We tried Christy's and it is excellent for deli style sandwiches. For BBQ, we prefer Moogie's over Bobby Q. Spankies is good for drinks, but tends to be a little loud for a dinner atmosphere. Haven't tried the others you listed.

I've never tried Moogy's either but have heard it's really good. I happen to like peppery BBQ sauce so that's one reason I like Bobby Q's. They also have amazing banana pudding.
There's a brick oven pizza place on Lowe just south of Mama Rosa's that I've heard is good, too but have never tried it. I can't remember the name but I think it has the words "brick oven" in it.
I also really like Crawdaddy's which I forgot to mention earlier.
Have fun exploring and tasting!  |

No I haven't but I've been dying to try it! I grew to love those fish & steak houses that are everywhere in Mississippi and I hear the one at O'Connor Crossroads is just like the ones in Mississippi. I can't wait to try it! |

Man, I was out at around 11:45 on Wednesday night delivering some work for my boss for the next morning and we drove by Crawdaddy's--that place was HOPPIN'. I was so surprised! Cookeville is not exactly a hotbed of activity at 11:45 on a Wednesday night.

I hear GoTen is pretty good. I have never been, though.
Spankies is good, and I like Thomas Andrews, too. I also like the Soup Kitchen.

I wouldn't mind seeing a family-style Greek restaurant, a buffalo wing place or someone opening up a homemade ice cream parlor at Cream City. |
