I give four stars because our family has had good to great experiences since we've started going on a regular basis. We've typically enjoyed the food, especially breakfast. One thing that Vittles could work on to make me happier- consistency. Every now and again I can't help but feel that things are loose in the back. The servers are constantly turning over (which feels weird for this type of restaurant) and the food has on occasion fallen short...not terrible, just inconsistent. I recommend this place to friends, but with a little caveat...

My sis and I stopped in around lunch time on a weekday. The service was friendly and the food was decent. It definitely did not live up to the hype; my Aunt says it's one of her favorite places in Nashville. There are much better places in Nashville, in my opinion. We tried the fried chicken. It was pretty good but the sides were blah. You can also find much better fried chicken in Nashville. The place itself could use some updating, but I care more about food and service than ambiance. Service was good; food was average. I have been told my numerous people that if liver is your thing, this is one of the best places in Nashville for liver. I can't really comment as I don't care for liver.

Around the table we had: Waffle breakfast for our two Littles, biscuits and gravy, smokey mountain eggs, and chicken and waffles. We all enjoyed the entire meal. Although I prefer crispy waffles, the rest of the fam doesn't. The chicken was moist, the biscuits just right, and the hash brown casserole was really good. All at a very affordable price. My college son said he would be back.

My husband and I were near this location and were in a hurry! We had not left enough time with traffic and eating to get to the event we were heading to in time. We walked into Vittles and asked about how long it takes to get food, one of the employees told us it takes maybe 5-10 minutes so we decided to risk it. The decor is definitely lacking, I know its in a strip center but it feels pretty dingy inside. I was a little hesitant to stay when we walked in, it was only because the girls working were so friendly! We sat down and immediately picked out our dinner and the server was very attentive to make sure we kept our time there as short as possible. It only took about 10 minutes to get our food and it was alright. We decided to share chicken fried chicken with a side of mashed potatoes, lima beans and green beans. The green beans and lima beans were nothing spectacular, the type of beans you would expect out of a can. The mashed potatoes were a bit cold and the chicken fried chicken was really salty. We ate it and the server brought us our bill quickly and we were out of there in a timely manner! They were really great to accommodate our time constraint and the girls working were very friendly, the food just wasn't very outstanding.

Some what tasty. Food lacks seasoning. Had the pork chop. Well fried. If your in Donelson and want home cooking stop here but bring salt, pepper and butter

This was a horrid dining experience the mac & cheese was soup like my friends pork chop wasn't cooked all the way I had my check on my table before I was asked how my food was. I guess we didn't qualify for dessert.....lol..... I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. First impression is the lasting impression!!! The "fried corn" is just canned cream corn & the table behind me had to find their own server after being here 15 mins just to get drinks. Smh....the server just grabbed food from one plate with her hand & put it on another & served it. YUCK YUCK YUCK

I give this 4 stars cause it is exactly what it is supposed to be: no frills, basic good southern style food. I was there peak of lunch hour. They were busy, but I was quickly seated and served. Service was very fast, and friendly. Tried my basic gauge for this kind of place: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans, with a cornbread muffin. It was good, nice portions. The dish could have used some gravy, but it was ok without it. I'll return, try breakfast.

I would give less than one star if possible. I ordered food. The waitress felt the need to the waitress that took my order that this was her table. This set the tone. The check was delivered before the water. That made no sense to me. The hashbrowns were cold in the middle and room temperature on the outside. The eggs were cooked but were cold as well. The bacon, toast and water were fine. The waitress asked before I took a bite if I needed anything else. I never saw her again. She was suppose to check me out. So I finally went to the front of the store and had to wait for the waitress to check me out. I literally took 2 bites of hash browns and three bites of eggs. I hate half a slice of toast and half a strip of bacon. She never asked if something was wrong with the food. Never returned to refill the water. The waitress was very friendly with other patrons. They seemed to know her or were regulars. I don't get it how people are ranking them high. My guess is that they had a different cook. I saw nothing redeeming about this restaurant for me. But again, they were friendly to others perhaps I need to know them to be treated with any type of respect. Good luck if you go.

The food was delicious, the staff was nice as could be and the prices for the portions were unbeatable. I most definitely recommend this place if you like good old country southern cooking!
(4)Jeffrey B.
Good Southern cooking. Sit and be sever style. The only menu item not to my liking are the greens. A bit too much vinegar. Props to the fried chicken and chicken fried steak in white gravy
(5)Hamilton M.
The service was quick. The food was fresh and delicious. I had the Mountain Eggs. The portion size was large and a great value. The coffee is really good too. I'm so pleased to have a great breakfast place in the area!

We were very disappointed when we arrived that they only serve breakfast until 10:30 on Sunday. We arrived at 10:35. Staff was awesome. Everyone very friendly. Club sandwich was good. Made on sour dough bread. Fries good too. Hubby had country fried steak. Said it was a bit bland.

Huddled into the shoulder of the Crossings shopping center at Lebanon Pike off Briley Parkway. It's as close to a family diner as you'll find in this area of Donelson: a little homey, a little folksy. The wait staff are friendly, the food is "home cookin' style," and they are now open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, although the morning hours are a late start for any real breakfast on the weekdays. Soon, according to one of the check out staff, they'll be open at 7 a.m. on the weekends for breakfast. We had dinner: salmon croquettes, mac-n-cheese, and fried okra for me. My partner had the chicken fried steak, ambrosia and mashed potatoes. All dishes were classically prepared and pleasant. No ball-out-of-the-parks, but filing. The owner makes the cornbread muffins herself. We will go back, especially to try breakfast.

