50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Nashville

“Hathorne continues to be one of the most consistent contemporary restaurants in Nashville. John is one of the most engaging and knowledgeable front-of-the-house proprietors in the business, and it rubs off on his kitchen and bar staff.“

“I have eaten here several times. Great food, atmosphere and employees. It’s my favorite five points dining spot.“

“EVERY SINGLE PART of my birthday dinner last night was exceptional! From crafted cocktails, crispy avocado rice, bacon wrapped dates, lamb that melted in your mouth, so much of the newly crafted autumn menu that we were able to enjoy, plus staff that made us feel like we were the most important people in the room (we are talking especially about you, Ally!). Butcher and Bee is now my "you have to go here" recommendation to anyone coming to Nashville. And order the Chef's Choice. We are still a bit in awe of the culinary splendor we received. Thank you!“

“Best street tacos I’ve experienced yet! Plus great customer service.“

“Great food and even better blueberry jam! This small house was packed but we still were sat quickly and had quick service. Everything tasted great. My only complaint was the food was a little lukewarm and seemed like it had sat out for a bit. Nonetheless still tasted great with very friendly waitresses!“

“A beautiful cocktail bar with great food too! Service was great!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Nashville—food and vibes are so good!! Shoutout to Ari for being the best waitress ever!“

“Was a great place! Visited from Chicago after seeing Somebody Feed Phil! ❤️“

“Great food! Seasoning is super!“

“What a Great Location, Great food, Service! My only complaint...is the blonde hostess at the door. I've been in several times and I have yet to see her Smile. Acts very disconnected when she is seat patrons. ALWAYS! The disappointing part, is management doesn't catch on....or, they don't care.“

“Excellent in every way. Avocado margaritas- zucchini fries- lentil walnut burgers. Great vibe.“

“I love Creve Hall bagels they are just outstanding and I love their smears as well but I went into buy four bagels and two 8 oz containers and they ring me up as a build your own sandwich basically and so it really got expensive because I was charged basically for four sandwiches. I guess now I know to try and do it a little bit more wholesale and make things in half dozen and dozen increments“

“What a great surprise!!! Totally worth the drive from Murfreesboro for the Churasco sandwich, empanadas or taco. Best empanadas I’ve had since living in Santiago de Chile! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Friendly staff and mouth watering chicken !!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great!“

“Love the burger! My wife and I are from Texas and found Gabby’s burgers on the internet. I am glad we visited. We both had the shamus burger and homemade fries. This meal will put any other burger to shame! We were greeted with a very spirited and young man that took our order…. Go visit and you will understand what I am talking about, with an over the top feeling of being welcomed. Get there early due to the place being very small. We arrived right before the lunch rush and it filled up quickly, but I will say it is well worth the wait!!!!!“

“Totally worth it! See for yourself! Donelson location gave me amazing food and service! Beer selection is goood.“

“Great experience with the friendliest staff in town. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit. A local’s favorite for sure.“

“So good I had a hard time choosing what flavore I wanted. It's so nice to have a good selection of vegan ice cream flavors. I went with my favorite mint chocolate chip but tested the Carmel/coffee or something like that which was very good and made the choice a hard one ;) My husband and I Sat outside and watched the volleyball players while we enjoyed our treat. He had the cookies and cream and said that he wouldn't have even guessed it was dairy free.“

“Absolutely, hands down, the best fish and chips I have ever had. Everything is obviously made from scratch (even the tartar sauce). My wife loved it and she isn’t even much of a fish person. Put this place on your list of restaurants to try!“

“yummy and Wyatt is the best !“

“Nikki was our server, and we couldn’t have asked for anybody more wonderful. She not only helped us with wine and food recommendations, she completely elevated our dinning experience. Her recommendation for the new Sicilian wings & Gavi di Gavi wine could not have been more spot on. I would hope that any patron of Pelato would be lucky enough to have Nikki as their server.“

“If you like hidden family run restaurants, this place is a Gem!!! The Mediterranean food is absolutely delicious and it’s all homemade. We ordered the spinach sun-dried tomato dip. It was served warm with toasted rounds. It was so delicious! Then we ordered an Entree of Falafel cakes on rice with a red cabbage slaw, tzatziki sauce, and pita bread. The falafel cakes were so good, we ordered more to go, the red cabbage was seasoned perfectly for a salad. We will be returning to try other dishes, as it was our first time. Peachtree Grill - Keep up the great job! It was so good!“

“Came with the coworkers today. Nice atmosphere with the a really chill vibe. Doesn’t have any crazy burger smell either which is nice. Parking is a little difficult but it is the city after all.I got the Greg Brady with sweet potato fries and I wish I bought 2 haha. Amazing food. Amazing place. Will return.“

“great staff! Enjoyable atmosphere. My husband loved the cider. Pizza was amazing!“

“I met 5 friends for brunch this morning. Food was great and our server was outstanding.“

“Great place, great food, and great service. Our waitress Erica(ka) was amazing and we would come back for sure when we come back to TN for another visit!“

