“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!”
“The food and drinks were fantastic, our waiter was exceptional and we felt very celebrated as it was both of our birthdays. Got a complimentary chocolate cake that was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was electric, which made it hard to hear at times but other than that, exceptional experience”
“We had their breakfast & IT WAS AMAZING. The pancakes were hands down the best I have ever had. The staff were so nice as well. We will be back!”

“We were in town for just a few days. Looked for Italian near our hotel and read great reviews of Caffe Nonna. It lived up to those. My husband and I split a salad and the Nonna lasagna and the tiramisu for dessert. It was all delicious. The two types of bread were both excellent. Would highly recommend this little gem!”
“This was my first time eating here and sure won't be my last. The food was excellent! The portions are a nice size! The food just melted in my mouth!!!”
“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”
“My husband and I stopped in at Two Hands from out of town with our pup for a brunch on the patio. Although it was super busy, we got seated quickly! Emily was our server and made the experience absolutely amazing! She went the extra mile to make our dog comfortable (although he was definitely in her way), provided excellent cocktail recommendations and helped us select dishes we LOVED! Emily made our stop very special and took the time to connect with us. Our food was immaculate, so when we visited another city that featured a Two Hands as well we knew we would be back! Thank you for the best Nashville experience!”
“The Authentique is a charming French wine bar nestled in the heart of East Nashville, where the warm hospitality of owners Philippine and Alexandre sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere, combined with top-tier customer service, creates a welcoming environment for guests. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!”

“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!!”
“The food and atmosphere of this place is something you can usually only dream of. The cozy feeling when you walk in and the smell of the wood fire grill makes you feel right at home. I wish I could give this place more than five stars, if you haven’t gone you are missing out.”

“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!”
“As someone who frequents on average 20 bars or restaurants a week and is part of the industry here locally, it is with sincere passion, and honesty that I openly express my backing and support in saying Barrel Proof is the absolute best bar in this city for any local (and/or industry worker), but also a blast for tourists to come soak in what it is truly like to be “one of us”; and from there, the staff will gladly direct you to more friendly and fun spots!”
“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!”
“Brunch and Drag show were so much fun! Our bachelorette party, loved the vibe!”
“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!”

“Good quick fuel up location with a Whataburger, a large variety of snacks, with a reasonable amount of foods that are healthy alternatives to the usual amount of "Corporations-get-rich-at-the expense-of-citizen-health" foods. But that is what the general public wants so Corporations can't be solely blamed.”
“The chicken and biscuits from Raise the Roost inside the 7-Eleven on Newtown Road and Providence are, by far, the worst I've ever had. The chicken was either overcooked and dry, with burnt outsides and —likely due to improper fryer temperatures or incorrect timer settings. The coating was thick and cakey, indicating poor preparation. Even the green beans had no seasoning or taste. I recommend not using salt if you decide to season. To top it off, the bathrooms were in horrible and smelly condition. I would've returned the food if I had time. Thumbs down! I took pictures but you cannot upload”
“It is located inside the gas station. When you walk in, you want to go to the left. Now you have your cashier in front, and to the right, you'll have the options yo get snacks and drinks like any other gas station. If you want a hot meal. They do have, but if you want a little more for your money, I do recommend eating here. The prices are good and the food will put a smile on your face.”
“Riley S. was awesome for our family birthday party. There were 11 of us...5 were children so there was a lot going on. Riley S. was beyond patient with us and prompt with our drink and food orders. She made the outing fun for all!”
“Absolutely great food, great atmosphere and incredible service. Don't miss out on the experience 🌹”
“Avo in Nashville is a must-visit! The cheese platter is absolutely incredible—perfectly curated and packed with flavor. It’s definitely a must-do when you’re there. The pesto penne primavera was amazing, with fresh, vibrant flavors that really stood out. And don’t miss out on the avocado margarita—it’s a unique and delicious twist on a classic cocktail that you’ll want to try! The vibe is laid-back yet trendy, and the food and drinks are top-notch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vegan food and a fun experience!”

