“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!”
“I for a very rare occurrence have no complaints about not only the future of but service as well. The environment is great with live jazz music. 5/5”
“Me encanta el sabor de su comida y la atención al cliente”

“Brunch and Drag show were so much fun! Our bachelorette party, loved the vibe!”
“I always enjoy coming here or brining friends when they visit. The food is great and the everyone working has always been so nice. The chef inspired foods allow your taste buds to go wild with happiness. There may be a wait on the weekends, however for the quality it is worth it.”

“We were in town for just a few days. Looked for Italian near our hotel and read great reviews of Caffe Nonna. It lived up to those. My husband and I split a salad and the Nonna lasagna and the tiramisu for dessert. It was all delicious. The two types of bread were both excellent. Would highly recommend this little gem!”
“This was my first time eating here and sure won't be my last. The food was excellent! The portions are a nice size! The food just melted in my mouth!!!”
“This has recently become one of my favorite plant based spots in Nashville after trying them at Hunters Station last weekend, then having my boyfriend go back later that night and the next day to grab us food. The fish sandwich tastes exactly like fish and the cheesy potatoes compliment it to well. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they open up on a more consistent basis but for now I’m ok with stalking their insta page to see where their going to be. 10/10”
“We visited on a night when the AC had gone out, so it was a tad warm. But the server did a great job of working through that glitch. The cocktail menu was fun and creative. The dinner menu combines classics very simply prepared over live fire with out of the box shareables, such as the corn ribs, which are a MUST. Parking is rough, but it was all quite worth the visit.”

“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!!”
“We stopped here for lunch with a small group after the Getty's Sing!2024 conference. The food (tacos, side of frijoles y platanos) was delicious, reasonably priced, and promptly served. Recommended!
Parking: It is in a busy area, but we found parking on the street nearby.”
“I highly, highly, highly recommend Wednesday's Jerk Chicken Special at Rae's Gourmet Sandwiches on Union. That is, if you enjoy involuntarily and pitifully yelping as you jump straight up out of, and pretty much fall off of, your office chair from the incredibly delicious and even more incredibly painful heat of the spices with your very first bite. The instantaneous clearing of any toxins in your body is spectacular. No worries, though, these antics go entirely unnoticed by your co-corkers who don't even hear you yelp because, while it seems to be ear splitting in your own head, the spices have actually sucked the breath out of you and it is a silent scream. Even as you walk in circular fashion around the office frantically flapping your arms like a chicken trying to whip up some semblance of a cool breeze to save yourself, you'll only come to realize that your co-workers think this behavior is normal for you. The only dismaying part of your lunch experience will be if you were stupid, like me, and only got a half order. #pahotwingsareforwussies”
“In town visiting Nashville for the weekend, and needed my weekend coffee. I ordered a lavender Matcha and it was the best latte I have ever had. Mary and Katelynn were the baristas who were very friendly, and provided great service. Will definately be recommending to everyone who comes to town, and will be visiting again!”
“Riley S. was awesome for our family birthday party. There were 11 of us...5 were children so there was a lot going on. Riley S. was beyond patient with us and prompt with our drink and food orders. She made the outing fun for all!”
“This place will be in our rotation of favorites. So good! 10/10! The ravioli sheet was excellent. All the food was really good and our server, Patrycja was so nice and gave great recommendations.”

“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.”
“Absolutely great food, great atmosphere and incredible service. Don't miss out on the experience 🌹”
“Excellent service! The beef brisket is outstanding! Atmosphere is really nice too. Above all, the employees are friendly and are on top of their game of tidying up and asking if you need anything else. 😍this place”
“We had our class reunion here this weekend. We wanted something chill, just mainly a space where we could congregate and people could come and go, but food and beer at their leisure. This place didn’t just deliver, they exceeded expectations! The management was great, we had a space, and we were so well taken care of! I can’t thank Trey and Brittany, and their staff, enough!”

