Best Casual Restaurants in Goodlettsville

We were super excited to get a reservation at Noko because our friends (who are serious foodies and excellent home chefs) recommended Noko as their favorite restaurant. Noko did not disappoint! The welcome as we entered was warm and generous, they took my coat and hung it for me. : ) we had a small table in the dining room that was reserved, but opted to sit at the bar! It was fantastic! Our bartender Jena was super knowledgeable and so kind. She had many diners at the bar and took great care to engage with everyone. We started with sake and beer, a very interesting sake selection, and had spicy tuna crispy rice & hamachi crudo to start both so flavorful and delicious, then moved on with burnt ends with lettuce both of us LOVED this dish and really enjoyed the delicate crab fried rice! We had the Caesar salad which we shared but could have had my own it was so tasty! Our meal was so delightful we didn’t save room for dessert! We might try to go back tonight for dessert to try the coconut cake with wood fired pineapple or the brookie with Chocolate brownie, black sesame cookie, miso caramel, vanilla gelato! Our only missed opportunity due to dining so late is we missed the dumplings!! No doubt they are as fantastic as all the dishes we tried! Make a reservation ASAP, the food, drinks and staff are⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As always, the food at Chop House is outstanding. My wife had the prime rib sandwich with a baked potatoe. The meat was cooked just right, full of flavor & looked good. The potatoe was exactly what you need to complement a good piece of meat. She also had the side salad which added even more to the meal. I had the turkey & dressing, appropriate for the Christmas season. I always look forward to the turkey & dressing no matter the season. I had a loaded sweet potatoe which could be a meal in itself. Our server was energetic & attentive with a smile. We look forward to our next meal at the Chop House in Hendersonville.

Excellent food! Excellent service!. Alex was outstanding. Great family meal. Very enjoyable. Not loud. Easy to relax, talk and enjoy. Will return!
