“One of my favorite restaurants in Nashville—food and vibes are so good!! Shoutout to Ari for being the best waitress ever!”
“If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee is the place to be. As someone who has traveled almost 80 miles to indulge in the delicious Turkish food, I can attest that Edessa Restaurant is a hidden gem that should not be missed. The restaurant's ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who welcome you with a smile. The service is prompt, and the food always arrives hot and fresh. The menu is detailed in English, making it easy to understand, and there is no confusion when it comes to choosing what to order. What makes Edessa Restaurant stand out is the presentation of their food, which is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Each dish is beautifully plated, and the flavors are expertly balanced. The cleanliness of the restaurant is also noteworthy, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic dining experience. In my recent visits, our server Hanan was exceptional. Her name in Arabic means "Tenderness with compassion and affection," and she truly lived up to her name by providing prompt and attentive service with a smile. As someone who has tried various types of cuisine from different cultures, I can confidently say that Edessa Restaurant's Turkish food and service are unmatched. I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new and unique to visit Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, TN. I give it 5 stars, and it is undoubtedly the number-one Turkish restaurant around.

“AMAZING FIND in Nashville! The Tiew Gang Vegan noodle soup is really good!”
“Each time we fly through Nashville, we stopped here to eat. The food is really good, and the service is top-notch. The manager, Maverick? I think, will be seen busing tables during busy times. The wait staff is always friendly. This time we had Tracy- a spunky gal with a great attitude. No matter what you order you can’t go wrong with a side of their queso. That wonderfully smooth hot cheese dip is good on everything. Also, most of the time we split when we go here- we get the double patty burger- it’s excellent!”

“We were in town for just a few days. Looked for Italian near our hotel and read great reviews of Caffe Nonna. It lived up to those. My husband and I split a salad and the Nonna lasagna and the tiramisu for dessert. It was all delicious. The two types of bread were both excellent. Would highly recommend this little gem!”
“This was my first time eating here and sure won't be my last. The food was excellent! The portions are a nice size! The food just melted in my mouth!!!”
“This has recently become one of my favorite plant based spots in Nashville after trying them at Hunters Station last weekend, then having my boyfriend go back later that night and the next day to grab us food. The fish sandwich tastes exactly like fish and the cheesy potatoes compliment it to well. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they open up on a more consistent basis but for now I’m ok with stalking their insta page to see where their going to be. 10/10”
“The Authentique is a charming French wine bar nestled in the heart of East Nashville, where the warm hospitality of owners Philippine and Alexandre sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere, combined with top-tier customer service, creates a welcoming environment for guests. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!”
“The best dining experience I’ve ever had. The chef’s choice was an awesome choice! Everything that came out was delicious. Our servers were wonderful especially our waitress who had us sign her Nancy Drew book. That added to the experience! Can’t wait to go back!”

“I was in the Nashville location on 1/28 during my visit to the area. It was packed but everything moved quickly, efficiently and the staff was so very friendly to everyone. That didn’t stop just at the start but all throughout our time there. The lady helping us (her name was Isis, I believe) even followed back up with us on something. Her and the manager went above and beyond to take care of us on something we didn’t even ask them to. Btw, nothing happened, they were just out of something, it came back in and they took care of us. A measure most would not do but she found us and made sure to take care. Now THAT is friendly customer service! The food is so amazing, y’all. This is going to be my new joint for every single visit to Nashville from now on. Hot dayum!!”

“We had to come to this institution of Southern Meat and 3 Restaurants. As a Chef, I always seek out the best places in the cities I travel to. They won a James Beard Award in 2009. Met the Owner, Rose, and her son, Cahill. They bought is dessert which was this awesome Bread Pudding and Peach Pie that was just incredible. This is a place that shows what True Southern Food and True Southern Hospitality are all about. Thank You”
“My sister, daughter, and I stumbled upon Assembling Food Hall last night before the Mumford and Sons concert at Bridgestone. We were very impressed. It was clean, spacious, and had a variety of food and drinks. It was definitely not crowded like all the bars. The prices were decent too. This will definitely be our go to spot from now on.”

