28 Best Southern Restaurants near Hermitage

“Had a party of 12 today, Christmas eve, and we had a fabulous experience! Our server was Manana and she was great!“

“Just your average Golden Corral. Decent food all around. The staff is great. We had a larger party of about 18. They accommodated nicely, but just call in about an hour before you go. Also, you can reserve the party room in advanced. I thought it was first come first serve.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Upon walking in the door, I was welcomed by a very sweet lady. I ordered the catfish, the meal came with white beans, cole slaw, hush puppies and really good homemade tarter sauce. I had read the reviews so I knew I needed to save room for a fried pie. So I boxed up half of my meal and now back to that fried pie, I ordered the coconut!!! It had chocolate drizzle and a dusting of powdered sugar with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Wow, it was so good!!! Everything was fresh and really good. I will definitely be going back!!! Check them out, you definitely be glad you did!!! Great Service and Great Food!!!“

“Great food and service at a fair price!“

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

“Great friendly place with cool owner. Been there a long, long, long time. Food is good and a nice bargain for the money.“

“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.“

“Great place! Great drinks! Amazing atmosphere & a very welcoming vibe! 10/10 recommend“

“Spent a week in Nashville. Ate at some great restaurants, even the very expensive Jack Daniels restaurant in Opryland hotel. This place topped them all. Very reasonably priced. Steak was the best I had all week. Wish I had found it earlier I. The week. A definite Re-Do nextime.“

“Place was virtually empty, but we waited 20mins before chasing - and only then receiving service. The food was well worth it! Some of our order was missing, things came at the wrong time and once more, we waited forever. The food was superb and abundant and we will definitely return, with the strong hope staff issues will have been sorted by then.“

“Nice little diner full of southern hospitality & southern eats!“

Sh showed amazing poise, initiative, humility, willingness and care as it relates to my overall AMAZING dining experience. The food was good...the staff was welcoming...my server Kindre was blatantly superlative!“

“I tried their peach cobbler at an event tonight. This was the best darn peach cobbler I have ever experienced. I will be coming to dine in the restaurant. So good I had to leave a review from just a couple bites of a sample!!“

“How did I forget about this place??? AMAZING Fish sandwich(very fresh & huge) & Chicken on the stick(juicy). Their MILD HOTTER than Princes & Hattie Bs, definitely coming here more often. 😋🔥“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing“

“My only complaint is that there’s not a closer location relative to where I live in Nashville. I love this concept and they surely did not disappoint. It was a very friendly, clean establishment and the chicken salad is absolutely excellent. I went with the melt with the “southern” style chicken salad, which was basically with eggs and sweet pickles. Yum. I can’t wait to make the hike again for their pimento cheese!“

“So good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
