50 Best American Restaurants near Old Hickory

“Muy Rika la comida mi lugar favorito Para comer“

“Great neighborhood sports bar. Best wings in town and a great smash burger. Meat and 3 for lunch Mon-Fri. Friendly staff and great tv set up to watch a game. They have all the NFL games as well.“

“Sam's is a top fav for me in all of Nashville. my fav burger and fries, but everything on their menu is a hit. beautiful atmosphere on the lake, even in the winter!“

“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“

“First time back after living out of state for 6 years. It was as good as we remembered. The cauliflower appetizer is still my all time favorite. Had the Chef's Creation Pork filet. Oh my it was so tender, juicy and flavorful. I hope it becomes a regular menu item. Out of this world good. It was a great experience.“

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

“Server was excellent. Food was excellent. One of the hosts (taller auburn hair woman) was rude. Said neither hello nor goodbye. Unfriendly. Had an attitude. With an empty restaurant sat us in a small table in bar right next to loud guys drinking. We moved and then it was great.“

“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!“

“When we were first seated, we were placed in the back room away from the music, and honestly it wasn’t the experience we came for. But the moment we spoke with Derek and Nicole, everything changed. Their customer service was beyond exceptional. They listened, understood exactly what we wanted, and the management team went above and beyond to make it right by moving us to an incredible table right up front by the stage. From that moment on, the service was flawless. Constant check-ins, genuine hospitality, and tableside wine service. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. And the food? Outstanding. Every dish was executed perfectly. The cocktails were just as impressive, crafted beautifully and absolutely top tier. The atmosphere, live music, energy, and overall experience created the kind of night you hope for when booking a supper club. As a foodie from Houston, a city with one of the best food scenes in the country, I do not say this lightly: this place blew me away. Houston sets a high bar, and Twelve Thirty Club met it and then some. If you’re in Nashville, this is not just a place to eat, it’s a full experience. Five stars, top of the line, and absolutely worth every minute.“

“We had a fantastic brunch at Liberty Common! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed yet elevated brunch experience. Highly recommend Liberty Common for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful dining experience!“

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

“Will never go to nashville again without stopping here! This is the best burger I have ever ate! Dim, cozy lighting. 80’s tunes playing in the background. It was truly like stepping back in time. We went on a thursday night, food came out so fast. I will say not really a spot for socializing and meeting people though. Definitely a great time nonetheless.“

“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!“

“Absolutely love this place! So much effort and art goes into the food they prepare. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!“

“Yes!! The hostess Beverlyn welcomes you like you’re family and is amazing. Our server was informative and great! French onion burger was wonderful!!!“

“We eat at this restaurant frequently. I cannot imagine anyone giving this place anything but a 5 rating. Food is delicious. Great country cooking.“

“This was a highlight of our girls trip to Nashville. The songwriters were so engaging & great story tellers. We were able to hear some well known songs as well as some originals. We had a great time!!“

“While visiting family in Nashville we dined at Gunnons. This was my second visit, and I again was not disappointed. The prime rib is superb and much more than I could eat. Our table shared the eggplant olivia and I have to say that it is the best eggplant dish I have ever eaten.“

“Shared a wonder dinner with six colleagues at Folk. The restaurant had a special 6 course menu for us that was absolutely fabulous. Our waiter (really more of a “tour guide”), August, was fantastic. We couldn’t get over the quality of the ingredients, the creative presentations, and all of the flavors. Highly recommend.“

“Came to Nashville on vacation. The food downtown wasn't doing it for my wife and I so we decided to venture out for breakfast. This place looks like it been here for a long time. The food was amazing, well priced with nice portions. You can't overlook this place. Locals came in and they were greeted with love and they already knew the order.
This is a place that you don't see anymore.
The French toast was the best I've had. I don't care for it either.
Must come, local or visitor.“

“The service was excellent and the food was phenomenal.“

“We loved it! Bison burger for the win! 3 visits to the restaurant in 3 days! Staff, and food are great! We highly recommend stopping in and giving it a try! You won’t be disappointed!“

“This is my go to place when dinner is the question. I love, love the food here.“

“amazing service and food“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Had a fabulous meal tonight! The steak was superb, the sides delicious & the staff lovely! We will definitely return when we visit Nashville in the future!“

“Possibly the best meal I've ever had. The wagyu melted in my mouth, but the real star was the elk - the chipotle honey sauce was a perfect complement. They even brought by a dessert because it was our anniversary. Travis even told us some history of the building from the Civil War that made the night that much more memorable. Fantastic evening - thank you!!“

“We got the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and tenders, the pasta salad, fries, and homemade sauces including Big Cat Sauce, Maple Mustard, Hot Chicken Mayo, and Ranch. All of it was SO DELICIOUS!!!!! DEFINITELY recommend!“

“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!“

“Exquisite food & amazing magicians!“

“Y’all we drove from Birmingham to eat here. Graze Nashville did not disappoint! Amazing food! The Brussels were my favorite 😋“

“This is probably one of the BEST brunch buffets I've ever had. Everything was FRESH, HOT and DELICIOUS. The selection was great and left me wanting more. The potatoes are a must and if you have room for dessert, the caramel bread pudding is HEAVENLY. Don't think twice about making your reservation - DO IT NOW!“

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

“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!!“

“I really had a great time here relaxing , laid-back vibe. Lotta locals some people on vacation. The food was excellent.

“What a great place! I have been to this place five times already within two weeks. I ran in this place by accident and I didn’t even know it existed and my server. Liz is freaking awesome. Come out and see her and also they have happy hour 3 to 7.“

“Great ambience. Great service. Great food. Only issue was that our table of 4 would’ve loved to try the 2 orders of Cheddar Biscuits that we ordered with dinner but our server never put them in. Oh well. Otherwise great experience.“

“Justina c was an awesome server. food was great. portions were great.“

“Loved this place a boy named Jaylen waited on us!! We loved him!!“

“We stopped in while in Nashville. We were the first in the restaurant and were greeted by the. AMAZING staff. We didn’t have a reservation but were treated very well. We weren’t sure what we wanted to order so our server gave us some recommendations that didn’t disappoint. From the drinks to the end we were checked on frequently. Steak was like butter and cooked to perfection. Yes, the prices are high. That being said we will be returning and have recommended it to several friends as a “must try” while visiting Nashville.“

“loved the venue. Ill definitely be visiting again soon“
