“Wooooow!!! I am a very picky wing eater. I went on fb and read some reviews and had to check this place out. They did not disappoint!!!! Every flavor we tried was finger licking good! I finally found my wing spot!! Oh and I ordered through uber eats and they were still so crispy when they got to me. Now I have to go in person!!!’“

“One of the Best Rib-eye steaks we’ve ever had in our lives cooked to perfection and tender. Excellent service met one of the owners just so warm and genuinely gracious. Highly recommended and don’t forget the carrot cake out of this world!!“

“I hesitated to try the Almond Crescent because it looked tiny at first. It was literally the best Almond C I've ever had in town, maybe anywhere. The Almond paste inside was so creamy and fresh. The pastry was flaky and perfect. The downside is I can now say goodbye to ever being skinny. So good.“

“The food is amazing and the staff was friendly! very good!“

“For a Wednesday evening the restaurant was very busy. The service was slow. The bar got two drinks wrong and was very slow. The server was apologetic but very courteous. The food when finally received was excellent. And the pricing was very high. The noise level was unacceptable. So loud you had to strain to hear your guests across the table and had to speak very loudly to be heard.“

“We have been going to the Rutledge for years and loved it; however they have changed their menu significantly. Most of our favorites are gone including the Mahi with coconut rice. We settled for a burger which was OK, but we don't go to the Rutledge for burgers. Really hope the change the menu back or at least add more options. The service was great but we won't go back until they update the menu.“

“We have eaten at Southside Grill for about twenty years. We go there for a quick bite to eat, Sunday brunch and, celebrations. We ate there last night and had probably the BEST meal we have ever had at Southside Grill. It was fantastic!“

“We have dinner at this establishment at least twice monthly. Exceptionally clean, excellent service, and food that is highly tasty and consistent! The ambience is unbelievable, truly one of a kind! The French dip is my favorite in all of Nashville, with excellent taste, and quality. The whitefish, blackened is to die for! Everything we’ve eaten, and every visit has been nothing, shy of exceptional, so glad to have them in our grand town. We’ve traveled the entire US and most of Europe, and this is one of our very favorite restaurants!“

“cold beer wings and the Philly cheesesteak“

“♥️♥️After house hunting all morning with our Realtors. We decided to have a lunch 🥗 date before we went shopping 🛍️. The Greeter was a drag but the food and drinks🍷 were delicious. 😋 We were so engaged, I forgot to take pictures. 😩 That’s been my norm lately. Just being in the moment.♥️♥️“

“Cheddar's has a wide selection on their menu. The spinach dip was a little thick for the chips but very tasty. All four enjoyed their meals. That was a senior (me), young adult, and two eleven year Olds. Pretty good spread on the age range.“

“I was there this past Thursday January 8th, and had Dixie as our server. Not only was she truly remarkably, but she took care of me and my soon to be Commissioner of Rutherford County! Her excellent service and dedication to her profession, made our night tremendous! We will continue to return, and hopefully we continue to have here as our server. Great Job Dixie.“

“First time there and the atmosphere was great and our waitress was awesome.“

“I recently visited The Bistro located inside the Courtyard Nashville Brentwood, and it was a delightful experience. The food was great, especially the burger, and the service was friendly and attentive. The menu offers a variety of popular items like chicken quesadillas and refreshing salads, making it a perfect spot for both a late-night meal and an early breakfast. They are open until 10 PM, which is convenient, and the prices are very affordable.

While it can get busy at times, with sometimes only one person working, they always maintain a friendly attitude and ensure the quality of the food and service remains high. This dedication to customer satisfaction makes The Bistro a great place to dine if you're staying at the hotel for a quick meal on busy trips.“

“Great food great prices. My only complaint is that the dining area needs cleaning and the windows, I was turned off by that but the kitchen area was clean and the chefs had on gloves while preparing the food so I ordered because of those reason's!“

“We eat breakfast here almost every weekend. We enjoy the new remodel that now provides booths to sit in while we eat with our toddler. We had the pleasure of having Keatra as our server today and although she was busy she did a phenomenal job.💖The best service we have received yet.“

“I got the Cajun chicken tenders and fries absolutely delicious! We were warmly greeted as we walked in and the young woman working the counter was quick to answer our questions and patient while we decide, I didn’t feel rushed at all. The place is small but doesn’t feel cramped they definitely maximized the space available. The food was amazing and filling. Will definitely be back!“

