Spankies - Cookeville

Wednesday night, party of 8 outside, seated at 5:30 Place started filling up. Food order put in at 6:30. Food not delivered by 7:50. I found server and had it packed up. Paid. Left premises. Ate in car: no utensils included. Great food. Bad experience.Understaffed kitchen and wait staff KILLS business. ???? Not good for big groups. Don't be on a time schedule. Order foodquickly so the wait isn't as long.

Visiting family and trying different places. This was by far the most expensive and worst food. I ordered fish and chips. Fish was cold, undercooked and mushy, not crispy. I complained and was brought out another plate of equally cold, undercooked andmushy fish. Hubby ordered the hamburger steak, well done. It was raw. This could be a charming location but for thelackadaisical food prep.

Our first time eating here and it was the best! I had the Jack Daniels Chicken w/ Basmati Rice and Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes! My cousin's dish was Fish (Grouper) and Chips, instead of chips she got Yukon Potato Salad, Southern Slaw and Fried Okra. We were given a couple slices of complementary Spankies Bread after we sat down and it was delicious! We were able to eat about half of our meals before we were full! This is a local place that has been in business for over 30 years. Jordan our waitress was an absolute delight!

Service was outstanding as well as the food. Highly recomended.

Mentioned to the server the fries were very bad, their response we get that a lot.
