50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Nashville

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

“My daughter and I just stopped in while traveling for a concert! Food was better than expected and much more than just a sammich! These foodies were not disappointed! I had the mamba number 5 and added the pepper jelly. The atmosphere was fun and light hearted and took me right back to the 80’s/90’s!“

“Great hot chicken sandwich!“

“We had their breakfast & IT WAS AMAZING. The pancakes were hands down the best I have ever had. The staff were so nice as well. We will be back!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“I thoroughly enjoyed my steak burrito. The steak itself didn't stand out that much but did contribute. The tacqueria salsa and Mexican rice was great. I got the chipotle tortilla - I'm not sure if I actually noticed any difference versus a regular tortilla, but I'd get it again since I enjoyed the burrito as a whole. Chips and salsa were good too - salsa bar is nice.

The line was out the door and around the corner of the building - despite liking the food I doubt I'd come back for dinner again for this reason. Hopefully lunch is better.“

“The best dining experience I’ve ever had. The chef’s choice was an awesome choice! Everything that came out was delicious. Our servers were wonderful especially our waitress who had us sign her Nancy Drew book. That added to the experience! Can’t wait to go back!“

“The Greenhouse Bar was such a cool experience! It’s literally an actual greenhouse, which made for such a unique and relaxing atmosphere. Surrounded by plants and greenery, it was the perfect spot to unwind. The drinks were fantastic, and the whole vibe made it feel like an escape from the ordinary. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Nashville looking for something fun, unique, and full of great drinks!“

“We had a lovely experience at Pelatos. Our entire party was gluten free. Although the gluten feee menu was limited, each course absolutely delicious and enjoyable. We had multiple servers with Danny taking lead - each equally attentive. Make your reservation - you won't regret it!“

“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!“

“To try and find something negative about this place is insane. So here goes. \n\nMaybe the burgers are too juicy. Whatever. They are perfect. \n\nMaybe they need more parking and a larger location. Nope. Don’t ruin a great thing.\n\nOk. Here is the only real negative. They absolutely should be open for longer hours to allow more people to enjoy these burgers. Oh. My. Goodness.\n\nThe burgers are perfectly cooked and paired with fries. They also offer shakes but unless you packed your appetite and put in your Thanksgiving sweat pants, you probably won’t get that far. Seriously. Try this place out and send thank you notes to me.“

“The burger is the most amazing burger I have every had!“

“Great bbq had the wings with hot bbq and buffalo hot and some pulled pork was delicious. Cornbread was on the dry side but the beans and slaw made up for that great flavor“

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

“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!🤤🤤🤤🤤😁“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“I've stopped twice at the Donelson, TN location now. Staff are nice, inside is very nice and clean, food is really good.“

“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!“

“Stopped by on our way through town and it was a nice breakfast. We ordered an everything and a blueberry both with vegan schmear and toppings - the vegan sausage was surprisingly delicious. The sea salt on top of the everything was a nice touch and the blueberry was excellent. The upcharge for non-dairy milk is to be expected but $1 felt a bit much. Good food though and if we're ever in Nashville again we'll probably stop back in. Not giving 5 stars just because environment was a bit strange - the back of house staff seemed to be having a fun time in the kitchen but the front of house seemed cold.“

“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!!“

“A beautiful cocktail bar with great food too! Service was great!“

“A great place to sit for a treat after dinner. Decor is hip, clean and spacious and it smells like a cookie factory. Fresh baked cookies and brownies served with ice cream in a variety of ways. We got fast friendly service and the brownies were heavenly. Yes its just a sweet dessert but skillfully made so it doesnt just taste like a glob of sugar. One of our favorite dessert spots“

“It was my first time eating Poke! I have to say, Beverly was amazing at walking me through all the different combinations and assured me that the salmon was great to eat raw. I went with yozu ponzu salmon. It was out of this world! I will definitely be coming back once I’m in town again. The garlic spam was also incredible. It was a bit pricy I think but otherwise everything was great.“

“this place is great. staff is friendly. food and drinks great. it is out of the way but worth it. Great absolutely great.“

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

“Food was great, staff was very friendly.“

“Urban cowboys public house is truly one of the best bars in Nashville. I always have fantastic cocktails and a great time while I’m here. My favorite is going when it’s a little bit chilly out, ordering some pizza and sitting by one of their fire pits. They crowd is always so great, even when the line gets really long for drinks. If you’re a local, you don’t want to miss out on this place.“

“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!“

“This is the one place I can safely eat with allergies and feel like Nashville is still the home I’ve loved for forty six years. They keep it real from menu to vibe. I moved to Gallatin but will make the trip for Vegelicious. The best soul food, vegan or otherwise!“

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

“Oh my !!!! I would fly to Nashville just for these donuts! The "Vanilla Creme" as pictured on the page is 100 layers of pure decadence! 🤍🩷🤍“

“I've stopped twice at the Donelson, TN location now. Staff are nice, inside is very nice and clean, food is really good.“

“Crusty joyburger(smashburger) is very flavorful. It’s an affordable lunch spot.“

“The best sambusa ever I love it“

“1/2 Rack, Mac and cheese, pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, cornbread- ALL UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!!! Oh and the bread pudding!!!“

“I'm a New Yorker in Nashville. In this Neopolitan wood fired era, this is different. It takes time, but usually good things do.

And like a good New Yorker, I picked this ezzo pepperoni slice up to eat it. That is a skill, from me and the chef.“

“we went to this restraunt during my husband's work party last night and it was amazing! the drinks were made so fast! they were made very well, you can tell that the bar tender really takes the drinks seriously in the best way! :) their very social and kind, they were super calm even through everyone getting their and getting drinks prepped and sent out, then the food was a solid 9/10! for me personally I'm a picky person but i loved just about everything, the servers and host were also very kind I wish I had gotten all their names to reccomend! the bar tenders name was Christian and he was truly wonderful at his job, my favorite was the creme Brule dessert, it was sweet and smooth and crunchy and perfect, I truly reccomend this place for a calm or social event where your able to truly relax in a wonderful little place ❤️ also the alcohol selection was really nicely selected i had tried the spicy sangria, pomegranate margarita, polar pear & blackberry something, they were also so good about telling the ingredients and what they like about the drinks makes it an easier selection, or they have bourbon for those who love a strong smooth drink“

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

“Amazing food and service!“

“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.“
