Parking: tons of parking

“I went to 7Brew today and they gave me a drink with cream that was curdled. I came to my usual dutch bros just to buy a different drink, and they asked about my 7brew drink i was throwing away. They gave me a free drink and a cute little drink float for a pool! They were so kind and caring and now they have a customer for life!“

“Came to Nashville to see family. So glad we came here for lunch. The service and ambiance were amazing. Everyone was so polite and easy to talk to. Sat outside and ate on the deck. It was warm outside but they kept the area cool. My daughter loved the coffee selections. My wife had the hashbrown casserole and said it was the best she ever had. My “meltdown” was simply made and delicious. This will be a spot we will come back to EVERY time we come to Nashville!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Nashville—food and vibes are so good!! Shoutout to Ari for being the best waitress ever!“

“Great hot chicken sandwich!“

“Such a friendly fun space. Helpful menu assistance - owner came out to chat with us! This fresh and unique approach to sandwiches and salads! YUMMO💜 PLEASE CONSIDER COMING TO MARYVILLE!!!“

“This cafe is the best in town. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Mary and Tasha are so great; they truly make the experience a fabulous one! I will definitely go out of my way to get coffee there again. Don’t waste your time and money with other coffee shops!“

“Really, really good food and beer! Awesome clean spot!!“

“Live music with great food, drinks, & service!“

“Avo in Nashville is a must-visit! The cheese platter is absolutely incredible—perfectly curated and packed with flavor. It’s definitely a must-do when you’re there. The pesto penne primavera was amazing, with fresh, vibrant flavors that really stood out. And don’t miss out on the avocado margarita—it’s a unique and delicious twist on a classic cocktail that you’ll want to try! The vibe is laid-back yet trendy, and the food and drinks are top-notch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vegan food and a fun experience!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great!“

“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!!“

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

“I don't have enough time in the day to express how great this place is! The food is perfect, environment is a vibe, and service is TOP NOTCH! Every. single. time.

What really makes every visit amazing, is the employees! When you walk in, you're greeted with the best atmosphere. I can go on and on but I'm sure you get the gist by now! 10/10!

TITAN UP! (Go Steelers!)“

“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. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!“

“Such good food at good prices. Staff was amazing, so friendly and quick. If you’re in Nashville looking for a good dinner that won’t make you completely broke, come here!“

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

“Had the ribs and collards yesterday evening , both were outstanding. Highly enjoyed“

“Great service and a very delicious Lebanese food!!!“

“incredible place, staff and management“

“Food was incredible as well as the cocktails. Hostess was very kind but as soon as our server got to us it was very apparent she did not want to be at work. Felt uninviting during our entire dinner and never once came to check on us after receiving our order. Instead, she stayed on her phone and chatted with other servers. More than likely just a bad apple but hopefully the rest of the servers have a better attitude.“

“Great experience with the friendliest staff in town. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit. A local’s favorite for sure.“

“This place is fabulous! The waitstaff, Matthew was very attentive. The food was ahhhmazing!!!“

“Absolutely delicious! We couldn’t believe the place wasn’t packed!“

“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.“

“A nice place, very quiet, it gave me anti-social vibes because everyone was so quiet. This was actually great which created a calm setting.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, but not exactly tailored to children.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“We stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and were thrilled they had 2 for 1 beers! I love the vibe, the scenery, the drafts, and the bartender was very nice & helpful. Also big compliments to whoever takes care of the plants! I've never seen so many live plants thriving like that!“

“I can not emphasize enough that this is THE BEST VEGAN ICE CREAM ever to have come into existence. Words fail me here, so rich, the best mouth feel and a wonderful variety of flavors. I came from Michigan to Nashville with my partner and this was the highlight of the trip for me!🤤🤤🤤🤤😁“

“If you haven’t had their version of a Crunchwrap you are missing out. And the sandwiches? Fuhgeddaboudit 👌🏻“

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

“Good vibes. Amazing staff. And the food… good grief. I haven’t had tapas so good since I was in Spain. Everything was absolutely amazing and the olive oil cake was out of this world.“

“Absolutely wonderful!!! Food was amazing, the Ruben was soooo good. Clean, fresh friendly staff. 10 out of 10“

“I've been from Tacoma to Tokyo and these are some of the best pastries I've ever had in my life. 5 STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Big Al is the type of friendly that makes you go back to a place regardless of how good the food is. But the food alone makes you come back. Overall it is great little restaurant that I would recommend highly to anyone that is in Nashville.“

“Absolutely, hands down, the best fish and chips I have ever had. Everything is obviously made from scratch (even the tartar sauce). My wife loved it and she isn’t even much of a fish person. Put this place on your list of restaurants to try!“

“We stopped by Tempo Nashville on Nolensville Pike for breakfast/brunch and left super impressed! The food was absolutely delicious — we tried the bean and cheese quesadillas, the steak and egg tacos, and a few bites of everything because it was that good.

