Ole Red Nashville Airport 1 Terminal Dr Concourse C, Nashville American • $$

“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!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Above and Beyond — A Bright Spot in a Long Travel Day After 10 hours of travel delays, cancellations, and feeling completely worn down, I found myself at Ole Red’s — and I’m so glad I did. The staff didn’t just serve food and drinks; they showed genuine kindness and care that turned my whole day around. Not only did they treat me like I mattered, they bought me a drink and even gifted me an Ole Red’s tank top to lift my spirits. I honestly teared up — it was one of the most thoughtful gestures I’ve ever experienced while traveling. Kindness like this is rare, especially in the middle of airport chaos. Thank you to the amazing team at Ole Red’s (specifically KJ and Gabby) — your warmth, generosity, and heart made a hard day feel a whole lot better. I won’t forget it!”

“This has recently become one of my favorite plant based spots in Nashville after trying them at Hunters Station last weekend, then having my boyfriend go back later that night and the next day to grab us food. The fish sandwich tastes exactly like fish and the cheesy potatoes compliment it to well. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they open up on a more consistent basis but for now I’m ok with stalking their insta page to see where their going to be. 10/10”

“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!!”

Rae's Sandwich Shoppe 501 Union St, Nashville Sandwich Shop • $

“I highly, highly, highly recommend Wednesday's Jerk Chicken Special at Rae's Gourmet Sandwiches on Union. That is, if you enjoy involuntarily and pitifully yelping as you jump straight up out of, and pretty much fall off of, your office chair from the incredibly delicious and even more incredibly painful heat of the spices with your very first bite. The instantaneous clearing of any toxins in your body is spectacular. No worries, though, these antics go entirely unnoticed by your co-corkers who don't even hear you yelp because, while it seems to be ear splitting in your own head, the spices have actually sucked the breath out of you and it is a silent scream. Even as you walk in circular fashion around the office frantically flapping your arms like a chicken trying to whip up some semblance of a cool breeze to save yourself, you'll only come to realize that your co-workers think this behavior is normal for you. The only dismaying part of your lunch experience will be if you were stupid, like me, and only got a half order. #pahotwingsareforwussies”

I don't know, but this server both times seemed to forget my order and serve several people who showed up after me. I've had to remind her both times I was still waiting. A light bulb goes off and she gets my food. Both times I've had to eat cold food. If you stop here during the graveyard shift you better stay on top of the server or you'll end up being bumped to the end of the line and eating cold food.”

“If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee is the place to be. As someone who has traveled almost 80 miles to indulge in the delicious Turkish food, I can attest that Edessa Restaurant is a hidden gem that should not be missed. The restaurant's ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who welcome you with a smile. The service is prompt, and the food always arrives hot and fresh. The menu is detailed in English, making it easy to understand, and there is no confusion when it comes to choosing what to order. What makes Edessa Restaurant stand out is the presentation of their food, which is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Each dish is beautifully plated, and the flavors are expertly balanced. The cleanliness of the restaurant is also noteworthy, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic dining experience. In my recent visits, our server Hanan was exceptional. Her name in Arabic means "Tenderness with compassion and affection," and she truly lived up to her name by providing prompt and attentive service with a smile. As someone who has tried various types of cuisine from different cultures, I can confidently say that Edessa Restaurant's Turkish food and service are unmatched. I highly recommend anyone looking to try something new and unique to visit Edessa Restaurant in Nashville, TN. I give it 5 stars, and it is undoubtedly the number-one Turkish restaurant around.

But the real jackpot was “The Big Fella” burger. A half-pound patty topped with Irish bacon, sharp Irish cheddar, and a fried egg. Every layer hit just right, and the sweet potato fries that came with it were perfectly crisp and full of flavor. One of the best specialty burgers I’ve had anywhere.

“Friday night after a few drinks late night at some local bars and not wanting to drive far from our hotel, we ordered from here and LOVEDDDD it. Pizza was hot, fresh ingredients & we ate every single slice. To top it off they graciously added a 2 liter of sprite to our order that we didn't even order & let us use their restroom. That following Sat we decided to try something different on the menu & we still were more than happy. The small calzone was HUGE and full of ingredients but not too much. The cheesesteak hoagie was a great portion too. 4 people ate just those 2 things and we all we FULL! And again we were offered a free soda. We now all have this placed saved for our return to Nashville”

We started off with a few appetizers, and they were fantastic. The stuffed mushrooms were rich and savory, and the shrimp cocktail was fresh with a great kick from the horseradish. Each dish came out hot and perfectly prepared, setting the tone for what was to come.

The steak, of course, was the star of the night. I ordered the filet, and it came out sizzling on their signature 500° plate—an experience in itself. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, with a buttery richness that melted in my mouth. Every bite was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. You really can’t go wrong with any cut on the menu.

We also ordered a bottle of red wine from their curated list, which had some excellent options. Our server was incredibly helpful in suggesting a pairing that worked well with both our steaks and our side dishes.”

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.

“First time at the new location and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambience is great and service was outstanding (Thank you Grant). We had the Frutti di Mare and Veal Saltimbocca and both were equally outstanding. Nice wine list as well. Dress business casual as most fine dining restaurants are, so best to avoid dressing overly casual (Swartz, flip-flops, tank tops, caps, etc).”

Marsh House 401 11th Ave S, Nashville Seafood • $$$

“Omg this is the BEST omelette in Nashville! And believe me I’ve tried them all.
I’m a total brekky person always looking for new places to try and today I was tired of all the other places I’ve been with the same old avocado toast and poached eggs … or the southern places which never have an espresso machine.
So I searched… and searched…. A loooot. And it so paid off!!! Lucky I found them! Because they’re listed under seafood restaurant haha which I don’t even eat. But I saw breakfast on the menu and off we went. And we had the most perfect meal!
I had the veggie omelette with spinach peppers and onions and with feta cheese and a wheat toast (so happy they provide that option for those who need it), and my husband had the ham omelette with the yummy potatoes and we also had drinks and their famous biscuit which is to die for! It comes with a house made jam that is so fresh and delicious!
That’s it, I don’t need to look no more, from now on everytime I want eggs for breakfast we’re going thereeee!

