What do you do when you find yourself in the middle of TN country with a hungry infant? Â You search Yelp for a place to stop! Â We were in a big group so I got to taste a few different orders. (after taking care of the infant) Â It was like sitting at the buffet table! Â First and foremost I thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate zuchinni cake. Â I also enjoyed the red beans & rice, tilapia, pulled pork, bisquits w/apple butter, cheese sticks, it was all delicious!
Review Source:Country/American cafe set in the slow-paced town of Bell Buckle. Â The decor is country and quaint with lots of TN Walking Horse memorabilia. Â Most everything we have ordered has been great, but there have been a few occasions where the veggie sides have clearly tasted canned. Â Try the BBQ plate. Â It is delicious and served topped with pickles.
Review Source:Comfortable down home southern cookin'.  Very unpretentious, but tasty.  Ample portions, good varietal  selection.  We had the pulled pork and the smothered pork chop, and both were very well done along with the sides (recommend the fried okra...) and overall seemed to be the authentic down-home deal.  Not pricey at all, very nice wait staff, and good service.  And their oatmeal cake with caramel sauce (don't forget to add the ice cream too....) dessert is really to die for.  Ample parking close by. Â
About the only thing that I'd add, and only because it's an election year, is that If I had stood up during lunch and  yelled out, "Hey!, I'm voting for Obama, anybody else??...", I really don't think it would have "gone over that well", with the clientelle that was present, but I guess that's because we were a bunch of tourists from "Californy", adn we probably aren't the usual folks coming in for lunch....
So, recommended, if you make the trip there, but it is surely out of the way, because the town of Bell Buckle, really isn't on the way to anywhere.....
If you have a hankering for good ole Southern food, the Bell Buckle Café is a great place to go.  It has the requisite 1 meat and 3 side plates and other offerings.  We went here to have lunch for brunch on Sunday.  Be sure to get here before noon because any time after that, they get really packed!  It is such a quaint place to eat.  Ambiance is awesome.  We had our lunch in no time at all and it was all good.  They have amazing desserts also. Â
Just remember to come here before the lunch rush comes. Â Also, after eating, you can go to the various stores in the square. Â It brings back nostalgia.
If you're standing there and wondering if it's open, it is. Don't let the steps up to what looks like a replica of old-timey doors put you off, they're old timey doors, they open and are functional.
The food that I've had, it's ok. For vegetarians they have the veggie plate, which is 4 of whatever sides you want. Their fried veggies, let's not call them vegetarian though, there's definitely a meaty taste.
The service has been great every time I've been. I don't think I'd change anything about it except to expand the main queuing area a bit and perhaps put up a sign telling you to not come in if there's someone sitting outside taking names (it means it's going to be jammed)
Even during the Moon Pie festival the wait was pretty reasonable, the food got to us pretty quickly.
It does its job well, and if you're looking for a restaurant in Bell Buckle, I think that may be your option. The only other place for food in that area is the coffee shop on the corner as far as I know.
It's a page out of early 1980's dining in a 1940's strip mall.
I love the bellbuckel, great service, prompt and friendly. Â Veggie plate for $7.95 - delicious, their red new potatoes buttery and soft. Â Red beans and rice, cucumbers and corn mush, all a tasty little snack and enough to split between two. Charming little cafe if you are on a back roads trip. Edible items for sale and T -shirts in the small shop.
Review Source:Bell Buckle is just a lovely town... And this restaurant fits the town perfectly. The first time we visited Bell Buckle we stopped into the cafe and were very impressed. The cafe' is situated in the main 150+ year old building that holds all of the shops and stores in Bell Buckle.
The cafe' is absolutely charming both inside and out. No frills here, just pure 100% Southern hospitality and country charm. The servers here are very friendly, and the food is great! If I could recommend the pulled pork--It is some of the best I have ever had!
The town of Bell Buckle is definitely worth a trip of it's own! And don't even think about leaving until you have tried this little TN gem, the Bell Buckle, cafe!
This is one of my favorite places to eat. I grew up in Bell Buckle...my grandparents lived there and it was one of my favorite places to visit. If you love country cooking, you will feel right at home here. I nearly always get the smoked pork chop with fried okra, fried potatoes, and white beans...real stick-to-your ribs comfort food. The service is laid back and friendly but efficient. The atmosphere is very comfortable, although it's generally busy and there's a fair amount of traffic. The pricing is very reasonable for what you get...my pork chop plate is around nine dollars and worth every bite.
