“This spot right here might be the biggest gem. Idk if it’s a hidden gem, cause I’m not from Nashville but the food here is absolutely 🔥 💯“

“Stopped in for dinner and got a double bacon jam burger that was outstanding. Fresh ground beef in house with buns baked in house as well. Really a good burger cooked perfectly. Fresh cut fries were incredibly good as well. Washed everything down with a Sam Adams summer ale. This is a no cash restaurant which is annoying but the food being so good helps with that aggravation. Food and service are excellent just don't like putting a burger on my credit card.“

“Grill shack burgers and fries have the best staff, food and such a great environment! Awesome fries that are fresh, fun for lunch or dinner. My brother Drew works there and you will love him!! Definitely stop in!“

“We had a 15 month old and a 5 year old as well as 3 adults. Nat, Colton and Carneshia were so Great to work so hard to get us seated. The food was awesome and the service was top of the line. So folks go see Big Bad Breakfast Nashville ?????“

“Food was great. Shannon was a great waitress.“

“Great burgers! Every bite was amazing, well seasoned and juicy🤤🤤“

“From the street, it looks a little run down. I was hesitant at first, but I pulled up to the drive through window and placed my order. The people working there were kind and attentive. The food though! Delicious! Definitely an excellent alternative to the more traditional fast food spots.“

“This was the best burger I’ve ever had! We will definitely be back!!!!! The food was fresh and delicious 😋“

“Friday night after a few drinks late night at some local bars and not wanting to drive far from our hotel, we ordered from here and LOVEDDDD it. Pizza was hot, fresh ingredients & we ate every single slice. To top it off they graciously added a 2 liter of sprite to our order that we didn't even order & let us use their restroom. That following Sat we decided to try something different on the menu & we still were more than happy. The small calzone was HUGE and full of ingredients but not too much. The cheesesteak hoagie was a great portion too. 4 people ate just those 2 things and we all we FULL! And again we were offered a free soda. We now all have this placed saved for our return to Nashville“

“I went to Emmy Squared in Germantown with a couple of friends on the later side on Thursday night. They were unfortunately very clearly understaffed so it took some time for us to get a table despite there only being a couple of tables with patrons. They were very kind about it and we didn't mind the wait. Once we got our table, service was great and very helpful. Our waiter walked us through the menu and gave us recommendations on what to order. We ended up getting the Zia Fries and the Roni Supreme pizza. They both came out hot and in a good amount of time. It was plenty of food for the three of us to share! Parking can be a little bit tricky in Germantown so just be aware of that. If you can get lucky and are okay with walking a bit, it can be possible to get free street parking throughout the neighborhoods. Otherwise there are paid parking garages and lots around the area as well.“

“10/10 would drive to Nashville for this. I was in town visiting the bestie. We ended up here on a lark after she said "let's go here, I know this place." Funny servers, exceptional, exceptional food. OMG the special sauce. It was so good I got a burger and fries to go for later in the evening. Highly recommend the burger with Sriracha onions, bacon and blue cheese and the one with Guinness mushrooms and bacon. Both the regular and sweet potato fries are YUM! Did I mention that special sauce? Go here. Just do it. Now. Why are you still here? Delicious burgers are waiting. Get.“

“Best catfish i’ve ever had and Al is very welcoming and proud of his business! We will be back for sure!!“

“Best BREAKFAST. 😮‍💨 mandatory stop before work.“

“What a great place! I have been to this place five times already within two weeks. I ran in this place by accident and I didn’t even know it existed and my server. Liz is freaking awesome. Come out and see her and also they have happy hour 3 to 7.“

“5 STARS for everything, AMAZING food, great people, great service!!! The Salmon, the Angus Burgers!!!“

“Amazing! We need one in Cookeville!“

“One of the better live music venues and bars in the Broadway area. Most bars can't balance the sound well, this one was loud but thankfully without the shrill that most others have due to poor sound balancing. The dueling pianos in the basement are a nice hidden touch. Drinks are 20% more expensive here than the other bars.“