“It’s been a number of years since we frequented Kayne Prime due to a move out of state. Last night’s experience was excellent. We were celebrating my husband’s retirement and each staff member we encountered asked about it, congratulated him and took care to make it notable. You also upped your game with the cute goat cheese tarts and palette cleanser. Last night was truly an experience above the excellent meal you are known for. We are blessed to have dined in many high end restaurants and last night you especially rose to the top. Must shout out our server Matthew. He is so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Thank you for going above and beyond. It was a night and meal to remember!”
“I have lived in Nashville for over 20 years and this was one of the best meals I have had here! Our server, Kayla, was delightful and funny and was on top of everything. The tuna tartare was out of this world and I will be dreaming about the garlic bread and agnolotti until I go back! It’s tucked away in WeHo but it’s worth the trip.”
“This is our absolute favorite neighborhood spot! We are so lucky that Nick (the chef and owner) moved to Nashville cause otherwise our neighborhood would absolutely suck. Honestly I don’t know how I survived before Kore opened. But seriously, every single dish is phenomenal and the menu has the perfect amount of options so that we get to order something different every time. Best restaurant in east nashville hands down!”
“From the first bite to the last, ETCH delivered one of the best dining experiences we've ever had We started with the shrimp and squid bruschetta, and it immediately set the tone for the evening The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The salmon was beautifully prepared with fresh vegetables that complemented it perfectly. The filet was fork-tender with an incredible sauce, while the osso buco was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and paired beautifully with sides. The venison was tender, perfectly cooked, and seasoned to perfection. Dessert was unforgettable. The chocolate mousse à la mode was rich yet light, paired with creamy vanilla ice cream and a hint of passion fruit. Three of us ordered that. We knew it would not be for sharing. The blueberry sundae featured the best blueberries we've ever tasted. And then there was the chocolate peanut butter brownie ice cream. As someone who's spent years trying chocolate peanut butter ice cream everywhere—from roadside shops to gelato in Italy—I can confidently say ETCH's version deserves to be considered one of the best in the world. The creamy chocolate and peanut butter, combined with rich brownie pieces, made it absolutely unforgettable. Normally I'd recommend a favorite dish, but I can't—because everything we ordered was exceptional. My advice? Go with a group, order a variety of dishes, and share everything. Every appetizer, entrée, side, and dessert that hit our table was outstanding, and every single person left talking about their favorites. Deb Paquette is a visionary and deserves a standing ovation The quality of the food, the creativity of the menu, the impeccable service, and the very reasonable prices make ETCH absolutely worth the trip. It's rare to find a restaurant where every single dish exceeds expectations, but ETCH did exactly that. We left already planning our next visit. I am still thinking about the ice cream and how I can get some delivered to my house.”

“The owner is the sweetest most genuine man you’ll meet! My car was broken into and not only did he help me get camera footage, crawl in a dumpster to get some items that were stolen and thrown away but gave me a free pizza and drink since my lunch box was stolen too! The pizza was amazing but the service and people that work there are even better. He’s a saint!”
“The chicken and biscuits from Raise the Roost inside the 7-Eleven on Newtown Road and Providence are, by far, the worst I've ever had. The chicken was either overcooked and dry, with burnt outsides and —likely due to improper fryer temperatures or incorrect timer settings. The coating was thick and cakey, indicating poor preparation. Even the green beans had no seasoning or taste. I recommend not using salt if you decide to season. To top it off, the bathrooms were in horrible and smelly condition. I would've returned the food if I had time. Thumbs down! I took pictures but you cannot upload”
“We got there within 40 minutes of closing (not busy thank goodness for us). We were served quickly. We had the Detroit pizza and it was fabulous. Food was great and the service was fabulous. We are only here for two days, otherwise I would definitely go again.”

