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

“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!“

“We visited for breakfast while in town over the weekend. The staff were super friendly. The food was soooo delicious. We have found our new favorite breakfast spot. We hope to try something from the lunch menu very soon.“

“Absolutely awesome Biscuits. Vegan but you would never know the difference. Opening soon. Go check them out.“

“I came in to town for a few days and checked out this place. I had the best service and amazing dinner. We had the BBQ wrap!“

“Hands. Down. My. Favorite. Place. In. Nashville.

The tacos were so good that I made it a point to visit again before leaving. I was able to try all (4) tacos over the course of two visits. The Asada were my absolute fave, especially when adding a little of that homemade green sauce on top.

Having traveled and lived in many states across the US, it was a pleasant surprise to find a vegan taco shop that reminded me a bit of my SoCal roots.

While my research for restaurants in Nashville were primarily focused on vegan options and proximity to the conference site, I was delighted to partake in the unexpected atmosphere of this Farmers' Market. Between the great food, eclectic selection of venders, and eco-friendly set up, this Farmers' Market was a big highlight of my trip. I would highly recommend to other traveling professionals, especially if you are attempting to grab a bite with others who have different dietary preferences.

It was also a huge bonus that the Bicentennial Capital Mall State Park was right outside.

I will always go out of my way to visit Succulent Vegan Tacos when in Nashville. It is just that good.“

“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!“

“This wellness food spot is a go-to for me! They have a variety of healthy options for meals, snacks, and even treats! A personal favorite is the pro-bowl! It’s the perfect after workout meal! Plus they always have a cute pup around, smiles, and all around good vibes!“

“AMAZING FIND in Nashville! The Tiew Gang Vegan noodle soup is really good!“

“The atmosphere is very nice and the food is delicious!“

“Some of the BEST flavors and service in Nashville. The drinks and dishes are a cut above. I cannot wait to go back 😍❤️“

“Shelby and management absolutely impressive with service and customer interaction. 👍🏼🤠“

“My sister, daughter, and I stumbled upon Assembling Food Hall last night before the Mumford and Sons concert at Bridgestone. We were very impressed. It was clean, spacious, and had a variety of food and drinks. It was definitely not crowded like all the bars. The prices were decent too. This will definitely be our go to spot from now on.“

“Enjoyed the vegan omelette and the chick pea bowl. The yellow rice in that bowl was delicious and could stand alone as a dish all by itself. Spoke to the chef and she is very concerned about the food not only tasting good but being truly healthy. Quite satisfied.“

“You can’t beat the Skull room in Nashville. The food, service, music, and atmosphere 5 plus stars! Highly recommend“

“We were recommended to this place from a friend, and it did not disappoint. We arrived during breakfast and we decided to order a smorgasbord of the menu. We got pancakes, fried green tomatoes, hot chicken, hash brown casserole, cheese grits, biscuits, jam, bacon, ham, eggs, and sausage. We also had the house made ranch and tried there house hot sauce! The fried green tomatoes are fried in old school cornmeal and cooked to perfection, the crust has a hard time staying together, but served with the house ranch was delicious (I recommend mixing in the house hot sauce to spice it up a bit, the hot sauce isn't too overpowered by vinegar and isn't so spicy that people with weaker palettes need to avoid). The hot chicken was also delicious, perfectly cooked and not overly spicy. It will give you a good introduction to Nashvilles go to menu item throughout the city (many places...many opinions to who's got the best hot chicken). Pancakes were delicious with there brand syrup and sweet cream butter. The bacon is smoked there on property (the smell of this place in my opinion could be bottled up and sold for men's cologne). You can taste the smoke in the bacon! The sausage was also done on property and rivals the bacon for which is the better meat side. We had the ham as well it was a really good, I am not the guy for whomever has the best ham...to me it's alright or it's good...I have never met any ham that has knocked my socks off. The eggs were cooked perfectly my wife's sunny side up were good with no runny whites and my over easy were also perfect with that smooth buttery yolks still warm and in tact. The hash rown casserole was delicious. It has a little touch of everything in it...cheese, hashbrowns, sausage, and even a bit of gravy. It goes together perfectly, would highly recommend. Then the cheese grits, for grits fans such as myself these were so freaking good. The grits weren't runny, and a perfect amount of cheese in them without even having to add any salt to the dish! We were told by a patron we ordered the most food on the menu they had ever witnessed! Even with that, it didn't break any banks doing so! We took some home and ate on it several days later and it was still delicious! Cool tour of the place and really cool history. Absolutely loved this place and a must go if you can get to it. You may have a bit of a wait so be prepared (the word of the place is already known!). Y'all be good and stay safe out there!“