“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 thoroughly enjoyed my steak burrito. The steak itself didn't stand out that much but did contribute. The tacqueria salsa and Mexican rice was great. I got the chipotle tortilla - I'm not sure if I actually noticed any difference versus a regular tortilla, but I'd get it again since I enjoyed the burrito as a whole. Chips and salsa were good too - salsa bar is nice.
The line was out the door and around the corner of the building - despite liking the food I doubt I'd come back for dinner again for this reason. Hopefully lunch is better.”
“My sister, daughter, and I stumbled upon Assembling Food Hall last night before the Mumford and Sons concert at Bridgestone. We were very impressed. It was clean, spacious, and had a variety of food and drinks. It was definitely not crowded like all the bars. The prices were decent too. This will definitely be our go to spot from now on.”
“I would consider this one of the best quick food places to eat in Nashville. The food was great and the service was extremely nice and fast with orders. We had the crispy magic dumplings first which were exactly that. Magic! The other dishes were an order of noodles and pad kra pow. Both full of flavor and spice like no other. Simple sit down restaurants dont usually have these types of flavor options for under $100. Can't beat it.”

“Great dinner for four of us prior to TPAC show. Service was excellent and we really enjoyed the small plates for sharing. It was a bit noisy making conversation difficult, but food and service were top notch.”

“Our party of 10 had a spectacular evening at Folk. The ambiance was so lovely. The staff took such great care of us from beginning to end and the food was exceptional. Our waitress made such incredible drink recommendations to pair with our food as well. We will absolutely be back!”
“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!”
“I ordered, received and devoured the chili cheese burger; YUM. They piled on the sweet potatoes fries…had to bring some home though. I don’t mess around when it comes to sweet potatoes which are my favorite especially round this time of year. I will highly recommend to my friends. The ambience felt like close-knit family and close friends. Yummy 😋”

“This was an amazing food and wine journey. Do yourself a favor and get the wine pairing (if you drink) as the Somm was spot on and extremely talented! The food was so creative, fun, and delicious. The environment is engaging and fun. Honestly it was better to us then The French Laundry for creativeness, approachability and environment. Everything was simply amazing while relaxed and fun. The chefs are beyond talented, chatting with you while building and keeping their rhythm on their dishes. It was a phenomenal adventure and we can’t wait to go back!”
“My kids took me for my birthday. Walking in, the ladies at the front were very nice wishing me a happy birthday. Our waiter, Clifton, could not have been any nicer or attentive. My menu came with a Happy Birthday Anna written on it. The whole experience was really special. Everyone was just friendly and did their job over and above expectations. The food was very good. My daughter and I split a 12 oz Cowgirl ribeye which was perfect. My son got the Cowboy ribeye and he said it was amazing. The Mac n cheese was good. My DIL got the pasta primavera and she liked it. The butter cake was great and the waiter surprised me with Crème Brûlée. All very good. Great atmosphere. Definitely will be going back. Thank you for making my birthday memorable!”
“Enjoyed absolutely everything we ate! Service was perfect too. Must haves are the cotton candy bacon, lobster appetizer, wedge salad, steak. Sides were scrumptious as well. We will be back for sure! Highly recommend.”

“We came here for a girls' night out and were absolutely blown away! The restaurant offers a stunning panoramic view of the Nashville skyline, creating a beautiful ambiance. The food was exceptional! The tuna tartare, prepared tableside, was incredibly fresh with great flavor--an absolute must-try!! The duck fat fries were perfectly crispy and served with three delicious sauces, each one better than the last. The steak was cooked perfectly medium, juicy and tender, and the seared scallop on the side was a delightful addition. This spot is perfect for a girls' night out or a rom”

