20 Best American Restaurants in Brentwood

“We were traveling and looking for something we didn't have at home. This place was quick and the food was delicious. Our server, Jessica, was absolutely amazing. Once we told her we were from Ohio, she knew we'd rather have potatoes and not grits. Lol She did an amazing job! Super friendly and a beautiful smile and personality. Thank you for making us feel at home.“

“First time here for my dad's 75th birthday and Angel was our server. I just have to say we had the best experience ever. Angel was kind, patient, knowledgeable and friendly. She made some great suggestions which we decided to go with and it did not disappoint. We will definitely be back again!“

“Quick seating, our waitress was nice. It's had to find a good breakfast place, but Puffy Muffin always comes through. Good selection on the menu. They have a little bit of everything, to-go salads and sandwiches, cookies, pies, and cakes. They also do custom cake orders.“

“That honey bbq pork! Yum. Always friendly service and delicious food.“

“I brought my family down from Wisconsin for a hockey tournament. I had asked the hotel manager for the best BBQ joint around. Without hesitation she said Corky’s! So we came here for dinner and I assure you they DID NOT disappoint!!! The most original and tasty southern barbecue around, without question! Every time I’m in the area I will come back here without question. From the delicious food to the amazing service, you will never go wrong here!!!! WOW what an amazing experience!UPDATE:Came back for another hockey tournament and true to my word came to Corky’s for my birthday dinner!! Nothing better“

“Had a lovely brunch here meeting a friend, and the high praise of her recommendation was worth it. Service was a bit slow on the paying-and-leaving side of things, but that's partway on me for not noticing (or being told) the receipt has a QR code to pay without waiting in the way of the entrance.“

“Your service rates higher than 5 stars (10 stars). Monday I had an MD Appt in Brentwood and my wife was pretty close to drooling since we were coming to Just Love. Unfortunately, we didn't leave my Dr's office until 5:00. She went back today so she's a happy camper. See you Thursday.“

“Overall really positive experience at this location, I can highly recommend the food, the customer service, and the overall vibe inside the restaurant. Reminds you of an old cabin in Aspen when you're on the inside. Complete with a bar and lots of seating for large and small parties. Highly recommend the barbecue cornbread for lunch!“

“We went in about an hour and a half before closing time, and the staff were all very polite and attentive. I ordered the sirloin with corn and broccoli, and we also ordered one ribeye and NY strip steak with salads and loaded baked potatoes.My sirloin, corn, and broccoli were all AMAZING, salads and loaded mashed were a hit, and the ribeye was so juicy and perfectly cooked. The only issue we had was the NY strip which we ordered medium rare but came out charred and well done. Our waiter apologized and got us a fresh NY strip that was cooked perfectly in no time at all. Exemplary service by the front of house and props to the cooks as well for doing a fantastic job.“

“Jefferson’s Brentwood is a great little pub, tucked away in Maryland Farms. We went there after tennis at the old Maryland Farms Y. The drinks are affordable and good. The food is pub food, good reasonably priced pub food. Great burgers and wings. The atmosphere is great and the servers are awesome! This place reminds me of a great pub we would go to after rugby practice back in day ?.“

“I have come here for like ten years or more. ever since back when it was just bubble tea and wraps. Now with the new owners it has a lot of different choices in addition to the old wrap favorites. I tried a Korean hotdog here for the first time and it was really good, and the new boba flavors are really good too. Never had a bad meal here. The best is the slushy boba“

“Usually have an outstanding experience here so this was a tad disappointing. Ordered the short rib as I usually do and it was painfully salty. Service was meh at best which again was surprising. Met a friend at 11:30, it was not at all busy and yet our server never returned to our table after delivering our food. When he finally did it was to deliver the check.... Never asked if we needed more drinks, a dessert menu anything. I ordered iced tea which was never refilled (unheard of in the south!). With all of the great restaurants in that area it might be time for me to find a new spot.“

“I was working in Brentwood today and I wanted some BBQ so I stopped in for lunch. It's a solid BBQ joint. Usually you can tell a good BBQ place from their pulled pork, so that's what I got and it had a very good smoke flavor. It was tender and juicy. The sandwich had a very good portion of meat and the vinegar sauce they give you to dip was a good compliment to the sandwich. The slaw was good. The fries weren't crispy because they are thick homecut, but they tasted good. Inside the restaurant is homely and comfortable. They had several TV's and they have a full bar. I will go back. I think that I got good value for the amount of food that I got.“

“Came here to share some apps and time with co-workers. We had a great time! Service was perfect. Food was tasty and portions plenty. Recommend the grilled wings with buffalo sauce and the appetizer sampler! Thanks for a great outing, Corner Pub!!“

“All is good at Cheddar's, I have never been disappointed with any meal there but there could be some improvements. I went there last night and had another fine meal with good people. I do have an issue though, in paying my bill that I had no problem with it only printed out the total cost of the meal and then suggested the tipping %'s. I have no intentions of paying a tip on the total. I am not paying a tip on the taxes tagged onto the meal. I only pay for the services rendered to me at the table. DISPLAY THE BREAKDOWN OF THE MEAL ALONG WITH THE TAXES!!!!!! I am no fool. If you do not show a breakdown of my bill I will NOT tip at all.“

“We went to a waffle house the day before that gave us slightly better service than this one and was more lively. Not saying it wasn't good or anything. Just the servers and folks behind the counter were a lil blah. But it's fine. Our server was great, the food was hot and tasty. Not complaints. This location was busier. We did have to wait a bit but it's to be expected.Vegetarian options: Hash browns??‍♂️Dietary restrictions: Everything is cooked with oil. Might wanna watch out.Parking: Parking was fine. No issues.Kid-friendliness: It's WAFFLE HOUSE. No fights broke out. It's friendly enuff.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“I loved Sonya the receptionist, who shared the same excitement as me about Shabu Shabu the restaurant. Checked and out for a one night for work. Quiet, close by to many restaurants, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable for a hotel. I thought this place had complementary breakfast but it does not. The gym is really spacious, so I greatly appreciated it.“

“Loved this location!!! We were visiting from out of state and have one of these back at home, but this location was great! We went on a Sunday morning, which is obviously always busy, but we got in line over the phone and only had to wait about 5 mins. Our waitress was super sweet and the food was great ?“

“Excellent place to dine when in Nashville! The foods were all flavorful and delicious. Starting with the delicious and flavorful chicken wings; we were so pleased. The main entrees did not disappoint either; the grilled chicken was juicy and full of flavors and the fries were perfectly seasoned. The salmon was perfectly cooked and seasoned as well, which I ordered at medium rare. Overall this restaurant is outstanding and gave such good service. It was quiet considering there's a full service bar with plenty of customers. We returned the next day as we were staying at the Hilton Hotel, which is also our favorite hotel in Nashville/Brentwood. We will continue dining at this restaurant when in town. Thank you for a great evening and experience.“

“Sorry plates are partial, had to calm my hunger. Brisket is well flavored, but a little on the dry side. Ribs are delicious and tender, fall off the bone. No sauce needed in my opinion. The sausage, which comes in spicy or regular (we ordered regular), is delicious. The green beans are a little peppery (black pepper), but that is normal to me. My barbecue beans did not have any bacon. The fried okra was delicious and crispy, not mushy inside. Texas toast is good, butbI think I would prefer to have both sides buttered. Overall a really good meal.“
