      A wonderful eatery in Goodlettsville, close to interstate connections. They offer dine in or take-out, and catering. The food is excellent and the staff works hard to take your order quickly and get your food dished up.

      This is an upscale cafeteria style market with large portions and excellent flavor in all of their entrees and sides. We didn't leave room for dessert, but order something to go because they are delicious. Prices are about $10.00-$17.00 per meal. I got two sides and water to drink. I had eaten here before and try to eat here every time I am in town.

      We enjoy the quality and most of the preparations of food here. We will definitely be back.

      One side note: 3 meals, 2 drinks, 2 slices of cake & tip = $91.

      We can enjoy other establishments for less cost and comparable quality. - we will still return, just not as often.

      A great spread! Order from what's prepared and waiting for you or from the menu to be made while you wait. I've been there multiple times and I always want to make it a part of my Nashville trip. We've found our favorite Nashville restaurant! Warning: It's hard to make it past their gift shop without adding something on to your lunch! Their home decor is wonderful.

      So happy we stopped. This place threw me off. Ya walk in and it's a gift shop and a bakery and the deli with hot to go or sit down food is in back.

      They have a great variety of options. Baked chicken, salmon, meatloaf, sweet potatoes, cold salads, orzo chick pea salad. Etc

      Everything we got was eaten quickly. Smells like you walked into your moms thanksgiving feast.

      As for the bakery, we got the praline brownies. So moist and I could have eaten 2 by myself. Wow! Love that take on a brownie. Never had one like it. I could have gotten a piece of every one of the cakes but had to hold back.

      Our son dropped his plate trying to go out the door to eat outside. He was so embarrassed and was crying. The manager took care of him and I swear I would come here once a week if we lived here.

      Thank you! Amazing food and restaurant!

      Enjoyed the atmosphere and food. I had the Jerusalem Chicken with Almond Green Beans and Italian Pasta. I also picked up some whole bean coffee at checkout that I can't wait to try when I get back home.

      What a great place to get a southern comfort meal and eat in a casual environment. Chef's Market is an upscale/updated version of the classic Nashville "meat and 3." Definitely going to be a staple for us.
      Plenty of options, you can have the 'meat and 3' I mentioned or order off the salad bar. Multiple options and combinations. There are standard dishes as well as rotating specials. I had the jerusalem chicken, still moist even after sitting on the serving line. (I saw the cooks bring food out as it was needed to keep it fresh)
      There is also a coffee and desert bar. We will have to try some next time. (may take it to go) I am really intrigued by some of the uncommon cakes.

      Such a good find! Friendly staff and fresh, tasty food. Wish I had more room in my suitcase, the little shop in the front of the restaurant is adorable.

      I came to Chef's market through a recommendation from a co-worker and I'm so glad that I did! This place serves home cooked meals with hefty servings at an extremely reasonable price!

      Chef's market is located at a strip mall in Goodlettsville with plenty of parking. The restaurant is actually located inside a little market that was nicely decorated for the holidays! It's very casual. You order the food at the counter and receive it immediately. You can then pick your own table to sit at.

      For my food, I got the Jerusalem chicken, mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes and corn bread. Each dish was made to perfection! The chicken was my favorite part. It was a combination of sweet and savory. It was perfectly soft on the inside. I also got carrot cake for dessert and this was the most moist cake I've ever had. The meal was 10/10 and I would get every single item again. Not to mention I had leftover for another quite filling meal the next day.

      I fell in love with Chef's market on my first visit and will most definitely be bringing my family here soon!

      Cute restaurant with a Cracker Barrel atmosphere. It's buffet style with a menu as well, and a cafeteria like seating area. The food was good and reasonably priced not anything I'd rave about. It is far enough out of the city that parking is easy.