“Beautiful experience in a beautiful space. The open concept with the pristine kitchen right in the middle. Watching the chefs work to deliver unique presentations. Service was outstanding. It shows that all staff really love what they do. It is hard to describe the dishes, you just have to experience them. I’d recommend the feast.”
“Hands down the best all around dinner experience in Nashville. Presentation was off the charts! This was our first time visiting, they had a “Christmas Eve” menu which looked delicious but we came with our hearts set on the steak; no questions asked the kitchen was happy to adjust, we received the best steak we have tasted yet! The staff was beyond wonderful, the atmosphere was perfect. Love love loved Yolan; this will be a must have every time we visit Nashville! Thank you Yolan for the perfect Christmas Eve experience!”
“I’ve visited Halls in Nashville several times, but last night was truly the best experience yet. My sister and brother-in-law came in from Memphis to celebrate my birthday, and everything—from the food to the service—was outstanding, as always. We were also fortunate to meet the owner, Tommy, who took the time to stop by our table. He went above and beyond to make the evening feel extra special, which made the celebration even more memorable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—we’ll definitely be back! I highly recommend Halls to both locals and visitors; you won’t be disappointed.”
“What a fantastic experience. Everything we had on our tasting menu was out of this world. We kept trying to pick our favorite dish of the night but ended up agreeing that everything was on the same incredibly high level of excellence.Fantastic place to go for birthdays, anniversaries, or very special occasions. We would love to go again!”
“Excellent meal served by Dakota! Everything was great, served perfectly as ordered, prompt and professionally. We traveled in from Louisville with our only objective to eat at Jeff Ruby's and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended! Thanks again Dakota for a wonderful meal!”
“Eddie V’s Prime Seafood delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and worth every bite.
The service truly elevated the night. Our waiter, Mike D, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. He anticipated our needs without being overbearing and made the entire experience feel smooth and personal. The atmosphere was polished yet comfortable, making it a perfect spot for a special evening or a relaxed upscale meal. Consistently excellent all around and absolutely worth the visit.”
“The food was amazing! We had lomo, ceviche, chupe de camarones and aji de gallina. All the authentic Peruvian flavors! ❤️ Great service also!”

“Curry and Tikka is my favorite restaurant in my area. The food is so delicious, the people are super friendly and the desserts are incredible. I usually get a mango lassi, Delhiwalla Chicken Tikka, and the carrot dessert. I need to try their buffet, too. So, just saying…it’s so great and I don’t want anyone to miss out.”
“I can not emphasize enough that this is THE BEST VEGAN ICE CREAM ever to have come into existence. Words fail me here, so rich, the best mouth feel and a wonderful variety of flavors. I came from Michigan to Nashville with my partner and this was the highlight of the trip for me!🤤🤤🤤🤤😁”
“Overall experience was very good and highly recommend to try this place out. They have many menu options and the food was very good. Parking was an issue however there is a public parking garage right across the street and the 1st hour is free then it goes up to $12 for 2 hours. The seating wasn’t a favorite as the tables are practically right next to each other so if it’s busy you will be having breakfast with strangers and be shoulder to shoulder as you eat. They do offer free refills on drinks such as iced tea but we had to go to the bar every time to ask for a refill as there aren’t any servers checking in. Overall great experience and spent around $60 for 2 people.”
“We were in Nashville for a concert & found Little Hats online & decided to check it out because the reviews were so good. We were not disappointed at all! The customer service was phenomenal! The two beautiful ladies at the front were super friendly & helpful & very easy to talk to. The food was so good that we had to go back for more the next day to take back home to Indiana with us! The bolognese was some of the best pasta i’ve ever had! We found several things in the market area to take home & make for ourselves & the sandwiches we got for the cooler for our trek back home traveled well & were still delicious hours later. We are so glad we found Little Hats! Thank you for the awesome dining experience! 🖤”
“The bartender tonight was amazing. I had a great chat with him, and it seems he's leaving to a new adventure soon. Not great for this place, since he has a real passion for what he does, and I think they're losing a great guy. Best of luck on your new adventures! Food was about as expected, not the drinks were phenomenal!”
“Tasty southern brunch done very well. In an old home with various dining areas made you feel a little like you were eating at a friend’s home. Service was very good and made it feel like a fune dining experience.”
“The food and the service are always outstanding at Etc. I had the bread and butter (a little expensive but worth it for the almond peptic butter), the fish (delicious), and the sesame tart for dessert. It was all wonderful. The only issue there is parking, but if you keep looking, you will find a space not too far away.”
“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.