“Once every week or two, I take a sacred day off, work out for approximately 4 hours, burn approximately 47,000 calories, and then come here.
Why, you ask?
The food is good. The blackened salmon, chicken, steak, asada, all delicious. Honestly, that’s maybe 25% of the reason I come here.
The other 75%?
THE QUESO.
I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. THAT. QUESO.
I take that little bowl home with me like it’s a super hot date. I cherish it. I respect it. I lick that tiny bowl clean with absolutely zero shame. That queso has seen things.
BUT TODAY,
Today, the woman responsible for QUESO betrayed me.
She filled my bowl to approximately 17% capacity. Maybe 1/5. I’m being generous. This was not queso. This was a queso sample.
I have never seen this woman before. She is new. I don’t know her. She doesn’t know me. Clearly, she does not understand the history between me and this queso.
I only discovered the crime after I got home.
And honestly? This hurt worse than when I lost my friend in middle school during the war in Syria. I am devastated. Broken. Emotionally unavailable.
Am I going to drive back?
No.
Am I going to call?
Absolutely not.
I will simply sit here, staring into this pathetic, empty queso bowl, wondering where it all went wrong.
Three stars because the food is good.
Zero stars for the emotional terrorism.
(Sad queso empty bowl pic is included as evidence)
Update: i didn’t email the restaurant, i love this place too much to not give it 5 stars.
Frankly, if they give me less cheese every visit i go, i ll still go back. I love you Baja burrito ❤”

“Present Tense has some of the best vibes on the block. Food was amazing, food was incredible… AND THE SERVICE was out of this world. David, Mikey, and Taylor went out of their way to make our experience incredible. David made us custom cocktails based on our preferences and he hit every mark. I will be visiting present tense on a weekly basis at this point based on the service alone (the great food and cocktails are just an added benefit).”
“My wife visited here about 6 months ago and got coffee on her way to the airport and hasn’t stopped talking about it since. We’re here for New Years and she made sure we came by. I got an iced white mocha, which is better than anyone I’ve ever had anywhere else and we also shared a Biscoff cheesecake which was absolutely incredible. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is amazing, you can’t go wrong if you come check this place out.”
“We had a fantastic brunch at Liberty Common! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated brunch experience. Highly recommend Liberty Common for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience!”
“Both my partner and I have gluten allergies and this place had a great variety of options. Banana bread is a must try! Service friendly and atmosphere was just right for the area. Not too over the top. Would go back !”
“Excellent service and food! Had the filet mignon which was outstanding and flavorful. The also offer great fun way to celebrate special occasions and make guests feel special!”

“I’ve visited Halls in Nashville several times, but last night was truly the best experience yet. My sister and brother-in-law came in from Memphis to celebrate my birthday, and everything—from the food to the service—was outstanding, as always. We were also fortunate to meet the owner, Tommy, who took the time to stop by our table. He went above and beyond to make the evening feel extra special, which made the celebration even more memorable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—we’ll definitely be back! I highly recommend Halls to both locals and visitors; you won’t be disappointed.”
“Hands down the best all around dinner experience in Nashville. Presentation was off the charts! This was our first time visiting, they had a “Christmas Eve” menu which looked delicious but we came with our hearts set on the steak; no questions asked the kitchen was happy to adjust, we received the best steak we have tasted yet! The staff was beyond wonderful, the atmosphere was perfect. Love love loved Yolan; this will be a must have every time we visit Nashville! Thank you Yolan for the perfect Christmas Eve experience!”
“We came here for a girls' night out and were absolutely blown away! The restaurant offers a stunning panoramic view of the Nashville skyline, creating a beautiful ambiance. The food was exceptional! The tuna tartare, prepared tableside, was incredibly fresh with great flavor--an absolute must-try!! The duck fat fries were perfectly crispy and served with three delicious sauces, each one better than the last. The steak was cooked perfectly medium, juicy and tender, and the seared scallop on the side was a delightful addition. This spot is perfect for a girls' night out or a rom”
“We stopped in while in Nashville. We were the first in the restaurant and were greeted by the. AMAZING staff. We didn’t have a reservation but were treated very well. We weren’t sure what we wanted to order so our server gave us some recommendations that didn’t disappoint. From the drinks to the end we were checked on frequently. Steak was like butter and cooked to perfection. Yes, the prices are high. That being said we will be returning and have recommended it to several friends as a “must try” while visiting Nashville.”
“My kids took me for my birthday. Walking in, the ladies at the front were very nice wishing me a happy birthday. Our waiter, Clifton, could not have been any nicer or attentive. My menu came with a Happy Birthday Anna written on it. The whole experience was really special. Everyone was just friendly and did their job over and above expectations. The food was very good. My daughter and I split a 12 oz Cowgirl ribeye which was perfect. My son got the Cowboy ribeye and he said it was amazing. The Mac n cheese was good. My DIL got the pasta primavera and she liked it. The butter cake was great and the waiter surprised me with Crème Brûlée. All very good. Great atmosphere. Definitely will be going back. Thank you for making my birthday memorable!”
“We had a fantastic experience at Fancypants. The maitre d', Gelene, was incredibly welcoming right from the start. Our server also went above and beyond when she found out that one of us had foid allergies. The chef made accommodations, as well. Highly recommend, it truly was the most intentional and delicious experience we have had in Nashville.”

