Sweet T's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Parsons

This place is a cozy little family diner with delicious food! Gracie (the owner) will be there with a friendly greeting and tasty suggestions for your meal. As we usually do, my boyfriend and I ordered 2 meals to share. We got the Mississippi Pot Roast special and a double cheeseburger with crinkle cut fries. The burgers and the pot roast portions were huge! I wish I'd taken a picture before we dug in, but it looked so good, and we were hungry, so we just devoured it! Pot roast was very tender and juicy, with real mashed potatoes. Cole slaw is homemade with crisp cabbage and tasty dressing. But the burger......OMG! 😀 Two big hand smashed patties on a toasted bun with cheese and all the trimmings! FANTASTIC! They source all their beef locally and hand smash each burger and lightly season the meat to perfection! Then it's grilled on an open flame, paired with fries or chips, and served to you with a smile! Fair warning: The delicious sweet tea is very sweet, but it's a recipe perfected by the locals. (Diabe-tea) 😄 You can get unsweet or half cut tea if you prefer. We ended up taking half our burger home because we were both so stuffed, we couldn't eat another bite! It was a wonderful snack before bed! 10/10 we will eat there again! Next time, we plan to try breakfast. Keep up the good work, folks. You are killing it!😋

4/17/25 UPDATE We stopped in again for lunch, and the little place was busy! Nevertheless, we got our drinks and food in a timely fashion. I got the chicken filets with fries and slaw. I won't lie. It was average. My boyfriend got the brisket platter and it was MELT IN YOUR MOUTH DELICIOUS!!!! Not only was it fork tender and moist, but the flavor was phenomenal! I'm not sure if it's their own spice blend, but it is spot...

The best experience at a restaurant in a very long time. This is our new favorite place to stop and eat. Friendly staff, great menu choices, clean restaurant. Atmosphere is local, professional, and overall great place for a hassle free experience.

The food was perfect! We will come again for sure. We ordered butter pecan cake, fried cod dinner, shrimp and pasta dinner, unsweetened tea, and a sweet tea. (The best ice tea I have had in Tennessee!)

We spend a lot of time at home cooking for ourselves and so when we go out, we are a bit picky.

But when we got our tea and than our food. We looked across the table at each other and made eye contact, instantly agreeing this would become our goto place to eat out. We did not have words because our mouths were busy chewing.

Everything was good. Only thing I did not like was the coleslaw. But coleslaw is a hard thing to make for everyone’s taste and like, So no points lost here for that.

If you are on the interstate, it is not a long drive to come here for a good meal. Better than anything you will get right off exit 126.

Don’t even hesitate, I promise you’re going to enjoy the food here.

I hear lunch from 11-2 everyday is very crowded and a line at the door.

They are closed Tuesday and Sunday’s. And take their last customer at 7pm and will stay open until you are done eating.

I plan to tell the administrative staff at my work and get them to order our next catering from here.

Five stars! Thank...

I stopped by here on Friday night and it turns out that they have specials on Friday nights. The Friday night experience is called "date night" and it is well worth it where the menu is a little bit more fancy than the rest of the week. I had shrimp and bacon wrapped mushrooms for appetizers and crab legs, ribeye steak, baked potato, asparagus and brussel sprouts for main course, plenty for 2 people. It was amazing. Bring your honey, your sweetheart, or ole' ball and chain and you'll have a great meal to start the weekend off with a good mood and on the right track. This rare find is perfect if you like good ole' down home country cooked meals served by wonderful country folks. I will be back to check out other...