“Went to the Murfreesboro location and it was so good! Prices were fair and the service was incredible! Super friendly staff. My husband and I were very impressed!”
“Good vibes. Amazing staff. And the food… good grief. I haven’t had tapas so good since I was in Spain. Everything was absolutely amazing and the olive oil cake was out of this world.”
“This has been one of my favorites since the mid 90s. My family brought me today for Mother’s Day. Ya’ll…they killed it. Every table full, food coming out fresh and speedy fast, servers everywhere assisting one another to keep the well oiled machine working, and tons of well wishes for the day. I hope each server, cook, host, and manager is able to kick up their feet this evening knowing you did a fabulous job and made many moms extra happy today!”
“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).”
“Always consistent! Great food! Good People! Great Local Place!”
“The drinks were amazing! The menu is unique and lots of yummy options. The hush puppies w/ lump crab! Who knew?”
“We got there within 40 minutes of closing (not busy thank goodness for us). We were served quickly. We had the Detroit pizza and it was fabulous. Food was great and the service was fabulous. We are only here for two days, otherwise I would definitely go again.”
“Their Caledonia Scotch Eggs were wild — hard-boiled eggs wrapped in sausage, panko-crusted, fried, and served with Cajun mayo. Honestly one of the best spins on deviled eggs I’ve ever had.
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.
Staff were friendly and the décor nails the Irish pub look. No live music the night I visited, so the vibe was quieter, but the food carried everything. If you’re looking for a foodie win in Nashville, McNamara’s really does feel like stumbling across a leprechaun’s pot of gold.”
“We stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and were thrilled they had 2 for 1 beers! I love the vibe, the scenery, the drafts, and the bartender was very nice & helpful. Also big compliments to whoever takes care of the plants! I've never seen so many live plants thriving like that!”

“Loved this place! My friend who lives in Nashville took me here. The menu was awesome, loved the speak easy vibes. Great staff. My bacon old fashioned was to die for. I wish I had this place close to home! Would go again and again”
“Such good food at good prices. Staff was amazing, so friendly and quick. If you’re in Nashville looking for a good dinner that won’t make you completely broke, come here!”
“We meet here to watch Premier League games. They have amazing food and great drinks and you can't find a better staff anywhere in town!”
“We just left there and was so impressed.The food was great ,service was great .We will definitely be back .I love the decor.A wonderful place to take the family.”
“Had the ribs and collards yesterday evening , both were outstanding. Highly enjoyed”
“Layla was amazing!! Very friendly and attentive! Put up with our shenanigans for several hours!! Great music!!”
“I love tapas, Boqueria did not disappoint. I had red sangria and charcuterie to start. Everything was out very fast for a Saturday night. Strongly recommend wings and the sliders.”
“I have to say this was definitely an experience. I'm not a big fan of small plate servings, but the Iberian Pig has changed that. From the time we arrived to departure, the staff were great. Our waitress was just delightful, she explained the dishes very thoroughly. Ms. Sandy's you definitely know your dishes, and you gave great recommendations. Everything tasted great and prepped with perfection! The potatoes along amazed me, but the steak, omg! From one chef to another, they did their job. Will definitely be visiting again next time we visit Nashville”

