We were THRILLED when we heard that a coffee shop was coming to Oakland TN, and S&P has not let us down! Open Mon-Sat with live music Fri. and Sat nights they have a lot to offer.
Atmosphere is cozy with hardwoods, comfy furniture, bistro and regular tables and a little fireplace to make you feel all cozy. A few gifts are available for purchase as well as some of their coffee beans and tea as well.
The staff is friendly, outgoing and very helpful. THe menu is HUGE! They offer all your favorite coffee drinks, panini sandwiches, wraps, tons of delicious desserts and the best cinnamon rolls you will ever eat. (try the paninis and baked potato casserole too!) The coffee is really tasty as well- just ask my Coffee Snob husband who would rather have a cuppa there than even Starbucks.
Friday and Saturday nights they feature local musicians in house- stay and listen to some laid back tunes, irish music or acoustic pop.
All in all, a great place to unwind at the end of hte day or jump-start your morning with their breakfast sandwiches and cup of hot coffee!
PROS: Great coffee, yummy food, CINNAMON ROLLS, Live music on weekends
CONS: closed Sundays (good for them!)

We usually go to El Nopal on Monday nights. The children eat free with every adult entre. If you like white cheese dip.. El Nopal has it and its delicious! The food is ready lightning fast and is always fresh. A favorite for us is the beef flautas. If you are ever in the area definately make a stop to El Nopal.

We have lived in Fayette County for 3 years, and El Nopal continues to be one of our favorite restaurants, and THE favorite Mexican restaurant in Fayette County (there are several). I give it 4 stars because no one is perfect (the other reviewer obviously experienced a bad day). We have eaten there on at least 50 occasions, and I can say that we have only had one experience that was less than wonderful.
First, it is a family style restaurant. It is very popular with the locals, and is usually full of patrons, although we always seem to be seated immediately. The order turnaround time, especially at lunch, is incredibly speedy, and the food has always been served hot. They have the best carne asadas; their variety of chimichangas are excellent; and I always enjoy my personal favorite, their chili rellenos.
If you want good quality Mexican food at very modest prices in a family dining atmosphere with quick, friendly service, El Nopal will be one of your favorite places to eat, as it is ours. And no, they did not pay me to write this.

Mexican Food is among my FAVORITE cuisines, so I am a little picky when it comes to where I eat it. After trying many of the Mexican restaurants in Cordova, Bartlett and the other one in Oakland, we were pleased La Hacienda opened a branch in Oakland.
The food is good, with typical offerings as well as some new ones to tempt your taste buds. (my personal favorites are Pollo Blanco and Chicken Adobe- chicken with white cheese and pineapple or spinach). The chips and thin, crispy and hot to your table and the salsa is just right, not too hot yet not for total wimps.
Service is typically good, call in and take-out orders are available. If you call in take out often enough they will remember who you are and what you usually order! Food arrives at your table quickly and hot, Hot, HOT! The menu is reasonably priced yet a little more expensive than a speedy with beans type of joint.
All in all I have been very pleased with La Hacienda... and it only sweetens the deal that it is close to home.
PROS: Fast service, good food, good chips and salsa, variety on menu
CONS:

More
I have TMJ (a painful jaw disorder that is aggravated by dental work- esp. if jaw is held open for extended periods of time) and going to the dentist for me is usually a real problem AFTER the visit. When we moved to Oakland I was pleased to find a dentist nearby and thought we would give him a try.
First allow me to say, this is no large scale operation... just the dentist and his wife (receptionist and general helper), but all of my appointments have been quick, efficient and both of them are very friendly and put you at ease.
There is no hygenist- Doc. Smith does everything from x-rays to cleaning and check up. Is the the most gentle plaque scraper in the country? No. Is he quick and efficient with minimum of trauma? Yes. I have had fillings (never even felt the needle for the novacaine- even though he did not use topical anesthetic first), my husband had a wisdom tooth extracted (very little discomfort during or after procedure) and we have both had all the routine services multiple times. Best of all- I have had no jaw discomfort because I am in and out of there quick, quick, quick!\
So, if you are looking for a pediatric dentist- probably not. If you are looking for the latest high-tech gadgets or someone to hold your hand while your teeth are cleaned- keep looking. But, if you are looking for solid basic dental care and want it close to home, you might want to give Dr. Smith a try.
PROS: quick appointments, nice staff,
CONS: no frills

More
After a terrible experience at the Mason branch of Gus's, I was a little put off trying them in my own neck of the woods... but one day the urge for artery clogging food won out, so off we went!
The menu is very limited and the prices are a little high for what you get, but the chicken itself IS good- if a bit overpriced. It came to us hot and crispy and yummy, yummy, yummy. The sides were just alright.
Atmosphere is improved at this location from Mason (this one actually had a ceiling and matching tables and chairs.) The staff was nice enough, but don't expect 5 star service.
I would eat there again if my chicken craving was overwhelming, but for my money I will just go to the Kroger Deli!
PROS: Good Chicken, Hot!
CONS: Service is only OK, overpriced in my opinion