“I have a severe alpha gal allergy and can’t have any mammal products and worry a lot about surprise ingredients and cross contamination. Previous to getting sick I ate there often and loved the hospitality, polite staff and amazing pizza. Today I went and expressed my desire to still have there pizza and ask for accommodation. They assured me they would wash everything and prevent cross contamination. They treated me with kindness and respect and made me feel very assured. I was excited to see they offered anchovies and that is a protein I can eat and really enjoyed it. These guys are great. Long story short 10/10. Please eat here”
“It's refreshing to find a restaurant like this, serving wonderfully delicious Uzbeiki food in Nashville.
They have a patio / terrace based outdoor seating which was amazing.
The kebabs are juicy and the pilaf is beautifully cooked. I love the way they serve the tea.
I was surprised to find kimchi on their menu - its really good kimchi and I would order it again!
Do save space in the stomach for their desserts - don't miss them!
Go there with a big appetite and you won't be disappointed.”
“Velvet Taco has great tasting flavor combinations, But… the tortillas are cold grocery store type. I ended up just eating the inside of my tacos with chips because the tortillas reminded me of playdoh… change the tortillas to a more authentic (cooked) tortilla and it’ll be sooo much better!!”
“Will never go to nashville again without stopping here! This is the best burger I have ever ate! Dim, cozy lighting. 80’s tunes playing in the background. It was truly like stepping back in time. We went on a thursday night, food came out so fast. I will say not really a spot for socializing and meeting people though. Definitely a great time nonetheless.”
“The food was incredible and service was top notch. Highly recommend if you love pizza, pasta, salads and fabulous Tiramisu!!”
“I have lived in Nashville for over 20 years and this was one of the best meals I have had here! Our server, Kayla, was delightful and funny and was on top of everything.

“Great experience with the friendliest staff in town. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit. A local’s favorite for sure.”
“Outstanding! Get one of everything, I think we did! Drew was our server and did an incredible job recommending delicious options. Some standouts were the charcuterie board, the croquettes, tomato and peach salad, the shrimp, and the desserts were to die for. Definitely a fun place to try many different items, all unique and delicious!”
“The food was delicious & service impeccable! Definitely will be back”
“Had the ribs and collards yesterday evening , both were outstanding. Highly enjoyed”
“Had a fabulous meal tonight! The steak was superb, the sides delicious & the staff lovely! We will definitely return when we visit Nashville in the future!”
“Today was the first I’ve even heard about this. I was leary about it at first with the parking being terrible. But my wife really wanted to try it. So valet we went. The young man that parked my Jeep was so nice and professional. But back to the restaurant. I was 100% impressed with just a burger that we are looking forward to coming back and having a real dinner. Hands down worth the time and energy. Bartenders were great, servers were polite and who I think was a manager was very attentive. Thank you all for today.”
“Pinewood in Nashville was amazing! We came here for a bachelorette party and had the best experience. The food was incredible, the drinks were on point, and the service made us feel like total VIPs. Our group was taken care of from start to finish and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Pinewood if you’re looking for a fun spot in Nashville with great vibes, great food, and great service!”
“Love eating here whenever I get to visit Nashville. Great food, amazing bread & butter, and fabulous desserts. The service is always outstanding and the bartenders are super friendly and fun!”
“Brooke was pretty phenomenal as a bartender yesterday! Thank you, Ma’am!!!”
“We were in town for just a few days. Looked for Italian near our hotel and read great reviews of Caffe Nonna. It lived up to those. My husband and I split a salad and the Nonna lasagna and the tiramisu for dessert. It was all delicious. The two types of bread were both excellent. Would highly recommend this little gem!”
“Wow oh wow!!! I have not had pizza this delish since I was about 5. The flavor just set my mouth to craving more! Crispy crust and amazing mix of ingredients! I tried the Good Paulie and a Skinny Margarita! Mmm mmm good! Gonna bring my besties down to try it out!! Oh and did I say what fabulous hospitality the staff presented? From walking in the door all thru the meal!! Simply the best!!”

