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.“

“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“

“I landed on this place after searching restaurants around downtown. What a gem! I was thoroughly impressed with every facet of my experience, from the service to the food. I had the venison, which was excellent and paired beautifully with the pomegranate sauce on the plate. Definitely recommend!“

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

“Lively, great service and everything is delicious! Great place for dinner in Nashville. The feta appetizer was amazing as was my salad. We were a large party and shared several appetizers and I ordered the prime rib which was perfectly cooked! Great atmosphere and service was amazing for such a busy place. Will be back!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“say less. One of my favorite breakfast places in Nashville and there are plenty, believe me. Everything is fantastic, the service is perfect, and it’s not called the biscuit house for nothing. The biscuits are amazing and if you don’t get biscuits with sausage gravy, at least on the side, then you’re making a mistake. We had to wait 25 minutes and it was well worth it.“

“Absolutely stunning food, beautiful, thoughtfully decorated restaurant, and great service. My only complaint is that the pizza crust was mediocre. This was in stark contract to the excellent small plates and dessert. Why even sell pizza? They could just focus on the rest of the stellar menu.“

“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!!“

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

“This place is amazing!! The service was Devine and the food.....the chef definitely needs to be recognized!! I mean WOW!!!! 😋 😋“

“Last night we had a wonderful dinner at Germantown Cafe!! We had an outstanding server, thank you Conner!! The Tenderloin Pork with the Mash potatoes and green beans was outstanding! Thank you guys for sharing the sauce recipe with me!! Tim & Kat :)“

“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 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!“

“The One Hotel Rooftop Bar blew us away! Amazing skyline views, great food, and impeccable service. The music from DJ DTL Jams set the perfect tone for the evening. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Nashville!“

“What an incredible dining experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was vibrant, welcoming, and full of energy. The hospitality truly stood out, with the staff providing attentive, friendly service and excellent recommendations that made the visit even more enjoyable. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality. The combination of outstanding food, exceptional service, and a warm, inviting environment made for a memorable experience. A true gem and a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a fantastic meal in Nashville.“

“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!!“

“Exquisite food & amazing magicians!“

“Everything was great until it was time to pay. The inability to split checks properly was very frustrating as our table had to transfer money from phone to phone and bank to bank in order to pay for our food individually under one tab. If someone wants to pay for their own food that should be an option automatically. The payment options killied the experience. Our waitress did not really ask for drink orders just floated incase we wanted to ask her for something else. The food was great! And ambience was fantastic. I would come back but never again in a group.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and experience, very very friendly staff“

“Great pizza, drinks and service!!“

“Crusty joyburger(smashburger) is very flavorful. It’s an affordable lunch spot.“

“Awesome service great brunch super reasonable prices“

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

“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!“

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

“amazing service and food“

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

“The atmosphere, the upscale chill vibe. The best service we received while vacationing there that we kept returning. Steve, Derek, and Lauren were the best host and servers, they treated us like family and spoiled us like we were VIP! Beautiful place. Romantic. Good Music. The service was top notch!“

“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!“

“Visiting the hotel for a conference, we stopped in at Stompin' Grounds for a place to sit and have coffee. I ended up having a smoothie, and it was hands down the best I have ever had. If you notice the smoothie made with broccoli, avocado, coconut, and ginger among other things, trust me, it's outstanding. The other two in my party had coffee and were happy with it. Even though we did not order food, we had attentive, friendly service and were not rushed. Lovely place.“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing“

“Husband: I'm really not hungry - proceeds to eat an entire burger and fries 😆
Great food! The hangover burger was piled high! Naked tenders had a nice flavor. The seasoning on the fries is A+, they're perfectly crispy and fluffy! Even the to-go packaging is adorable!“

“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“

“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 came here for an early Mother’s Day brunch and we are still raving about it a day later. The food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. I took photos of our food (which I never do) because of how nice it was. The place is so clean and feels classy but not uncomfortably so. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. I can’t wait to go back!“

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

“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 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. 🥰“
