    Wow! Hadn't been here in a while and need to not make that a habit! I love that they have so many great salad options and my hubby loves all things BBQ! The shrimp in my salad was Amazing!!! He went for a BLT and the bacon was cooked to perfection. We took home the extra homemade ranch because it was so good too! The staff were friendly and the service was great. I highly recommend this place!

    The Tennessee Grill catered the dinner for our daughter's wedding event. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional! Baylee provided us with great options and suggestions to make our daughter's wedding day special. They provided more than enough food and accommodated for special allergies and offered alternatives. We appreciate that Tennessee Grill facilitated a great celebration for our daughter's wedding. Thank you so much for your part in making this a momentous event!!!

    Came to this place after shopping at the Outlets and was surprised. I got the catfish with mashed potatoes and collared greens. Both the sides were pretty good but the battering on the catfish could have used a little bit more flavor. The staff wad very friendly and it seemed like they were friendly with the regulars. I'll probably come back again during happy and explore the menu for new things.

    I love this place!!!!! But I was there yesterday and got takeout. I ordered the chipotle chicken Alfredo as I always do. This stuff was so spicy I couldn’t even eat it. Now I like a little spice and this is why I order it. I have never had a problem with this meal until yesterday.

    Enjoyed our food and employees were nice Nothing incredible but almost no complaints either. Only disappointment was the "giant waffle" being the size of what I would expect of a normal waffle. Wasn't bad, but for $8 I felt like the French toast was a much better value Sausage and bacon were good - liked that sausage came with the choice of patties or links

    Walked over to have a beer while I was waiting for my truck to get done at discount. Decided to grab a dozen wings while I was at it. Taylor was taking care of the bar and dining room. I could tell that she was very busy, but she still stopped to check and make sure everything was OK frequently. The wings were excellent, the beer was cold, and Taylor did a magnificent job!!!!

We will definitely be going back!!

    My husband and I were traveling north on May 28 and stopped for lunch here. The waitress was very nice and the food was great! Good thing we decided to spit a salad and sandwich! That was more than enough. The brisket salad with blue cheese and blue cheese dressing was yummy and so was the grilled chicken sandwich. REALLY liked that salad!

    I am from Memphis TN. I have competed in and judged on the Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Circuit. I was skeptical when I saw a restaurant in Arizona claiming to have Tennessee BBQ and down home southern food. So I had to try it. The wait staff greeted us quickly and to my pleasant surprise they actually had Sweet Tea. Not the overpowering sugar water with a little tea flavor, but true sweet tea where the sugar compliments the tea. When I asked about their Ribs the owner and grill master knew what they were talking about. They was able to explain the cooking process and understood the difference between the different types of BBQ Sauces. We had Fried Okra and Fried Pickles for Appetizers which were wonderful. I had a half slab of ribs with the sweet sauce on the side and sampled the spicy sauce my wife got. Both were wonderful. Falling back on my judging criteria, the appearance of the food was excellent. The ribs were fall off the bond tender with just the right amount of bone sticking out at the top to tell me they were done. They were moist even without sauce, but not full of fat. The taste was just like being back home in Memphis, and the owner and cooks knowledge and presentation of their process showed a knowledge of how to BBQ Ribs (smoke with low temperature, over several hours). The only complaint I have about the entire dining experience was that they were out of pulled pork so I didn't get to try it. I guess that will be on my list for the next time I come to the Area.

    Went in for dinner on a Tuesday, there was no wait to get a table. Service was good and the waitress checked on us a few times during our meal. The wait time for our food was okay and was hot. I know it was their take on the taste of our food but we didn't care for the cole slaw and the macaroni and cheese. Everything else was okay.

    Wasn't a fan. My Fries are over spiced, the kids sized portions are miniscule for thier price, Burger was over spiced and overcooked. I would rate one star but I do know that part of my abysmal experience is due to UberEats being incredibly temperamental and so I had to run a mile in the dark to get my cold food after waiting for an hour and a half to be told no drivers were available. Bad experience all around tbh Edit: Uber refunded me for my experience so I'm definitely happier. The food isn't amazing but it's not terrible, it's pretty average tbh. Changing to 3 stars

    The food is very delicious. I do recommended if you want to feel your tummy up. The staff is very nice. The food came out very quickly.

