What People Are Saying About Sylvan Park

In Short – Nestled in a modest old house, Sylvan Park's baby blue walls and crowded square tables are a throwback to the days before fast food and fern bars. The lunch entrees are reminiscent of a Southern, Sunday afternoon feast: turkey and dressing, fried chicken, roast beef with gravy, country ham (fried or baked) and country fried steak. But Sylvan Park keeps its lofty reputation on made-fresh chocolate and butterscotch pies.
Rude
by Elizabeth333222
Elenor Clay, the owner of Sylvan Park is a very rude lady. I would not suggest eating at this restaurant. There are many other wonderful places to dine in Nashville without giving this business owner business your business.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Rude Owner
Donelson Location finally meets expectations
by Niki4God
We were so happy to have a Donelson location open a year or more ago, but very disappointed when we ate there. They were not open long and we didn't mourn their closing. After another restaurant (which was also pretty bad) opened then closed the Sylvan Park sign went back up. I decided to try it again today and was very pleasantly surprised. I went with two friends and we had a wide assortment of the veggies, along with crabcakes and roast beef. We were all very pleased and found the food to be flavorful and well cooked. Our server was very patient with us while we waited for one of our friends and took very good care of us. If you tried this restaurant in one of its previous incarnations, you should really consider giving it another try.
- Pros: Service, veggies, portions
- Cons: Seems a little pricey, but I'm kind of cheap
Do you like cat food?
by u2bonoman
If you do, try the roast beef. It's got the smell and the consistency of cat food, and I can even imagine that this is what cat food tastes like. Really just some of the worst roast beef I have ever had, and I have had A LOT. The green beans were good, and the other veges just ok. And the service?? HORRIBLE.
So, supposedly this place has great chocolate pie. I guess I'll never know, because I was hoping to try a piece and didn't get to. Why? Because a group of 6 people came in just as I was about to finish my meal, and the server apparently knew them, because she asked them immediately if they wanted chocolate pie. Apparently there was only 2 slices left, so she gave them a chance to claim them. That's just.... stupid.
- Pros: Green beans
- Cons: Everything else.
The Details on Sylvan Park
The Extras:
A vegetable plate isn't a bad option. Squash casserole, mac and cheese, green beans and the positively transcendent mashed potatoes get the thumbs-up.
Know Before You Go:
Prepare to stand around and wait if you're going for lunch.
