50 Best Southern Restaurants near Antioch

“Good service at S side of Nashville Tennessee 🥘 cake, drinks ,“

“This restaurant is the true meaning of southern hospitality. Great food and their corn pudding is wonderful. It's truly a blessing to have such a wonderful place here in Nashville!“

“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.“

“We had a great time at this acclaimed restaurant, with an eclectic menu, such as the glazed pigs ears in lettuce wraps. The former residence has multiple rooms, on two levels, and our one regret is that we sat in a room with about ten tables, and the hard-scape decor meant that the noise level was just below the decibel level of bars on Broadway Stu’s neon district.“

“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!!“

“Came for Stolen Faces on my birthday 11/11. The bartenders were AWESOME, super nice. Band was KILLER too!! We had the catfish and it was absolutely delicious. Catfish, Grits and collard greens were way above what we expected. Love this place!!“

“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!“

“By far one of the best brunch spots around. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. I love when I can find Poutine on a menu and it did not disappoint! Will have to find time during the week to check out their full menu which I’m sure will be just as good.“

“Awesome place awesome food and music. We come occasionally to see my daughter’s favorite boys Jesse and Noah Bellamy“

“Our visit to Tupelo Honey in Franklin, TN, was a genuine pleasure. The friendly hostess greeted us warmly, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. The food was exceptional—the Chicken & Waffles featured moist waffles and crispy chicken, while the Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Cream of Tomato Soup was a comforting classic. The Banana Pudding provided a sweet finish to our meal. With an inviting atmosphere and reasonable prices, Tupelo Honey has definitely earned a spot on our "must-return" list!“

“Great hot chicken sandwich!“

“Real southern comfort food!“

“Cute little restaurant. Food was decent. Nothing to call home to mom about. The bonuts are pretty good. Definitely recommend those. Southern Bennie’s were good but nothing spectacular. I tried the pumpkin spice love latte and I can honestly say it’s not bad but I have had better. How they give you water is for the birds. They have a large water canister that you have to get the water out yourself and it’s warm. No ice. Cups are like what you get at the water tank at work. Lemonade was ok. I would consider it again. Service wasn’t bad just not a fan of how it was done. Not a typical set up. You order like you would at McDonald’s and sit down basically.“

“Everything i was hoping for and more. What a wonderful dive place for breakfast. Excellent biscuits. Flavorful and flaky. My medium eggs cooked perfectly served with hashbrowns and salty crisp bacon.
Wife, had the breakfast bowl. Sausage, hashbrowns, biscuit, and Eggs in a bowl covered with gravy. Outstanding.
Saw a thing that said they were famous for chili. So we ordered chili cheese fries too. Breakfast of champions, right? Chili was good, but I probably wouldn't order it again. I'd get more biscuits and gravy!“

“🌟 Just had the most incredible experience with Kitchen Notes in Nashville! 🍳 Their signature hot sauce stole my heart, but when airport security took my bottles ( oops I forgot too many oz), I messaged them hoping to buy more. They not only sent me four bottles for free but also won my loyalty forever! Thank you, Kitchen Notes, for the exceptional service and a lifetime fan in me! 🌶️❤️ Plus their food was amazing and fresh. The service was over the top amazing!! #CustomerForLife #AmazingService #KitchenNotesMagic ✨“

“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.“

“We love the casual yet upscale atmosphere at Thistle & Rye. Our party of 6 sat inside as it was 8 million degrees outside. We shared lots of apps, we all had the cod sandwich. The cocktails were fun, our eats delish! Our server, Samantha was patient and gracious as we were definitely “extra”then a larger group settled in at the next table. They were hilarious, needless to say Sam had her hands full and by all accounts handled everything perfectly! Thank you, our evening was great fun!“

“love the atmosphere and food! 😉“

“My favorite bar in Nash! 5’s across the board. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere come together to make this place the best hangout spot for every occasion. Sidecar & The Clubhouse are such fun additions, and provide something for everyone whether that be comedy, karaoke, lawn games or just watching sports with good company. The chicken bites are our favorite! Impossible to be unhappy at Sonny’s“

“I let my server choose between fries and tots. Marley brought me the best tots I have ever had in my life!!!“

“Good morning An Adventist prophecy announces a terrible calamity for Nashville before a worldwide Sunday law or mark of the beast (Luke 21:11 and Luke 21:25-26). Documentary Web Several independent Adventist ministries announce that for the world Sunday law (Revelation 13:15-17) there is very little left, the prophecy of (Daniel 11:40) is being fulfilled, with the current Russia, China-Taiwan war; according to prophecy communism has to fall before the papacy rules the world in the United Nations (Revelation 17:18) as the world leader of peace and security (1 Thessalonians 5: 3) shortly after a great crisis in the world and Sunday is established as a solution to the climate crisis, a universal day to give rest to the earth, workers and families, however before these great changes, a great crisis has to occur, there are only a few months left for this to happen, please get out of Nashville. From Chile, Chillan“

“Very good salads with different choices. They also have soups, sandwiches and sweet treats.