    This evening we took our family with kids and grandkids in tow and were seated. They took our drink orders and forgot about us. We watched two other tables. Be seated in their orders be taken so we got up and asked the waitress to take our order because the children were getting restless. Then the manager finally came over and asked if everything was okay and we said no and he said he heard we yelled at his server. Of course we said we did not. We just asked to have our order taken. He said you know you were the last ones to be seated and my son said no look at your cameras. We've been sitting here and we asked to have our order taken. He asked us basically to leave. My son said you should look at your security cameras and see how long we've been sitting here trying to be patient and he again said that we should leave. So sadly the restaurant that we like to go to is no longer friendly to its customers.

    We go here all the time or order on DoorDash. Never once has our order been messed up or our food cold. This place has consistently been a gem in anthem since we moved here 2 years ago. We love the atmosphere, and the people who work here are always friendly and attentive. It's a shame their aren't more restaurants like Tennessee Grill!

    My friend and I had dinner at The Tennessee Grill tonight. Being the fussy eater that I am, I had some problems with my meal. When I complained, The manager personally helped me and made sure that everything was done to my satisfaction. (His attitude says a lot about the restaurant. )This gentleman was so kind and patient, just wanting me to be happy. I ended up with a burger that was perfect and delicious!! I will be going back soon!!

    Stopped for lunch. First off all, our waitress, Grace, was super nice and helpful. Hubby and I split the brisket salad with blue cheese crumbles and dressing. Very good, would recommend you try! Split the grilled chicken/avocado sandwich. No lettuce or mayo on it so a little dry. I added mustard. All in all it was good and good size lunch for us.

    Explain to me why you require the waitstaff to ask how we would like your prefab burgers cooked. Our medium rare came well done. Additionally, mine broke in half during the cooking process so it had no chance at the impossible. And all this for $17 and $7 16 oz drafts?

    I was on a search for a Michigan beer here in AZ and found it here on tap. What a find. The owner, Ryan, and his staff were terrific. The food was delicious. Brisket so tasty!! It was well worth the 30 minute drive. Just a great experience from walking in until we left, feeling like family.

    My husband & I love this restaurant. Staff is quick, friendly & knowledgeable. Food comes out fast & perfect. Friday fish fry is all you can eat & i think one of the best in the valley! They have amazing wings (big & juicy) and have a huge variety of bbq sauces. My favorite, the homemade raspberry chipotle! I can lick the container clean! 😂 the burgers & pizza are great, bbq is amazing & they probably have the best fall off the bone ribs I’ve ever had! They just added a crème brûlée to the dessert menu and I’m in heaven. Ryan (the owner) and his amazing staff truly care about their customers, the quality of their food and atmosphere. It shows in everything they do! Don’t miss out on breakfast either because it’s so much better than the chain restaurants and the thick cut bacon! Omg! Need I say more!!!! This restaurant rocks!

    The food was so good. The meat, sides, and drinks were all amazing. The pork, chicken and beef were so tender. The sauces were delicious. I am a big fan of this place and will be recommending it to friends and family. Autumn was our server and she took fantastic care of us. We will most definitely be back.

    Have you tried their breakfast? If you haven't definitely swing by in the morning and give it a try. Also their Chicken Fried Steak is perfection. Well portioned, crispy, and hearty without being greasy or heavy on the stomach (a rare feat indeed). Should have taken a photo but the food rarely lasts long enough on my plate for me to remember to take a photo.

    Came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't busy at all. I ordered the ribeye steak. My steak was cooked to my order. It was also flavorful and delicious. I had the Baked Beans and Garlic Knot for sides. Both were very good. There is a full bar with good beer selections.

    Food was good. Service was pleasant and the food was prepared quickly. We had Spinach bacon salad with Salmon and a Steak with baked potato and chips! Recommend 👍

  • 5/5 Christine M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my go to spot. I always feel comfortable and well taken care of by the staff. The wings are my go-to (best wings I’ve ever tried) but I’ve loved everything I have tried on the menu from breakfast to lunch. Sweet potato fries are so darn good! Potato skins loaded with brisket and cheese are amazing. The menu of craft cocktails keep me rotating delicious drinks on each visit. Try the blueberry apple mule with house made blueberry purée, you can’t go wrong! The restaurant is sunny and comfortable. Definitely worth visiting if you’ve never been. We always feel like family when we come in!!!

    During our journey to California, we stopped at The Tennessee Grill upon the recommendation of a friendly gentleman we met in a Walmart parking lot. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and our attentive and courteous waitress made us feel welcomed. The presentation of our food was good, but unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. The fried catfish lacked the taste and appearance of authentic catfish that Louisiana people know and love. The rack of ribs were dry and the potato salad was inedible. The french fried were good and hot and the baked beans were okay. Despite our disappointment, we remained respectful, paid the check, and moved on from the disappointing meal.
