cafe 41 - American restaurant in Jasper - 15 Courthouse Square, USA

We enjoyed a bacon and blackberry, London broil, and bourbon ham. All 3 were fresh and delicious! The maple caramel cake is amazing!

The best little restaurant in town. Great food, friendly waitress and owner with a smile for everyone. Great food I had cheddar potato soup, and a chicken salad sandwich. Oh and macaroni salad and the best coconut pie ever. Jack had Reuben sandwich and Mac salad. Delicious!! And the atmosphere is so pretty! You can’t go wrong there!

This was our first visit to Cafe 41 in Jasper, TN. In fact, it was probably our first visit to Jasper, TN. We read about the restaurant on the internet and decided to locate it and try it out. My first impression was that the Cafe is like stepping back in time. It is a local restaurant and the decor was unique. Halloween is coming up and the restaurant had put spider webs up on the wall with various other Halloween designs. There were a number of people in the restaurant. It was just about full. There was one waitress and she was also the cashier. She was working hard. There was a short wait and she expertly took orders, carried out the food and handled payments. Part of the reason it was like stepping back in time was that many restaurant patrons obviously knew each other and were socializing and greeting others as they came in or left. Some people went from table to table to chat with people they knew. It reminded me of diners in small towns and cities from the 1950's. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The menu is essentially limited to sandwiches, wraps and soup. Stephanie suggested the Chicken Caesar Wrap. (I had narrowed down my choices to two options and I quickly took her suggestion.) It Chicken Caesar consisted of roasted chicken, parmesan cheese, Havarti cheese, Caesar dressing, and Romaine lettuce and all encased in a spinach wrap. My wife went for the Reuben sandwich. It came with corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing on rye bread. The spinach wrap had probably been warmed in a panini press grill. That made it hot and held the spinach wrap together tightly. It had good flavor, perhaps a little heavy on the Caesar dressing which tended to squirt out when I bit into it, but it was quite good. The bread on the Reuben was a little burned but the corned beef was a good quality. Both sandwiches came with a bag of chips and we ordered a drink. The peach tea was quite good. The pastries looked excellent, particularly the Elvis Cake, but we were too full to properly enjoy the dessert. It was a good experience in a small town atmosphere (population about 3400).

Some people really love the place. I thought it was a little pricey and the food and service was average. Chicken salad was bland and I don't consider potato chips as a decent side in a non-fast food restaurant.

Food was interesting but good. Service was quick and friendly. Drinks were flat though.

Fantastic Find! Tried 10 menu items between the six of us.

We ate here for the first time today. My wife had the Cranberry Chicken Salad and I had the Pineapple Chicken salad. Both were delicious with an ample amount of salad in the croissant. Then we split a piece of coconut pie: it was amazing. The crust was light and flaky, just like our grandmothers used to make. The filling had the right proportion of coconut, and the meringue was covered with toasted coconut. We can't recall the last time we had pie this good in a restaurant. We'll be back!!

My daughter and I split our meals we had the Blackberry Bacon Grilled Cheese, Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and loaded potato soup and to go coconut Creme pie.. very good food will definitely be back next time Chicken salad
