Wholly chow is such a great addition to the nashville food scene. The staff's customer service is amazing! I was pleasantly surprised to learn that everything is fresh and many of the items on the menu are family recipes. I had the chicken and dumplings, sweet potato fries and peach cobbler and it knocked my socks off. Plus with the affordable prices you can't beat it. If you are in the mood for something in your budget but don't want to sacrifice taste and quality please go to wholly chow.

So Ive been to Wholly Chow exactly a handful of times now. Three breakfast visits, and two for lunch. Each time as good if not better than the time before! I had been (im)patiantly awaiting its opening for as long as I had seen its signs posted in the area. i knew this area was prime for another fine eatery, and the Southern, wholesome, fresh, delicious menu they boast has made me a believer. I urge anyone in the area, going to be in the area, or just looking for the next best little hideaway good food eatery to venture into the once office building adjacent to Black Abbey Brewery and get some seriously good grub in your tub. And for all my audio people in Berry Hill, they have a Grab'N'Go bar for you to dart in and out between sessions or send the intern over for an awesome lunch. In case anyone is on the fence... I highly recommend Wholly Chow!!!

Bacon Blues Burger was good but fries was small portion and soggy. Chicken tenders were three small sizes and sweet potato fries were also soggy, and they forgot my cornbread muffin and cole slaw. Service was slow and food was a little cold. They just open so it might get better later. I would wait but if you're hungry at least double check your order.

Went for an early Sunday morning breakfast. I will be back. The service and food was great. I could not ask for a better breakfast and the coffee was excellent.

Just swung in for a take-out experience on a dreary day and am pretty impressed with the gumbo. The roux consistency is pretty much perfect. I was weird and ordered a side of mac & cheese (who orders a side of mac & cheese with gumbo?), which is nothing outstanding, but still creamy and pretty delicious. I want to return to try the crawfish version. The cornbread cake was good, but admittedly I am not a huge bread fan, so I'm probably not the best judge of this side. Back to the gumbo....perfect bite to it...awesome...chock full of shrimp and andouille...no skimping on the protein for sure. I ordered it over brown rice, however, and it looks like it came with white. Meh. Not thrilled with that, but happy that they even give an option. I'll return for a dine-in experience and hopefully give a more in-depth review.

I have eaten at the Wholly Chow three times now. It have enjoyed my experience so far. The location is totally bizarre, though. For such high prices I can't believe how weird their set up is. It is like a cafeteria. I feel like this restaurant should keep the same menu but open up in a completely different location. I hope this location is temporary. Although I have had a good experience it definitely isn't anything to write home about. However, you must try the sweet potato fries. THEY ARE AMAZING! Best I have ever had and they keep me coming back.

We just discovered this place near 100 Oaks. Nice ambience, great food, excellent service for breakfast. I will definitely try it out for lunch.

It's unfortunate that this restaurant's first few weeks seem to have gone so badly. My family and I went for brunch last Saturday. I had no problem with the ambiance. I was thrilled that even though they had a television on, the sound was off. And for once, the music was very low, real "background" music. The service was excellent. The food was really, really fresh - one of our party is extremely fussy about her omelettes, and said it was lovely. One of us asked whether the chef could accomodate a "no-egg" omelette due to allergies, and he created a wonderful substitution with loads of spinach, vegetables, potatoes, and sausage. (The sausage by the way was wonderful.) The coffee was delicious, and they have Perrier, which is a big plus in my book. The biscuits, home made, were delicious. Not gummy at all, and just sweet enough. I'd have preferred plain butter to butter with honey in it, or at least a warning, but I'm sure if I'd asked, they'd have brought some. My one criticism would be that the food was all cooked with a fair amount of oil, but I'm going to ask for minimal oil next time, and I'm betting it won't be a problem. The fixings are fresh, still a real rarity in Nashville breakfast places. And there are so few of them here! Noshville Green Hills, with it's low health scores. Athens, which can be great or meh depending on day and staff mood. The Southern opens early weekdays but not until 10 weekends, so an early breakfast isn't possible. There are a few places in Belle Meade, over priced and under-quality. I'm willing to go back to Wholly Chow a couple of times, based simply on the freshness of the food and the very accomodating staff. I hope they make it.

