In Short – At lunchtime, a mostly female working crowd congregates for lunch, but in the evening, young families dominate the scene. The menu builds on the signature rotisserie chicken with a choice of two sauces, black beans, sides and salads. Sweet and spicy flavors permeate everything; even the corn bread and turnip greens are sweet. Healthier options are also available, including skinless chicken, fat-free barbecue sauces and low-fat salad dressings.

Awful vegetarian food
by sstofer at Citysearch
We are vegetarians and were looking for a good place to eat while visiting Nashville and this was very disappointing. There were not that many options to begin with, we ended up ordering the Boca burger with sweet potatoes and rice and the black bean salad. The burger was disgusting, it tasted like it was just boiled in water or microwaved to heat it up, the sweet potatoes were fine, but the rice was crusty and out of a box. The salad consisted of canned beans, boxed rice, tomatoes, lettuce, and stale chips. Nothing was homemade or original. If you are into good food, I would suggest you steer clear of the Calypso Cafe.

Great place to go
by jdd32005 at Citysearch
I have loved this place for years. I always get the Lucayan Salad. It is awesome. It also come with two cornbread muffins that are incredibly good. I also recommend the Black Bean Dip for an appetizer. The one on Elliston is always packed at lunch, but there are several locations throughout the city that you can try. Great restaurant.
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: Crowded

Top cheap eats in Nashville
by murphyjt at Citysearch
VERY quick service (less than 5 minutes for nearly everything). Rotisserie chicken and the salads are must-haves. Less than 10 bucks per person and you walk out full and satisfied. It's not fancy, the parking is limited, and they cram in as many people as possible during lunchtime. But they keep people coming in.
- Pros: quick service, good value
- Cons: parking, slightly hectic during lunch time
