   Oaklawn Southern Dining was recommended by our friends and we are so glad they did! Delicious food, great cocktails and the service was amazing. Their wine and bourbon selections were top-notch!! ALL of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The ambience was warm and inviting, Mr.Joe really turned that sweet little house into something amazing. We live just over an hour away, but we will definitely be back.

   I live in a rural area and this is the best restaurant in the area. Upon arriving, rom the alert parking to being seated the service is top notch. After being seated, the top notch service continues. From the hostess to our server, no detail is left out. Server is very attentive without being intrusive and provides a personal touch to her service. The food is a 10+ on a scale of 1-10. This is our favorite place to dine at when wanting to feel special and enjoy a first-class meal. This will always be our first choice when we want to dine out an be treated with a personal touch.

   A very welcoming atmosphere from the moment you pull in the parking lot, this was our first time, and we thoroughly enjoyed the warmth, knowledge and the timing (knowing when and when not to check on our table). We look forward to our next visit in the future.

   Flawless service. Incredible food. A must-visit. Oaklawn Southern Dining sets the standard for fine dining in Tennessee. The steaks? Perfectly cooked. The presentation? Impeccable. The bourbon and wine selection? World-class. Want to impress your significant other? Make a reservation. Ask for a table by the bar, and if you want to go the extra mile, request rose petals—they’ll make it happen. And whatever you do, order “The King.” It’s an Old Fashioned inspired by Elvis—peanut butter, banana, and bacon whiskey. Sounds unusual, but trust me, it’s next-level good. Oaklawn is a place you don’t just visit—you experience it.

   Great atmosphere and service perfect for any date night! My wife and I had some minor issues during our recent visit; however, those have been more than rectified and we will be frequent visitors to Oaklawn. This place is a gem in Paris. It is truly a breath of fresh air to have a place like this where you don't have to drive to Memphis or Nashville. Do yourself a favor and let Mr. Joe and his excellent staff create the perfect date night for you and your significant other. Mr. Joe goes above and beyond to make sure you have the perfect dining experience. It is obvious that he takes great pride in the taste and quality of the food he serves.
