El Metate - Whitwell

The location in Whitwell has closed, but the one in Dunlap is still excellent.

This was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. I had to call the waiter just to get a drink, and I waited nearly an hour for my food—only getting it after I reminded them about my order.

The food is consistently tasty! However, the customer service tends to be slow. The sweet tea is always excellent. Pricing can be inconsistent; sometimes we end up paying quite a bit for our meal, while other times we can feed five people for under $30. The cheese dip is the best I've ever had! Plus, their chips are never stale.

I requested cheese dip three times, and it wasn't brought to me until our food arrived. However, they did offer it for free because of the delay, so I'm giving it two stars.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was the worst I've ever encountered. My chicken was undercooked, and my dad's steak was the same—he had to send it back because it was tough and nearly impossible to cut through. I won’t be returning; I’m very dissatisfied.