If you’re low-carb or have dietary restrictions, they’re super flexible — you can skip the tortillas and still get a generous, satisfying portion. Love that kind of service!

🌱 One thing that really stood out to me was how eco-friendly the place is. The plates, cutlery, even the vibe — all very sustainable and conscious. Wooden silverware, biodegradable everything. Small touches, big impact. 👏

🍴 Now for the honest part: we do NOT recommend the chips and queso. Definitely skip that one. But everything else? Chef’s kiss.

I brought my two kids — 8 and 13 — and they both enjoyed their meals (and that’s saying something). It’s casual, friendly, and quick, but still feels cool and local. We’re giving the food five stars, but the atmosphere lands at a strong four — cute and clean, but a little basic inside. Still, the staff was kind, and we’ll 100% be back.

Whether you’re hunting for breakfast tacos, brunch near Nolensville Pike, or just want good food with an eco-conscious twist, Tempo is worth the stop. ✅“

“Love this place! The food is great, the owners and employees are helpful and super nice. Plus they carry Wynk THC seltzers on the menu which is icing on the cake for me!“

“Tonite our family celebrated my daughter’s 50th birthday at Jolly Ollie’s. We had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent, the pizza parlor vibe was fun, and the service was outstanding. Thank you Sydney for taking excellent care of us. We appreciate you!🍕“

“Amazing food and service!“

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

“Baja Burrito is a beloved local gem, and it seems like the only place that hasn’t hiked prices up due to inflation. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in town and has been for the last 18+ years. They have delicious & fresh build-your-own tacos, burritos, taco salads, etc. It’s usually pretty busy, but they are always quick down the line! They also have several overflow parking lots beside and behind the restaurants. I will always recommend Baja to someone looking for good Mexican food!

Parking: You can park next door at The Wreath Stand, behind the building in a few marked spots, and behind + across the street is another additional lot!“

“We ordered a meat lovers pizza & Ziti with meat sauce. Everything here is homemade and the owner is so generous and kind. My daughter loves pasta and fell in love at the first bite. The garlic knots were tasty and had the perfect amount of garlic on them. The pizza by itself was amazing and tasted delicious by itself. We normally put pepper flakes on our pizza but this pizza needed none. The food speaks for itself! Thank you for the amazing service and food.“

“First: I’m extremely picky about my lattes. I am sensitive to overcooked (burnt taste) beans and undercooked (sour taste) beans. I have gone here repeatedly for iced lattes and they have always provided the perfect texture and balance. They are by far (and I don’t say this lightly) providing the BEST espresso in Nashville. Second: What truly makes this cafe great is that it’s the only cafe in town that makes you feel like you’re wanted. All of these cafes built in the last 20 years are hard, cold and sterile. If you’re younger than 40, you probably don’t even remember that cafes used to be warm, social, inviting and a home for many people. New cafes are so uninviting and I feel it’s done on purpose to get you to leave so more customers come in. But the Daily Grind? It’s homey, has couches, the walls are filled with all sorts of crafty love and plants and there’s a poster on the front that lets you know this is a SAFE space for all. It’s reminiscent of the old days when you had warm social spaces where you could spend hours every day with friends playing games, drawing, talking and no one glued to their phones. I hope this cafe gets to expand and provide even more of this nostalgic homey feel and bring that needed community experience back to Nashville. Third: GREAT food and customer service on top of all of the above“

“During our stay in Nashville we wanted a good place to eat that was not part of Broadway. Our condo was in East Nashville and we thought we would try something local to that area...and boy are we glad we did!!! This is cute little gem and everything was excellent, food, service, parking and hospitality. If I lived in the area it would be place that I would frequent often!!!

Parking: Plenty, we had no problem“

“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.“

“Their GlutenFree Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcake is to die for!! Their GlutenFree Focaccia bread is delicious!“

“Great burgers and the mayo with caramelized onions was amazing!! Highly recommend it if you come to Nashville!“

“The service was fantastic. The food was so delicious. We had a variety of food and not one thing disappointed. It is hard to go any where that every bite is delicious but that is what happened here.If you get a chance you should check it out.“

“Miller was our waiter. We had not dined there previously. There were four of us. We opted for the “ grub experience”. ( I think is what it was called). Miller chose a family style meal for the four of us to share. It was beyond fantastic. This topped Off a week of some fine dining and it surpassed all. We cannot wait to dine in again. Miller was absolutely outstanding in his skill and service.“

“Read about this restaurant on Eater Nashville, so had high expectations. It mostly lived up to it. The Focaccia crust pizza is fantastic, especially topped with burratta. However, the fennel salad was a little bland and grilled dates ok. The restaurant was cozy and excellent service.“