“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!”
“Good quick fuel up location with a Whataburger, a large variety of snacks, with a reasonable amount of foods that are healthy alternatives to the usual amount of "Corporations-get-rich-at-the expense-of-citizen-health" foods. But that is what the general public wants so Corporations can't be solely blamed.”
“The workers can be a little rude but over all is a good business and the pizza OMG FYE ???
Vegetarian options: They offer veggie pizza
Kid-friendliness: It's a store ??♀️?? plus I have witness workers give kids candy for free so that's pretty kid friendly to me lol
Parking: Plenty of parking it have a laundromat beside it”
“Ever since my last review the crew has changed several times. I have stopped here twice within the last month. Same server both times. It's take out only. I place my order and wait in my truck. I don't know, but this server both times seemed to forget my order and serve several people who showed up after me. I've had to remind her both times I was still waiting. A light bulb goes off and she gets my food. Both times I've had to eat cold food. If you stop here during the graveyard shift you better stay on top of the server or you'll end up being bumped to the end of the line and eating cold food.”
“My brother in law took my sister and I here last weekend on Sunday afternoon and WOW, I was so pleasantly surprised. Malachi was our server, and he was absolutely ON point- With literally everything. He was polite, informative, attentive and just amazing overall. As someone who was once a server herself, I admit I’m always a little put off when servers don’t have the attention-to-detail that I think makes a great server. For me, it’s the small things like acknowledging that if a person orders their first glass of tea or water with lemon, that then would subsequently want every glass the same way. It’s small, but important, and I find myself reminding too many servers I would like lemon. But Malachi never forgot. He got it right the first time and every time thereafter. When I complimented him and he replied that he hadn’t been a server long, I honestly couldn’t believe it. This young fella GETS what customer service is all about and just ROCKED it! 👏🏼 we were so impressed. Now let’s get on to the food- The appetizers were fabulous. The fusion eggrolls were excellent and the fried pickles good, too. My Waldorf salad was big, fresh, and fantastic with quality chicken and toppings. Overall I would give our experience a 5 out of 5 ⭐️, and would highly recommend it to anyone.”

“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!”
“This is one of the best places I have been. My partner and I tried this on our spring break and fell in love with the food and the vibe and the people. The lunch set tasting menu included 4 wonderful dishes. Each better than the last. Our favorite was the beef tartar. The General Tso’s plate was also spectacular! Truly one of the best dishes I’ve had. Wonderful place! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
Dietary restrictions: They take allergies very seriously and were very kind in being accommodating!”
“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.”

“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!”
“We were in Nashville for a concert & found Little Hats online & decided to check it out because the reviews were so good. We were not disappointed at all! The customer service was phenomenal! The two beautiful ladies at the front were super friendly & helpful & very easy to talk to. The food was so good that we had to go back for more the next day to take back home to Indiana with us! The bolognese was some of the best pasta i’ve ever had! We found several things in the market area to take home & make for ourselves & the sandwiches we got for the cooler for our trek back home traveled well & were still delicious hours later. We are so glad we found Little Hats! Thank you for the awesome dining experience! 🖤”
“Celebrating our 30th Anniversary treated to a complimentary glass of Champagne. Baked Oysters were fabulous. Dinner we shared the 10oz Prime Rib & 10oz Filet; mashed potatoes, broccolini, and mushrooms- all perfectly cooked, seasoned and delicious!!! Tennessee Lemon Pie was fantastic. Jackie did a wonderful job, very professional, attentive without being intrusive and very friendly. Live music was great!!!”
“Loved this place! My friend who lives in Nashville took me here. The menu was awesome, loved the speak easy vibes. Great staff. My bacon old fashioned was to die for. I wish I had this place close to home! Would go again and again”

“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!”
“Wow wow wow! What a hidden gem! My fiancé & I had a perfect date night at Present Tense!! The food was amazing, the atmosphere is unmatched, and the service was fantastic.
We learned near the end of our dinner that one of the servers was sick, so the person who served us was actually the owner, Rick! He was phenomenal & extremely kind!
Cannot recommend this place enough! It’s a must-try!”
“My wife visited here about 6 months ago and got coffee on her way to the airport and hasn’t stopped talking about it since. We’re here for New Years and she made sure we came by. I got an iced white mocha, which is better than anyone I’ve ever had anywhere else and we also shared a Biscoff cheesecake which was absolutely incredible. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is amazing, you can’t go wrong if you come check this place out.”
“Velvet Taco has great tasting flavor combinations, But… the tortillas are cold grocery store type. I ended up just eating the inside of my tacos with chips because the tortillas reminded me of playdoh… change the tortillas to a more authentic (cooked) tortilla and it’ll be sooo much better!!”
“Honestly, wow. My compliments to the chef, and our waiter. The two different types of butter with my grilled bread showed me the quality of this place. The soup of the day was phenomenal as was our dish. There is so much more I want to try.”

