Jasper's

"Jasper’s is a casual Midtown hang for when the weather isn’t playing ball. The two indoor game rooms are equipped with board games, an air hockey table, old-school arcade consoles, and a basketball free-throw machine — all free for customers. The portions here are generous, so expect plates and bowls brimming with mounds of chili cheese fries, and cauliflower poppers, along with sizeable flatbread and burgers. Most of the items here can be modified for those with gluten sensitivities, too." - Ellen Fort, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"If you find yourself wanting to skip the buzz during lunch or dinner, look to the “I’m Not Drinking Today” section of Jasper’s menu for non-alcoholic cocktails, specialty sodas, and a constantly growing list of non-alcoholic beers. Standouts include the Blackberry Beret (blackberry basil, lime, ginger beer, and soda), Jasper’s Balloon (orange, lime, soda, and a Luxardo cherry), and the Strawberry Bliss (strawberry, limon, demerara, and soda)." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"This casual West End hang knows how to make some serious frozen cocktails, like the citrus-forward frosé off their “Frozen Fabrications” menu. Pair it up with an order of the larger-than-life nachos or a crisp, cool salad before heading to their game room for some competitive rounds of air hockey and basketball hoops." - Clara Wang, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff

"Deb Paquette’s West End casual spot is offering a fall twist on a Nashville classic: the pumpkin-spiced bushwhacker. Pastry whiz Megan Williams also has a pumpkin-spice ice cream-filled sandwich — stuffed between ginger molasses cookies." - Delia Jo Ramsey

"After Saltine Restaurant joined the numerous restaurant COVID-19 casualties, 4Top Hospitality and Deb Paquette joined forces for their newest culinary expression in this West End prime real estate. The playful restaurant also is home to The Market at Jasper’s — where Paquette’s culinary team serves up a variety of on-the-go meals and sauces. The space is also packed with curated snacks, beverages, gift baskets, and other specialty foods." - Melissa Corbin