Fantastic to have a new brunch spot with no wait. The location was odd, back in a industrial park type area. But no wait and plenty of parking had me ready to check this place out. Honestly I had very little expectations for this place. We walked in around 11am on a Saturday and there was about two or three tables sat. First impressions: again odd location, very clean, very new and the menu seemed a little over priced. We sat down and I ordered the sausage, biscuit, egg plate. It came out pretty quick. The home made drop biscuit was smothered in country sausage gravy! So delicious and very big! It also came with a fruit bowl that consisted of pineapples, strawberries, grapes, and melon and cantaloupe. All very fresh and sweet! The eggs were cooked perfectly as well was the huge sausage patties. It also came with a nice sized helping of cheese grits! All in all we left the place stuffed with clean plates and with great friendly fast service. The food had lots of love in it! For the two of us our tab was $20 and we had a very pleasant experience. The only con I have about this place is get your liquor license, everyone loves a mimosa/Bloody Mary at brunch! We will be back. I recommend that you give it a try!
(4)Latanya C.
Omgoodness! Fantastic brunch on Saturday and no wait! I had crabcake eggs benedict that came with fried green tomatoes, and potatoes. Extra crispy bacon was awesome. Great coffee. Fantastic service!
(5)Terranise C.
Very nice place with good food and affordable cost. I had breakfast for Valentine's Day here and boy was I stuffed. After 3 HUGE pancakes I Was Sold. Great Spot
(4)David H.
Great atmosphere and service. I had the bowl of gumbo and it was GREAT. I'm a louisiana boy n this was a great gumbo. Thick rich meaty. Partner had red beans n rice. Great too. I highly recommend.
(5)Douglas B.
I tried the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The meatloaf was nothing special and the potatoes were bland. The same dishes are much better at Cracker Barrel. The dining space is dark and uninviting. I do not expect this place to stay open for long.
(2)BJ T.
We found the breakfast to be delicious and reasonably priced. The fruit was especially fresh. Biscuits with honey butter very good. Cheese grits, tasty but a little dry. We'll be back for breakfast and to try dinner.
(4)Robby E.
We've been in at least once a month for Saturday breakfast and we have had all the menu items, and a lot of the specials, and the common theme is local and fresh. The staff is always amazing, and they put up with a lot from my 7 year old flirter. Pro Tip: let the wait staff talk you into or out of anything; they are NEVER wrong.
(5)Yao G.
The food taste like shit!!! Looks like shit also! Please don't go there. That is really low place!
(1)Katie B.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. I loved the breakfast I had here! It's hard for me to go out somewhere and pay for breakfast that I could make at home myself. But this place knocked it out of the park! Fluffy biscuits, beignets, spicy hash brown casserole, cheesy grits.... All things I cannot make as good at home. I didn't even think I liked grits! Now I'm craving them. They were that good. The breakfast platters are huge. I would never normally eat that much, but I cleaned my plate! I wish this spot was on a better location. The atmosphere is nothing special... It's in an office-style building. No outdoor seating to my knowledge. It's a great addition to our part of town though and there's plenty of parking - I'll be back soon - for more grits!
(4)Rustin C.
Amazing lunch experience. Discovered this though a friend's recommendation. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes with green beans. My wife had the chicken and dumplings with fried okra. Remember this is southern food. There was a bit of a wait after ordering. But that's good because it was prepared fresh and served hot. Generous portions and excellent flavor. Lots of other dishes looked good too. Definitely coming back to try others. The chef here knows southern cooking. We also got the "homemade" banana pudding but it seemed like cook and serve from a box. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting considering how good the main dishes were. They open early every day of the week at 7:00 AM for breakfast. Will also be back to try that. Very quiet and relaxing place. Reminds me of a small town hot spot. Nice work guys. Friendly staff too.