“Absolutely great food, great atmosphere and incredible service. Don't miss out on the experience 🌹”
“Such good food at good prices. Staff was amazing, so friendly and quick. If you’re in Nashville looking for a good dinner that won’t make you completely broke, come here!”
“We came to Husk with high expectations for elevated Southern cuisine, and the quality of the food certainly delivered. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, and it’s clear the kitchen takes great pride in its ingredients and execution.
That said, we were a bit disappointed by the limited menu selection, as we expected a few more options. We also felt that some of the dishes were priced on the high side relative to the portion sizes.
Overall, it was a good dining experience, and we’re glad we tried it. While it wasn’t quite the value or variety we were hoping for, others looking for refined Southern cooking may still enjoy it. For us, it was a one-time experience.”
“What’s not to love, great food, chilled atmosphere inside and outside with the friendliest staff….and excellent value for money. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“An incredible dining experience in Nashville with phenomenal food and top-notch hospitality.
The meal started off strong with the coffee, which was absolutely amazing. Food-wise, the omelette was top tier, perfectly prepared and full of flavor, and the potatoes were a really solid side to round out the plate.
The service throughout the visit was fantastic. A huge shoutout to Jack for being extremely helpful, attentive, and making sure we were well taken care of the entire time.
Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service. Highly recommend!”

