20 Best American Restaurants in Brentwood

“I came to Firebirds with my family today to celebrate my birthday and everything was excellent. Our server was outstanding and very attentive. He never let us go without anything. The food came out hot and fast and was delicious. This will continue to be a spot we frequent!“

“We visited at the height of the breakfast/brunch rush, but were seated relatively quickly and efficiently. We were in town for our son's graduation from Lipscomb University, so we were feeling very celebratory! Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes. We even got some of the delicious pastries to go! Oh yes, and three in our family have celiac disease and they were able to enjoy gluten-free meals as well!“

“Enjoyed our meal. The avocado/bacon burger was delicious. I’d definitely recommend this place.“

“We have dinner at this establishment at least twice monthly. Exceptionally clean, excellent service, and food that is highly tasty and consistent! The ambience is unbelievable, truly one of a kind! The French dip is my favorite in all of Nashville, with excellent taste, and quality. The whitefish, blackened is to die for! Everything we’ve eaten, and every visit has been nothing, shy of exceptional, so glad to have them in our grand town. We’ve traveled the entire US and most of Europe, and this is one of our very favorite restaurants!“

“Delicious food and friendly service!“

“I recently visited The Bistro located inside the Courtyard Nashville Brentwood, and it was a delightful experience. The food was great, especially the burger, and the service was friendly and attentive. The menu offers a variety of popular items like chicken quesadillas and refreshing salads, making it a perfect spot for both a late-night meal and an early breakfast. They are open until 10 PM, which is convenient, and the prices are very affordable.

While it can get busy at times, with sometimes only one person working, they always maintain a friendly attitude and ensure the quality of the food and service remains high. This dedication to customer satisfaction makes The Bistro a great place to dine if you're staying at the hotel for a quick meal on busy trips.“

“Great experience! Very kind hostesses and waitress, willing to answer questions and were more than accommodating to my family and I. The food was BANGING, complements to the kitchen! I couldn't get over how nice the price was, and the variety of the menu! I can't see myself going anywhere else and paying $10-15 more per entrée/drink for what I would deem the same/lesser quality. Absolutely wonderful experience all around, and will certainly be back. Thanks again to the great waitress!“

“Stephanie was a very nice and attentive waitress! Great food as usual!“

“First time enjoying Judge Bean’s barbecue! I had the smoked meatloaf and green beans. Talk about amazing food! And from the time I walked in the door to grab my food, I was greeted with big smiles and friendly faces.🥰 I will definitely be back!“

“Their Food is sooo good!!“

“One of the friendliest staff and excellent service! The food and drinks are amazing as well! I would highly recommend 10/10!“

“Friendly staff, and clean! Host seemed
unbothered. 10min wait time for a party of 9 @ 1pm on a saturday.
Lunch sirloin salad was way over cooked. Ordered med-rare, recieved med-well. When offered to re-cook, I declined. Salad was good but French onion soup was perfect. 30 minute meal service time.
Tip 25%.
I have been in hospitality for 2 decades. Attitude out weighs majority of any issues. Server maintained calm, positive, professional and personalable service. She did outstanding!! Wait time and food quality has nothing to do with server.
Ambiance was balanced.
Amazing family time and because of our server, she made our experience so much better.“

“New to TN and first time at Dickey's BBQ Pit in Brentwood. Had excellent service today (6/18/25). Staff was friendly and helpful and food was very tasty. We'll be back when we're in the area.“

“Family owned & they do a great job! Excellent service“

“Food was excellent. Great cocktails. Genevieve provided us with an excellent experience Thanks“

“Took my daughter for a girls brunch & the food was AMAZING! We enjoyed shrimp & grits, fritters donut (kitchen added sprinkles to my daughters for her bday) fried green tomatoes & the banana French toast. Musician was amazing, my 4 year old was up dancing with him the entire time. Definite 10/10 experience!“

“Man I wish I took a picture of my plate! This is my second time I have eaten at brown bag. First of all, I am crazy happy to support such a great cause! But Morceau, their food is killer! Easily the very best lunch and all of Franklin it is so fresh and the food is all perfectly cooked. And for those who care, I also like that, they do have nutrition facts on their website, which makes it helpful to choose Wise foods on certain days. I will be back multiple times.“

“Always good food 🥘 breakfast is always they was very friendly“

“I picked up a half boneless ham and added a carrot cake! Shout out to the extremely friendly staff!“

“One thing thanks for the night at the hotel and food I really loved the food and room was fabulous to me.I'm happy thanks for the wonderful room. Someone did a great thing for me. I do appreciate it. Only wish i had two nights because one night ws good but i just couldnt sleep i was so spoiled i had both tubes going and took a shower four timesand watched some good movies. Just wish i could have had concierge service. And the awesome breakfast.

Kid-friendliness: Its just a good family hotel to come through the metro here south Nashville and even a great area for just walking on weekends. Be safe good views

Parking: Can't say much they seem to keep it up to date allthough it might need just redone recycled new lines and more outside care signage etc

Wheelchair accessibility: Nothing to much looks like it has good entrances and options.“
