11 Best American Restaurants in Nashville

“We stayed at the Brown County Inn, which was a great hotel and then ate at the harvest dining room. We ordered the drunken fish. I really didn't care for it. The beer was just too overwhelming in the batter needed to be cooked long. The fish was soggy, the Brussels sprouts are amazing, just get you some Thai chili sauce on the side to add to them. Because they are bland.“

“We were in Nashville for a girls weekend. We had the bruschetta which is my favorite and this was BY FAR the best bruschetta I have ever had. We also had fabulous salads and very good soup! We were then surprised to find out they have a late night dance party which was a BLAST!!! We had sooo much fun!!! Finally some night life in Nashville! I can't wait to go back!!“

“Rafters is a Nashville gem! Great food and great prices! Service is great as well; highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Enjoyed some great bourbon…Four Grain was my favorite 😊. The food was really good and the atmosphere was wonderful. The service we received from our server, Hunter and from another very engaged employee, Cooper, was outstanding. These two young people were a great example of a wonderful culture that must exist at Hard Truth. Thanks to both of them for an amazing experience. We will definitely return. 😊“

“I ended up with a room that was not what had been advertised, and I'm not complaining. It was the correct room type, but I had a larger balcony and a different bed. Overall, this hotel was very pleasant to stay at. Sure, its kind've rough around the edges with some wear on the room, but that's to be expected. The front desk staff explained everything very well upon checking in and made sure any issues with my room were taken care of immediately. I wasn't sure if the balcony suite would be worth it, but I ended up being able to see the aurora borealis from it (disclaimer: not a normal occurence at this location) and relax on it when it got warmer. So, it was absolutely worth it.
As for the restaurant, I had the Manhattan. Twice. Because it was that good. Imagine a heavenly pile of sourdough bread, roast beef (which on its own was amazing), and mashed potatoes. All drenched in gravy. I stopped in for breakfast before I left which was also very good and high quality
Overall, I plan on staying here again in the future and highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had a wonderful meal at The Nashville House on one of their busiest Fridays in October. The food was delicious, and the staff were both friendly and efficient! I especially want to thank the owner for her gracious help after we accidentally left a purse with a phone inside. Since we were traveling and couldn’t return, the staff immediately secured it and assured us it would be mailed. The owner personally took care of sending it safely, which we deeply appreciate. That kind of care and professionalism, especially during such a busy time, really stands out. Highly recommend this charming spot!“

“I stayed 09/25/-09/27 under my sister reservation for 4 of us. Greetings from the Front Desk was not pleasant at all. She acted like she didn't like people. We had a room upstairs originally, but after loaded 4 of us girls belongs on one small cart we found out NO elevator. My niece went to ask front desk for downstairs room instead, but we had to wait until 4:00 so we was told to leave cart up front by her area and that there was a security camera there as well for safety. I went up to reservation desk area to check on where they place our belongings on the cart. I told the unfriendly lady that we had too much of things to carry upstairs..She stated "Well, she knew that we didn't have an "elevator "because she said that my sister even said "2nd floor and no elevator. I walked out and told my sister what she said and my sister and nieces all said NO SHE DIDN"T. I didn't think that the registration lady needed to be accommodating nicely instead of being unpleasant. Then, Thursday night we went to the br to hear the last 1/2hr. to watch the band. We sat in the front row. Us girls were enjoying being all together(MY sister and 2 nieces as well as myself) laughing and cutting up. As soon as one of their songs were over the guitar lady ( Rogers's sister maybe named Denise) called us out morels on her Microphone asking.Did you just come from the bar across the way, then we said no ..she says making it a late night ..there is a Police Station right down the road and repeated one again ...There is a Police Station down the road. In front of everyone who was sitting in the bar area. For one, My sister had Bronchitis and my niece just got them a drink and myself had water. I did not drink at all any alcohol the whole time I stayed there. I did not say anything back to her because I was so stunned on what she said directly to us in front of everyone on her microphone. These were 2 huge experiences that I we had there. Now, for the most positive experiences was Miss Emma(long haired Food waitress...she was very delightful, courteous, attentive for 3 different occasions in the restaurant Thurs. & Fri. Vicki, ( who was in charge...I believe... for Room Service, etc. she was also friendly with always a smile, attentive, and courteous. I wanted to share this Feedback . Thank you for reading this and I hope the negative things will be addressed. Pam Jackson, Connersville, IN.“

“I recently ate breakfast here. Overall, the food was very good. However, the biscuits were a little dry and crumbly but not enough to drop a star. The apple butter and iced tea were awesome and more than made up for it. There was a hummingbird feeder outside our window I would like to see one outside of every window. We seen multiple Hummingbirds feeding. The staff was polite and attentive. Prices were reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised that they had an elevator as my wife used a walker. The architecture is awesome lot's of wood and stone.“

“Indiana is famous for it's pork tenderloin sandwich. Most are as large as a plate and served golden brown. I highly recommend NOT expecting sure a presentation at this restaurant. My pork tenderloin arrived about the same size as a hamburger bun, dark brown with light black edges. Additionally, the tomato was nearly as thick as a playing card. I could view the menu through the tomato fruit. Time limitation and everyone else being served prevented sending it back.“

“I rated this place when the hotel came up.
Went there for a quick bite. Got some burgers and my wife got breaded chicken sandwich. Food was very good and the waiter was very attentive. Got our order rather fast and very satisfied with the food . In my opinion the price was very reasonable. Worth our visit.“

“I dont usually leave reviews but this past weekend we had our family christmas 18 of us plus my service dog. We ended up getting snowed in due to the storm. The staff was amazing from the front desk, waitresses, house keeping, and even the ground crews. They spent all night shoveling and plowing to make sure all guest were safe. I couldn't be more thankful for this amazing lodge. Already planninga spring trip“
