Awesome food. Best fried chicken in Nashville. Recommend the greens, chicken and yams. It is a cafeteria style meat and three.

Swett's has simple home cooking that tastes like someone cooked for their own family. I had a fried pork chop, yams, northern beans, cabbage, and macaroni and cheese. The price for the entree plus 2 sides and a drink was less than 20 dollars. #SoulFood #ComfortFood #Yummy

Delish food, friendly service, chill old-school cafeteria vibe. Will return, next trip to Nashville.

I've come to love this place again. Hidden gem as you cut between West End and North Nashville. The food: Fried chicken - crispy skin, good flavoring. Add some hot sauce & ketchup and it's great. Beef tips - great flavor, would love a little rice to offset the taste but a great daily staple. Spicy Rotisserie chicken - get the spicy version - extra herbs & spices to give it a kick. Potato casserole - it's a chopped up loaded potato. Don't ask how many calories cuz you'd probably cry. Turnip greens - taste more like collard greens and enjoy this one. The service: Cafeteria style line that the workers smile, keep you moving, and ready to serve you. To-go boxes readily available on Staff members come by occasionally to bust the tables. IYKYK: 1. Private parking lot- as Nashville has grown, this is a solid consideration when I head out to eat because I don't want to pay $10 to park on top of my food. 2. Benches and chairs are older and have seen better days but you are here for the food.

Swett's Restaurant is a savory/sweet sensation. Driving through Nashville? Make memories and mouth watering moments matter at a make my morning kind of restaurant offering both sweet and savory soul food with expedient service in a relaxed scene. Usually when I'm out in the field on two to three day work-related adventures I want all new spots everyday for good food. This place is so great I ate here twice with the team and will be back when next in Nashville. Entrees like rotisserie chicken and salisbury steak paired with can't go wrong sides of mash potatoes, gravy and fried okra made me feel like I was back at grandmother's table. Desert is a must have here and the portions are just right. Try the cobbler or fried apples. Cafeteria style may be besmudged by some but this spot should be missed by none living in or passing through the great city of Nashville, TN. I call it a returners favorite. Do not sweat trying a sweet, new place to eat. Eat at Swett's.

If you are in Nashville and want to experience just not Legit southern taste but also strong community vibes, this place is great for it. You might end up waiting in line but the line goes by really fast so dont be deceived by it. Every food item on menu is well prepped and served. I loved the people working and hanging out there. will defo visit again! Bar style so you pick your combos and sides. Very friendly staff!

During my trip to Nashville, I went to Swett's for lunch with my family. I learned quickly that Nashville have amazing food so I was excited to try soul food. You walk in and grab your plate and silverware before entering the line. It's like a cafeteria style restaurant so you pick and choose while going down the line. The workers were friendly and patient behind the glass. I ordered the Rotisserie chicken, green beans , and candy yams. The Rotisserie chicken was juicy once you cut the chicken. It had herb-covered seasoning on the crispy skin. It was delicious! The portion size was okay/ just enough. The yams and green beans were also delicious. You can tell the recipe was homemade and passed down to generations. I also tried the cornbread. I honestly didn't like it, it was dry and hard. I recommend getting the rolls. Overall, My family & I enjoyed the food here during our visit.

A classic meat and 3. Heaven! My favorite Southern okazuya!! Greens done to perfection, generous portions. I look forward to coming here for classic soul food every trip. Yes, please!! Classic cafeteria style. If you're new and it's busy, take a peek before you order and listen to what others at ordering. It moves fast and there are hungry folks behind you. lol