(5)Megan H.
Prompt service even at lunch rush. If you are what you eat, I'm a delicious oyster poy boy. I'm sure they had something healthy on the menu but I don't care. The sweet potato fries and okra were also yummy. The fruit tea was amazing too. Atmosphere is unassuming, prices are......pricey.
(5)Sara G.
You only get one chance to make s first impression and Wholly Chow did not impress me. I ordered the turkey melt which was topped with baby spinach, tomato and a pesto aoli. It was ok but messy. The aoli had a good flavor. It was served with a cup of cheese soup, coleslaw and parmesan potatoes. The soup was good. It could have been slightly better if the onions in it had time to soften. They remained a bit crunchy. The coleslaw was bland and I left it nearly untouched. The potatoes looked delicious but were luke warm and had an undercooked texture. I'm writing this as my boyfriend and I continue to wait for our check. It's been about 15 min now. This place is not that big and its obvious we are done. Needles to say, I was disappointed and won't be back.
(1)Jenifer G.
I went this morning and gave then the basic breakfast test: pancakes, bacon and fruit. I was impressed to be asked if I wanted bacon crispy or regular. They use local bacon. The pancakes are almost plate sized and the batter is good enough not to need syrup. The bacon was excellent and the fruit, well, it was adequate and varied. The Easter brunch menu is amazing and I may have to return. Oh, and the decor is gorgeous
(4)Stephen C.
I went to breakfast here on a Sunday morning with my girlfriend and it was fantastic. The service was great. It was not loud. It was not crowded but still plenty of people eating. The portions provided on any order is Wholly Chow big. We got the Beignets which were the bomb. And then also the Omelet and the Red Eye Breakfast which you can see below. Will definitely return as be spreading the word!
(5)Hall W.
I went to lunch here with my uber Southern gentleman friend - Dan. So I knew I was in for a southern treat. Lets just start with some expectations management. Yes this is Southern, in the sense of broadly Southern, but it isn't tilted to one region of the South or another. Also, decorations wise, this is more of a corporate dining hall rather than a normal restaurant. So I definitely do love the food here. I had their signature gumbo - perfect combination of spices to help out the sausage and shrimp. The shrimp was rather undercooked though (though sometimes its a style thing). The portions are large, but not crazy super South large - however do be prepared! And the price is just right (AKA: hasn't inflated like Nashville's housing prices).
(4)Ashley J.
Wholly HUGE portions! Just had brunch at Wholly Chow, and it was delicious. The place is kind of hard to find in the Berry Hill neighborhood, it's in an old manufacturing building. But once you find it just go on in... you will not be disappointed! We started with an order of beniegts which were light, airy and left my sweet tooth very content. I had the Crab Cake Benedict topped with crawfish and comes with a side of fried green tomatoes, hashbrown casserole and fruit. It was all very tasty! The hasbrowns are a bit spicy, you have been warned, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. Someone else ordered the Mediterranean Frittata, which was also very delicious. All of the portions are massive, so make sure you go in hungry! I didn't try the pancakes, but saw an order go by and wish I had had room to try them! I will definitely be back to this hidden gem.
(4)Bryan W.
Went here for Brunch on Mother's Day and had an awesome Oyster omelette. My girlfriend had crab cakes Benedict that were also on point. Today we ordered take out at the office and it did not disappoint. The dining in service was only ok. Take out personnel was overtly friendly and got our order just right. If there is one actual drawback it is that the inside feels like you are in a community college cafeteria.
(4)Kim A.
