"I love this place! I love the variety of selection on the menu and I love the creole flare along with the great jazz music in the background. You feel right at home when Razz himself comes by and asks how everything is and tells you how much he appreciates you coming in.  Absolutely the best Gumbo in Nashville and now Smyrna!"

"When my husband and I want a romantic evening out, we always choose Raz'z. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff is attentive and ALWAYS polite, the food is excellent and reasonably priced, and the attention to detail is evident. It's obvious that Raz wants to provide the best experience possible, and he never disappoints. I always recommend Raz'z to friends for special occasions, or even for a quick bite. I've worked in several restaurants over the years, and if I were to get back in the biz, I think I'd apply here first. The staff seems to love their jobs, and it shows."

"I tried Raz'z this past weekend and loved it. I was greeted and seated by Raz, the owner/chef. He and the waiter were friendly and enthusiastic. One thing I noticed right away was the roominess of the booths - at many places you need a shoehorn to get in or out, here they got it right. I'm not one of those people who cares about the "presentation" of the food , but when my meal came I looked at it and said "This was done by somebody who cares about what he's doing." That's what set's Raz'z apart - it is run by someone who cares."

"Raz'z has the very best burgers in town on home-made buns cooked just the way you like them. He also has the very best soups anywhere. Go in and ask to meet Raz. He never forgets you after he meets you the first time. Great place, fair prices."

"This is my new favorite restaurant. I have never seen anything quite like it. There was a broad menu with reasonable prices. The staff was very courteous. And I can't get over this: the owner (Raz'z, also the chef) came out of the kitchen and was talking to some regulars, then some more customers came through the door and he proceeded to greet and seat them. That may not sound like much, but the genuine smile that he both gave and received from his customers told me that this place was something special. Try it once and you will be hooked. Oh yeah the food was great as well."
