, slaw and corn. It was disgusting. There was absolutely NOTHING about it that was good southern cooking! The collard greens were definitely straight out of a can. They were like rubber. The okra was basically just a bunch of breading (didn't find much okra) and it was hard as a rock. The corn had no seasoning and was canned. The slaw had no flavor. Oh, I asked them after I ordered did they give rolls or anything with the meal. She said no, but we could buy one. Yeah, I couldn't believe it. We have lived in Nolensville since 1991 when there was nothing in this town. The other restaurants that were there were pretty good. My parents loved going up there every now and then. Ironically, my Mom saved a magazine for me because she saw there was an article about the Wabash. It just doesn't speak to "southern cooking". Nowhere near. I do not...

Where do I start! So I ordered the Nashville Chicken tenders with Mac n cheese and cauliflower rice because I'm a cauliflower connoisseur. And when I tell you the food was not good at all this time. I haven't had an actual meal since yesterday around 10am because I fast and decided my meal would be Wabash which is usually so dang good. The Mac was creamy but lacked flavor (needed some type of seasoning maybe salt). The cauliflower rice was so overcooked it was just mush and watery with no flavor at all. The tenders let me down. Even if the sides had failed me the tenders should have saved the day. They were not that crispy crunchy as usual and there wasn't much flavor to them as well. The original cook must be off today because they open at 11am today. I ubered my meal and it came sooner than expected like 15/20 mins sooner and my delivery ETA was set for 12:30 so that wasn't an issue. The way I wanted my money back but I'm at work and was starved but now I feel nauseated and sick to my stomach. Yeah y'all dropped the ball this time. Which is not something that happens often. So still give them a try but I'm really unhappy with my experience today and I want my $20 back lol but no seriously

UPDATE Up the stars

They Wabash reached out to me and made it right. I thought that was the sweetest because that shows they care about the customer. Most businesses will argue with you about reviews now but honestly I didn't even expect a reply but not only did they respond they called me and said "we got you" How awesome is that. Glad I answered my phone the second time because I don't answer numbers I don't know. Just wanted to say thank you Wabash Southern Kitchen for your...

Advertised as southern food at it's finest, while the food itself screams, "you ain't from around here". The place is set up McDonald's fast food style, with you giving your order at the entrance, then you fend for yourself looking for a place to sit. You also have to get your own drinks and utensils. I had the chicken and dumplings, which was sorely lacking in dumplings, had shredded chicken out of a can, and tasted like they'd put two cups of sugar in it: blech! As a side, I had mashed potatoes and gravy. Potatoes had no flavor, while the brown gravy tasted scorched. My wife had the catfish with green beans and mushroom dirty rice. The catfish was under cooked, but at least the seasoning was close enough to pass. The green beans tasted like they came from a can that had set too long and it had this weird taste that made it quite inedible. The rice was dry. On the plus side, the place was very clean, but then it should be, it's practically brand new. Now for the prices. While high for a southern meat and two place, it was moderate for Nolensville, where the building rents are notorious for being higher than a kite, so keep that in mind. My wife's catfish plate cost $14.50 and only came with one piece of fish, for example. My chicken and dumplings plate cost $5.50, while my mashed potatoes side was an additional $3.50. Every place can have a terrible day, so based on that premise, I will be returning, and hopefully I'll have a much...