“This was an amazing food and wine journey. Do yourself a favor and get the wine pairing (if you drink) as the Somm was spot on and extremely talented! The food was so creative, fun, and delicious. The environment is engaging and fun. Honestly it was better to us then The French Laundry for creativeness, approachability and environment. Everything was simply amazing while relaxed and fun. The chefs are beyond talented, chatting with you while building and keeping their rhythm on their dishes. It was a phenomenal adventure and we can’t wait to go back!”
“Hands down the best all around dinner experience in Nashville. Presentation was off the charts! This was our first time visiting, they had a “Christmas Eve” menu which looked delicious but we came with our hearts set on the steak; no questions asked the kitchen was happy to adjust, we received the best steak we have tasted yet! The staff was beyond wonderful, the atmosphere was perfect. Love love loved Yolan; this will be a must have every time we visit Nashville! Thank you Yolan for the perfect Christmas Eve experience!”
“We chose this restaurant for our small wedding reception. From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was clear this restaurant is in a league of its own. The customer service was nothing short of extraordinary—warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our experience unforgettable. Every staff member exuded professionalism, yet their approach felt personal and welcoming. The menu was a masterpiece, offering a wide variety of dishes crafted with precision and care. Every bite was a revelation, showcasing the chef’s exceptional skill. But what truly set this restaurant apart was their meticulous attention to detail. Trisha and Eli have gone above and beyond for us! We had several special requests, including dietary restrictions, and they accommodated every single one without hesitation. From adjusting portion sizes to ensuring every ingredient aligned with our preferences, their commitment to meeting our needs was impeccable. They even allowed us to bring our own cake which they sliced for us (of course, after placing in on the table and waiting for everyone to take pictures). It wasn’t just about the food—it was the entire experience. The table was set with care, and ready for us before our scheduled reservation time, the ambiance was perfectly curated, and even the timing of each course felt seamless. It’s rare to find a place that strikes this perfect balance between culinary excellence and unmatched service, but this restaurant delivers on every front. If you’re looking for a place where every detail is thoughtfully considered and every request is met with genuine care, look no further. This isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that lingers long after the last bite. Bravo!”
“Highly recommend! Great ambiance with an elevated eclectic atmosphere with a touch of femininity. Branson was our server and he did an incredible job - very knowledgeable about everything on the menu and overall kind and courteous. Our split steak came out a little under cooked for my husband (perfect for me though so we weren’t going to say anything!) but Branson immediately noticed and went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect. The brussel sprouts and tuna tartare were fantastic. We will be back soon - thank you!
Dietary restrictions: Super accommodating and intentional with their dishes!
Parking: Garage underneath, free with validation from our server”
“We celebrated our son's Vandy graduation here. It was perfect. We walked right in with no wait for our reservation. The waitress was top notch and never rushed us. After we ordered We walked around and took in the wonderful views, to include the bar area which had fabulous views of Nashville. The fry tray, instead of bread was a great change up. One of our party had a dairy allergy and received a special fry tray. Our steaks were all done wonderfully. We also ordered the Brussel sprouts- best side ever, and the fried rice and broccoli were also good. We skipped dessert, but received some carmel chocolate popcorn which was also fabulous. I don't leave many reviews, but I had to write about this wonderful experience.”
“Beautiful experience in a beautiful space. The open concept with the pristine kitchen right in the middle. Watching the chefs work to deliver unique presentations. Service was outstanding. It shows that all staff really love what they do. It is hard to describe the dishes, you just have to experience them. I’d recommend the feast.”
“Fine dining to perfection. The staff pros menu unique with wonderful options. Ambiance enhanced with wonderful singer on piano and beautiful interior. 3 of us had a variety of fish and aged steaks among the best we have had anywhere and we travel a lot. Highly recommend”
“We stopped in while in Nashville. We were the first in the restaurant and were greeted by the. AMAZING staff. We didn’t have a reservation but were treated very well. We weren’t sure what we wanted to order so our server gave us some recommendations that didn’t disappoint. From the drinks to the end we were checked on frequently. Steak was like butter and cooked to perfection. Yes, the prices are high. That being said we will be returning and have recommended it to several friends as a “must try” while visiting Nashville.”
“What a fantastic experience. Everything we had on our tasting menu was out of this world. We kept trying to pick our favorite dish of the night but ended up agreeing that everything was on the same incredibly high level of excellence.Fantastic place to go for birthdays, anniversaries, or very special occasions. We would love to go again!”
“Ruth’s Chris never disappoints! From start to finish, our dining experience was elegant, satisfying, and well worth the splurge. If you're a fan of classic steakhouses with impeccable service and consistently great food, this is the place.
We started off with a few appetizers, and they were fantastic. The stuffed mushrooms were rich and savory, and the shrimp cocktail was fresh with a great kick from the horseradish. Each dish came out hot and perfectly prepared, setting the tone for what was to come.
The steak, of course, was the star of the night. I ordered the filet, and it came out sizzling on their signature 500° plate—an experience in itself. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, with a buttery richness that melted in my mouth. Every bite was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. You really can’t go wrong with any cut on the menu.
We also ordered a bottle of red wine from their curated list, which had some excellent options. Our server was incredibly helpful in suggesting a pairing that worked well with both our steaks and our side dishes.”

