I had a chance to meet the owner and he actually served me.....he was rude as heck to me and acted like he was doing me a favor. Unfortunate that he shed a cloud on my perception of this business that i have held since 2007. He was so mean to me and i will never forget how he mad me feel!!!!!
everyone else was really nice!

It had been several years since I was at Chef's Market, but I always remembered how much I enjoyed it. My daughter and I were in Goodlettsville, so we stopped by for lunch. It was as good as I remembered. I had the Market Plate with 3 items - curried chicken salad, a pasta salad, and ambrosia. Daughter had wraps and a side and we had sweet tea. The cost was $40 including a 20% tip.
The line moves fast, the food's good, and the restrooms are clean. There is a gift store and a bakery in front. You go through the line and then pay up front before you leave thus giving them a chance to sell

Stopped through this city after a day in Nashville and hit up this charming place because we were looking for some healthy food options. We chose to split the Trio of Salads: black bean salad, tuna lemon basil salad and the curry chicken salad (my fave, and it was delicious), and the meatloaf sandwich with pimento cheese. We were way too full to try any of the cakes, but the lemon curd cake looked AMAZING!!!
Highly recommend a visit.

Walked up to this charming family restaurant and immediately gave me Cracker Barrel vibes. There's patio seating mixed with country home decor outdoors and you walk into a gift shop upon entering. The place was clean and the staff was welcoming.
The setup is "cafeteria style" which made me think of Piccadillys. I must say, watching them pour that crawfish sauce over my salmon was SOOO SEXY! Overall, the food was decent and the price was reasonable.
Cheers!

This place has been a favorite for years; but, I am reminded every year, at Thanksgiving, how thankful I am for them in our community! I love to cook yet still rely upon them every year to take some of the load and when it makes my holiday so much easier AND tastes even better than mine, it's a win! I admit, I also grabbed an almond joy cookie at pick up and my eyes are still back in my head...so so good!
Their catering takeaway trays are also wonderful for throwing together a cocktail party, etc. at the holidays. Give them a try. You won't regret it.

Been here multiple times now and I really love this place.
The only reason I give it 4 out of 5 is because it is VERY loud in here during lunch hours. I cant hear the person saying the names for orders nor can I hear the person sitting across from me.
The food, however, is fantastic!
I have had the salmon, the chicken caesar wrap and the meatloaf. The salmon is by far my favorite item here. They have a vegetable casserole that tastes exactly like my grandmothers use to and its just a rush of memories every time I eat it.
Their deserts are phenomenal and you will want to grab a slice of cake or

The food was very good, but the CAKES ARE AMAZING!!! I had the caramel cake and it was so moist and delicious! And we all know, it is all about the icing, and it was PERFECT!!! My friend had the strawberry cake and raved about it, as well!!! I must also mention some indescribably good cookies I had that were chunked full of oatmeal, raisins, nuts, chocolate chips, and other great ingredients!!! I will definitely be going back for more!!!

Well, Yelp reviews led us to the Chef's Market for lunch. I can say that this place is an honest 5-stars! Nailed it!
A cute shop in the front greeted us. But then the food amazed!!! Such an incredible variety. Every dish was delicious. The smoked Gouda Mac n Cheese was an outstanding comfort food. The parmesan herb muffins were so good we went back and ordered some to go!
Jim, the owner came out and greeted us. He could not have been nicer. They offer holiday meals to order and great catering as well.
Get here early because it is a very popular lunch spot! There is plenty of seating

This is a unique place to say the least it's buffet style but yet it's not. Reminds a bit of a Boston Market but much better. You can get fresh home cooked food as you go through the line and pick what you desire. They do have grill items too typical wraps, burgers and other types of sandwiches. There is alot to chose from. If it's your first time it's a bit confusing but well worth the visit. You pick your food they give you a ticket and you as you leave. The drinks you get yourself. I really enjoyed the meatloaf servings are plentiful and will leave you satisfied. I would go again.

Award winning comfort food doesn't get better than this. Chef's Market is a hidden gem located in a strip mall in Goodlettsville. It's fairly popular with the locals, yet when I bring it up to friends and acquaintances, a lot of them have never heard of it. Chef's Market has been featured in the Nashville Scene publication year after year.
It's comfort food at its finest. Chef's Market has a wide-selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads, cold/hot café items are available to appeal to any palate. What's especially nice are the Vegetarian, Vegan, Paleo, Keto, and

Well Yelp did not let me down on this one. Great find. I was concerned when I had seen it was in a shipping mall but it's a "Must stop"!
It's full of locals. I think they're hiding this spot.
Great concept and great food. ...and excellent service and people. You can tell it has great leadership.
Well done

This place was fantastic! It was cafeteria style. They have so many choices! Vegan, gluten free, and then not so healthy stuff... lots of things with lots of gravy. I honestly tried about six different things including tasting my friends food. LOL the service was excellent, place was clean. It sort of reminded me of a Cracker Barrel because they had items for sale as you walk in. (Food was better though) no shade to Cracker Barrel

Visited with friends because we had not been there previously.
Wow! Atmosphere was great, a little busy, but the serving/kitchen staff were incredible!
They took the time to explain each dish and all four of us, while getting different dishes, all agreed that everything tasted great!
Will definitely return!

Chef's Market is a hidden gem tucked away in Goodletsville. The selection here is endless. Many salads, pastas, and southern favorites to choose from. The Jerusalem chicken and pot roast is my favorite. I also love the vegetable casserole and kale salad. Be sure to get a Parmesan roll with your dinner and sweet tea.
Do yourself a favorite and purchase a desert to go. They have cookies and cakes to choose from. The cookies are huge. I enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie. I also noticed a selection of flavored and seasonal coffees you can purchase. I'll be sure to get a bag next time I

Overall: This is a place that was in front of my face the entire time for years that I never went too, now I'm wondering why it took me so long to go.
Pro: Clean, friendly, easy to find, great little market inside, food is excellent, tea is awesome.
Con: No Cons at all!
Review: Restaurant is premiere fast casual so you choose food and then pay at the end. I was not upset with any of the food here. The food tasted fresh, was not over salted to compensate and the tea was fresh and excellent. The service was top notch and friendly. I would not hesitate to go here as much as possible. Very

We discovered this place on Yelp while driving through the area and it was AMAZING. We went inside to order so that we could see the food options in person - super glad we did this because there were more options in person than what I saw on the online order form. It took me forever to decide what to order because everything looked and sounded delicious.
I ended up getting the 3 cheese burger which was excellent and very filling! I got the Italian pasta salad as my side which was also great. My mom got the roast beef with a few sides and really enjoyed it as well. She was obsessed with the Parmesan