“Great food and service! We had a party of 13 women for brunch last weekend. The food was delicious and service was fantastic. I honestly expected it to be slow due to the group size but our waitress had it under control!“

“10 out of 10!!! This place was Amazing!!“

“First time enjoying Judge Bean’s barbecue! I had the smoked meatloaf and green beans. Talk about amazing food! And from the time I walked in the door to grab my food, I was greeted with big smiles and friendly faces.🥰 I will definitely be back!“

“Friendly staff eggcellent food would 100% come here again“

“Their Food is sooo good!!“

“Awesome friendly staff Great food“

“Had a great night at Longhorn in Brentwood and it's all due to wait staff and manager, Brandon. My spouse was running late due bad traffic and I went ahead and got a table and ordered. The traffic turned so bad that she showed up 25 minutes later. While I was waiting the manager came over to say hi and let me know not to worry and that our order would be brought out fresh no matter when my spouse showed up. The food did come out fresh and tasted great as usual. The people made the difference.“

“A few years ago the biscuits were a hit or miss, sometimes great & sometimes dry and stale. This last year I often order a breakfast biscuit with bacon, egg & cheese, and they have been absolutely delicious. Big, soft, fresh buttery biscuits, fluffy, freshly made eggs, and served hot enough to melt the cheese. The bacon is delicious. No matter the time of day that this breakfast item is served, it has been consistently excellent. The drive-thru is a pleasure to use with friendly service. By the way, the Bo Bites chicken nuggets are good also. Whoever is in charge of this Smyrna location, keep up the good work!“

“Good food, great service, excellent staff.“

“Awesome staff, awesome food, awesome drinks and awesome entertainment. 🤘🏽“

“food is good but Horrible costumer service. Angela is the name of the waitress. ignored us and not very pleasant talking to us or don't even care. its not even 30 minutes us eating the food and she can't wait to make us go. I'm still eating and she already snatched my plate that I need to put my fork to the plate that I'm eating and just hand it to her. take note I'm still chewing my food. that is so rude. Manager or supervisor should do something about her she got attitude and racist against me and my boyfriend since we the only asain eating.“

“It’s not a house, it’s a home.“

“One of the friendliest staff and excellent service! The food and drinks are amazing as well! I would highly recommend 10/10!“

“They definitely did what they was supposed to on this pizza. The pizza is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! This pizza is flavorful beyond comprehension!!! They even approved my special requests. Not going to lie this might be my to go pizza spot right here(no pun intended). This the type of place you'll want to gatekeep and have all to yourself. It's just that phenomenal!“

“Decided to visit this location since we frequent other locations. We have always enjoyed our meal and especially our servers wherever we go.
This location did not disappoint. Cyrilla was a wonderful server. She made sure our waters were filled and our meal arrived as requested in a timely fashion. It was a Friday night and busy. I applaud her and the support staff for their service to all the customers. Not just us.
I would recommend this location to anyone! Be sure to ask for Cyrilla!!“

“Family owned & they do a great job! Excellent service“

“great food me and Valentina loved it she always trying to stuff me“

“New to TN and first time at Dickey's BBQ Pit in Brentwood. Had excellent service today (6/18/25). Staff was friendly and helpful and food was very tasty. We'll be back when we're in the area.“

“I absolutely love TNTs. The food and drinks are great and the staff is even better! Im not from this area originally and I love a bar with pool and darts but I never expected the atmosphere to be as welcoming as it is. And the security guard let me use his charger to order an Uber and assured my car would ge OK because I was too drunk to drive and was really nice about it. I appreciated that alot. This is a Grade A establishment“

“I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Melanie Meyerhoff during my stay at the Hilton Cool Springs, and I can honestly say she is one of the best bartenders I’ve ever encountered. From the moment I sat down, Melanie was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Her ability to anticipate what you need before you even ask is nothing short of impressive.

Melanie has that rare combination of professionalism and personality that instantly makes you feel at home. Whether she’s mixing up a custom cocktail or simply checking in to make sure you’re taken care of, she brings an energy and friendliness that truly elevates the entire bar experience.

If you find yourself at Hilton Franklin Cool Springs, do yourself a favor and grab a seat at the bar—Melanie will make your evening exceptional. She’s a true asset to the Hilton team, and I’ll be coming back just to enjoy her incredible service again. Cheers, Melanie!“

“The owners are fabulous people. They will feed you and treat you like family. A great place for a cold beer after work. And a great place to settle down and chat and visit with friends and have a beer in the evening. Go.. Have a cold beer for me. Tell them I sent you :)“