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!

“Curry and Tikka is my favorite restaurant in my area. The food is so delicious, the people are super friendly and the desserts are incredible. I usually get a mango lassi, Delhiwalla Chicken Tikka, and the carrot dessert. I need to try their buffet, too. So, just saying…it’s so great and I don’t want anyone to miss out.”
“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 didn’t know what to expect, my first time trying Uzbek food ever! The naan is huge, and very different. The beef liver kebab was excellent, as well as the meatsai. I wished the rice was not dry, or was it supposed to be like that? Atmospheres was fine, I got the casual family oriented feeling. I came for dinner and the place was 3/4 full. Service was good, I just wished I asked if it came with rice or naan, instead of just order the giant naan ?”

“Fantastic meal! Love the menu. We sat outside but beautifully elegant ambience inside. About an hour or so before we walked over to eat I stopped in and got a menu and the ladies at the hostess podium were super kind. When we came back we were again met by a very helpful employee, Delilah. She sat us immediately and ended up being our server for the meal. She was thorough and knowledgeable. The service and the meal were perfect! We will absolutely be regularly returning and we will be requesting Delilah every time. Great experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone! P.S.- They do lunch from 12-3pm, happy hour (including apps) from 3-6pm. And apparently they have a rooftop (kid friendly) open on Friday & Saturday evenings until 12am.”

“If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee is the place to be. As someone who has traveled almost 80 miles to indulge in the delicious Turkish food, I can attest that Edessa Restaurant is a hidden gem that should not be missed. The restaurant's ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who welcome you with a smile. The service is prompt, and the food always arrives hot and fresh. The menu is detailed in English, making it easy to understand, and there is no confusion when it comes to choosing what to order. What makes Edessa Restaurant stand out is the presentation of their food, which is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Each dish is beautifully plated, and the flavors are expertly balanced. The cleanliness of the restaurant is also noteworthy, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic dining experience. In my recent visits, our server Hanan was exceptional. Her name in Arabic means "Tenderness with compassion and affection," and she truly lived up to her name by providing prompt and attentive service with a smile. As someone who has tried various types of cuisine from different cultures, I can confidently say that Edessa Restaurant's Turkish food and service are unmatched. I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new and unique to visit Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, TN. I give it 5 stars, and it is undoubtedly the number-one Turkish restaurant around.