“Good drinks, good music, and amazing food choices.“

“loved every moment of our dinner here.. celebrated Nandy's bday here.. they customized the menu by writing his name with Happy bday.. the prima Vera and focaccias (tomato and potato) were fantastic.. my cocktails were customized by Jack.. (old fashioned and daiquiri) and it was just amazing., so was the tiramisu.. just loved it! Customer service is exemplary.. ambience is loud but nice..“

“Really great addition to the neighborhood. Excellent chicken, excellent service for the style of establishment. Could do with a little more in the way of salads. Has a dog friendly patio. Dressing up the patio area with some string lights, potted plants, and some (low volume) outdoor speakers would go a long way.“

“The food was amazing! Off the busy strip for a quieter more relaxed Nashville Experience!“

“My husband and I had a pre honeymoon get away to Nashville. We love sushi and were highly reccomended this restaurant… It was an amazing experience. Best sushi we’ve ever had and atmosphere/server was incredible!! We will be back ♥️“

“Holy cow! 1st time here. Ordered an iced vanilla latte. I have had MANY iced lattes in my life and this one tasted like no other I have ever had. It was so very delicious. Maybe it had a touch of honey, I’m not sure but whatever their special touch was is absolutely amazing. Only negative- I do not live close to any of the locations and I’ll never be able to drink a latte from anywhere else lol“

“Proper Bagel is the BEST bagel shop around! I have never seen so many freshly made cream cheeses to select from; my daughter and I are obsessed with the iced chai tea latte (it literally tastes like pumpkin pie); you’ll probably see a line, but don’t let that deter you! Their system works - line goes through quickly! It’s a must go-to!“

“It was all good I had brisket,sausage,ribs and pulled pork“

“The food!!! Such delightful combinations and twists on traditional Mediterranean fare. The service is also superior here. Our waiter Jet was fabulous and offered great recommendations. I highly recommend Lyra.“

“Robert provided great service and menu recommendations. My friend and I shared three apps, an entree and Key Lime Pie. Apps (Mussels, goat cheese and arancini) were great. The trout was very crispy, just the way I like it.“

“I live in San Diego but when I’m in town 4-5 times a year I always find myself returning to Central BBQ….great staff, terrific food & nice atmosphere“

“If we a A Lost Paddy in our area I would go there. This was a fun place to eat. Vanessa was helpful with our orders, and quite a charactern So friendly. She floated when she walked. So good at her job. Yes, you order from the bar. Who cares? Tuesday night we had entertainment. They were good. They said there would be entertainment thd next night also, though we didn't see any. We may have been early. The food wss great. Huge portions of tasty, fresh food.“

“ANNIKA S was such a sweet server! She treated us as if we were her only table and did a great job explaining different menu options.“

“this place is great. staff is friendly. food and drinks great. it is out of the way but worth it. Great absolutely great.“

“I went on a chilly fall night and there's limited indoor seating. The outdoor area is beautiful though! With tables, booths, and fire pits. If you get easily chilled, steer away from here during the colder months. The wine selection was satisfactory and the service was attentive. I bet this is a great summer hang out spot and I look forward to trying again.“

“Incredible food and probably the best service I’ve ever had. We stopped by on a trip from out of town and I already can’t wait to go back.“

“I’ve ordered from here several times. I always pick up to take home- never dined in so I can’t say anything for dining in service. Their pizza is good. Great even. You have to be in a mood for this style, but it’s great.The Caesar salad, however, is something to skip. I got back from a long day of travel from a work trip and all I wanted was a Caesar salad. Picked up and brought home. The dressing was overly fishy and very salty. Literally took 2 bites and threw the rest out. The crispy chicken I added was also not great. Over-cooked in my opinion. A grilled chicken option would be nice.Glad I was feeling a little savage and also ordered mozzarella sticks because that ended up being my entire dinner at 9pm.Skip the Caesar. Stick with the pizza (and mozz sticks).“

“The service was a little bit slow (and my drink never did get refilled) but the food was delicious and it was a fun vibe.“

“Lent's take on the spicy margarita pizza is a revelation. It's not just a pizza with a spicy kick – it's a flavor explosion that had me wanting more with every bite. It's even greater to down it with some beer and friends.“

“Boyfriend and I came to Nashville for the first time for an airsoft tournament and only had the day, so this place checked all the boxes when it came to deciding what to eat and make the best of it. Was not a major fast food chain, their East truck happened to be close to where we were attending, offers low prices, and delicious food! After experiencing I’d note there’s also easy parking, a welcoming environment, fresh ingredients; I had carne asada fries and two chorizo tacos. 100 out of 10 would recommend.“

“Great music and fantastic food and service! We were staying nearby and stopped in for music and appetizers. Both were amazing. It was so good, we returned for dinner and the catfish and meatloaf were both delicious. And the beignets, you HAVE to get the beignets! Also the staff was very friendly and even took the time to give us some advice on some of the things we planned to do around Nashville. If you're in Nashville, go here!!! They even have a parking lot (which is painfully rare it seemed).“

“This has, without a doubt, been one of the best dining experiences I've had at a restaurant (other than my regular favorites) in a very long time. From the initial greeting at the door to the recommendations from the waiter, to the quality of the cocktails and food, attentiveness of the staff, and decor. It has changed my opinion of what you can expect from a hotel restaurant. Highest recommendations.“

“Love the soft serve and dipped cones!“
