Shelby's Trio

"Stopped by after an APSU basketball double-header and it wasn't busy at all on the first floor. Cool space, interesting concept. Unfortunately service and food wasn't. The menu is very basic. Nothing unique. The car references are WAY over the top; some make no sense. Our server was fine but it was either the end of her shift or she was having a rough night because she wasn't exactly friendly. Basically matter of fact in all responses. She didn't write down our order which isn't necessarily bad, but only if you get it right. She did not. First order was the Mechanic Burger: no mayo, no mustard, no tomato. It came out with no ketchup and no tomato. The second order was Born to Run: no mustard. Came out with mustard and no mayo. Checked the receipt, she didn't enter either correctly. Third order was their veggie burger (Not in the Race). It came out correctly but was simply falling apart. Basically not edible as a sandwich but supposedly tasted pretty good. They put something called "break dust" on like half of their items which is like a seasoned salt. Too much of it on the fries; was overpowering on our visit. Maybe they generally do better and we were there on a bad night, with a tired server, and a kitchen with a heavy hand on the brake dust. But for the cost of the meal for three, I doubt we'll ever make a return visit. Better food, service, and atmosphere at other restaurants in town."

"My husband and I went to Joe's Garage for the first time last week and we genuinely liked it. The fried pickles were different than what we are used to but we enjoyed our entrées and the price for both of us was surprisingly low. Over the weekend some friends and I visited Trattoria di cat and we really liked the atmosphere and our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We had Bruschetta for the table and we all loved it. I had chicken carbonara for dinner and Lavender Crème brûlée for dessert which was very tastey. The price for one person was pretty high though."

"First time dining at Shelby’s, we dined on the 3rd floor, Skyline 500. Neither of the floors were busy but the atmosphere was very relaxing. The drinks were good and food was great. We will definitely return to try the 2nd floor next."

"Went to the Italian restaurant inside Shelby’s trio tonight. There wasn’t much parking and it was all full so I had to park down the hill at legend’s bank. It was a hell of a walk and no sidewalk on the side of the building. Crossing the street at this location is very dangerous. The inside was beautiful however our service was average and food was below average. I usually love anything at Italian restaurants, I ordered the shrimp scampi and was a little shocked it wasn’t good. There was no hint of the regular scampi sauce you usually taste. The pesto that came with the bread was gross. The bread was about the only thing I can say tasted good. Went to the “rooftop” bar after and it’s laughable to call it a rooftop. There’s maybe enough room for 10 people comfortably. Drink was ok (Shirley temple 500) but was 12.5. Glad to try it out, unfortunately won’t be back."