And one more thing to add - I am diabetic so it’s always hard to find drinks that are sugar free around Nashville, especially mocktails (and that needs to change btw but that’s a review to all the bars and restaurants as a whole haha) but anyhow - this place made it great with a virgin and skinny mojito that was refreshing and lovely!

Now we’ll have to try their dinner menu too, I hope it’s just as good! 🤩”

Fonda on 12th | Nashville 2316 12th Ave S, Nashville Mexican • $$

“Attended the Taste of the Yucatan private event here on Nov 12, 2024. This was a great intro for locals to get to know a fairly recent entry onto the 12 South scene-- and let me tell you they made a very compelling case for why they should be the Go-To neighborhood spot for area diners. Out of town foodies will love it too, but the owners really wanted to pitch local with the event. The menu for the evening featured flavors from the Yucatan peninsula, which also pull from the Caribbean apparently. The flavors on many of the plates were complex, yet some of the dishes had a home cooked vibe, like a handed-down family recipe-- made new by Chef Santibañez. Cocktails, wine, and other bar offerings were all exceptional. Overall, the food was stunning, and the entire evening was a treat. Another notable highlight was the service: having well-trained and attentive servers add to the atmosphere seems rare to find these days, but Fonda fielded a great crew for the event. Lastly, as a local, one of the more frustrating challenges in convincing my wife and I to go out in Nashville for dinner is dealing with parking, especially in areas like 12 South. Some friends who also attended were able to walk over from their home near Belmont, while we drove over from Green Hills. So a huge asset (for me) is that Fonda has their own parking right behind the restaurant! And it's validated! I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit.”

Darfons Restaurant + Bar 2810 Elm Hill Pike, Nashville American • $$

“It’s been 25 years It’s been 25 years since we have eaten at Darfons in Donaldson. We were last there when we actually lived in Donaldson and it was in the old location on Donaldson Pike. I found everything about the new location excellent. The food, the service, the facility. I think that’s what a restaurant is supposed to be all about. 🧐 I’m so glad we made the 30 minute drive from West Nashville. It really wasn’t all that far. Upon arrival, the host quickly seated us at a nice table. I have family visiting including a nine month old and they made every accommodation. It was very nice. The next person we saw was John our waiter. He was knowledgeable and efficient and made several good recommendations. I asked him if I should order the prime rib or the lamb chops and without missing a beat he said the lamb chops. So I ordered them cooked medium, and they were probably the best lamb chops I’ve been served in a restaurant in Nashville. One exception might be midtown Cafe 30+ years ago. They were always awesome. We also ordered several specials, including the aged pork chop and the wahoo fish. Both were excellent. The place was packed and everybody seemed to be very happy. I had fibbed just a bit on the reservation and said it was my birthday. Who doesn’t love a free dessert? Best crème brûlée I’ve had in Nashville in a long, long time. The bread pudding was good not great as was the salted caramel ice cream. The trip home was delightful as I got our chauffeur to take us the long way home on Briley Parkway. We passed by Shopreiland and then the Opryland hotel. After that, there were a whole lot of trees on the way back to White Bridge Road. Rest assured it will not be 25 more years before I walk through the doors of Darfons . I could tell when I walked in that the place was all about food and they had a great handle on standards and consistency and absolute food quality. Very refreshing in this day and time. You’ll find Darfons on Elm Hill Pike very close to Donaldson Pike. Give it a try you won’t regret it.”

“I've traveled all over Mexico and I speak Spanish. When I found this place, I honestly felt like I was on the street in Aguascalientes or some place similar. Now be braced people. This is not what we think of when we go to Las Palmas or any other conventional Nashville Mexican restaurant. This place does NOT cater to gringos. It is 100% true Mexican and this is where the local Mexicans go to eat. Even the help doesn't speak English, so take your translator app. Seriously, for anyone that would like to know what it's REALLY like to eat in Mexico, this is the place. And the food is fantastic. There will be Mexican music playing on one end of the place and a Novela on the TV at the other end. The other customers will be Mexicans complete with their work clothes and straw western hats. I love it here and I promise that I'm going to be a regular customer.”

Keke's Breakfast Cafe 2278 Lebanon Pike, Nashville Breakfast • $

“Went this morning around 10:30 am on a Saturday. I knew there would be a wait. As a single diner, my wait was roughly 25 minutes. Jessica was my waitress and she was amazing. I ordered Keke's Combo which was 2 pancakes and 2 sides (you choose one item in 2 different lists). I paid an extra $3 to get my pancakes as "Banana Caramel Pecan." Also got sausage links and Home Fries for my two sides. The pancakes were huge. The $3 upgrade for the Banana Caramel Pecan was worth it. I will say that they definitely do not give near enough butter. But since I got fancy sweet pancakes, I didn't need more butter. The home fries were pan fried red skinned potatoes. They were awesome. I love potatoes prepared this way. It was also a healthy portion. There were 4 sausage links included in the order which I feel is a good portion. I feel most places only give you 2 links. My tip is if you are going with a party of 3 or more, expect a longer wait especially if you go at prime brunch times. The kitchen was still getting their rhythm so it took a little time to get the food. They just opened 8 days ago, so I totally understand that. If you get pancakes, just request the extra butter from the get go. I fully enjoyed the experience and there is so much on that menu I want to try. I will 100% be back.”
