“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“We made a reservation for 7:45PM on a Friday evening for 4 guests while in town for a few days. From start to finish, we had such a great time. Our server, Jack, made our experience at The Finch excellent! He went over the menu, answered all our questions and had some great recommendations. The Cajun pasta was a 10/10! The chicken breast sandwich and the NY strip were also highly favorable for us. We were celebrating my sisters engagement that happened that morning and we were surprised with a delicious dessert, the butter cake, which was suggested by Jack and again did not disappoint! We will definitely be returning here in the future! Thank you Jack!“

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

“This was the perfect cozy spot for a November family dinner. Everything was delicious but standouts were the NY strip with mole sauce, roasted squash and fluffernutter pie. Our family of three shared everything and still had leftovers. Grace provided fantastic service and made sure all courses were paced appropriately so we could enjoy them all. We will definitely be back!“

“The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was really good. The service was a little slow and the bar did not have the ingredients to make a very common cocktail that I enjoy. The valet was completely full at 7pm so I had to find my own parking. I will definitely be going again and will consider The Standard at the Smith House for special events in the future.“

“Your typical Mom and Pop 'greasy spoon' breakfast place. Food was great; & you could tell there were a lot of locals dining there by the way they were greeted upon entering or departing.
Service was super friendly and if you're looking for something non-pretentious, charming and yummy, give it a try!“

Ellie was our server and she was welcoming and took great care of us - including my Mom who has vision issues. Good people. The buffet had a wide variety of flavors and items. Well executed and kept full for us to enjoy. We parked in the main lot and the front desk validated for us. Keep up the good work- we'll be back!“

“We came to Nashville on vacation. This was our first food stop and it was so good that we came back 2 days later while staying in Nashville. The employees are friendly and attentive. We had drinks at the bar our first visit, and I had never had such delicious and well presented cocktails before. The bartender knew what he was doing and was a pleasure to speak with. The dogs are to die for; the burgers and fries did not disappoint either. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Augustine provided amazing service, and the meal was absolutely delicious. While the drinks took a bit longer than expected, the overall experience was fantastic.

Just a heads up.. you’ll see several additional charges on the bill , including standard sales tax, LBD sales tax, alcohol tax, and a hospitality fee.“

“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. 🥰“

“I love that I have been able to go to Dinos for the past 6 years and it keeps getting better, while always feeling familiar. Katie served me at the bar last night and was such a delight to interact with. I come here for the attentive service, generous portion sizes, and friendly vibe. Never change!“

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

“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!“

“We had a great time at Robert’s! The music was great and the bologna sandwich was delicious. We came a little early on Sunday to hear the praise service; which was so nice. We knew the grill didn’t open until later, which was fine. The only complaint we had was one of the waitresses/ bartenders was a complete a$$! She was slamming things down on the bar and said she was “not talking to anybody before noon. “ We weren’t in any hurry for our sandwiches and didn’t try to order early or anything. She was just sooo rude!! It’s a great place, but that one woman was a real bummer! She should find a different line of work!!! Away from the public.“

“Broadway Nashville is a great place to visit while in Nashville! We had a great time watching Hawk game on Sat and Dawson was an amazing server! Definitely be back on my next trip! Michelle“

“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!“