“This was such a fun restaurant! Amazing food! Seriously the best fries I've ever had (which I didn't anticipate at an Asian comfort food restaurant). We brought our toddler and they were so accepting and chill with him- so definitely family friendly! The place has a hipster, retro vibe and it would be super fun for a night out too. The menu is definitely not extensive, but as long as you are willing to try new things and step outside your comfort zone, you will not mind at all. PLUS the giant strawberry outside was a huge hit for my toddler! Fun picture spot for sure.”
“• The Vibe: Efficient. Warm. 5-Star Service. • The Miss: Alfredo was too light. (Nothing beats Nana's). • The Hit: Scallops & Risotto were perfect. • The MVP: The desserts stole the show.”
“What a great experience! First, food was so good! The sauce on the wings was delicious and I can’t stop raving about the baked beans and BANANA PUDDING!!!! But to top it off, our waitress went above and beyond. She gave us perfect recommendations and offered for us to try the banana pudding on the house because it’s that good… she was not kidding! Then gave an extra serving of baked beans to go because I was raving about them so much! We will 100% be back (regularly)!!”
“Everything was delicious! And my husband (who’s not vegan) even liked his food. It came out hot and fresh. We will definitely be back”
“We had a fantastic brunch at Liberty Common! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated brunch experience. Highly recommend Liberty Common for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience!”
“Absolutely love this place! So much effort and art goes into the food they prepare. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“My favorite burger I’ve had in Nashville and easily in my top 5 anywhere. Great service, friendly staff and a huge selection of drinks. We will definitely be back!”
“When we were first seated, we were placed in the back room away from the music, and honestly it wasn’t the experience we came for. But the moment we spoke with Derek and Nicole, everything changed. Their customer service was beyond exceptional. They listened, understood exactly what we wanted, and the management team went above and beyond to make it right by moving us to an incredible table right up front by the stage. From that moment on, the service was flawless. Constant check-ins, genuine hospitality, and tableside wine service. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. And the food? Outstanding. Every dish was executed perfectly. The cocktails were just as impressive, crafted beautifully and absolutely top tier. The atmosphere, live music, energy, and overall experience created the kind of night you hope for when booking a supper club. As a foodie from Houston, a city with one of the best food scenes in the country, I do not say this lightly: this place blew me away. Houston sets a high bar, and Twelve Thirty Club met it and then some. If you’re in Nashville, this is not just a place to eat, it’s a full experience. Five stars, top of the line, and absolutely worth every minute.”
“ate here for the first time. certainly unique for Nashville. authentic the real deal”
“Loved this place a boy named Jaylen waited on us!! We loved him!!”
“Wonderful place for family celebrations. Andrew was the most incredible server we have had in my 52 years on earth.”
“1/2 Rack, Mac and cheese, pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, cornbread- ALL UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!!! Oh and the bread pudding!!!”
“Korean is my favorite cuisine. I was delighted to find this wonderful restaurant. It's in a small strip mall, the exterior is not inviting. Ambiance inside was very comfortable, very clean. Service was professional. One thing I use to judge ethnic restaurants is how many people of that ethnicity are there. Of the several tables occupied I was the only nonasian diner, so I assume authenticity. I had seafood soft tofu stew. It was delicious. Korean restaurants typically serve banchan side dishes, this served them, each was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to experience excellent Korean dining. I'll be back!”
“The food was spectacular for this wine paired dinner. And…”the man” was in the house!”
“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!”
“A great place to have a drink and enjoy a good conversation over excellent food.
Etc. proves that a place can feel cozy and relaxed without being simple. The atmosphere is welcoming, but the food is refined, creative, and beautifully executed.
A perfect spot to slow down, have a glass of wine, and enjoy some seriously good food.”
“It was EPIC. Highly recommend!! Very authentic and the vibe is bougie and aesthetically pleasing. Staff is wonderful! 5 stars Will be back”
“My kids took me for my birthday. Walking in, the ladies at the front were very nice wishing me a happy birthday. Our waiter, Clifton, could not have been any nicer or attentive. My menu came with a Happy Birthday Anna written on it. The whole experience was really special. Everyone was just friendly and did their job over and above expectations. The food was very good. My daughter and I split a 12 oz Cowgirl ribeye which was perfect. My son got the Cowboy ribeye and he said it was amazing. The Mac n cheese was good. My DIL got the pasta primavera and she liked it. The butter cake was great and the waiter surprised me with Crème Brûlée. All very good. Great atmosphere. Definitely will be going back. Thank you for making my birthday memorable!”
“What an awesome spot to enjoy a lovely dinner. Great atmosphere, off the beaten path from Downtown Nashville, amazing food and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend!”
