50 Best American Restaurants near Hermitage

“Mackenzie is a phenomenal server! So personable and attentive! We sat on the patio on Saturday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with the help of her!“

“Great breakfast fresh food“

“First time dining in and the food was delicious 🥰“

“We went in Wednesday night without knowing it was Senior Night. It was crowded and honestly maybe understaffed, but that allowed us to witness a 16 year old running the front like a champ. J was a rock star (juvenile so I won’t add her name). The entire team was great. Good food, clean space. Everything was spot on. Visited 8/5/2026 @ 5:58PM“

“My family is large and we needed a place that could accommodate our family for lunch after an unexpected family funeral. We did call ahead and when we start arriving, the manager, Kenneth & his staff quickly got us a space cleaned up and he was nice and accommodating to our elderly family members. Our waitress that looked after our section was Nicole. She was amazing! She went over and beyond to make sure we had drinks refilled and to see if we needed anything. Most of all she had patience and checked on us with a pleasant attitude. Of course, the buffet had a variety of food to fit everyone's appetites. We really appreciate the service our family received from Kenneth, Nicole, & a few other staff members. And I hope Nicole gets a staff shout out if nothing else, lol!“

“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!“

“amazing food and staff! The brunch is top tier“

“Stephanie, was absolutely amazing! Her personality, beautiful tattoos and her customer service truly made our day. She knew the menu well, gave great suggestions (especially the corned beef hash), and went out of her way to help accommodate my pescatarian wife on our first visit. She made us feel so welcome, and we genuinely appreciated her kindness and attention. We’ll definitely be back, and when we do, we only want Stephanie!“

“Love the vibe of Dino’s. The best late night dive bar for sure. Get the Snap-O-Razzo hot dog - it’s a hidden secret how good it is!! ;) Grab a burger, couple beers, a couple hot dogs, and head up to the top outdoor seating patio area to chill. We come by whenever we’re in the area or drive over late night when nothing by us is open. Or end our night here. Highly recommend Dino’s- it’s simply an institution!!“

“This is my go to place when dinner is the question. I love, love the food here.“

“Came to Nashville on vacation. The food downtown wasn't doing it for my wife and I so we decided to venture out for breakfast. This place looks like it been here for a long time. The food was amazing, well priced with nice portions. You can't overlook this place. Locals came in and they were greeted with love and they already knew the order.
This is a place that you don't see anymore.
The French toast was the best I've had. I don't care for it either.
Must come, local or visitor.“

“Wooooow!!! I am a very picky wing eater. I went on fb and read some reviews and had to check this place out. They did not disappoint!!!! Every flavor we tried was finger licking good! I finally found my wing spot!! Oh and I ordered through uber eats and they were still so crispy when they got to me. Now I have to go in person!!!’“

“Haven't been there in yrs, many yrs. Was in Nashville in 1995 and point this place out. Turned out to be our go to point every nite will there.great southern hospitality for a couple from up north. Last nite we were there my ball cap from my business was pin to the ceiling over our table and was given an uncle buds cap. 30+ yrs would love to stop in an see if all those caps still hang from the rafter as they did many yrs. That was such Kool thing. First time having catfish and the other great grub. Hope to come visits. Gave it a 5⭐+ and still would. Glad to see place still going strong.“

“Manila our waiter for table 30 was was fantastic,friendly and very attentive. Thank you Nabil you were awesome. Ramy our bartender made an awesome margarita. Definitely recommend the General Jackson and will revisit again very soon. Thanks again“

“We went somewhere else for breakfast this morning and regretted it! If we get breakfast it's almost always either Red Rooster or Waffle House. Never going anywhere else again! The Roo has never disappointed. They're quick, delicious, very fairly priced! The servers are on top of it! I even had a rough morning getting my 4 year old in the door and a server opened her arms and he jumped right in them, giving her a big hug. Totally changed his mood around. We love Red Rooster. 🥰“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing“

“Dined here for the first time on my birthday this past Thursday. Met up with friends and y’all let us hang out and chat as long as we wanted. Food was amazing!! You MUST try the chicken tortilla soup!! The tilapia, ALSO AMAZING!! Love the cozy environment as it reminds me of my small town restaurants back home. We will be back every time we are in Nashville!“

“We ordered the mixed burrito, the double smash burger with everything, 8 piece wings (honey hot and lemon pepper) and a gyro plate.

mixed burrito- Giffin's review: I would have enjoyed it more because I didn't know that cilantro was in it. (but that was my fault for not asking) the rice was delicious and all the flavors worked really well together. So big I couldn't finish it all. 8/10

smash burger - Lewis' review: cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion. AMAZING and satisfying. Fries were hot and crispy. I would drive out of my way to get this again. Thank goodness I live near by. 18M/10

Chicken wings - My review: hot honey and lemon pepper. They were a bit on the small side, but MAN they are delicious!!! I got the dry lemon pepper seasoning, but Mr. Wiz was trying to convince me to get the sauce. I'm gonna do that next time. :0) I will surely order these again! 10/10

Gyro Pate - My review: warm, flavorful, and comforting. Rice was nice and fluffy, gyro was tender, salad was very fresh. 9/10

Mr. Wiz is a delightful person. It seems like he never meets a stranger. He took great care of us and we will be back again, not only to order more tasty food, but to see our new friend again, Mr. Wiz.“

“A great local quick eat place. Love it!“

“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 were in town with family for a funeral. We had reservations for 6 adults. We all ordered off the happy hour menu and the regular menu, food and drinks. Everything was great! Our server took care of everything without hovering. He asked if we were celebrating and when we told him we were in town for a celebration of life of a family member he brought us a dessert to share. We were not rushed, even when the restaurant filled up. It was an extremely nice experience. I hope to be able to return. Probably a good idea to make reservations especially for a weekend evening.“

“Its not possible to overstate how AMAZING their food is for taste, quality, quantity and price! Truly one of the best we’ve had in ages!“

“Great food and a great vibe. Really enjoyed our lunch!“

“I met 5 friends for brunch this morning. Food was great and our server was outstanding.“

“My family and I enjoyed a great lunch today! The food was delicious and the menu is large with many choices. My husband got the catfish and said it was delicious and the hush puppies were the best he has ever eaten! My son got a full rack of ribs and they fell off the bone! I had the smash burger and it was great, we can’t wait to go back and try the BBQ!“

“Gary and staff are amazing and the views are unbeatable!“

“Chef Rae is amazing! She came out and personally asked us what we wanted to eat. She took our order and made us Blackened Salmon with a Jalapeño corn salsa over corn puree. We also ordered the most delicious Brussels Sprouts with goat cheese. Bacon and a drizzle of honey! We finished off our dinner with a banana pudding that was top notch! It was so unique with candied pecans on top!!
I would give our anniversary dinner a solid 10/10.
Chef Rae is the sweetest person you will meet!! We will definitely eat here again when our travels brings us back to Nashville!!“

“Please! Please! bring Jamesia back to the bar area for the Hendersonville location! She is the best server and we miss her.“

My boyfriend and I love Friday nights with live music from David. If you’re looking for fun and good food with a great atmosphere, check this place out! 100% recommend.“

“I stopped by last night after seeing the new Thor. The lady at the window was by far one of the nicest drive thru attendant. I said to the gentleman that brought my food out, to tell his manager that I said she was one of the friendliest night shift workers I've ever came across. Bless her heart for working with all teenagers. 🥰“