Location a little weird. Service okay. Food very homestyle, southern and country, if that's what you want. No healthy choices besides fruit or salad on menu have to inquire. First mistake, should have known better. Atmosphere, questionable. Breakfast was okay. Asked for turkey sausage and scrambled egg whites. They had it but up charged without letting us know, it wasn't listed on menu. Found out they upcharged us for healthy choice items when we got bill. No forewarning. Had them rework the bill. Everything was basically okay until they pulled that up charge on us. They just added it as a normal charge, obviously customers don't come first. Very disappointed, won't be going back nor recommending it to others. Double check your bill before paying!
(1)Jessica S.
The location of Wholly Chow is weird - in the middle of an industrial strip. The restaurant itself reminds me of an office space. We came in today for brunch and while the food was pretty good, the service was terrible. It wasn't super busy - there were open tables, but for some reason, our waitress was incredibly slow. Three tables that were seated well after us got their food WAY before us, which didn't make sense because we ordered some pretty simple grub. I'm assuming she forgot to put our order in when she took it, or put it in incorrectly. She forgot something that we ordered and had to bring it out in the middle of our meal, which was pretty annoying. She also had us remind her what we ordered (which is why I'm thinking she forgot to put our order in). Needless to say, I was extremely unimpressed with their service. The food was decent. We ordered the sunrise breakfast (eggs, bacon, fruit, biscuit), beignet's, and red eye breakfast (comes with a bunch of meat, eggs, fruit). The biscuits that came with our meal were soooo good - we really enjoyed it. I'm torn between whether or not I want to come back here. Our experience with our waitress was a total turn-off and I'm tempted to not return but the lunch menu looks really yummy....Gah!
(3)Linda A.
I end up here for work day lunches when I'm on that side of town. There's something for everyone so it's a solid bet if you're meeting others for lunch. The location is not conducive to a lot of street traffic but they don't suffer for it because there are so many businesses around. I've never seen Wholly Chow even close to empty. My last visit was last week and I had the black and bleu salad. It was very good. You can get in and out quickly on a workday and they keep your tea glass filled. It's perfect for what I need when I go there.
(3)Marilyn H.
The Beignets tasted like sour dough bread covered in powdered sugar. Not good at all. The service was sooooo slow. I'm still waiting on my order. Besides the servers looked like I was bothering her to even place the order. 20 minutes later and I'm still waiting on food. I'm leaving.
(1)David A.
Sunday lunch was good. Luckily our group had a reservation and bypassed the wait. Hot beignets and good coffee. The shrimp and grits was perfect. Very large portions. Go with a strong appetite and empty stomach. Service was very average. Obviously not a seasoned server by handing glasses and plates to be passed down the table. Mgmt spending a little time with training would make this a great place.
(4)Denny K.
It's tough to write an accurate review with only a single visit to a restaurant (or any venue for that matter). So, unless it's exceptional on first visit, I try to visit the places I review several times before passing judgment. Lunch at two different times (one right at noon, the other at 2:30) gave me a taste of the pace of this place. Line out the door at noon plus quite a few folks coming by for pick up. On the other hand, lots of empty tables mid-afternoon. How was service? Actually very good both times...prompt and courteous seating by the wait staff, swift drinks delivery and same same for placing our order. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Slight delay in receiving check during rush at end of lunch...not a big problem. OK, so they can seat and serve...how about the food? Meatloaf: moist, mildly spiced, average. Mashed Potatoes: just like Sunday dinner at home. Fried Okra: nothing new. Pulled Pork: tender and juicy, lightly dressed with a mild tomato-based sauce; pretty darn good. Green beans....meh. Turnip Greens, tenderly cooked, but no distinctive flavors....still good enough to order again. Cole Slaw: creamy and mild, a little dash of black pepper perked it up. French Fries: crispy, hot, seasoned well. Aunt Mable's Chicken and Dumplings: Now we're talkin'! - A big ol' bowl of medium (not thick/not thin) dough squares (called "Pot Pie" in northern climes and "Stewed Chicken in North Carolina) with just the right "tooth", tender chunks of white chicken swimming in a savory gravy. No potatoes; just the dumplings. Corn cake: (served with the dumplings) - very dry - provided the only down side to the measl. The breakfast menu looks so very inviting....I'll be back...for more...for sure....and soon.
