Tennessee is chock-full of fantastic local eateries owned by southern families with roots dug deep in Ol’ Rocky Top soil. Whether you’re a southern local or perhaps a nomad looking for a place to eat, finding a great restaurant in the heart of the state is a top priority when you’re in the land of fried chicken and mashed potatoes. This tiny spot in Christiana, Tennessee, is one of the best we’ve encountered – and we’ve tried quite a bit of food down here! – and it always feels like a taste of home.
MIller's Grocery is the kind of place that has you feeling as if you've stepped right back into Grandma's kitchen. This surprising little eatery isn't located in any big city, but instead in the heart of darling Christiana.
Easily accessible from Nashville, Franklin, and Murfreesboro, it's well worth the drive out to this beautiful little place. The grocery itself originally operated as a country store for almost a century before it became a restaurant.
You may have seen the space featured in television shows for its rustic interior, but we're here for the food! Their desserts have won multiple awards, as has their down-home southern buffet.
This is the kind of place where you can bring your mom, your kids, out of town guests, or folks who are born and bred southerners. Good food don't lie!
It's neat to see so many locals eating together inside. This is the heart of Christiana and the pulse of the town; a place where you should come just to be a part of such an incredible community for the span of a single meal.
Most often, you'll find a smattering of two or three deliciously cooked meats on the buffet table, with a whole selection of fresh salads, breads (biscuits for us, please!), and cooked veggies. Plus, their desserts number well over 10 on an average day. Yum!
You can visit for yourself at 7011 Main Street in beautiful Christiana, Tennessee on Tuesday through Sunday. Come with an empty belly and ready to indulge! That's the best way to experience the south, after all.

If you’re looking to continue getting involved in fun local festivals, this Chattanooga wine festival is pretty incredible.
