About Cookeville Bites
A local-first restaurant guide for the Upper Cumberland and surrounding towns.
Our Mission
Cookeville Bites was created with a simple purpose: to make it easier for locals and visitors to find great places to eat across the Upper Cumberland and nearby communities.
Instead of digging through messy review sites or outdated recommendations, Cookeville Bites provides clean, curated listings organized by cuisine, neighborhood, and style.
From mom-and-pop diners to new openings, food trucks, and established favorites, our goal is to highlight the best of the Upper Cumberland food scene—starting in Cookeville and expanding outward.
Why We Built It
The Upper Cumberland has a growing food culture—restaurants, pop-ups, food trucks, cafés, bakeries, and hidden gems. But until now, there hasn’t been a clean, modern, local-first directory bringing it all together.
Cookeville Bites solves that by offering:
- Curated restaurant categories for quick browsing
- Neighborhood guides for planning meals around town
- Food truck listings tracked and updated regularly
- Simple, ad-free browsing without distractions
It’s designed to be useful for residents, college students, travelers, and anyone exploring the Upper Cumberland or passing through the region.
About the Creator
Cookeville Bites was created by someone who enjoys exploring food throughout the Upper Cumberland. After noticing how difficult it was to find accurate, up-to-date restaurant information across the region, the idea for a modern, organized local dining guide was born.
The goal wasn’t to create another review site—just a clean, trustworthy directory that celebrates local food and makes it easier for people to experience everything the Upper Cumberland has to offer.

Where We’re Expanding Next
Cookeville Bites is built with growth in mind. While coverage starts in Cookeville, the goal is to expand thoughtfully across the Upper Cumberland—adding towns, areas, and dining guides as the directory grows.
Upcoming expansion areas may include:
- Additional Upper Cumberland towns with active local dining scenes
- More area-based pages to help diners browse by location
- Expanded food truck coverage as schedules and locations are added
- Curated regional guides for visitors, students, and day trips
Expansion is driven by real usage and community input. If you know a town, area, or restaurant scene that should be featured next, we want to hear about it.