(3)Courtney H.
Breakfast here was truly abysmal. I ordered a fried egg over medium and it came out with runny whites. So gross. I sent it back and it came back a little better cooked but utterly unsalted. Cheese grits were dry and flavorless, hash brown casserole was weird, coffee was weak, and our server made multiple mistakes and was hard to track down. The chairs were dirty and stained. This was one of the worst dining out experiences I've had in a long time.
(1)Paul K.
I ordered fruit tea and a veggie burger. The first fruit tea they brought out tasted like kool-ade and grape juice, not bad but not my thing. Later on they brought a refill and it tasted like a tea bag with a slight hint of pink soda. Not sure what was up with that but that was not tasty. Fries were tasty but tasted a bit like they'd been reheated, I ate about four and decided I wasn't interested in them mostly based on consistency. Just kind of rubbery. Veggie burger I took two bites of and was done. The patty was kind of tasteless, the tomato on it also a bit tasteless. It was what I imagine meat eaters think all veggie burgers taste like. It was an $8+ condiment delivery system and not much else. Took 95% of the meal home as it would have been a waste to leave it. I didn't eat it, I think the wife did or threw it away. I tried to put that experience behind me. I was disappointed, I wanted to leave, and it took a good 12 minutes to flag wait staff, pass card, sign and leave. I think there were 4 other tables at that point. I just wanted out. I might try this again, but not hours after food might have been prepped. I have no words for a disappointing fry.
(2)Kim Y.
Hmmm, no love for a new brunch spot in town? I can contend the location is odd. I was also there within the first two weeks of opening and could tell by the fact someone was calling about being locked out of somewhere - that they are experiencing some growing pains with this former commercial test kitchen as well. Bummer on that. Onto the good stuff: Service! Our server was friendly, accommodating and we got everything in a timely fashion. Food! We tried brunch on a Saturday morning and it was good. They have Roast coffee and solidly delicious sweet drop biscuits. Very different from a Monells or Loveless traditional style but I really liked it. My shrimp omelette was perfectly cooked and portions were fair. My recommendations would be as follows: open up the feel of the space more. Windows! Offer those yummy biscuits in a basket to the table pre-brunch. Get a liquor license. I love my Bloody Mary brunch and so does the rest of this boozehound town. You could even just get a beer license and offer drinks from the Black Abbey next door. Ain't no thang though, I live nearby and would eat here again!
(3)Stephanie C.
Man, I really like the food at this place. It's a super tasty brunch destination. I've had the eggs benedict with ham twice and I highly recommend it. Last time, my husband tried the burger and he was in love. The portions are pretty ginormous too. I will say however that the atmosphere is a little odd. Like..."hey check out at the great food inside this office building with strange murals and weird furniture." But if you are looking to get some good brunch in your belly, I would definitely still check it out. The food here is ON POINT.
(4)M W.
Enjoyed the short drive over from my complex. It was a nice place inside an office building which provides lunch and breakfast to the nearby factory's during the week. Great idea! It's BYOB so make sure you bring your own bubbly or vodka if you enjoy Mimosas or Bloody Mary's at brunch. I had the shrimp florentine it was okay I wished it had more flavor. My friend had the Pollo Ranchero which had tons of flavor and kick. I would definitely recommend it. Since we are foodies we tried the crab cakes and beignets. Loved loved the beignets but the crab cakes were just aight. I'm a east coast girl so nothing beats Maryland Crab cakes but I thought I'd give them a go. I do recommend you stop in and diner here.
(3)Stefanie M.