All very good!

We had three scoops of salads which I forget the name of it where we had the Cranberry Kelli, the Fancy Nancy, and another one.

We also had a piece of the white chocolate layered cake, but this dessert did not impress me to be honest.

Very good food, nice place which I am looking forward to checking when I’m back home in Texas.

“We dined at Mere Bulles yesterday afternoon for lunch. The food was excellent but more important - the atmosphere is welcoming and the people there are compassionate. Highly recommend.“

“The drinks were amazing! The menu is unique and lots of yummy options. The hush puppies w/ lump crab! Who knew?“

“When there's a line, I join! I waited about 10 minutes and was seated. While waiting, locals and tourists raved about the place and made recommendations. I ordered the East Nasty and a coffee. It was good but I wasn't floored by it.

Other than that, great service and atmosphere.“

“I highly recommend if you are traveling for work to pop in here and eat at the bar!! Super friendly amazing bartender Gina was fab! Food was really good and I enjoyed my meal so much! Great dessert menu too!“

“Had a great experience for our Team dinner while in Nashville for our Matco Tools Expo“

“I made a reservation for a party of 10 for 12:30 p.m. There was no hostess and the only person around was the bartender. I made her aware of the reservation because she had no idea. We didn't get seated till 12:50. We waited to be served and there was no server so she had to Be our waitress. She was great but clearly there was no notice to her or other staff that we were coming or had a reservation.“

“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.“

“We had a much needed date night after a long week away and I’ve really been wanting to try Butcher & Bee in East Nashville. Absolutely a new favorite. Flavors are not for the faint of heart and you’ve got to be willing to explore but their approach to Mediterranean fare was amazing tonight. We did the Chef’s Choice sampling menu tonight and it was SO GOOD. You had to tell your taste buds to sit down and wait their turn while the others spoke for a moment. Whipped feta was more than your traditional approach with a very strong Mediterranean flair. Spicy goat sausage plus the hummus on veggies and the crispy chickpeas tasted great. Then a taste of salads and apps including grilled watermelon and a squash salad that was ridiculous! The falafels were flavorful and not just tahini covered. Then came the goat ribs covered in coffee…so rich and so good. Then some dessert of Ecuadorian chocolate covered mousse with pistachios. All of the sauces had levels upon levels of flavor. I can definitely see where this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if your taste buds get bored and you need some outside-of-the-box flavors and foods, this should hit your list. Tons of families were there enjoying themselves, it had a very cool, laid back vibe and our server Amanda just topped it all off.“

“We loved it! Bison burger for the win! 3 visits to the restaurant in 3 days! Staff, and food are great! We highly recommend stopping in and giving it a try! You won’t be disappointed!“

“I had the shrimp and chorizo Benedict. It was delicious! I was disappointed in the hash browns. Personally I like them crispy, but these were mush served on the plate with an ice cream scoop.
The place was cute and clean. It did feel a bit rustic. It was a bit pricey as well. Will we come back? Absolutely!“

“Sometimes people lean on the opinion that hotel restaurants aren't the best choices for a trip to city, but those people would miss out in this case...

Marsh House is in the Thompson Hotel in The Gulch neighborhood in Nashville, and their brunch was incredible. Eli was our bartender, and he made our experience even better than the delicious food that was served. Perfect, fun service. Thanks, Eli! Fun environment with some hotel guests, party folks, and couples at the bar. The dining room looked very nice, although we sat in the bar area. The wife had the Medieval Barber for a drink and loved it. We got the salmon tartar as an appetizer, and it was delicious, along with a fantastic presentation. Wife got the shrimp and grits, and I got one of the better omelettes that I have ever had (I added ham to the cheese-y-ness magic). Hope you go there, and hope Eli is your tender. The Gulch is also a cool wander as you digest the awesome meal you just had. Dining room looked classy too. Definitely recommend, and see you there...“
