50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Hermitage

“Love this place, the staff and their coffee! Unfortunately their wait times are often very long and only have one barista working both windows at the Lebanon location. Many times I (and others) have to leave the line as I can't wait 30min plus during my lunch break.“

“Great ppl! Amazing coffee!“

“Highly yes! We love the food and the owners, are so sweet! The food is always fresh and amazing. We always stop when in the area. If you love gyro plates and the best tasting rice. This is the place for you!“

“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.

“We ate at King Tut’s for the first time yesterday. It was absolutely delicious. We don’t live in Nashville but will definately eat there again when we are in town!“

“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!!“

“Good place for a date night and good vibes“

“That blueberry Cream what can t say - Delicious and Great“

“Super impressed with JamBox Sandwich shop! We placed a call in pickup order, and it was ready when we arrived. The ratio of meat to bread was excellent, and the meats were top notch. Overall, much better than Subway or Jimmy John’s.“

“Fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommend“

“Super tasty bacon egg and cheese breakfast taco. It’s approx 5 inch x 1.5 inch and cost $4. One was enough for me but a dude would want 2. The drip coffee was quite respectable, not burned in the slightest and they have real cream. Didn’t need any sugar.

I’ve begrudgingly embraced being called a foodie and coffee snob so I’m always pleased to find small local places doing great food/coffee.

Plenty of seating and chill vibes too.“

“The people are friendly and the food was really good. I'll definitely be coming back here.“

“A beautiful cocktail bar with great food too! Service was great!“

“As if the White Chocolate Vanilla Frappe wasn't enough, the atmosphere is pretty awesome and actually reminds me of my days in Seattle. A plethora of choices await you from the drinks to the pastries and the entrees, which I'm looking forward to trying. To top it all off, Keith is about as mellow and nice a person as can be, which makes going there an even more pleasurable experience. Take the time to get out to Donelson and find this gem, you will NOT regret it.“

“Such an authentic and unique spot. There always seems to be something going on, which gives the place a really lively feel. The garden is large and one of the best parts, especially when the weather is nice. Great atmosphere, relaxed crowd, and just an enjoyable place to spend a few hours“

“This was our choice for lunch on a recent trip to the Nashville area. I'm glad we tried it!

This restaurant is inside a medium-sized grocery store. We didn't explore the grocery that much but it seemed like it had a nice balance of dry food goods, refrigerated items, and small objects, mostly either for cooking or the occasional gift. It was clean inside and being a grocery store had a good bit of parking outside.

The restaurant is on the far right as you enter. We were greeted warmly and told to seat ourselves. Menus were delivered promptly.

I ordered a Thai tea to drink. Hubs got the fried shrimp appetizer and we both chose noodles for lunch; he opted for pad see ew and I got drunken noodles.

The restaurant was fairly busy but despite the crowdedness it still felt easy to have conversation with each other. Our food came out quickly but had clearly been cooked fresh.

The Thai tea was the one thing that didn't hit at all. It had a very intense flavor that I couldn't quite place compared to all the other Thai teas I've had. Could just be this one is more traditional, lol. But it wasn't quite as sweet as I'm used to and it almost had a subtly salty vibe; I wouldn't get it again.

That said, the cooked food items were quite good. The breading on the shrimp was incredibly crispy and even I liked them well enough at first; the flavor was light and the texture not rubbery. We did ultimately realize these shrimp had not been deveined, which is not our preference but I understand it's not a requirement to be able to eat them.

The noodle dishes really shone, though. Hubs liked his pad see ew and we both thought my drunken noodles were even better. Lots of tender but still-crisp veggies in both. Strong and pleasantly aromatic basil flavor in mine. Large portion sizes. The noodles were cooked well and were pleasantly chewy. Mine was lightly spicy but nothing intense; I wound up adding more chili oil from the small container on the table.

Service was a highlight throughout; the women working were very personable, got us to-go boxes, and were attentive to any other needs we had.

Lots of menu choices here and fresh food prepared quickly. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area.“

“Stopped in for some food off the lake met Papa Turney and everything was great! Nice folks and Great food!“

“After dreaming of visiting I was finally in the area. Holy moly, I don't know when I've tasted such yummy treats, and they are GF! The lemon blueberry muffin and the pecan upside down cake are to die for. I can't wait to be back in the area!“

“I've stopped twice at the Donelson, TN location now. Staff are nice, inside is very nice and clean, food is really good.“

“Delicious, filling breakfast bowl! Large portions, excellent flavors. Highly recommend. Wish I was staying longer to try the Reuben!“

“First time there. It’s in my neighborhoo in East Nashville. I just moved here . It reminded me of my favorite “dive bar” in my old neighborhood in Los Angeles . BOGO for happy hour . Fun nite ! Will definitely go again ! 🥃“

“What can I say to express my satisfaction. 5 stars is not enough. I don’t live around here, and while in town, came for a small morning snack. I don’t like cream cheese unless it’s on a plain bagel (not toasted) and it can only be Philadelphia brand. Weird, I know, but that’s just how it is for me.
They make their cream cheese in house so I thought I’d give it a try.
And let me tell you the experience I had was ✨incredible✨
I tried a small bite first.

The realization: Wasn’t bad… was actually good! First thought was there wasn’t a single thing bad about it. I added more on my bagel.

The acceptance: With every bite, I tasted another reason why this was the best cream cheese I had ever had (coming from a person who doesn’t like cream cheese). First it melts in your mouth like whipped butter on a roll, then it graces your tastebuds like a flower blesses your sense of smell and gives this delicate but well rounded premium cream cheese flavor.

The second realization: Before I could even get through a few bites I was overcome with the fact that this cream cheese was the answer to my original dislike of the food. I was falling in love. But as I mentioned, I don’t live anywhere near here. When I tell you, tears started welling up in my eyes that this was likely the last time I would get to eat this creamy miracle. I was straight up CRYING IN MY CAR. Full streams now and I couldn’t stop laughing at myself for getting so emotional over food.
I’ve never gotten emotional over food like this before. Maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones, but I like to believe that this bagel place just knows that to make good food, you have to start with high quality ingredients. Oof that sounds like a corporate slogan. *cringe* But I can’t think of better words to describe what’s going on in there when they make their food. Anyways….

TLDR: get the cream cheese. I laughed, I cried, I wish I lived next to this place so I could get fat off their from-scratch bagels. 10/10 would recommend.“

“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!“

“We really loved Southern Grist when we first found it. Great craft beers and a great food menu, but as of late, the food menu disappoints. Anyone can do burgers and beers. Bring back the chicken sandwich, bao buns and vinegar potatoes. Your menu made you unique now you’re just like everyone else.“

“Great pizza good environment very fun“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Love listening to live music here when the weather is nice. Sometimes you will need to go inside to order your food. The 3 dip nachos was a great snack. My only wish is that the queso dip was thicker. I prefer it when you dip a chip there is at least an 1/8th inch cling.“

“The best pizza that i've had since being in tennessee, better than places. I've been to in san francisco. Absolutely delicious pizza. The little shacootery board thing, it wasn't worth the money, but it was good. But the pizza's worth every penny.“

“Always fresh amazing food! Obsessed with the Rocket Fuel smoothie 🤎“

“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)“

“Vibin atmosphere definitely a cool place to chill. Have some drinks. Good food. There’s a DJ plays great music and everyone’s super chill and friendly. I highly recommend checking it out.“
