“Great place when in the area“

“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.“

“Wow oh wow!!! I have not had pizza this delish since I was about 5. The flavor just set my mouth to craving more! Crispy crust and amazing mix of ingredients! I tried the Good Paulie and a Skinny Margarita! Mmm mmm good! Gonna bring my besties down to try it out!! Oh and did I say what fabulous hospitality the staff presented? From walking in the door all thru the meal!! Simply the best!!“

“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 ?????“

“We had a fabulous meal and experience. We were traveling through Nashville to Murfreesboro and asked ChatGPT where a good place to stop would be for dinner not far off our path and this was one of 5 suggestions. It did not disappoint!!! We highly recommend!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Our favorite burger place in Bellevue! Dependably good smash burgers. I love their buffalo sauce and always get some to dip my fries in. If you have a chance to get their Raspberry Beret burger special during burger week, DO IT! Georgia Caprese is my second favorite. Love you Cledis! 🫶“

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

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

“If you’re looking for a real street burger in a sea of chains, this is where you go. 8th has the juicy mid-thick smash patties and keep the fry baskets cookin’ hot. This is consistently a good burger, especially after a run.

Only qualm is that the tomatoes aren’t the ripest in my experience, but even that’s consistent, and the double mo burger is so flavorful that you’ll only notice if you look for it. But also, why are you lookin’ for that at a drive-up burger joint in the first place?“

“We were in town for vacation and stopped for lunch on a Friday. The crowd was great and so was the music. Our lunch was good and so were our drinks. It was however, a bit pricey. But everything is expensive in downtown Nashville. Our service was a bit slow but that wouldn't stop me from coming back. The rooftop was a fun place to hang out with our kids after lunch and have a drink and listen to music.“

“Any place named Shake Shack gotta be good but dang it no need to go and put on airs over it. Fast friendly service. Employees being all concerned about you having good experience. Want you to feel welcome and stuff. Y'all trying to corner the Shake Market.? And don't gets me started on that outstanding food situation.......“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing! We need one in Cookeville!“

“The wings are my absolute favorite, and I’ve been here multiple times just for them. The staff is always professional, friendly, and consistently does a great job. The food is high quality, flavorful, and always worth the visit.

I truly hope they are able to expand in the future and move to a larger location so they can stay open longer and include weekend hours. They have a great business, and their food deserves to reach even more people.“

“No exaggeration - the best breakfast burritos I have ever had are at this location from Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef, Jamaal, during our visit and was impressed by not only the quality of food but the friendliness and customer care we received. We have tried multiple breakfast burritos as well as the burger sliders and would recommend this location to anyone & everyone. Definitely try the maple sriracha!“

“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“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 ⭐️“

“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.“
