Uncle Petes Home Cooking

This is a place that I hope will be here for years to come.It's unique, and comfortable with its small town feel. The customers ahead of me were greeted by their names.When you walk in, it's seat yourself. There wasn't a sign but I just followed the couple ahead of me and took their lead.The food was great especially the catfish and biscuits. I'm not a big fan of country gravy and usually top my biscuit with jelly so I didn't really try it. The catfish with Louisiana hot sauce, a little tarter and thrown on half a biscuit was perfection.It was lively on a Friday morning, and I imagine most folks come back on a regular basis. Prices were very fair for a diner or a truck stop.There isn't a ton of truck parking in Nashville proper, so this is a really nice stop just around the corner from Georgia pacific and right off 40.If you are doing a 34 here, you aren't too far away in an Uber into downtown Nashville if that was something you wanted to try.There's a really modern quick trip across the street that most drivers would probably appreciate.Great place to park for the night, just make sure you grab breakfast in the morning.I got the truckers breakfast with coffee for $14 and felt it was a great value but the entire menu sounds good.

Lady was nice. Food should be sent off and find out why it all taste bad. Bacon taste old. Couldn't eat it. Scrambled eggs nasty and crunchy. Couldn't eat. Potato slices was so so greasy. Could eat. Biscuits I thought had to be good. They looked good but awful taste. Gravy was nothing special either. Coffee was drinkable. Place is pretty dirty. Water smells and taste bad. I don't know how this place is open. I really don't. Worst place I ever had breakfast. Maybe lunch is good. Idk and I won't be back. My stomach is killing me

Catfish awesome and Hugh. Had high hopes for this place. BBQ wings not sweet and made with vinegar. Corn from the can. Clean bathrooms. Restaurant clean, service good.

So this is a truck stop diner with good ole southern comfort food. I had breakfast here with a buddy. I have heard if this place for years, but i guess i never worked up the courage to eat here. I had the meat & cheese omelet, biscuit and gravy, and coffee all for about $12 altogether. Great value. Excellent service! Great tasting food! I will return again. Yum!!!

5 stars based off of hustle of the staff alone. You know Tennessee on a Sunday morning after church- busy. We perused a couple other options and decided if we were gonna have to wait we might as well wait for some good food at our favorite truck stop diner. We immediately seat ourselves and this place always has a good home vibe. Immediately welcomed by smiling faces and someone to take our drink order. After we got our drinks though, others who walked in were politely told that they were short staffed and it could be a 45 minute wait for food. People were disgruntled and left. We took it as a good opportunity to catch up and relax this morning. It was indeed around a 45 minute wait for food but the food was hot, good, and our drinks were consistently filled. If you don't mind the wait on a busy Sunday, which I feel like everywhere has, then this is always a good option!

I really wanted to like this spot; but the food was just okay. The ham steak was overcooked and flavorless, the gravy was just plain without sausage, Service was good, lots of locals come here and she called many by name. As others have mentioned, the decor is 1960's coffee mugs and lots of them. Overall, meh.....

#89/2022Ah yes still there interstate 40 Lebanon Tennessee on the outskirts of town it's good old Uncle Pete's little truck stop and Cafe.Old school all the wayLooks like it hasn't been remodeled since about mid-1980s lol but that's all good it's got its own little quaint charm still.No longer 24 hours like back in the day open daily till the early evening hours still has a steady clientele of locals not just truck drivers Basically this is a review for the whole thing someone has a really created the page for the store but it's a small little convenience store, bathroom, showers, the cafe still has lots of great home cooking on the menu. daily specials Coffee cups in the thousands still. Basically Pete day when someone would give him a coffee cup from their company or wherever when Pete got to it he would drink a cup of coffee and hang it up. He still does in fact he's adding on now to the shelving where the coffee cup racks are. I came in hungry wanted a good old-fashioned breakfast sat down got some coffee ordered up a country breakfast two eggs soft scrambled, sausage patties, and I went with the biscuits and gravy instead of toast. Food was really good I had no complaints. Still a great little place for some good home cooking it's bypass by manyb because right up the road at the next few exits in Lebanon are all your big chains. Parking can be a little bit tight too for a big rigs because there's a lot of drop trailers that people pay to park their stuff in spaces now they still have trailer washouts if you got to go pick up some food product down the road no truck washes just washouts. There is now if you need bathroom at night time a quick trip across the street that just recently opened and a few other things nearby when they shut down for the night.I could definitely say after revisiting if they are open and I'm ready to strap on the old feed bag I'll definitely be making an appearance here more often I always forget about it as I'm zipping across 40 back towards Nashville

Wife and I loved this place. Don't let the fact it is part of a truck stop scare you. Mama's fried chicken was well worth the wait. Service was great

Uncle Pete's is a American/Veteran owned, restaurant. He feeds and helps so many underprivileged Veterans. So if nothing else that is worth an attempt to earn your business. But when you eat from this big tasty menu, you will be a fan. Also really good catfish and barbecue. Stop in and give it a try. Give him some appreciation for his service. No disappointments.

What a great diner. We had a delicious breakfast and great service. We loved all the coffee cups that decorated the place. It felt like home. We'll definitely be back!!
