Pros: Restaurant Review North 40 Tennessee Holladay
- There was an adequate quantity
of food on the salad bar, hot bar and dessert table when we came
through.
- The entrees included fried
chicken, chicken tenders, "kraut & weiners" (sauerkraut with
hotdogs) and ribs.
- The hot vegetables included
mashed potatoes, green beans, fried okra, black eyed peas, turnip
greens, corn and stewed tomatoes.
- There
was a variety of desserts, both chocolate and non-chocolate. Mike had
the bread dressing and vanilla ice cream. Vicki had the chocolate cake.
Then when she saw that one customer was serving himself some mixed
vanilla and
chocolate ice
cream, she got some of the chocolate ice cream. There was also peach
cobbler, banana cream pudding and white cake.
- The
salad bar had some of the usual items: iceberg lettuce, romaine
lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumber slices, carrot sticks, and diced
boiled egg. There were other types of salads, like tuna salad, pasta
salad and potato salad. There were numerous salad dressings available
and some toppings (including sunflower kernels, which we
like).
- Upon
placing our order, we were asked if we wanted rolls or cornbread. When
the cornbread muffins we ordered came, they were in a basket with
little containers of butter-like spread.
- The wait staff
was outstanding. Two ladies
continually checked on us: Ashley, our waitress, and Cathy, the
"beverage steward." Between the two of them, our glasses never got
empty and our empty plates and bowls were whisked away quickly. The
entire staff was friendly, out-going, and
very attentive to diners.

Cons: Restaurant Review North 40 Tennessee Holladay
- We both requested lemon with
our drinks; when they
arrived, there were two slices on Mike's glass and none on Vicki's.
(This was easily remedied.)
- Mike said the sweet tea was
good but could have been sweeter.
- There was no cottage cheese on
the salad bar.
- Vicki found one teeny little
bit of iceberg lettuce that was past its prime.
- Mike had to request extra
napkins and straws.
- As
we ate a very late lunch, we noted that the level of some
entrees
was down. We suspect that they were clearing out lunch items and
getting ready for supper items.

Note: This was a very pleasant eating experience for us.