“The bartender tonight was amazing. I had a great chat with him, and it seems he's leaving to a new adventure soon. Not great for this place, since he has a real passion for what he does, and I think they're losing a great guy. Best of luck on your new adventures! Food was about as expected, not the drinks were phenomenal!”
“We stopped in while in Nashville. We were the first in the restaurant and were greeted by the. AMAZING staff. We didn’t have a reservation but were treated very well. We weren’t sure what we wanted to order so our server gave us some recommendations that didn’t disappoint. From the drinks to the end we were checked on frequently. Steak was like butter and cooked to perfection. Yes, the prices are high. That being said we will be returning and have recommended it to several friends as a “must try” while visiting Nashville.”
“Yes!! The hostess Beverlyn welcomes you like you’re family and is amazing. Our server was informative and great! French onion burger was wonderful!!!”
“I've never been here, but hope to soon, all bc I absolutely love watching Ricky Connelley play his music sets live on tiktok here! He's amazing and I can't wait to get to be in the crowd one day and enjoy some delicious food and drinks while listening to him! 🎶💕”
“This is such a friendly place. We stopped in to try a beer after an event in Nashville. Unfortunately my husband, unfamiliar with my hybrid, left it in battery mode in the parking lot. When we exited it was dying. Everyone was so helpful from patron to employee. Our primary Good Samaritan works here. He phoned a friend for information, then got the car open and charged our battery. I loved the beer, loved their mural and their story and now I am so grateful for their kindness. We need more people like these. We need to be people like this. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
“Had a family brunch on Sunday, overall very nice & enjoyable. Whipped Feta was amazing. I had the Lamb Biscuits & Gravy which was not that great... the lamb was good but the biscuits were stale and the fried egg on top was still raw when served.... I mean I like a good runny yoke but when the egg white is still clear, it's not cooked enough. I asked that it be put under a broiler for like 30 seconds to cook the egg white, it came back 10min later with a hard cooked egg. I would return but select something different from the menu.”
“We just left there and was so impressed.The food was great ,service was great .We will definitely be back .I love the decor.A wonderful place to take the family.”
“This continues to be my "go to" spot for dinner before an event or concert in downtown Nashville. Tapas is a great way to try lots of the menu items and share with friends. The service last night was outstanding and it wasn't as crowded as usual. you MUST try it!!”
“What a great hidden gem! It is an amazing speakeasy vibe that makes the experience feel special from the moment you walk in. Food was excellent and the cocktails were incredible! Very creative and perfectly balanced. Super friendly and attentive staff making for an all-around fantastic evening. We'll definitely be back!”
“I have brought family and friends to sixty vines a few times and really enjoy their atmosphere, food, and service! Each time I have been has been 10/10. Parking down on 5th broad and going up to the top is so quick and easy as well. The food is fresh, wine is delicious, and the atmosphere is a fun boho vibe. I have had the pleasure of having Johnathan as our server the last few times and he is so personable , fun, kind, and one of the best on broadway!! One of my favorite spots In Nashville 🍷”
“This is a 10/10 restaurant! Very accessible on a Sunday night. The food quality is pristine. I enjoyed my my NY Strip. Carey was an awesome waitress! Very great on recommendations and provided caring service. This was the highlight of my Nashville trip!”
“Great experience for our first visit! Food was delicious, rooftop has a comfy “chill” atmosphere. Staff was pleasant as well! Definitely going back!”
“We just left the Murfreesboro location and oh my. The food was delicious. The staff was so friendly. The lady at the counter was so kind to my kiddo and constantly checked on us. The cook came out and was kind as well. Everything was delicious and flavorful and tender. We will be back!”
“Loved this place! My friend who lives in Nashville took me here. The menu was awesome, loved the speak easy vibes. Great staff. My bacon old fashioned was to die for. I wish I had this place close to home! Would go again and again”
“Good vibes. Amazing staff. And the food… good grief. I haven’t had tapas so good since I was in Spain. Everything was absolutely amazing and the olive oil cake was out of this world.”
“We meet here to watch Premier League games. They have amazing food and great drinks and you can't find a better staff anywhere in town!”
“Present Tense has some of the best vibes on the block. Food was amazing, food was incredible… AND THE SERVICE was out of this world. David, Mikey, and Taylor went out of their way to make our experience incredible. David made us custom cocktails based on our preferences and he hit every mark. I will be visiting present tense on a weekly basis at this point based on the service alone (the great food and cocktails are just an added benefit).”
“While visiting family in Nashville we dined at Gunnons. This was my second visit, and I again was not disappointed. The prime rib is superb and much more than I could eat. Our table shared the eggplant olivia and I have to say that it is the best eggplant dish I have ever eaten.”
“Had a great experience for our Team dinner while in Nashville for our Matco Tools Expo”
“My sister and I treat ourselves every weekend dining out, somewhere nice. RozePony was just what we needed. We shared some appetizers, my sister loves wedge salad and this was the best one she’s ever had. The Almond risotto and the trout were so delicious we didn’t have room for dessert. So we took some to-go. Highly recommended!”

