These restaurants may not look like much on the outside, but you’ll be
amazed by the quality of the food. Why wait for 30 mins+ for a table at
Cheddar’s when you can avoid the lines by eating at a lesser-known hole in the
wall? Here are what I believe to be the most underrated restaurants in
Clarksville:
1. Smoove's Grill
When
I first saw that the price per pound for pulled pork and brisket here were
about half the price of other BBQ joints in Clarksville, I was skeptical.
How could they afford to sell high-quality meat at $8 per pound? I don’t
know how they do it, but they make the best BBQ I’ve ever tasted. The
ribs are so tender, the meat literally melts right off the bone! If I were
passing through Clarksville and could only stop at one place for lunch, this
would definitely be where I’d go.
2. La Morenita
I
know I shouldn’t have two Mexican restaurants on the same list, but I just
can’t help myself. I never would have guessed that Clarksville of all
places would have quality Mexican grub, but I’m glad that these places proved
me wrong. Definitely try the chorizo and huevo rancheros here.
3. Keondra’s Restaurant
Soul
food, a staple cuisine of Southern culture. This place has it all:
catfish, biscuits and gravy, and you can even order off menu sometimes!
Their green beans are the most fresh I’ve ever tasted; be sure to order an
extra portion!
4. El GrullenseTaqueria
As
a former resident of LA, I’ve had plenty of amazing meals at taco trucks and
stands, and La Morenita matches the best of those in quality. They have
mastered the use of Southwestern spices; not too salty, and just the right
amount of kick! Try the tripe or lengua if you’re feeling bold!

5. Tropicana
The
only Dominican restaurant in Clarksville that I know of, which makes it the
best Dominican restaurant here by default. You can’t go wrong with the
baked chicken, steak, or shrimp pasta here.
