Extremely sub-par experience...poor customer service and unfriendly staff...then only saving grace was the food was fresh; however, at nearly $18 for a BLT (with only 1.5 slices of Bacon) bag of chips and SMALL (advertised as Medium) sweet tea this restaurant is WAY OVERPRICED and limited value.While the location may be convenient I would recommend that you only visit if you have any coupons to manage the expense; and also, ONLY IF the proprietor changes their serving sizes and offers reasonable portion sizes for the prices that they charge.I left hungrier than when I arrived with my wallet much thinner.

Barbecue Nachos were great! Banana pudding was good too, tiny serving though.

Went to Lebanon because I had several appts at wilson county Vanderbilt hospital. I live 1.5hrs away. When leaving at around 3:45, i was passing a strouds bbq. I frequent the strouds in cookeville but i live north west and wouldnt be going through ckvl on way home. I stopped and bought a value pack 1, pork with coleslaw. Got home took out of bag and there was one tiny cup of bbq sauce for 6 sandwiches? There was a tiny cup with brown water in it???? Have no idea what it was. When i took a taste of coleslaw it was the worst i have ever tasted. Just by looking at it, you can tell that some shredded fresh cabbage was added to what i guess was old rotten slaw as the new cabbage hadnt soaked up the dressing. It just tasted rotten. Threw the slaw out which i usually put on my pork sandwich and had to pull out the sweet baby rays sauce i had in fridge. Probably be a while b4 i revisit strouds in cookeville as the slaw left a very bad taste in my mouth and its not bbq without the sauce.

This place SUCKS! I got the value meal with the bbq sandwich, macaroni, and a sweet tea. The macaroni was literally noodles and dry cheese it tasted awful. My sandwich was super dry as well. The cashier filled my cup with so much ice my drink was gone in one sip. And the cherry on top is the fact they charge a 3.4% “convenience fee” for paying with a card. It’s 2023 that’s rediculous. The employees wear American flag shirts but the place doesn’t have a military discount…crazy.
