GREAT PLACE. We are frequent travelers to the Cayman Islands and our favorite restaurant is there - CHICKEN -CHICKEN! This restaurant is the closest thing to that place and it is right in Nashville. Great Food! Definitely a healthy alternative to most places!

Great if they'd lighten up on the salt. Calypso Cafe used to have the best lunch in the city but somebody needs to take the salt shaker away from the current chef--maybe it's me, but it's gotten VERY salty. The food was always good, always consistent, and the service is great. It?s got the occasional obnoxious, ill-mannered diner who doesn?t realize there are other people in the place with her while she screams into her cell phone, but I?m beginning to think that?s going to happen anywhere you go. What?s wrong with these people?

Anyway, Calypso Cafe?s a bit crowded at lunchtime, but they get you in and out pretty quickly. And it?s worth the wait--except on Sundays when the church people bring their fidgeting kids who should be on Ritalin but obviously aren?t.

If you go after 2PM for lunch, don?t expect the quality you get at noon?I don?t know why, but it seems to slip a bit after the lunch crowd leaves.

And please, guys, lose the salt. I haven't been there in over a year because my last two lunches were like eating the Dead Sea on top of salad greens. I'll try again in a month or so.

Good, healthy food at low prices--great for lunch or take-out. When I entered the staff was super-friendly and helped me with menu and ordering. The food was delicious, healthy, and plentiful. I got a chicken salad which was enough to feed 3 people and only cost ~$7. The decor is simple. Good place for lunch or takeout.

Good food at affordable prices.. Our group of four ate at the Thompson Ln location on a Tuesday night around 8pm. We were seated quickly and the service throughout our meal was commendable. The food was great and *very* inexpensive for pretty large portion sizes. Although the menu is relatively small compared to most restaurants, the reduced number of choices probably contributed to our short wait time for our meal. I'm already planning on heading back here soon, too, probably for carry out. Yum...