Do save some room for their oatmeal cake! :)
I happened to pass by this tiny restaurant on my way to Jack Daniel's Distillery. Yes I was lost, and thought I would come back here to eat dinner. On my way back from the distillery, I took a detour to stop by this country cafe for a quick dinner. It was almost 5pm on Sunday. I walked in, there were a few people chatting awaiting their food. I was sat in the corner, and my waitress, Megan came to take my order. I had no idea what I wanted, so I ordered BBQ pork sandwich with fries. Order came out quick, and pork was absolutely succulent. It was delicious, and fries were hot and crispy. And total was $6.12 without the tip. It was a lot better than fastfood that I would've paid the same amount for. I was glad that I took a detour and stopped for a quick bite.
Review Source:THIS IS THE PLACE TO PICK!!!!!! Â WOW!
Exceptional food and experience! Â What a step back in time. Â The country drive was near perfect. Â Enjoy the grazing cows, gorgeous green foothills, and imagineable dream country homesites with shady old trees spaced apart just so! Â You can just "feel it" as you walk through the old wooden door entrance. Â When you walk in you will see items for sale such as local honey, t-shirts, and other sundries. Â While I waited for my food I listened to bluegrassy music while gazing out the windows adorned with red country curtains. Â I could see an enormous weeping willow tree dancing slowly in the wind. Â I enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, perfectly seasoned and salted fried potatoes, fresh country sliced tomatoes, and turnip greens served with the option of green pepper hot sauce. Â Each item was better than you could imagine. Â The homeade chocolate cobbler was thick, rich, and swimming around a large dollop of vanilla bean ice cream. Â All I can say is if you haven't been, it is a MUST!
Great place for the best of country comfort food in a restaurant!
I am still having trouble trying to order something other than the smoked chops, they are that good. Â Last night, I tried the smothered chops because they are not a regular menu item and a friend recommended them. Â They were great! Â Extremely tender, good sized chops with a savory gravy with mushroom pieces in it. Â As great as they were, I am going back to my smoked chops next time.
The sides are good-sized portions and you get three sides with a dinner. Â This is enough for a normal person to wind up too full to have dessert. Â However, try to save room because the desserts are also good!
I got the new potatoes, cuke and toms salad, and fried corn for sides. Â Ate everything and didn't have room for dessert. Â
There was live music with Emilee and Big Mike and I believe they perform once a month. Â
The restaurant is in little Bell Buckle and there are antique shops and an ice cream store at the location. Â Recommend getting there early on Friday or Saturday nights or be prepared to wait a little bit for seats.
Tonight was about the third time that I have been to the Bell Buckle Cafe, and I have always had a great meal. Â There was quite a crowd there tonight, but we were seated quickly. Â There was some great bluegrass music being played tonight,
This time I had the fried tilapia with white beans, turnip greens, and cucumber/tomato salad. Â It was all delicious! Â The iced tea was also very good. Â Our waitress could have been a bit more attentive, but the service was nice. Â Overall, another great experience at the BBC.
If you are in the area, give it a try (and pick up some Moon Pies on the way out).
The food is so good I always get the porkchops there cooked on charcoal that's so rare at restaurants all the food is so good and portion size is great the restaurant is in the middle of there downtown which is about 10 shops which are all real fun to explore it has a pop of about 500 we drive about 45 mins to go here at least once a month I highly recommend this small town restaurant also they are the home of the tv cola moon pie festival in June  and fall festival in oct two events that bring a lot of people
Review Source:Heavens, I thought I'd be the first person to review Bell Buckle Cafe, apparently not. :)
We stopped here after an afternoon of antiquing. Â Hubby and I only had one thing in mind: Â cheeseburgers. Â
Their cheeseburgers were amazing, and OMG, cheap!
Their sweet tea is also notable.  Great service, good food, low prices.  What else can  you ask for?
Having eaten here many times now I thought I'd finally write a review...the service is good. Although it can get really busy and crowded here at dinner time they still do a good job of getting your order and keeping your glass full. The food has always been good and I have tried everything from a daily special to the standard items on the menu. The meatloaf plate with veggies has been my favorite! The catfish and bbq plate has been great too. Won't say the speed of the food getting to you is fast when it is crowded but all things considered it isn't slow either. Besides there is often live music to listen too so what's the rush? Only thing I can caution a visitor about is to make a reservation or there might be a wait on a Friday or Saturday night as this place is usually hopp'in! If you are in the area and want some good food and down home service I highly recommend!