This was The Dinner Bell when I was a girl, my grandparents took me here often and it is a very fond memory. After they passed, and although the restaurant changed names and owners, my friends and family stuck with it. The food and service had always been fine and I enjoyed the nostalgia. We were regulars, sometimes three or four times a week! Sadly, my friends and family will no longer be going to this location for our meals. On several occasions I have been witness to overhearing a great deal of yelling and cursing coming from the back of the establishment, and have noticed a GREAT deal of turnover. I started to pay closer attention because I know that a lot of turnover in an establishment is usually a bad sign, and I was curious about all the yelling. On some visits I noticed the usually peppy, friendly server girls looking very nervous and not acting their selves. I then took it upon myself to ask a few of the past employees, who I had gotten to know over the time they worked there and I saw out other places, as to why this is such. I was shocked beyond belief to learn that they are very poorly treated by their boss, and even more horrifying, some of the kitchen staff are made to cross-contaminate the kitchen, and even the food, when sanitary items, like gloves, are senselessly not ordered by the owners. I know from working in restaurants many years myself how important it is for good sanitary precautions to be in place. It's a very big "no no" to cross-contaminate a kitchen, whether you are a business or just in your home. I have children, I wouldn't chop up meat and then put a plate or bowl that I am about to serve to them on that same spot without thoroughly washing that spot first. But, that is exactly what some of the staff are instructed to do at Vittles! The past employees also complained that they were possibly stolen from because their paychecks never came out right. My fellow man and Nashvillans are being mistreated, stolen from, and potentially poisoned. From the outside, Vittles of Donelson looks like a loving, family oriented business, but I assure you, they are not. This review hurts my heart. I held Vittles very close to it as a continuance of my memories of people I loved very much. However, I can no longer risk my families health for mere memories, and I can no longer support such an establishment.

Not good food, but good service. Honestly, I do not get this place. They are all about "serving my ma's the best cookin..." bla bla bla but their food is not made from scratch and it is not good in the conventional way. I am not going to come back. What saved them from a one star is that the service is excellent! Super nice and helpful staff.
(2)Jason R.
I'm a huge fan of this place. The food is great, and they give a lot of it! The prices are very competitive, so with a large family it is very helpful. The only suggestions I would like to see happen is better table and chairs, they are old and often sticky. I would also like to see them upgrade their coffee ;-)

I had a great time here. I had the country fried steak and free waffles! My service was quick and the wait staff were exceptional. The food was ok. I've had better but it's a nice place to grab a quick breakfast.
(4)Robin D.
Blah, boring, lacking in flavor. Always trying to find a locally-owned brunch/breakfast place near home so we tried it. Unfortunately, we sleep late on weekends and didn't arrive until 11. Alas, breakfast service ended at 10:30. We stayed anyway and opted for lunch. We weren't told the specials, like the people that came in after us - maybe that would have been good. So disappointed in the canned veggies and general lack of creativity. "Down Home cooking" is a big stretch. Friendly people and good tea. But that's all I've got.
(1)Dawn S.
Great catfish! Better service would make you a 5 star.

This place has just what I needed for breakfast this morning - turkey and dressing with cornbread! Delicious, and served by an excellent waitress in no time at all! We will definitely be back - Vittles is a great neighborhood find.

I love comfort food and after trying Vittles in Donelson twice, I can say this is my "go to" spot now when I am missing grandmas cooking. If you want stick to your ribs southern food, this will be your place!

My mother and I had breakfast at Vittles yesterday. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect at any meat and three-type establishment. The menu has ample options, which are well-priced, I might add. The food was good, and the service was amazing-you would be hard-pressed to find a group of friendlier waitresses anywhere. So, what's the problem? Apparently, a lack of small kitchen appliances. Specifically, according to our waitress, the place only has one waffle iron and it only makes one waffle at a time. You can see how this creates a problem at a bustling breakfast place that has both a Big Waffle Breakfast and Chicken and Waffles on the menu. Yes----it takes a lifetime to get your food if you make the mistake of ordering any dish that involves waffles. Of course, both of us happened to order waffles, so the wait was doubly bad. And, with only one waffle iron, no two waffles can come out at once, so you can forget getting served at the same time as your dining companion. I will probably check out Vittles for lunch, but count me out for breakfast!

Vittles of Donelson is utterly unremarkable. It's a mile from my home and I've eaten there three times during the 2 years I've lived here. This place is trading on the sentiment and charm of "home cooking" and "southern comfort meat and three" but they in no way do justice to that culinary tradition. Generic corporate giants like Shoney's and Perkins are better, Cracker Barrel blows this place away. I'd love to support a local business but the food is no better than the Kroger or Publix deli. They do no more than the bare minimum in terms of ingredients, flavor, and preparation. Service was honestly limited to the minimum required to get paid. No drink refills, no "how is everything", nothing but what seemed to be a deliberate avoidance of eye contact with us. It reminds me of those dives off the interstate in the middle of nowhere that know most of their customers are travelling and not coming back anyway so don't even try. We gave this place a good faith opportunity to win our continued business and are giving up on it as a waste of time and money.

Great meat&3! I have had the country fried steak, and the fried pork chops. My wife has had the catfish and the meat loaf. We both thought everything was very tasty and well seasoned. The green beans are THE best I ever ate. Great addition to Donelson dining!
