Calypso Cafe 100 Oaks

My husband and I usually eat here at least once a week. We love the rotisserie chicken, salads and sides. Well, my husband’s been in the hospital for awhile but I had a hankering for some Calypso and ate there today. We’ve gotten to know server Quinton over the years, and he asked after my husband. He was so sweet so I took his picture with a fan around his neck (he hustles!) to send to my husband. So when you go tell Quinton he has a big fan from Franklin. What an asset he (and Amy, another longtime server) are to CC.

Calypso is a Nashville classic. Their menu is fun and expansive. Service, even during their busy weekday lunch rushes, is extremely tight. Their salads are fabulous. The Lucayan salad is 10/10. Don’t miss that one! It’s the perfect blend of flavors and textures. The muffins served with the salad were delicious but a bit dry. There’s a parking lot with a decent amount of spots in front of the restaurant.

This place is one of my absolute most favorite places to eat in the Nashville area! There used to be multiple locations, including one in Murfreesboro! I don’t know what happened, but I enjoyed being able to get fresh and delicious food served with a smile within a fairly close proximity of pretty much anywhere. Now, there is only the one location open. Maybe more people will start to go back and give them enough business to open for longer hours and multiple locations again.🤞🏼🙏🏻

Our waiter was hands on with service! The food was delicious! Our waiter was so good that I stated I did not need a to go cup of fruit tea so when he brought my friend’s, before I could get out of my mouth that I changed my mind, he was placing ‘my to go cup’ in front of me! Wow, y’all that is true customer service!! Kudos to this worker bee who clearly thinks ahead and cares!! Parking limited at noon as expected but worth the experience!