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.”
“I let my server choose between fries and tots. Marley brought me the best tots I have ever had in my life!!!”
“Traveled to Nashville from Missouri. Stayed at the Courtyard Downtown Nashville. We could not decided where to eat due to many choices. We decided to stay in the hotel and go to the first floor and just eat here at the hotel. We were treated as if we were royalty. The food is world class food. Nothing can compare. The atmosphere was that of a dream. Great music. They play the best music live making it an experience not to forget. If you need to feel like a famous person from Nashville, you have to go to Gannon’s in Nashville. Cole and Matt were very professional and we can not wait to go back!”
“I have picked up food occasionally, really good and fresh. They also don’t take long at all to prepare your food! Great place!!”
“Great place! Great drinks! Amazing atmosphere & a very welcoming vibe! 10/10 recommend”
“2024: they have vegan pimento cheese toasts that are incredible! Service was good. Booze is boozy. We ordered two seasonal cocktails and two more off the menu - all were excellent. In a city where the $14 cocktail is the new normal, The Fox has become a stand out.
2018 Review: Competing in a crowded field of 'posh-lite' cocktail bars and it just doesn't have that wow factor.
Vegetarian options: Vegan pimento cheese!!”
“I love the crab 🦀 and shrimp 🍤 boil! Best I’ve eaten in 10 years! I’ve absolutely loved everything I’ve eaten there! The daiquiris are delicious! Antoine ♥️ hooked me up with a pina colada with a pretty lil pink swirl of strawberry through it! I may try the waffle 🧇 next trip!”
“We celebrated our son's Vandy graduation here. It was perfect. We walked right in with no wait for our reservation. The waitress was top notch and never rushed us. After we ordered We walked around and took in the wonderful views, to include the bar area which had fabulous views of Nashville. The fry tray, instead of bread was a great change up. One of our party had a dairy allergy and received a special fry tray. Our steaks were all done wonderfully. We also ordered the Brussel sprouts- best side ever, and the fried rice and broccoli were also good. We skipped dessert, but received some carmel chocolate popcorn which was also fabulous. I don't leave many reviews, but I had to write about this wonderful experience.”
“Great experience with the friendliest staff in town. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit. A local’s favorite for sure.”
“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!”
“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!”
“We dine at Sperry’s frequently and it never disappoints. Great food, great service, great experience.”
“First time at the new location and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambience is great and service was outstanding (Thank you Grant). We had the Frutti di Mare and Veal Saltimbocca and both were equally outstanding. Nice wine list as well. Dress business casual as most fine dining restaurants are, so best to avoid dressing overly casual (Swartz, flip-flops, tank tops, caps, etc).”
“The chicken and sausage gumbo was to die for. I will definitely be back for more if I ever pass through the area again.”
“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.”
“New place opened 2 months ago, very nice and good beer, friendly staff and their Grand opening is this Sat 8/26!! Go check it out!! 🍺🍻”
“Fantastic brunch, we opted for the tasting menu and bottomless mimosas/sangria. Everything we had was absolutely delicious, service was great, and good value for money. 10/10 would return. Just be careful...3 pitchers of sangria later you might end up with a new tattoo.”
“Great location. Not in downtown! Easy in and out. Food is always delicious! We had a terrific waitress! She was seasoned. By that, I mean her experience had some years behind it. We've never had SUCH a great waitress. She brought or offered before we ever knew we needed it. She was AMAZING!”
“Went this morning around 10:30 am on a Saturday. I knew there would be a wait. As a single diner, my wait was roughly 25 minutes. Jessica was my waitress and she was amazing. I ordered Keke's Combo which was 2 pancakes and 2 sides (you choose one item in 2 different lists). I paid an extra $3 to get my pancakes as "Banana Caramel Pecan." Also got sausage links and Home Fries for my two sides. The pancakes were huge. The $3 upgrade for the Banana Caramel Pecan was worth it. I will say that they definitely do not give near enough butter. But since I got fancy sweet pancakes, I didn't need more butter. The home fries were pan fried red skinned potatoes. They were awesome. I love potatoes prepared this way. It was also a healthy portion. There were 4 sausage links included in the order which I feel is a good portion. I feel most places only give you 2 links. My tip is if you are going with a party of 3 or more, expect a longer wait especially if you go at prime brunch times. The kitchen was still getting their rhythm so it took a little time to get the food. They just opened 8 days ago, so I totally understand that. If you get pancakes, just request the extra butter from the get go. I fully enjoyed the experience and there is so much on that menu I want to try. I will 100% be back.”
“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.”
“Great service, outstanding food. I came here for my birthday dinner with a large group for a preset menu and also with a small group and the menu choices are always fresh and different with high quality ingredients. Our favorite Italian place in Nashville!”
“Fine dining to perfection. The staff pros menu unique with wonderful options. Ambiance enhanced with wonderful singer on piano and beautiful interior. 3 of us had a variety of fish and aged steaks among the best we have had anywhere and we travel a lot. Highly recommend”
“Velvet Taco has great tasting flavor combinations, But… the tortillas are cold grocery store type. I ended up just eating the inside of my tacos with chips because the tortillas reminded me of playdoh… change the tortillas to a more authentic (cooked) tortilla and it’ll be sooo much better!!”
“What an experience. Spending time with song writers, singing and telling their stories. Amazing afternoon, good food and good company. I highly recommend.”
“We had our class reunion here this weekend. We wanted something chill, just mainly a space where we could congregate and people could come and go, but food and beer at their leisure. This place didn’t just deliver, they exceeded expectations! The management was great, we had a space, and we were so well taken care of! I can’t thank Trey and Brittany, and their staff, enough!”