BYOB! BYOB! BYOB! Sheesh, you'd think they would put that on their website so people know! We brought champagne and vodka for mimosa's and bloody Mary's and it was great! Our server opened our champagne and served it for us and even modified the bloody mary mix for us! Our server was hard to figure out, she was super efficient but something about her wasn't friendly. We spent the whole brunch trying to figure out if she hated us or not! Everything was really, really great! We had Shrimp and Grits, Crab Cake Benedict and some Mexican taco thing (HUGE!) and everything was incredible. Very fresh, big portions, everything came with fruit...it was just really, really good! I almost don't want to say how much I liked it for fear that it will start getting too busy and I'll have to wait! We arrived there at 12:15 and got the last table but that must have been the end of the "rush" as it started emptying out right after that! Make sure you check this place out, bring your favorite champagne and enjoy! You won't regret it!
(4)Dana N.
I have worked in the 100 Oaks area for almost 10 years, and I am super happy that Wholly Chow is here now. Their grab-and-go lunches are the best! I can always count on a fresh salad, sandwich, or wrap that I can run in, pay for, and be back at my desk eating in under 10 minutes. The portions are generous and the food is tasty. Although I have only dined in once, I found the service attentive and the reuben + fries I ordered were piping hot and flavorful. Wholly Chow is great, and I'm glad it's open. The location may seem odd to everyone that doesn't work around here. Trust me, we needed this place! It's wonderful to give my lunch money to a local business without having to sit in the Bransford/Thompson Lane traffic to get to Berry Hill.
(4)Mark W.
No change, food is good but so very slow for lunch that I can't go here because I can't get back to work on time.
(2)Lisa W.
They have developed a lovely Southern menu with a heavy Coastal influence. The red beans with dirty rice were good enough I will return just for that dish. The crawfish Mac n cheese was gooey goodness. Lastly, the fried okra, it's done the right way and isn't that slimey restaurant service style so many places offer up. It is lightly breaded and seasoned the way your grandmother made it. We arrived early for lunch and were seated promptly. The space has a low key vibe. Not the least bit fancy but nice for lunch or breakfast/brunch. Our server was friendly, Wendy kept our sweet tea and fruit tea glasses filled and gave solid advice about menu items. Having spent a good bit of time in Mississippi it reminded me of a small town restaurant I've been to outside of Tupelo many times.
(3)Yes S.
A great option for anyone who enjoys good food in a quiet location. The decor isn't fancy and I hope they get a liquor license, but the food is on point. I'll update with pictures the next time I go. Try the meatloaf for lunch and anything for breakfast.
(5)Barry V.
Just had a Saturday brunch. Five of us all tried different selections. Every dish was prepared exactly as requested. Service was excellent. Highly recommended.
(5)Dat C.
The best breakfast food in Nashville. How could this place not get 5 stars? Service is amazing and prompt, food is to good to be true, I have had many options from their menu and their brunch menu and I've never been more satisfied. Go, go, go!
(5)Iknow B.
My review is based on a single lunch experience but that may be enough to keep me from trying them again. First, the food. I thought the menu had a variety of choices and instead of the day's special I got the Jambalya based on my server's recommendation which of course was based on "it's one of our most popular dishes." Thanks for nothing. Anyway, it was mediocre with very little andouille or any meat for that matter. I also ordered the "soup of the day" which happened to be chili which was worse than bland. Basically beans with a dismal amount of any meat and worst of all...tasteless! Like a can of pintos thrown in a pot of tomato paste and water. Have you ever heard of spices? The final straw was the fact that I was charged almost $6 for a cup of that mess when the menu clearly states that adding a cup of soup with any entree is (around) $3. When I pointed this out to my server after receiving the bill, she checked behind the great Oz's curtain only to come back with "that doesn't apply to the soup of the day." Oh really? They change your menu wording! Or at least inform someone about upcharges when your menu is unclear or flat out wrong. Her defense was, "noone has complained about this before." Great! She just finished telling me earlier when I was ordering that she was new and only had been there three or four weeks. I should have written this review right after my miserable lunch in November 2014 but I wanted to tone it down a bit. SO for me it still remains a wholly crap experience!
