Love this place e. The food is always fresh. The homemade cookies and chicken salad are my favorites. We will come again and again.
Food is great when they actually serve it hot and give you the correct items. It’s great half the time. Frequently soups are barely warm and they will sell you items and then come to your table after the fact that they have sold out or didn’t have any that day. For a family of 4 today they served half of the food correct and the other half of the food was unavailable. No offer to refund but to just pick something else we didn’t want. All of the soups today were cold. Lastly, about half of the employees are not particularly friendly but the other half are quite pleasant. Seems to be 50/50 on just about everything at The Picnic. After todays $70 horrible lunch it will probably be a few months before I roll the dice again. Hope The Picnic can figure things out because today they just really didn’t care.
Very nice, but did not get the baked squash casserole, did not get my yeast rolls or the cupcakes. I am a hour away. They went over what I was getting but it was still not in the box.
Great chicken salad and their in-house made ranch dressing is awesome. Highly recommend the coconut cake and fruit tea.
A Nashville staple! But they have got to stop using sooo much plastic. They are wasteful and it is shameful. For example, my in-house dining experience consisted of the following: soup in a plastic bowl, plastic spoon, cake in a plastic container, and five individual plastic cream cups for my coffee (with a plastic lid). None of these plastics can be recycled in Nashville. I love ya’ll but you have got to change your model and hire a dishwasher! Until then I unfortunately will not be back - I cannot support this much waste.
A quick lunch at this meet and greet Nashville staple does not disappoint. I needed to rush through take-out, and a kind, accommodating server whisked me around the sit down line, and in less than 5 minutes I was on my way with a near-perfect pimento cheese sandwich and chicken tortilla soup. A bit pricey but quality is usually worth it.
The picnic Cafe had a wonderful simple fresh food. I enjoyed the healthy menu, while the staff all seemed happy and content with their jobs. Although a $20 lunch seemed a bit high, I would still return to this place. My only concern was I was told I would get a muffin with my lunch and I received crackers instead. Not the problem I ate them anyway.
Nashville staple. Been many times but never reviewed. Good simple picnic food, if a little overpriced for what it is. But sometimes you just want something that feels homemade without the effort. Chicken salad is solid, cheese wafers are a must, baked goods are all pretty good - love their crescent cookies! To-go cases are convenient (the family meals I've tried were good), but need a clearly marked & dedicated checkout for the self-serve items, esp at lunch. Beware that they often get extremely backed up at lunch. Have made a pickup order (for 6 meals) before that I ended up waiting an extra 30 min for after it was supposed to be ready.

Positives:Nice staffCleanQuaint decorations if you like Southern Style.Negatives:The food is pretty bad. I had a BLT, a blueberry muffin, cranberry salad, and wedding cookies (the latter was free with the meal).They use cheap ingredients like low quality wheat bread, and inferior bacon. The blueberry muffin was dry and tasted worse than box kits.The "cranberry salad" was actually a small cup of cranberry jello with whip cream.All of this came out to about 15 dollars. You can literally make it yourself without really trying hard or having any cooking skill for far less.The only thing that tasted good was the free wedding cookie.I reccomend instead going to the nearby Moe's Southwest Grill or the Publix across the street for a sub/deli item. It'll be cheaper and more satisfying.
