Emmy’s Restaurant

Excellent small town joint with a personal environment. The staff was super friendly and helpful anytime we asked for something. I like supporting other small town businesses that are not part of big chains, this is one- so go support them.

Friday night one server/host but that is my only critique. The food was far and away above par. The steak was tender and delicious the fried corn was perfect and so was the potatoes The hamburger steak with mushrooms and onions was hot fresh and perfectly seasoned. This place a hidden gem right in the heart of Shelbyville. Small and intimate but well worth the effort to find it and eat here. I am reminded the patients is a virtue, so don't be in a hurry and you will enjoy you meal here. The deserts was a perfect finish to a really good meal.

Well heck! I have forgotten the name of our very sweet server. Sandy maybe? Pretty blue eyes. Anyway! My husband and I ate here over 5 years ago and we must have come on a bad day. It wasn't memorable. We never returned. So yesterday, I decided to try again. I noticed the name had changed out front to "Emmies" and I assumed new owners. After chatting with our server, she explained that only the name had changed. So we ordered lunch with fingers crossed. It was EXCELLENT. We both had the meatloaf, which was so, so good. Really moist. Nice glaze. Our veggies varied. We had cabbage, tomato & cucumber salad, mashed potatoes and pinto beans. All four veggies were really delicious. Everything was definitely homemade. Even a few peels in the potatoes :) We ended this adventure with a brownie & ice cream, served warm with toasted nuts. Yum!! Left stuffed!! In the south, sweet tea is a staple wherever you go, but not everyone gets it right. You know? Their sweet tea is 1960s country tea, just like your mom or grandmother used to make. Absolutely delicious meal. We felt appreciated by the staff. So glad we stopped in :) We'll be back!!

Cozy little spot, true down home cooking. The waiter was great and the atmosphere cozy!

Always good food and a quaint atmosphere. Friendly service. The best potato soup and grilled pork chops and the Mikey pie is over the top.

This place is awesome!!! I love the decor and atmosphere!! Very comfortable and inviting!! The food is top notch!! I had a loaded chicken salad on croissant with sweet potato fries!! The staff are amazing, warm and friendly!!!! Will definitely go back often!!!

Great food and Great service food always hot and they have been dealing with the world as it is and succeeding

Such a cute lunch spot!! The restaurant is located inside of a cute, quaint plantation home. The food was absolutely delicious and the sandwiches were so good! Such a hidden gem!

Great food and great service. Always busy but worth the wait. A must go to in Shelbyville,Tennessee

No longer have have a breakfast menu. My wife got the breakfast sandwich and I got the mushroom swiss burger. Both were ok. Nothing to rave about. Really wanted the Belgian waffle