“A beautiful cocktail bar with great food too! Service was great!”
“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.”
“Velvet Taco has great tasting flavor combinations, But… the tortillas are cold grocery store type. I ended up just eating the inside of my tacos with chips because the tortillas reminded me of playdoh… change the tortillas to a more authentic (cooked) tortilla and it’ll be sooo much better!!”
“Miller was our waiter. We had not dined there previously. There were four of us. We opted for the “ grub experience”. ( I think is what it was called). Miller chose a family style meal for the four of us to share. It was beyond fantastic. This topped Off a week of some fine dining and it surpassed all. We cannot wait to dine in again. Miller was absolutely outstanding in his skill and service.”
“Very nice place. Innovative, relatively small menu with a focus (though not exclusively) on seafood. High quality dishes, well prepared and presented. Excellent service. Relaxed atmosphere especially for this neighborhood (at least on the night we were there). We tried the seafood platter (only available Fri & Sat). It was plenty for 2 and could be enough for 3 people with lite appetites.”
“We loved the lamb chops & crabcakes with gnocchi. So Amazing !!!”
“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 such a friendly place. We stopped in to try a beer after an event in Nashville. Unfortunately my husband, unfamiliar with my hybrid, left it in battery mode in the parking lot. When we exited it was dying. Everyone was so helpful from patron to employee. Our primary Good Samaritan works here. He phoned a friend for information, then got the car open and charged our battery. I loved the beer, loved their mural and their story and now I am so grateful for their kindness. We need more people like these. We need to be people like this. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
“It's a tight spot with 2 floors but great ambiance. It feels like it has a lot of history. The service is good. The fried chicken and french fries are okay but the mac n cheese is pretty good. The best thing about this spot besides the staff were the performances of both live bands, SO GREAT!”
“I’ve visited Halls in Nashville several times, but last night was truly the best experience yet. My sister and brother-in-law came in from Memphis to celebrate my birthday, and everything—from the food to the service—was outstanding, as always. We were also fortunate to meet the owner, Tommy, who took the time to stop by our table. He went above and beyond to make the evening feel extra special, which made the celebration even more memorable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—we’ll definitely be back! I highly recommend Halls to both locals and visitors; you won’t be disappointed.”
“Great experience with the friendliest staff in town. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit. A local’s favorite for sure.”
“Excellent quality sushi and Korean food with the option for tacos and burgers. Free and convenient parking lot (a rarity for Germantown)”
“Great food, great vibe. The Stracciatella bruschetta was delightful and different. Highly recommend. Pizza crust was light and airy with just the right char. Quality ingredients throughout. I give them 10/10.”
“Totally enjoyed our experience at Blanco’s. Food and service were excellent. Even manager Brandon stopped by the table and refilled my empty spicy margarita. The street corn is a must. Allison our server was amazing.”
“we went to this restraunt during my husband's work party last night and it was amazing! the drinks were made so fast! they were made very well, you can tell that the bar tender really takes the drinks seriously in the best way! :) their very social and kind, they were super calm even through everyone getting their and getting drinks prepped and sent out, then the food was a solid 9/10! for me personally I'm a picky person but i loved just about everything, the servers and host were also very kind I wish I had gotten all their names to reccomend! the bar tenders name was Christian and he was truly wonderful at his job, my favorite was the creme Brule dessert, it was sweet and smooth and crunchy and perfect, I truly reccomend this place for a calm or social event where your able to truly relax in a wonderful little place ❤️ also the alcohol selection was really nicely selected i had tried the spicy sangria, pomegranate margarita, polar pear & blackberry something, they were also so good about telling the ingredients and what they like about the drinks makes it an easier selection, or they have bourbon for those who love a strong smooth drink”