“I went to Wingstop and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The wings were perfectly prepared, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, just the way they should be. They arrived on time and piping hot, ready to enjoy without having to wait too long. The staff was very friendly and attentive, always with a good attitude and making sure everything went well. You can tell when service is given with genuine effort, and here they definitely do it that way. And I have to highlight the Spicy Korean Q flavor — a true gem. It has just the right amount of spiciness, mixed with a sweet and smoky flavor that leaves you wanting more. It feels like a perfect balance between Korean and classic American, definitely one of my favorites on the menu! Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience, both for the food and the service. I will definitely come back for more wings, especially the Spicy Korean Q 🔥🍗”
“CAME IN THE GUY ON THE STORE SIDE Cortes is the best employee Hands down at that store he is very respectful greets customers and is everywhere that's needed i have seen him work two registers to get the lines out while talking casually to each customer and then running over making food always keeps the store nice and clean honestly compared to the other workers he is the only reason my crew shops there..”
“We ate here for lunch, and a week later for dinner. Both times the food was wonderful! Perfectly seasoned and served hot and promptly. And we had enough to take home for another meal. The staff was solicitous and knowledgeable. The lunch is a real bargain. Take home and in the restaurant and both taste great! Try it.”

“I was in the Nashville location on 1/28 during my visit to the area. It was packed but everything moved quickly, efficiently and the staff was so very friendly to everyone. That didn’t stop just at the start but all throughout our time there. The lady helping us (her name was Isis, I believe) even followed back up with us on something. Her and the manager went above and beyond to take care of us on something we didn’t even ask them to. Btw, nothing happened, they were just out of something, it came back in and they took care of us. A measure most would not do but she found us and made sure to take care. Now THAT is friendly customer service! The food is so amazing, y’all. This is going to be my new joint for every single visit to Nashville from now on. Hot dayum!!”
“Tonight was our first time at Jimmy Kelly’s for our 16th Anniversary and it was excellent. The hostess wished us a happy anniversary and we were able to be seated before our reservation time. Our server, Jeff, was great! He was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Our food was 10/10. The steak was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was the perfect balance of dim and cozy, but bright enough to see around you. We will be back to Jimmy Kelly’s again.”
“This is probably one of the BEST brunch buffets I've ever had. Everything was FRESH, HOT and DELICIOUS. The selection was great and left me wanting more. The potatoes are a must and if you have room for dessert, the caramel bread pudding is HEAVENLY. Don't think twice about making your reservation - DO IT NOW!”
“This was my first time visiting Ruth Chris and I was impressed. The food was delicious! The ribeye was seasoned so well! Our server Sophie was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu items. She gave us great recommendations. She gave us awesome service and made our anniversary dinner a very special one. I will definitely be back!”
“I recently visited The Diner Nashville, a unique six-story establishment located on the corner of 3rd Avenue (around the corner from Broadway). The interior was impressively clean, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. I ordered the barbecued chicken club with fries. While the barbecued chicken club was a bit messy and didn't quite hit the mark as the best sandwich I've ever had, the fries were exceptional and definitely stood out as the highlight of the meal. The service was fast and friendly, adding to the positive experience. Prices were reasonable, and the bathrooms were well-maintained and clean. Overall, The Diner Nashville offers a decent dining experience with great service and good value for money. I would definitely consider visiting again, especially for those fantastic fries!”
“My sister, daughter, and I stumbled upon Assembling Food Hall last night before the Mumford and Sons concert at Bridgestone. We were very impressed. It was clean, spacious, and had a variety of food and drinks. It was definitely not crowded like all the bars. The prices were decent too. This will definitely be our go to spot from now on.”

“Absolutely delicious! Outside patio dining had a wonderful atmosphere for our wedding anniversary meal. The waiter brought out the wrong dish for my husband, but as soon as we brought it to their attention it was quickly corrected. Just be aware that the chili flake topping is an extra $1 & they also charge for the pickles on top of the curry bowl as well, which we thought was interesting because it was never mentioned beforehand. It was a lovely dinner. (Pictured- pork belly curry bowl & pork belly dunkers apatizer)”
“I had such a wonderful experience at Postino while visiting Nashville from out of town! My friend and I stopped in for lunch on Labor Day and grabbed seats at the bar, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our afternoon.
Molly was our bartender, and she was beyond excellent. She was incredibly warm, attentive, personable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. Great service can completely shape an experience, and Molly absolutely did that for us.
The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the hospitality was even better. I’ll definitely have Postino on my list whenever I’m back in Nashville. Huge thank you to Molly for making our visit such a memorable one!”
“Went to Mercado just to try something new and I was very impressed. It was during the afternoon so it was too hot to be outside, but the inside was great and comfortable to be in.
Food: I had the queso and chips for the appetizer. 5/5
I also had the oak-smoked brisket with the fries. 4/5 (the fries weren’t that good, but the brisket was GREAT)
The +1 had the Fajitas with rice and beans. 5/5.
The food was fresh and hot.
Service: We had the benefit of going when there was a lot going on, so our server was very attentive, professional, and friendly. The food came out quickly.
Atmosphere: Really vibrant and relaxing. Great place for an afternoon meal or dinner date for sure.
What really stole the show, was the bartender the drinks were PERFECT. It didn’t taste watered down, it was definitely a drink drink. Cheers to the bartender!
9/10 overall would recommend and tell a friend”
“No exaggeration - the best breakfast burritos I have ever had are at this location from Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef, Jamaal, during our visit and was impressed by not only the quality of food but the friendliness and customer care we received. We have tried multiple breakfast burritos as well as the burger sliders and would recommend this location to anyone & everyone. Definitely try the maple sriracha!”
“These guys are the best. The food is fantastic, but even better are the attitudes of everyone who works there. Super customer focused. Attentive. Helpful. Positive. Optimistic. Happy to be alive. Would highly recommend to anyone. Wishing them many years of success.”
