I love good ol' southern cooking.The meat and three variety. The food is pretty good but it is overpriced. For a better value,try Norman Couser's Country Cookin or Monells.Swetts ...

Big portions 1/2/2010

Swett?s is definitely good food but I wouldn?t rate it as great by any means. I had the fried chicken, two large pieces were yummy but both the mac and cheese and cornbread were flavorless. I won't be going back anytime soon. Pros: nice portion size Cons: A little pricey more

swetts nashville is a amazing soul food place. 12/11/2008

Im from Oklahoma City (Go Sooners). I was in Nashville in October 2008. I asked if there were a Soul Food Place at the hotel i was staying at they referred me to Swetts. I was truly amazed, of the foods, dessert. It taste just like grannie used to make. I will tell all my friends and family members to go there it was wonderful. I will be there on the 14th of december, and will eat there. The only thing i wish they had it as a buffet for example. buffet you can charge $8.00-$8.50 all you can eat. it is worth it. more

Where's the beef? 11/5/2006

I love a good meat and three, and I've always heard about Swett's and how good it is. I have since been a couple of times to give it a fair shot but I have not been totally pleased. There was nothing wrong with the food, it tasted fine. The issues I have with Swett's are the portions and the price. Pros: Food was good Cons: Price, Portions more

Good food, but a little costly 10/17/2006

I grew in the neighborhood where Swett's is located. I remember the ORIGINAL Swett's diner when the matriarch of the family (Mrs. Swett) was living. The food was a lot better then and the prices were affordable. Today things have changed but the Beef Tips are still my favorite. It is however a little overpriced. It's a great place for college students and visitors but there are a few other places in town that have great food and better prices. Pros: Pleasant environment, large group meeting room available Cons: Prices too high more

Get ready to spend some money! 6/27/2006

This place has wonderful food. However, they think a little too highly of it. I paid almost $12 for meat and three with a drink. I can think of some places in Nashville that have food that is as good as Swett's for less money. Pros: Good Food Cons: Price more

12 on a scale of 1-10 10/7/2005

It is no wonder this place has been around for 50 years. That and the fact that the place was packed says more than I can say here. I live in Memphis and will eat here EVERY TIME I am in Nashville! more

Fried chicken like it was meant to be 3/1/2004

A pleasant cafeteria off the typical tourist track, but well worth your while. Although I wasn't bowled over by the turnip greens, I thought the fried chicken was awesome and other members of my group really liked their beef tips. Excellent cornbread... and if they're serving berry cobbler when you visit, grab some! more

Good,but overrated! 1/8/2003

I love good ol' southern cooking.The meat and three variety. The food is pretty good but it is overpriced. For a better value,try Norman Couser's Country Cookin or Monells.Swetts fried chicken is good but so is Couser's. Sweet's servers are friendly but so are Monells.The prices are so much better at Cousers and no I am not a family member either!!! more