“Fantastic! Great menu selection in both the appetizers and the entrees. Also, it is dog friendly on the patio which is great for any furry friends you want to bring along! Highly recommend if you want to experience Great service with a wonderful meal over in Germantown.”
“Fantastic meal! Love the menu. We sat outside but beautifully elegant ambience inside. About an hour or so before we walked over to eat I stopped in and got a menu and the ladies at the hostess podium were super kind. When we came back we were again met by a very helpful employee, Delilah. She sat us immediately and ended up being our server for the meal. She was thorough and knowledgeable. The service and the meal were perfect! We will absolutely be regularly returning and we will be requesting Delilah every time. Great experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone! P.S.- They do lunch from 12-3pm, happy hour (including apps) from 3-6pm. And apparently they have a rooftop (kid friendly) open on Friday & Saturday evenings until 12am.”
“ate here for the first time. certainly unique for Nashville. authentic the real deal”
“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!!”
“We sat at the bar and watched Allison the bartender make phenomenal drinks. We were blown away by how she knew what to add and all those drinks. They were works of art.
I highly recommend the Fox Bar and Cocktail Club and that if you can sit at the bar and watch them make the drinks you'll be blown away.”
“This was an amazing food and wine journey. Do yourself a favor and get the wine pairing (if you drink) as the Somm was spot on and extremely talented! The food was so creative, fun, and delicious. The environment is engaging and fun. Honestly it was better to us then The French Laundry for creativeness, approachability and environment. Everything was simply amazing while relaxed and fun. The chefs are beyond talented, chatting with you while building and keeping their rhythm on their dishes. It was a phenomenal adventure and we can’t wait to go back!”
“we had the best server and the atmosphere was wonderful! food was delicious.10 out of 10 for sure”
“I have been here several times. I also recommend it to anyone I know looking to experience Italy right here in Nashville. Great service and food. Highly recommend Happy Hour as well.”
“Beautiful experience in a beautiful space. The open concept with the pristine kitchen right in the middle. Watching the chefs work to deliver unique presentations. Service was outstanding. It shows that all staff really love what they do. It is hard to describe the dishes, you just have to experience them. I’d recommend the feast.”
“We had the best evening trying Iggy’s for the 1st time. Jenna our server was absolutely a delight. She helped us navigate the entire menu and everything she recommended was absolutely delicious. Everything came out perfectly. We hadn’t been out in a while and we were not rushed through our evening at all. Amazing atmosphere. Definitely will be back and I will tell everyone about this restaurant!”
Latest Reviews
“We arrived at the Nashville location. Was told there was a 20-minute wait, we said OKAY and was seated. The greeter told us that they only had 1 cook and 1 waitress. Our waitress Tasha informed us that she was the only one to serve the entire place. We fully understood and look over the menu; she served everyone their drinks in the place. She took our order. We got are food and it was outstanding. The fish was cooked perfect, and our friends had the county steak, and it was amazing. My wife had the slow cooked roast beef, and she said it was outstanding. Overall, for having a short staff, they did amazing job. Tasha went above and beyond she tasks. I just wish other places would see and do what she did for her customers. We highly recommend this place and will return again.”
“We were in town for just a few days. Looked for Italian near our hotel and read great reviews of Caffe Nonna. It lived up to those. My husband and I split a salad and the Nonna lasagna and the tiramisu for dessert. It was all delicious. The two types of bread were both excellent. Would highly recommend this little gem!”
“I would recommend this food service to all that I meet. I was pleasantly surprised. I receive big meaty fish pieces and generous portions of my side dishes. It was enough for me to make 2 meals out of my order. The beautiful lady was so nice, and we even wished each other a Happy Mother's Day. I came from Opry Mills Mall to Edd Temple Blvd and I'm happy I made the trip. I will be back.”
“9-05-25. Today my wife and I had the great fortune to meet Brandy (what a fine girl) at The Pub in Nashville. It is a beautiful English Pub, the food is exceptional, but what made our visit most memorable. was BRANDY. She was genuinely the most helpful young lady we had the pleasure to meet in Nashville. and we have met.a few. I don't feel comfortable calling her a server because she was much more than that. If you go to The Pub in the Gulch ask for Brandy. You won't be disappointed. Dan and Bonnie”
“My wife ate there tonight 10/08/2025. The food was delicious as always. The manger was great answering my many questions I had. The server was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Love the smell of peppers and onions cooking. Always a great choice to dine South of the Border.”
“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.”
“Just yet another shout out to Fortuna! New menu item is the zucchini fritter appetizers. Absolutely outstanding. I could happily make a meal out of those and the Bang Bang shrimp appetizer. We had the eggplant parmigiano on our last visit and it was delicious. As always the cocktails ae fantastic (thanks to bartenders Andrew and Marina) along with a really good wine list. Speaking of wine, we have a really busy July but hope to make it to one of the Saturday wine tastings with Lea Carleo, the General Manager and Sommelier. As always the service provided this time by Serena was excellent. If you haven't been you are mssing out!”
“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.”

