Spankies - Cookeville

I had to go here just because of the name and it was local place that I was happy to patronize. The food was pretty good although I have had better sirloin. The au jus sauce was excellent though. The staff was very nice and checked in often. I do recommend visiting this restaurant as I think they had many items on the menu that sounded really good. I do recommend if you are travelling through Cookeville to give this place a try Parking: Parking is just for customers no student parking as it's close to university.

This place is definitely worth a visit! Warm, friendly atmosphere and absolutely delicious meal.

Summer 2024 They have an out of control rat problem that has been festering for months without concern. They finally got an exterminator but the problem is ongoing. They have cut the bad parts off of food that was gnawed on by rats and used sugar from a bin that had rat feces scooped from the top of the bin. The food is tasty. The service and atmosphere is good. It is not worth eating food contaminated with rat feces.

Our first visit was wonderful. The ambiance was fantastic. Service was so pleasant and accommodating. I'm planning a return trip soon. Worth a two hour drive!

This is where you go to feel like you’re around family. They serve you bread at the beginning of your meal that is fantastic. The drinks are strong and the staff will point you right! The menus huge! So make sure it comes recommended when you order.
