50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Nashville

“Great neighborhood spot. Excellent food and even better people.“

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

“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.“

“Burros, Quesadillas, Elote; all delicious!“

“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!“

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

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

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

“Great hot chicken sandwich!“

“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!“

“Never been here, but given how professionally they have responded to the stupidity that Elle Boss posted, I’d say the review bombing isn’t warranted. I realize this isn’t representative of the business as a whole and look forward to checking you guys out if we’re ever out that way“

“We had Jaida as our server and she was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer all of our questions as well as suggested other fun activities to do in the area. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was excellent. All around this is a great place to visit and eat.“

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

“What a Great Location, Great food, Service! My only complaint...is the blonde hostess at the door. I've been in several times and I have yet to see her Smile. Acts very disconnected when she is seat patrons. ALWAYS! The disappointing part, is management doesn't catch on....or, they don't care.“

“Great food! Awesome service and give the avocado margarita a try!“

“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!!“

“I don't have enough time in the day to express how great this place is! The food is perfect, environment is a vibe, and service is TOP NOTCH! Every. single. time.

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!

TITAN UP! (Go Steelers!)“

“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.“

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

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

“SC Hot chicken tacos are one of the best HC dishes in town. It’s been one of my favorites for many years now. Everything else on the menu looks just as good, but those tacos win every time. So much so that I’d drive an hour from Fairview to get some. New location in Smyrna looks great, tastes great, and is close to my office. Maybe I’ll finally start trying the rest of the menu!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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've been from Tacoma to Tokyo and these are some of the best pastries I've ever had in my life. 5 STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The staff are awesome, the bagel sandwiches will blow your mind. Tons of different options to choose from, both bagels and schmears. They have different local options for drinks and a full coffee bar. There's also a little basket near the bathrooms for kids books and activities. We'll definitely be back and recommend this place for years to come.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“During our stay in Nashville we wanted a good place to eat that was not part of Broadway. Our condo was in East Nashville and we thought we would try something local to that area...and boy are we glad we did!!! This is cute little gem and everything was excellent, food, service, parking and hospitality. If I lived in the area it would be place that I would frequent often!!!

Parking: Plenty, we had no problem“

“Atmosphere…chill. Food…delish. Check it out!“

“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.“

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

“Super cute atmosphere and yummy food!“

“Had to write a review, visiting Nashville stopped in for Ice Cream was served by a lovely lady Taylor, very helpful and super friendly. Largest scoop in history, great ice cream. Thanks Taylor, you’re the best.“

“Food was great service was awesome“

“Fantastic spot for cocktails! The bartenders are super friendly and knowledgeable! If it is on the menu try the Clarified Milk Punch or Spares No Expense! Absolutely fantastic!
Also for food order the olive plate, as it goes really well with these drink's!

If you do get to visit ask Sam for a drink!

Kid-friendliness: Yes! We saw a few families!“

“Best sushi in Nashville! Tell em Mic Manik sent you!!!“

“Good drinks, good music, and amazing food choices.“

“Absolutely to die for coffee. I ordered a peppermint matcha with oat milk and a Butter Bear to go and it’s by far the best coffee and matcha I’ve had in Nashville if not beyond ✨ Not to mention their dope merch.

“I met 5 friends for brunch this morning. Food was great and our server was outstanding.“

“ANNIKA S was such a sweet server! She treated us as if we were her only table and did a great job explaining different menu options.“

“Proper Bagel is the BEST bagel shop around! I have never seen so many freshly made cream cheeses to select from; my daughter and I are obsessed with the iced chai tea latte (it literally tastes like pumpkin pie); you’ll probably see a line, but don’t let that deter you! Their system works - line goes through quickly! It’s a must go-to!“

“Sushi is always fresh. Great service.“

“Fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommend“

“Incredible food and probably the best service I’ve ever had. We stopped by on a trip from out of town and I already can’t wait to go back.“

“Ryan’s the man. Very professional and personable. He knows my order so well he sends its straight in the cpu right when i walk in the door. Keep up the hard work! A well done Big Hawaiian is the best pizza in town. Ellese, Marcus annd Sydney are equally just as great. Great crew up there. Pic of perfection posted below!“

“It was all good I had brisket,sausage,ribs and pulled pork“

“Amazing food and staff! Highly recommend.“

“Boyfriend and I came to Nashville for the first time for an airsoft tournament and only had the day, so this place checked all the boxes when it came to deciding what to eat and make the best of it. Was not a major fast food chain, their East truck happened to be close to where we were attending, offers low prices, and delicious food! After experiencing I’d note there’s also easy parking, a welcoming environment, fresh ingredients; I had carne asada fries and two chorizo tacos. 100 out of 10 would recommend.“
