Let me begin by saying that I grew up in rural middle Tennessee and I know good (great), Southern cooking. My mom, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, and extended family members all know their way around a kitchen and exactly why cast iron skillets are a staple in any good one. They all still make my ultimate favorite meals, but if I... More

A friend asked me to meet him at Cool Cafe on yesterday and it was a good experience. They have a short line where you can choose between several meat choices and vega as well, and everything we had was really good. Friendly atmosphere, and the manager came to our table, asking if everything was up to our approval. Good... More

You can't find real southern food at any other restaurant around unless you go to your moms or grandmas. I laugh at some of of the other reviews complaining about plastic silverware and styrofoam plates. The food is so good who cares. It's prepared fresh every day and you can't beat that. Not to mention the serving size you get.... More

Okay, I know food prices are going up, but 75 cents for HALF of a deviled egg. Please, give me a break. Yes, I can get my greens, peas and fried chicken but it's pricey. I believe in a decent wage and prices, but I think they need to re-evaluate some prices....corn bread, eggs, etc.

Cool Cafe serves huge portions of well cooked typical southern fare - fried chicken, meat loaf, greens, okra, squash, corn bread, biscuits, sweet or unsweet iced tea.

Great home style cooking. Wonderful southern comfort food. Fresh and prepared daily. The menu is wonderful and a good variety for adults and children. They have the best meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and broccoli salad. Best home cooked meal away from grandmas. Great staff also.

Bring a good appetite because they are going to load up your plate with some great southern cooking. Cafeteria style service and entrees vary from day to day. Huge selection of hot and cold veggies. Be sure and try the deviled eggs. Great in house made desserts. Lunch only, Sunday to Friday.

The cool cafe is an awesome place with delicious food but soooooo pricey!!

Stop by before the lunch crowd and pick up the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, spinach and the rools (mmmm-rolls are really yummy). Very friendly staff! Love this place!
