Food was excellent! Found this place on the way from Nashville to Knoxville-- food was fantastic, prices were reasonable, service was great! If we're ever in the area again, would love to go back!
Being from Atlanta we have more restaurants that most cities. The Putnam Room rivals some of the best in Atlanta, we were so happy to see a restaurant of this caliber in Cookeville.
Best Happy Hour around but I'm surprised it's never busy for Happy Hour. The food selection is amazing and food quality is top notch!! Also, the best drinks. The martini's are fantastic
What a great place. My wife brought me here for my birthday and I am glad she did. Best steak I have ever had in Cookeville. Cooked perfectly and seasoned well...
Was looking for a good restaurant to meet friends halfway between knoxville and Nashville and chose here. It was electric and yummy. Our server was so kind. Perfect little spot. Will be back.
