50 Best American Restaurants near Old Hickory

“Muy Rika la comida mi lugar favorito Para comer“

“The Tavern is fantastic! Great food, great Service :-) Super clean, we love it! We are there every Tuesday and Saturday!“

“Each time we fly through Nashville, we stopped here to eat. The food is really good, and the service is top-notch. The manager, Maverick? I think, will be seen busing tables during busy times. The wait staff is always friendly. This time we had Tracy- a spunky gal with a great attitude. No matter what you order you can’t go wrong with a side of their queso. That wonderfully smooth hot cheese dip is good on everything. Also, most of the time we split when we go here- we get the double patty burger- it’s excellent!“

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

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

“We were a group of 11 that received excellent service. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming. Menu has a good variety of selections, and the food was excellent! Summer Lyn was our server and she was terrific. We highly recommend this new and exciting restaurant!“

“Etch-cellent experience. My youngest daughter wants to be a chef, so we arrived early and sat at the Chef's Bar to create the best opportunity for her to interact with the staff. Everyone was wonderfully supportive and staff continued to stop by and offer real-time insights when after the place became really busy. We'll go back.“

“We highly recommend Gyro King. Their food is fresh, the salads and bread are amazing. The food is healthy and there are so many options. The owners are nice people and give great service!“

“We visited on a night when the AC had gone out, so it was a tad warm. But the server did a great job of working through that glitch. The cocktail menu was fun and creative. The dinner menu combines classics very simply prepared over live fire with out of the box shareables, such as the corn ribs, which are a MUST. Parking is rough, but it was all quite worth the visit.“

“Fantastic service coupled with a well-executed menu!! Intimate atmosphere and delicious plates. Perfect for girls night out or a date night. Parking can be a challenge so don’t be late. The maitre’d is prompt to greet you and they ensure that your experience is flawless throughout the meal. 10/10 recommend!!“

“Manila our waiter for table 30 was was fantastic,friendly and very attentive. Thank you Nabil you were awesome. Ramy our bartender made an awesome margarita. Definitely recommend the General Jackson and will revisit again very soon. Thanks again“

“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!“

“Beautiful experience in a beautiful space. The open concept with the pristine kitchen right in the middle. Watching the chefs work to deliver unique presentations. Service was outstanding. It shows that all staff really love what they do. It is hard to describe the dishes, you just have to experience them. I’d recommend the feast.“

“Vibe here is very fire-meets-brick, in a good way. Got the brisket plate with charred green beans and esquites — brisket was smoky, sliced thick, super tender. Green beans had this grill-flavor I didn’t expect to love, but yeah, I’d get 'em again. Place was busy but didn’t feel hectic.“

“It is situated slightly away from the noise and overcrowded restaurants / saloons on Broadway. The place is quiet and very pleasant. The service was great. The food and wine were superb. Their menu is much more sofisticated than just standard burgers. The patrons could sit at the tables or at the bar. I had a very pleasant experience.“

“Great burgers, great service Will definitely will stop again. Wish there was a franchise closer to Kentucky. (The sweet potato waffle fries were over cooked but the waitress gladly took the price off the check ) Keep up the good work ?“

“We were lucky to sit at the chef's table for dinner - what a great time it was! Travis -our server - was very knowledgeable about the drinks and dinner menu, but best of all he was so energetic and entertaining. And hats off to the chef - JD. He explained how all the food was prepared and happened to slip us many “samples”. We will definitely come back to Adele's next time we visit Nashville.“

“amazing service and food“

“Great food and great service to go along with it.“

“Cam was an awesome bartender and took great care of us, she even gave us recommendations of what to do in East Nashville,“

“Celebrating our anniversary here was absolutely perfect. The food, the service and the vibe were absolutely on point. We enjoyed the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, and shared the sea bass and a filet mignon; both were excellent! The warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream for dessert was the perfect finale! I enjoyed a perfectly made espresso martini as well. This was our first time dining at the Standard and we will definitely be back!“

“What’s not to love, great food, chilled atmosphere inside and outside with the friendliest staff….and excellent value for money. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I'm a person who asks questions so I really do appreciate the patience and menu advice.
I got the hot chicken, fried w/ chili on top.
The medium spice flavor was stated to be around a 5/6 and the hot spice flavor was stated to be around a 7/8.
The chicken was unexpectedly flavorful and very savory. The spice level was perfect for my liking (hot).
I would absolutely come back with people who have never been here before.
I went late at night after watching some musician friends play at an event. The food wait was about 15 min.“

“Interesting place. Good food. Family styled all you can eat sides. Coleslaw and green beans are excellent. Great French fries, which are served with most entrees. The only item I would not recommend is the fried clams. They were extremely small and over breaded. Could not even taste the clams. Everything else is very good, if not outright excellent! Sides are served family-style and they're all you can eat. We've had both the catfish and the chicken, and they were both very good. Definitely a pleasant place to eat. The people are very friendly and work hard. I defineitely recommend!“

“A great local quick eat place. Love it!“

“Amazing drinks and atmosphere“

“One of the best meals I've had in a long time! Beautiful ambiance, outstanding service, and incredible food. The menu is made for sharing, so you'll want to come hungry. Everything was so delicious – especially the recommendations from our server! Can't wait to come back sometime soon.“

“Dined here for the first time on my birthday this past Thursday. Met up with friends and y’all let us hang out and chat as long as we wanted. Food was amazing!! You MUST try the chicken tortilla soup!! The tilapia, ALSO AMAZING!! Love the cozy environment as it reminds me of my small town restaurants back home. We will be back every time we are in Nashville!“

“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!“

“UPDATE: My first experience was underwhelming but I gave it another try and the biscuits and gravy for breakfast were great. I gave this place another star (from 3/5 to 4/5) and would go back.

Original review: 1 Kitchen at 1 Hotel is a beautiful restaurant inside a stunning, high-end hotel. The concept of the menu is fantastic, and I love the overall vibe. My beet salad, however, was unsalted and a bit underwhelming. The chicken was seared, but parts of it were burnt, and I had to cut them off. Just a few tweaks in the kitchen and more attention to seasoning could take it from good to great.

That said, I’ve heard from a friend that the sandwiches and brunch are excellent, so I’d definitely give it another try. Service and atmosphere are both 5/5 stars.

Overall, not quite a five-star food experience this time, but I can see the potential and would go back.“

“We went somewhere else for breakfast this morning and regretted it! If we get breakfast it's almost always either Red Rooster or Waffle House. Never going anywhere else again! The Roo has never disappointed. They're quick, delicious, very fairly priced! The servers are on top of it! I even had a rough morning getting my 4 year old in the door and a server opened her arms and he jumped right in them, giving her a big hug. Totally changed his mood around. We love Red Rooster. 🥰“

“We went to Haper's this weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! This was the perfect pick for a special occasion, everything from the ambiance to the service was top-tier. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious across the board. What truly made the night unforgettable was our server, Branson. He was phenomenal...knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. His thoughtful recommendations and kind and fun demeanor elevated the entire evening. He even ended the night with a sweet surprise for the birthday girl, which was such a thoughtful touch! We highly recommend Haper's for any important dinner or celebration, you'll be in great hands!“
