Lamp Post Restaurant 4218 Highway 411, Madisonville, TN 37354

"Been coming here since I was kid, you won’t find better biscuits and gravy! The burgers are good too and the waitresses are always friendly and stay on top of their service. Only thing I would change is adding onto the building to seat more people! 10/10!"

"Prices are great and so are the people. Food is good and cooked at a fast pace, even when there's a packed house. Not many diners like this left, and a fun place to sit at the counter."

"I never complain about restaurant’s but the staff was very disrespectful and just rude. I ordered chicken Alfredo and it was not good at all there was literally 3 pieces of chicken in the Alfredo. I got potato salad and mashed potatoes & gravy the only good thing was potato salad. Also the potato soup was a complete disappointment. I will not go back."

"1st time customer, and unfortunately last time also. 6/24/23 My wife and I both ordered a fish plate. The picture of the fish plate on the menu has 2 pieces of fish, some hushpuppies, fries and slaw. We got 1 small piece of dried up overcooked fish, fries and slaw. (No hushpuppies). We both got sweet tea, the tea was very weak and watered down. We waited for 50+ mins on the food, no one ever updated us on our order or apologized for the wait. It was pretty busy, but someone should had updated us. I don't mind a wait and understand, but the food should be worth the wait. The fish that we were served was small and very thin and hard to cut with a fork. I ate 2 fries and both was cold. I asked for the manager, she was rude and defensive from the start. She said the fish is flounder and cooked to a perfect golden brown. I told her it was smaller than a mcdonald fish filet sandwich and she said no it wasn't. I had high hopes for the lamppost, we like to support small businesses but this visit was very disappointing. The manager did no charge our orders, but never apologized or cared about our visit and wasted time. The picture posted is what I was served. I should've took a picture of how thin the fish was. Most restaurants wouldn't serve this to their customers."

"I had heard this place was awesome from friends who live in the area. They were right! I've been watching my carbs so I went with pulled pork, which was delicious, but next time it will be gravy and biscuits!!! As I was walking through to the register to pay out and noticed everyone had stacks of biscuits and gravy!! I actually went over and asked if I could take a picture of a guy's plate for my review!! If they taste half as good as they look I'm in for a treat!! Just a little hometown place that I love to find!!"