“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.”
“I have brought family and friends to sixty vines a few times and really enjoy their atmosphere, food, and service! Each time I have been has been 10/10. Parking down on 5th broad and going up to the top is so quick and easy as well. The food is fresh, wine is delicious, and the atmosphere is a fun boho vibe. I have had the pleasure of having Johnathan as our server the last few times and he is so personable , fun, kind, and one of the best on broadway!! One of my favorite spots In Nashville 🍷”
“First the service! Karla was on top of her game! She met our needs, explained menu differences, made sure our drinks were full. We explained we wanted to take our time bc we never do and she made sure we did just that but kept us checked on and even had the perfect amount of socialization. We felt like a priority and could tell she makes all tables feel that way. Second, the food! Beef Wellington was spot on, salads are huge, Brussels are delicious and the steaks melt in your mouth! Great way to spend my wife’s birthday! Thanks Karla and JK!”
“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!!”
“I recently visited The Diner Nashville, a unique six-story establishment located on the corner of 3rd Avenue (around the corner from Broadway). The interior was impressively clean, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. I ordered the barbecued chicken club with fries. While the barbecued chicken club was a bit messy and didn't quite hit the mark as the best sandwich I've ever had, the fries were exceptional and definitely stood out as the highlight of the meal. The service was fast and friendly, adding to the positive experience. Prices were reasonable, and the bathrooms were well-maintained and clean. Overall, The Diner Nashville offers a decent dining experience with great service and good value for money. I would definitely consider visiting again, especially for those fantastic fries!”

“We went for our anniversary, the very first restaurant I’ve ever been to that actually acknowledged it after asking at the reservation! The staff was awesome! The waitress was friendly, attentive and was just perfect! The food was outstanding with portion sizes just a little bit bigger than we could eat which I like, not so much I have to take half home. And the best part was when our waitress brought out a dessert and wished us a happy anniversary! It was a perfect chocolate covered chocolate mousse, perfect size for us to share! We’ll definitely be going back!”
“Love this slightly off Broadway location!!! We have been a couple times now since they opened. Most recent being in February when I went with my daughter to celebrate her 21st Birthday. Daniel on the VIP team was great. He was able to accommodate us very last minute. Maddy our server was fantastic, very attentive and was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.”
“What a great experience! We stopped here for breakfast after a red eye flight. At first we were not sure if it was open to the public because it’s in an office area. But we are so glad we persisted.
The atmosphere is really warm and inviting, with options for sitting outside or inside on a comfy couch.
Our server was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the meals this place prepares. She also came to the table to make sure everything was OK. In a small place? Unheard of! So touching!
And the food was delicious! We ordered the morning melt and the corned beef hash. They were both perfect. Capping the meal were two amazing cups of coffee (cappuccino and americano). We will definitely be back!!”
“New spot downtown!! Been open for about 6 months and the vibe / atmosphere is AWESOME! Small downstairs bar right as you walk in, but if you go upstairs it really opens up. Went on a Saturday night with a group of 12 as pre-drinks before a dinner and it was the perfect spot to do so.”
