Miss Mary Bobo’s Restaurant

I felt transported back in time! The family room seating with the hostess was such an enjoyable experience. The food was amazing! But hearing about the history and engaging with other folks seated with us is something you don’t get anywhere now days. We were a party of 4, 3 lovely ladies that came together and one lady on her own that by the end of the meal we all were chatting together enjoying everyone’s company. People truly come together over good food and fun history! I highly recommend the experience.

It was a unique and cute experience, but not something I’d go back to. The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t anything amazing either. They have a set family dinner style menu that changes each day. You sit with different groups and a host tells you about the history of the house and town. It’s definitely a unique experience but I felt it was majorly hyped up for $30 per person.

Very neat place with interesting history. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. There were several people there for the 12:45 lunch. There were a few dining rooms so everyone was accommodated. Our table was round with a large ‘lazy susan’ in the middle, so the family style servings could be easily accessed by everyone by simply spinning the wheel. I was part of a party of 4, there was another party of 3 and a one other individual. The different groups did not know each other. Our hostess introduced herself then got everyone to do the same. That quickly turned into conversation which was nice.
Mrs Mary Bobo served turkey with stuffing and giblet gravy, ham, Mac n cheese, green beans, fried okra, dinner rolls, cranberries, sweet potatoes with chocolate fudge pie topped with Jack Daniels infused whipped cream. Sweet tea was served although water was an option. The sweet tea was fantastic.

The food was good. I’m not a big fan of turkey but I did eat the ham. I was hoping for some southern fried chicken or something more representative of Tennessee… at least More so than sliced spiral ham or turkey. The sides were all good but the fried okra was the best of all in my opinion. The pie rocked as well.

This was a nice lunch and I was able to meet and break bread with some really nice people.

We were in Nashville visiting family and decided to try this place since we were in Lynchburg to visit the Jack Daniels distillery.

Our host, Ms. Emily was the best. She told us so many funny stories and wonderful historical knowledge. The food was delicious. I couldn’t stop eating the fried okra, and the dressing was like mine.

This place is a true destination. The home-cooked meal is worth the drive and the staff is incredible. Y’all go!