“This is my favorite fast food hamburger. It tastes like something that you would cook at home and they put a lot care into the preparation. The fries really stand out because they are made fresh instead of using frozen. The chicken sandwich is my favorite thing on the menu. It is a fried chicken breast on a bun. The breading is delicious and somehow they manage to keep the chicken from drying out.“

“We have eaten at several Shake Shacks but this one is by far the best! The food was hot and fresh. Our burgers were juicy and made exactly as we ordered them. I love that they have gluten free buns that actually taste good.The fries were crispy and delicious. The service was excellent. The cashier made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us later in the meal. 10 out of 10. We live closer to the one in Franklin TN but we will always drive the extra miles to go to this location.“

“Best Burger I’ve eaten in a very long time!! The Burger was so good our table ordered some chicken wings to try & those were killer too! 5 ⭐️“

“Drive up is your only option, very friendly family, takes a bit to get your food, but it's all fresh made eject you order it! Nothing pre-made, no frozen hamburgers etc.... you have to wait for them to cook what you ordered! So if you don't want to wait, don't go here!! There is a little bit of spiciness to the burgers, which personally I could do without, but it's tolerable... very good over all“

“Great casual place to get a pint (or three). They have an amazing selection of beers and all of them are brewed by Yazoo. Didn't try the on site food vendor, but there is a food available if you're looking for a bite. Would recommend for a drink with a friend or a large group.“

“Nashville wedding weekend. Craving a burger and Big Jimmy’s reviews caught my eye. Local joint with live music and great burgers! Staff were great. They have local Driskin ciders- perfect with the burger!! Def stop by when in Nashville!! We’ll be back!“

“WOW. Food fantastic. Each order for me equals two if not all three meals for the day.However, the 6 am commute suggests an earlier business opportunity. Trial period perhaps“

“Excellent cheeseburger and fresh cut fries. Will definitely return.“

“Good burger, just wish they had better choice to customize.“

“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.“

“Great food awesome drinks! Music out of this world! Stephanie Williams best bartender Nashville!!!“

“Mr. Burger? More Like Mr. Wings!

I’ve been to Mr. Burger several times, and the experience is always great. In my opinion, they have the best hot wings in Nashville—crispy, flavorful, properly sauced, and actually hot without tasting like someone emptied a bottle of pepper spray into the fryer.

The seasoned crinkle-cut fries are easily one of the best things on the menu. Honestly, I could order a basket of those by themselves and leave perfectly happy. The chicken cheesesteak is also delicious, filling, and even better with extra meat when you’re feeling ambitious—or simply skipped lunch.

The burgers are solid, but the wings are the real stars. At this point, they might want to consider changing the name to Mr. Wings Featuring Burgers.

And don’t let the neighborhood scare you away. They aren’t open after dark, so grab your wings, fries, and cheesesteak while the sun is shining. It is absolutely worth the trip! Oh yes, i suggest ordering online then picking a window to drive up to.“

“This was our first time at Bar Louie. Nice bar. Lots of seating. Had a nice atmosphere tonight. Unfortunately the hostess was unfriendly, she sat us at a booth that wasn’t wiped down which she should have noticed. She was more interested in her cell phone than doing a good job. Lazy young lady. There was a single woman bartender tonight, she was really slow in making our drinks. We received our dinner before our drinks were brought to our table. It wasn’t that busy. When my husband asked her where the restrooms were, she said as she shrugged her shoulders as to point to her right, there over there, keep walking. Rude with an attitude. The salad that was brought out with our dinner was wilted like it had been sitting in a refrigerator for hours. Our waiter was very nice, but he should have noticed this and ask the cook to make a new one. He did bring it to the kitchen manager and she delivered a freshly made salad to our table. On a good note, The chicken entree with a mushroom sauce and fresh vegetables was very delicious. Overall we like the place. Give it a try. Drinks were good, food was delicious.“

“Shy was a fantastic server. She was polite and anticipated our needs. The special requests were met with a smile and everything was perfect. Ralph, the GM, asked how our experience was. He was a very nice guy and eager to help. Food was great as well. Great experience.“

“Awesome atmosphere. We loved watching the Michigan football game.“
