While down in Nashville my mom has been trying for over a year to eat here. Well, yesterday was the day!! It's located in the heart of Nashville. Once you step inside the door and head down the stairs you will see a huge Bobby Knight mural. I've seen the sign for this place over the years but never realized it was Bobby Knight and Indiana Basketball themed. It's awesome!!! Bobby Knight would come here and eat as he didn't live far from here. I never knew Bobby Knight played for Ohio State! They have a picture of him in his OSU jersey. Know that this place isn't that big but it's worth the visit. The food was so good!! Service was good also! Ambiance was what Hoosier Hysteria is all about. We are a basketball state that's for sure!! If you're in Nashville check it out. Come early as when we were leaving they had a line coming down the stairs to eat. Popular place!!

Food was ok, i had a black and bleu burger, nothing that i would go out of my way for but still had good flavor. Service was fine, just everything is such a weird price structure. Drinks come in cans with ice and no free refills. I do still love all the old IU stuff on the walls from the original owners though! All in all, I would go back, but it wouldn't be my first option.

I'm struggling because I think the owner and family want to continue the tradition of this fun, hole in the wall restaurant, but the rigid rules and weird payment structure take any fun and nostalgia out of the visit. I immediately noticed the sign on the door warning customers that the restaurant cannot accommodate parties over six. This is understandable to a point, most of the seating in this small space is built-in booths for four. There are some tables that could be moved together. When I made a comment to my family of five about not being able to eat there with the grandparents, the owner's daughter (the one expediting, waitressing, checking customers out) overheard and said they tell bigger parties to go someplace else because the cannot move tables together. Groups can be split up into separate tables but absolutely no moving tables together. The menu has your standard sandwich shop fare, however the kids menu is really small with no sandwiches. $8 for either a 5 piece mini corn dog entree or a hot dog (the same adult size (jumbo) hot dog), with either fries, applesauce, or Mac and cheese. The portions are huge, which is great for adults but absolutely intimidating for kids. Drinks are not included.Let's talk about drinks. The pricing is so bizarre. Soda (unrefrigerated cans) are $2, "refills" are $1. Lemonade is $3.25 with 1 free refill. Unsweet iced tea is $2.25 with unlimited free refills. I didn't catch the cost of the lemonade so essentially we paid $11.25 each for our three kids meals, that they didn't eat. Overhearing what other people were ordering, I caught on that each ingredient is nickel and dimed. Ghost pepper cheese will cost you .50 cents more. Tomatoes cost .25 cents per slice. I get a la carte pricing but the sandwiches are already priced pretty high.There's one cook in the back and so more rules apply. No carry out on the weekends, no ordering appetizers separately from ordering your main meal, limited party sizes. It's just off-putting to hear/read so many rules even before ordering. The owner's daughter was doing a great job keeping up with the tables, the place was clean, food was coming out piping hot and pretty quickly. But after paying $71.00 + 20% tip for 3 "kids meals" and two adult meals, we'll probably take our business elsewhere next time.

It may not look like much and isn't flashy or fancy - the mashup of IU (specifically Bobby Knight era IU) memorabilia makes it clear it's not trying to be either of those things. But it's darn good food.For such a small place, I thought the prices were a little steep at first -- until the food came out. These are some pretty hefty portions, so the price is absolutely justified.Also an interesting little tidbit - they have both Coke and Pepsi products - but they just bring out a can and a cup of ice. Wasn't expecting that. Not necessarily a downside, but if you're expecting a true fountain drink with refills, you may be surprised. (I didn't drink enough to get a refill, so not sure if that's just the price of another drink, but I'd assume it is so you may ration that out if you're thirsty.)Really neat little shop that's great if you're an IU fan or alum and looking for some great food without the flash.

We dined here during Covid. If you're an IU/Bobby Knight fan, this is your place! I had the vegan cauliflower and bean soup, which was quite tasty. This is the "sandwich place" - I would love to see them add a vegetarian sandwich to their menu. But this soup was quite good and filling! My companion had the chicken salad sandwich, served on grilled wheat bread. The chicken salad was yummy, it tasted like it was made with fresh white meat. The sandwich was paired with a side salad, especially nice size and homemade dressing too! We like supporting local places, and this one is a winner. (Go, Big Red!)

Bait and switch on a Memorial Day breakfast. I ride a motorcycle through Nashville about 4 times a week. I went for a ride in brown county and was starving. I parked on Main Street and was checking out who was open and noticed this joint was. Walked in and as the waitress /owner ran by I asked if breakfast was still being served. She yelled back you got 10 minutes. I'll be there in a minute. As I waited I noticed she had seated a couple and was tending to them. They ordered a drink. She sat me next to them. I heard her ask for food order. Well they ordered a burger off the lunch menu. And asked for the .25 cent tomato slice which she verified. And placed their order. She came to my table as I was looking for breakfast items but had given me lunch menu and got me a breakfast menu. As I was looking at the offers. I heard her come back to the other people and tell them it would be 10 minutes or so for a burger as breakfast wasn't completed. I heard her tell them if they wanted to leave it was ok she wouldn't charge them for the drink on the table. Well.... About 60 seconds later a folded bill was placed on my table and I was told when done with my 12 dollar eggs and water to pay at the register. As I finished my meal I noticed the bill was folded and thought it was unusual. But I failed to look at it. I finished my eggs and water grabbed the bill headed to register. She rang me up turned the iPad towards me and asked to approve and or give a tip. I gave an extra 2.15 said thank you to no response as she told another patron she was the owner. I grabbed my receipt and left. Well when I got back to Bloomington and empty pockets I looked at the receipt I had been given as the bill came to 17 dollars and change. My brain went hey I only had the 12 dollar eggs and water and left a 2.15 tip how did it go up to 17+... Well..... She gave me the other tables bill which was the burger plus the extra tomato and drink. So guess who paid for the extra tomato and the no charge drink??? ME I'll post images of the receipt folded so it wasn't readily readable. And what it actually was for. This was my first and last trip to this joint. Like Carnies at the fair thinking she would never see me again. So rip the Rube off.. What is the most upsetting is a gave her 2.15 to screw me out of 1.75.. WELL DONE...Response: The other party left when you told them they had to wait until kitchen changed. They never paid you anything. So not sure who you're refunding.

I had the mushroom and Swiss burger! Uh yum real shrooms grilled to perfection excellent have not had one this good in years. Wife had the black bean burger very good. Daughter had the chicken fingers about average, son had the tenderloin excellent very fresh. Fries were average onion rings average but both need more crispiness. Drinks are cans no refills a draw back. But overall good experience.

Rude service and we were refused seating more than 30 minutes before closing. The place smells old and it's kind of dusty and run down. Would recommend literally any other place in Little Nashville over this one. Don't do it.

Really nice little restaurant in Nashville, In. We purchased a BLT, a Turkey Club and a pulled pork bbq. All were reasonably priced and well prepared. The turkey was fresh turkey, not deli-sliced. The BLT was well loaded with the bacon crisp just the way I like it. The Pull Pork was a generous portion and delicious. The fries were served hot and crisp. I will visit this place again on my next visit to Nashville, In.