“The quail tonight was phenomenal!“

“My husband and I stopped in at Two Hands from out of town with our pup for a brunch on the patio. Although it was super busy, we got seated quickly! Emily was our server and made the experience absolutely amazing! She went the extra mile to make our dog comfortable (although he was definitely in her way), provided excellent cocktail recommendations and helped us select dishes we LOVED! Emily made our stop very special and took the time to connect with us. Our food was immaculate, so when we visited another city that featured a Two Hands as well we knew we would be back! Thank you for the best Nashville experience!“

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

“Went to Etch for lunch after leaving country music Hall of Fame it’s a short walk. It was four of us. We had the grilled flatbread the Mediterranean salad, which was excellent chicken Parmesan see a hoagie and the wasabi salmon.and smoked salmon on sourdough had some desserts that were excellent. The wine list was extensive The restaurant definitely lived up to a reputation. I would recommend it. It was perfect for lunch. I’ve never tried it for dinner, but it was excellent. I would go back. A waitress Christy made it an enjoyable lunch.“

“Food was amazing! Loved the experience“

“Excellent service, great taste, generous portions of food..Visited 3 times during our stay at Nashville...Excellent option for vegetarians...Would highly recommend!!“

“Love the old school feel of a Cantina with a bar outside eating. Walk up order bring it to your table. You have a bar where you can order drinks. Eat tacos in the sunshine or eat them inside. They also play great eclectic tunes. I had great service when I was there.“

“Brunch and Drag show were so much fun! Our bachelorette party, loved the vibe!“

“Pinewood in Nashville was amazing! We came here for a bachelorette party and had the best experience. The food was incredible, the drinks were on point, and the service made us feel like total VIPs. Our group was taken care of from start to finish and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Pinewood if you’re looking for a fun spot in Nashville with great vibes, great food, and great service!“

“Absolutely great food, great atmosphere and incredible service. Don't miss out on the experience 🌹“

“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!“

“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!“

“This restaurant is the true meaning of southern hospitality. Great food and their corn pudding is wonderful. It's truly a blessing to have such a wonderful place here in Nashville!“

“Husk is a must try if you’re in Nashville and wanting a nice dinner spot. It is pricey but it’s worth it. The delicata squash appetizer was to die for! The service was good, our waiter was a bit cold and not very chatty or friendly which is why I only gave it 4 stars.“

“We came here for a girls' night out and were absolutely blown away! The restaurant offers a stunning panoramic view of the Nashville skyline, creating a beautiful ambiance. The food was exceptional! The tuna tartare, prepared tableside, was incredibly fresh with great flavor--an absolute must-try!! The duck fat fries were perfectly crispy and served with three delicious sauces, each one better than the last. The steak was cooked perfectly medium, juicy and tender, and the seared scallop on the side was a delightful addition. This spot is perfect for a girls' night out or a rom“

“The best food and service!!“

“The food and the service are always outstanding at Etc. I had the bread and butter (a little expensive but worth it for the almond peptic butter), the fish (delicious), and the sesame tart for dessert. It was all wonderful. The only issue there is parking, but if you keep looking, you will find a space not too far away.“

“If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee is the place to be. As someone who has traveled almost 80 miles to indulge in the delicious Turkish food, I can attest that Edessa Restaurant is a hidden gem that should not be missed. The restaurant's ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who welcome you with a smile. The service is prompt, and the food always arrives hot and fresh. The menu is detailed in English, making it easy to understand, and there is no confusion when it comes to choosing what to order. What makes Edessa Restaurant stand out is the presentation of their food, which is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Each dish is beautifully plated, and the flavors are expertly balanced. The cleanliness of the restaurant is also noteworthy, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic dining experience. In my recent visits, our server Hanan was exceptional. Her name in Arabic means "Tenderness with compassion and affection," and she truly lived up to her name by providing prompt and attentive service with a smile. As someone who has tried various types of cuisine from different cultures, I can confidently say that Edessa Restaurant's Turkish food and service are unmatched. I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new and unique to visit Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, TN. I give it 5 stars, and it is undoubtedly the number-one Turkish restaurant around. Ramzi Haroun, MD, FAAP“

“Great food and service made us feel so comfortable“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!“

“Enjoyed absolutely everything we ate! Service was perfect too. Must haves are the cotton candy bacon, lobster appetizer, wedge salad, steak. Sides were scrumptious as well. We will be back for sure! Highly recommend.“