“We’d worked hard and decided to try an Italian place we hadn’t tried before. We chose Salento Italia and what a good move! The service by Taylor was superb and the spaghetti with cauliflower was delish and my husband’s shrimp scampi was yummy too! Great place!!!”
“We stopped in while in Nashville. We were the first in the restaurant and were greeted by the. AMAZING staff. We didn’t have a reservation but were treated very well. We weren’t sure what we wanted to order so our server gave us some recommendations that didn’t disappoint. From the drinks to the end we were checked on frequently. Steak was like butter and cooked to perfection. Yes, the prices are high. That being said we will be returning and have recommended it to several friends as a “must try” while visiting Nashville.”
“I love Chopt, this location is almost a hidden gem!
Always receive great customer service, Miranda was amazing, and patient with all of my questions and indecisiveness. So many good choice to choose from, and I cannot wait to come back!”
“It's a small place and we had a long wait for brunch. We went across the street to Southern grist to wait it out. We loved the upon. It was like a Japanese carbonara. The egg salad took me back to 7/11 in Japan. We also enjoyed the tartare and katsu sando.”
“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.”
“Food is incredible!! Service is great! We tried the hamachi, crispy tuna, and salmon - all excellent. Salmon was our fave. We also ordered dumplings, truffle Mac n cheese and kimchi risotto. The kimchi risotto is a must try! Drinks were great too. Will be back!”
“ate here for the first time. certainly unique for Nashville. authentic the real deal”
“First time eating here and let me tell you it was fabulous!!!! 5 stars”
“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!”
“Phenomenal. At a loss for words at how good our meal was tonight.”
“Attended the Taste of the Yucatan private event here on Nov 12, 2024. This was a great intro for locals to get to know a fairly recent entry onto the 12 South scene-- and let me tell you they made a very compelling case for why they should be the Go-To neighborhood spot for area diners. Out of town foodies will love it too, but the owners really wanted to pitch local with the event. The menu for the evening featured flavors from the Yucatan peninsula, which also pull from the Caribbean apparently. The flavors on many of the plates were complex, yet some of the dishes had a home cooked vibe, like a handed-down family recipe-- made new by Chef Santibañez. Cocktails, wine, and other bar offerings were all exceptional. Overall, the food was stunning, and the entire evening was a treat. Another notable highlight was the service: having well-trained and attentive servers add to the atmosphere seems rare to find these days, but Fonda fielded a great crew for the event. Lastly, as a local, one of the more frustrating challenges in convincing my wife and I to go out in Nashville for dinner is dealing with parking, especially in areas like 12 South. Some friends who also attended were able to walk over from their home near Belmont, while we drove over from Green Hills. So a huge asset (for me) is that Fonda has their own parking right behind the restaurant! And it's validated! I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit.”
“We were in town for just a few days. Looked for Italian near our hotel and read great reviews of Caffe Nonna. It lived up to those. My husband and I split a salad and the Nonna lasagna and the tiramisu for dessert. It was all delicious. The two types of bread were both excellent. Would highly recommend this little gem!”
“Been several times and always enjoyed the music. Just a small place but get there for open mic night to see the performances, very cool. A very different experience than most other bars around Broadway, chill vibes and good.music.”
“Excellent food at Edley’s. I enjoyed the brisket sandwich and Mac n cheese. Barbecue sauce was an awesome finish.”
“Everything is great drinks the food and Eric the bartender just make sure you go to the 2nd floor to see the live band”
“We got there within 40 minutes of closing (not busy thank goodness for us). We were served quickly. We had the Detroit pizza and it was fabulous. Food was great and the service was fabulous. We are only here for two days, otherwise I would definitely go again.”
“We had a fantastic afternoon. so cool listening to original songs from fantastic talent. Highly recommend”
“Excellent food, wine and service. From our server to the guys working the kitchen, we had a blast and awesome meal at the pizza counter seats!!!”
“We were here for a conference and staying at the airport Hilton. Darfons met every need, close to us, affordable and the most amazing food. Mashed potatoes to die for and my steak was perfect as was the key lime pie. My lemon drop martini was one of the best I had.”
“we went to see the Dave Potter Trio last night while on vacation. great jazz club with incredibly awesome servers and bartenders. an absolute must stop place in Nashville, the world needs more jazz clubs like Rudys!”
“One of the absolute best little gems to hit the East Nashville scene in the last couple years. The Lao menu that changes regularly never disappoints, and for all you sommeliers out there, their wine menu is top notch. Service is beyond stellar too. This has become a regular spot for my girlfriend and I for a fancy-causal late night date night. The vibes are immaculate. Cannot recommend Bad Idea enough!”
“Fantastic service coupled with a well-executed menu!! Intimate atmosphere and delicious plates. Perfect for girls night out or a date night. Parking can be a challenge so don’t be late. The maitre’d is prompt to greet you and they ensure that your experience is flawless throughout the meal. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Delicious food and great service! My husband and I had the brisket tacos and they were delicious! Best BBQ sauce I’ve ever had!”
“Best restaurant that we ate in in Nashville. The food was amazing and the server, Kenny, was also. If in Nashville stop at Urban Grub...you will not be disappointed!”
“Worth the hype!! Everything was delicious! We arrived around 8:25 with no wait but soon after arriving they were on a wait! Also, they will not seat you until everyone is there! We ordered biscuits and gravy (no picture), Vanilla Lemon Waffles, Foraging Farmer Omlette with loaded Grits, NASHVILLE HOTTIE, ICED STRAWBERRY MATCHA, Migas Scramble, and Togo we got Churro Croissant (we also had one for an appetizer and needed one Togo, haha) Twice Baked Almond, Chocolate Babka Croissant, Lil Deborah and their dog treats for our baby in the car waiting!! Cute fire place also!!”

