One22West — Restaurant in Tullahoma

TL;DR version. Food was great, service was great, atmosphere was great, it had trivia games, great beer selections.

Lets start with the atmosphere. I came here for lunch and for dinner. Lunch was quite and service was very friendly and quick. The place was very clean and the bathroom test also very clean.

Food time. Myself and my party all tried various options. Steaks were big and juicy cooked exactly as requested. Hamburgers came out amazing. They were large, spicy and tangy. Very juicy with a little crisp on the bun. excellent. Also came here for dinner with the same experience. Had appetizers in this case fried mushrooms. They were very fresh and juicy inside. this time around we had pasta which came again in large quantities. Though there could be more bread. Also steak on a stick which was great as well and very tender and juicy.

Drinks. While we did not have any beers there was a large selection. I myself created a sampler of all the apple ciders they had and they had some great tasting ones on tap. I can only assume the local bears would be the same.

The staff was very friendly talkative and interesting. They were involved in the local trivia that was going on (Monday night) and some good stories to share and new interesting things about the local area. We had no issues with the staff in anyway.

This is a fun place to check out. It does cost more then some of the other places in town. expect about 12 to 15 dollars if you have food and a drink. I will likely come back one more time before I fly back home.

I recommend this place over any of the food...

For a small dining experience that is trying for a higher end quality made from a bar the experience is mediocre at best. Stars for service are awarded based upon the experience as a whole. First look to the inside the bar seems to be the main focus with an abstract selection, however greeted at the door by a host that is finely dressed for a presentation to give the restaurant some class so the thought for the meal has to be up to par. Table experience for the most part was bland with no interaction from the waitress leaving you to read the book like menus on your own; seemingly having no interest to full fill any intrest one may have with to which one could compare to Red Lobster. A 20 minute wait for a main meal to go from kitchen to table is not at all a long wait but what is poor kitchen service is when only one person's meal arrives to the table making other patrons sit and watch as others eat for 10 minutes before their dinner is served. The kitchen with their low caliber cooks took it upon themself to butcher an already processed bird leaving a dry, dreary piece of meat in a bath of sauce that is over abundant to more than likely keep the pasta from returning to the dried state it was in before it was removed from the box. This was the first time partaking in an encounter at this establishment but with the events that could not hold attention and preformed service with what they are wishing to achieve why would one give them...

OK, first of all: Sami and Team, thank you for a wonderful evening. I appreciate you wishing The Shannon happy birthday and helping to make her feel even more special.

We shall go chronologically

I called ahead and was offered call-ahead service. Great!

I called again, because we were running late for our 45 min drive from home - McMinnville.

Parking: right behind the building!

HUGE chalkboards with announcements / specials.

We ordered toasted ravioli and bang bang chicken. Wow. We finished it all by the end of the meal. WARM, HOUSE marinara for the raviolis and the perfect amount of BANG in the BANG BANG.

Next course, a salad with this amazing raspberry dressing PLUS the O22W pizza with extra sauce — cut in squares. Soooooo good.

I was told by the Amazing Sami that there was one weekend-only special left: 8 oz prime rib, end piece, extra seasoning, Cooked medium. Ummmm, Sami, yes please!!! I ate every bit of the prime rib. Each bite was better than the last. Two dipping sauces and blue cheese crumbles.

Shannon ordered the “Cavatappi” pasta with large slices of steak in it. Side of yummy bread and side of scrumptrelescent mushrooms!!!

Good job on the tall, thin cans of Hard Seltzer!

Dessert — cookies and cream cheesecake with a side of chocolate. The birthday girl forgot to share and I’m not mad!!

Perfect! Thank you to the entire...