(1)Cara P.
Overpriced, mediocre food that took an unreasonable amount of time to come (other tables seated after us were served, paid, & gone multiple times before we got our food - with no acknowledgement from them that anything was wrong, no apology, no offer of comps). And the food upset our stomachs.
(1)DaVaughn W.
Food was excellent as usual!! Gumbo was spot on!!! Made an order over the phone for 5 coworkers and everything was perfect!! The young lady who took my order was patient and pleasant (Lauren)!! Excellent food, Great service, Clean establishment!!!
(5)Bob G.
Location is well off the beaten path in an industrial park near the freight yard. Make of that what you will. At least there's ample parking and little street traffic which alone is unique and rare in Nashville - and a nice change from the strangely cramped and over-crowded feel of most of the hip parts of town. If you're looking for a total gut-grenade breakfast, with cheese in nearly everything including the hash browns and the grits, this will serve your needs nicely. The breakfast menu is funky-south: I had a crawfish gouda omelet with hash brown casserole on the side and it was stout and tasty The sausage I sampled from other's plates is a spicy, somewhat fat almost cajun style link - and it's delicious. Will do this again.

Update: try the salads and soups. They are one of the only farm-to-table places in this area. I didn't try anything too interesting, just their grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Perhaps years of corporate microwaved chicken has lowered my standards a bit, but the sandwich was basic and good. The fries were crisp and fresh. The best aspects of their menu seem fixated around breakfast, so I need to try that and edit this review. Overall, I felt I was getting local, fresh ingredients prepared competently. But that's all. There was nothing particularly interesting about it or what I saw on their lunch menu. I'd prefer this over places like Logan's because of their focus on local produce (and it's not a franchise), but it really isn't that much more interesting.
(4)Michael S.
Pros: I went for breakfast and got the fat person meal. The pancakes, biscuit & gravy, and sausage were really tasty. My foodie wife liked the coffee and the French toast. It's nice to have another option for breakfast on this side of town besides Pfunky Griddle and Monell's. The servers were friendly and attentive Cons: as others have noted, the ambiance is very strange. In a town of overly hip and well designed restaurants, the fluorescent lighting and diner/cafeteria feel seems out of place. Especially with their logo and "natural" theme, you would think they'd try a little harder. I felt the prices were a little high, and my "real maple syrup" seemed a little thick All in all, it wasn't bad and since it's convenient I will probably return at some point - but if you're in any other part of town and want to pay $11 for breakfast, I would probably go somewhere else
(3)Charles C.
I worked in the restaurant business for years. It's always obvious when someone with no experience opens a restaurant. That's the vibe at Wholly Chow. Mediocre food, Luke warm food, scattered and poor service. Very amateur. I've tried it for breakfast and lunch. No need to go back.
(1)Ashley H.
The food here is delicious. It's the best of Southern food! You get huge portions for your money. We will return often!
(5)Ian F.
Quite possibly the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had, not to mention the tenderness of the meat as well as that tangy sauce of theirs. For dessert I ordered the peach cobbler and ice cream, again very satisfied just as I was with the main course. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for good food at great prices.
(5)Sean S.
Had lunch here today. Excellent oyster poboy. Friendly service and nice selection of Southern dishes.
(4)J C.
Fantastic brunch. Food is a creative mix of comfort with a twist. A must visit restaurant off the beat and path. Bravo to all.

I had the crab cake Benedict and it was absolutely delicious! The crab cakes are real and fresh! It was topped with hollandaise sauce and crawfish with a poached egg. It came with side of hash brown casserole, fried green tomatoes, and seasonal fruit! I highly recommend this restaurant! I will be back!

Delicious! Each time we go the food is wonderful, the staff is quick and friendly. The oyster po'boy is fresh and delicious, best in Nashville! Their portion sizes are always large so don't be shy to ask for a doggie bag!
