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!“

“Amazing food, crew was friendly. Kinda wish I lived in Nashville so I could eat here more often.“

“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!“

“We got to the area around 12:30 on a Saturday and found street parking one block away right away.

The restaurant was not too busy yet. Service was reasonable. Not as great as some reviews mentioned but not bad either.

Some dishes were amazing and others were just ok. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to friends.

Recommended dishes:
Radiatori Vodka - Very flavorful paste.
Potato Croquettes - Perfectly cooked and an amazing combination of flavors.
Jaramisu (Tiramisu in a jar) - Well made with good ingredients.

Dishes I would not get again:
Seafood Fra Diavolo - favor was just ok and it was very salty.
Meatballs al Forno - it just did not stand out for how much it cost.“

“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!“

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

“This place is its own vibe, my homie that lives up there took us here to try and it was quite the experience. Chili cheese fries to die for, Gabby's burger was the bomb, the selection of sauces was great. All around top burger joint I've had in a long time“

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

“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!“

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

“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!!“

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

“The food and the service are top notch. There are all kinds of protein options, and all the food I've had here was tasty. The fish tacos are my favorite. They are a popular lunch restaurant, so be prepared to wait in line at lunch, and seating can be limited.“

“What a great experience! First, food was so good! The sauce on the wings was delicious and I can’t stop raving about the baked beans and BANANA PUDDING!!!! But to top it off, our waitress went above and beyond. She gave us perfect recommendations and offered for us to try the banana pudding on the house because it’s that good… she was not kidding! Then gave an extra serving of baked beans to go because I was raving about them so much! We will 100% be back (regularly)!!“

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

“Today was the first I’ve even heard about this. I was leary about it at first with the parking being terrible. But my wife really wanted to try it. So valet we went. The young man that parked my Jeep was so nice and professional. But back to the restaurant. I was 100% impressed with just a burger that we are looking forward to coming back and having a real dinner. Hands down worth the time and energy. Bartenders were great, servers were polite and who I think was a manager was very attentive. Thank you all for today.“

“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!“

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

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

“Will never go to nashville again without stopping here! This is the best burger I have ever ate! Dim, cozy lighting. 80’s tunes playing in the background. It was truly like stepping back in time. We went on a thursday night, food came out so fast. I will say not really a spot for socializing and meeting people though. Definitely a great time nonetheless.“

“Super impressed with JamBox Sandwich shop! We placed a call in pickup order, and it was ready when we arrived. The ratio of meat to bread was excellent, and the meats were top notch. Overall, much better than Subway or Jimmy John’s.“

“Everything was delicious! And my husband (who’s not vegan) even liked his food. It came out hot and fresh. We will definitely be back“

“We ate at King Tut’s for the first time yesterday. It was absolutely delicious. We don’t live in Nashville but will definately eat there again when we are in town!“

“We had a fantastic brunch at Liberty Common! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated brunch experience. Highly recommend Liberty Common for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience!“

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

“That blueberry Cream what can t say - Delicious and Great“

“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!!“

“Omg the food was truly amazing I had the Randy Travis burger and it was amazing…. Love the 80s/90s vibe brought back so many memories growing up… highly recommend if your in the area“

“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!🤤🤤🤤🤤😁“

“I have a severe alpha gal allergy and can’t have any mammal products and worry a lot about surprise ingredients and cross contamination. Previous to getting sick I ate there often and loved the hospitality, polite staff and amazing pizza. Today I went and expressed my desire to still have there pizza and ask for accommodation. They assured me they would wash everything and prevent cross contamination. They treated me with kindness and respect and made me feel very assured. I was excited to see they offered anchovies and that is a protein I can eat and really enjoyed it. These guys are great. Long story short 10/10. Please eat here“

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

“Good place for a date night and good vibes“

“We were a party of 8 and we tried one of EVERYTHING!!! Usually, I don’t leave reviews. Usually, I have something I eat that I don’t like. However, in this restaurant - everything was GREAT!!! We were very happy with food, the service, and the atmosphere!! We will be back for sure!!!“

“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.“

“It was EPIC. Highly recommend!! Very authentic and the vibe is bougie and aesthetically pleasing. Staff is wonderful! 5 stars Will be back“

“Delicious food! That Greek quesadilla was amazing!“

“The people are friendly and the food was really good. I'll definitely be coming back here.“

“We had breakfast at Biscuit Love. We ordered a Biscuit and Gravy and an Egg Benedict with Ham. The biscuits were flaky and the gravy was delicious with sausage bits. But this place is a little expensive. Only a biscuit and gravy cost over $10 and the portion was kinda small. Tried for one time was good enough for us.“

“Ordered on DoorDash because there was a deal. One of the best Poke bowl places I have had in Nashville! So many ingredients to add and they were a fresh and flavorful. I don’t prefer raw fish so I can’t speak for that but the chicken and lobster were great. Loved the sauce choices as a well. Only complaint would be the price. They are a little bit on the higher end for poke for how much food you get.“

“Delicious and worth every penny!!“

“Food was great, staff was very friendly.“

“Terrance did a fantastic job serving us breakfast this morning. Great food, great atmosphere, all around great experience. Highly recommend!“

“The food was spectacular for this wine paired dinner. And…”the man” was in the house!“

“I've never been here, but hope to soon, all bc I absolutely love watching Ricky Connelley play his music sets live on tiktok here! He's amazing and I can't wait to get to be in the crowd one day and enjoy some delicious food and drinks while listening to him! 🎶💕“

“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!“

“Delicious, filling breakfast bowl! Large portions, excellent flavors. Highly recommend. Wish I was staying longer to try the Reuben!“

“Food is always great and Noelle is so friendly! Loved talking to her about Italy and busiate pasta!“

“Love this place for a laid-back night out with friends. The patio vibe is amazing, especially when the weather is nice. We grabbed pizza from the inside shop while we were there—the hot honey pizza is an absolute must-try. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cool, casual spot to grab a drink and hang out in East.

When we were there on a Tuesday, it was even still a little packed, but did not have to wait for a table. On the weekends, there might be a longer wait! It's first come first serve (seat yourself) style on the patio.“

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

“Food is amazing. The tortillas are homemade, the tacos are to die for, the potatoes are cooked perfectly. I love their dirty horchata and honestly all of their coffee drinks. The staff members are friendly and helpful. The food comes out fast. You really couldn’t ask for more.“