The service was amazing my server was Miki, I also think she is the owner, she was just amazing and so nice to me and my family. Also, this place was really clean. I give this place my full recommendation. 20/10”
“I would recommend this food service to all that I meet. I was pleasantly surprised. I receive big meaty fish pieces and generous portions of my side dishes. It was enough for me to make 2 meals out of my order. The beautiful lady was so nice, and we even wished each other a Happy Mother's Day. I came from Opry Mills Mall to Edd Temple Blvd and I'm happy I made the trip. I will be back.”
“EVERY time I come here (which is quite often) The food is out of this world!!! This time, I got Daddy's calzone. First of all the crust, is amazing not too hard not too soft perfectly crunchy. And the inside the vegetables are perfectly cooked the flavor is amazing! This is the best calzone I've ever had in my entire life! Sorry about the photo I couldnt wait to eat”

“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!!”

“**Absolutely incredible experience at SupperClub on Belcourt!** From the moment we arrived, the service was next-level. My friends and I didn’t have a reservation and were just hoping to escape the rain. One of the owners, *Mr. Joe Johnson*, happened to be pulling up as we walked up, and he was so kind and welcoming, he let us come inside even though they technically weren’t open for dinner yet. About 10 minutes later, the hostess asked if we had a reservation (we didn’t), and explained they were fully booked. We totally understood and started to head out, but as we were walking out, Mr. Johnson saw us again and was like, *“Where y’all going?”* When we told him the situation, he said *“Naw, I got y’all, come on.”* He gave us a private dining room with just the four of us, and treated us like royalty. That kind of hospitality is rare these days and I truly appreciated it. Not to mention the vibe was also on point! Our server *William* was amazing, attentive, knowledgeable, and just all-around cool. Now the food? **Phenomenal.** We had: * Lamb chops * Filet mignon * Lasagna * Spinach dip * Drop Kickin’ Shrimp * Catfish * Caesar salad * Loaded mashed potatoes And I had a drink called *Angel’s Envy*—so smooth, so good. By far one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. SupperClub has earned a customer for life!!!”
“Corra on the rooftop was an incredible experience! I had heard rave reviews about this bar and had eagerly awaited my visit since it opened. My time there was truly elevated by the excellent service. The drinks were exceptional, and the food was delicious. I can't wait to return, especially to see the fantastic staff! If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check out Corra on the rooftop—you won't regret it!”

I cannot thank Julianne Schrieber and Mike Lee enough for what they did for us! Kobie was phenomenal too! The staff really elevated the experience! The venue is beautiful too! The NADC Burger was out of this world! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Whole experience, 11/10!”
