18 Best Southern Restaurants near Nolensville

“We had lunch here today. There are several things that could stand a little improvement. First of all the food descriptions on the menu. The chicken and sourdough dumpling soup does not indicate that there is cheese in the soup. The dumpling dissolve in the soup and cause the soup to become very thick and sour tasting. Please leave the cheese off or put it on the side. It too melts into the soup and gives an off taste. Did not enjoy at all. We love chicken salad, but the chicken salad had so much pepper in it that it was so hot that it was too spicy to enjoy. The sourdough rolls were delicious. Also, the young lady at the register should tell you to pick up you silverware at the drink station when checking out. Just a helpful hint. Will give this another try.“

“We were in town for an event and looking for a place to eat that was fast, casual, and good food. They delivered…plus some! We ordered a club with potato salad and shrimp & grits. It’s hard to find good shrimp and grits outside of the low country…these were delicious! Huge shrimp and grits cooked just right and seasoned perfectly. The club was very large and super tasty…and the potato salad was homemade-both great. The service was super friendly and accommodating, parking was plentiful and the entire restaurant, including restrooms, was clean. From the other plates I saw coming out…they all looked really good. The chicken and waffles looked to be a popular dish and looked to be something I must try next time. What a great place. Casual, super fresh and delicious, fast with friendly service. Definitely recommend.“

“Went here 2x in about 2 weeks. First time they were under staffed, kind of forgot about us. Manager stepped in and hooked us up to ensure we at least ended on a positive note. Their chicken ? is great. Had their sweet and spicy chicken sandwich both times. Amazing. Better than Hattie Bs. Great place for the fam also. Really enjoyed it. Exciting to see a restaurant that actually cares, has happy staff, saw cooks high five each other. Must be a good work environment to see that in this demanding of a field. Kudos to the team and management. They probably need a raise.“

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

“The chicken is GREAT!! I get the extra hot and it's nice to see someone actually knows how to make spicy chicken! They're always friendly. I recommend going either super early or after the rush hour because this place fills up FAST.“

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

“I absolutely love Bones fish and more. Service is always friendly and the food is delicious like it is made with pure love and family tradition. The catfish sandwich is my favorite. Their fries are delicious, the Cole slaw (creamy sweet), and don't pass up the spaghetti (it's on the sweeter side and peppery, which I like). I recently got the caramel cake and it is so fluffy and fresher baked with melt in your mouth icing. The fruit tea is great to wash it all down with. Don't pass up this place. If you see it, get in line. The delicious made-with-love food is worth the wait.“

“First time to Nashville, girls weekend/celebrating an intimate baby shower, visiting family and friends, AND an ABSOLUTELY fantastic luncheon at Mere Bulles who hosted our baby shower! I can't say enough! Meghan, who coordinated our beautiful afternoon luncheon was top notch, from the flowers on the table to the sweet private room she had ready for us! And then there is Bob, our waiter! He shared the history of the beautiful mansion and provided impeccable service! The food and cocktails were outstanding! We loved everything about this place! 5 STARS all around!I hope the happy couple have their wedding celebration at Mere Bulles! Honestly, if you live in or near Nashville, and have not been, GO! I wish we had someplace like this back in northern Illinois!“

“We were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is typical, inviting environment. It had been a long road trip so needed a cocktail. "The one that slaps" is delicious and they definitely made it to slap. Ordered appetizers , brisket Rueben and Dirty Bird. All was delicious!“

“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“

“I went back yesterday ?. I got Lauryn lemon basil and Fruity Fran.As long as the nutritional information is correct I will be able to continue to loss weight eating here daily.Next week I plan on posting my weight loss journey while eating here daily at the Smyrna, TN location ***I placed a alucart order. They put almost everything into 1 Togo container. That's not what I needed or how I asked for it. I guess they assumed everything was for me because I'm fat.I went inside because I wanted to ask if they would allow me to sample a few of the chicken salad's. I've never had chicken salad in my 56yrs on earth. They said ? sure. That was awesome because I never would have ordered the chicken salad without knowing if I would like it. Now they have added a extra daily customer. Win win‼️ The cookies are not good and I hate pickles and the smell of pickles. I will have to remember to tell them to leave that out and give it to someone else.I'm so happy about this healthier fast food option. Plus I told my coworkers about Chicken Salad Chick and they want me to start picking them up salads when I go. They don't have a CSC near them like I do.“

“Omgoodness, let me tell you!! This place right here, this place, is the best meat and 3 I've ever eaten at period! I had the BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes w/gravy and macaroni/cheese with a slice of cheese pie! Oh my, so good! The only problem is I had to go back to work and I was ready for a nap! But damn guys if you're reading this you need to try this place!! You won't be disappointed!!!“

“So far one of the best bbq joint I been, the bbq sauce is good the spice one just good enough ti give you that little bit . Brisket, ribs and sausage are cook to perfection flavor of smoke in the point. Four stars just because the pull pork I take Togo was little bit small por the price but maybe just me lol“

“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.“

“Food was pretty good. Chicken tenders were cooked perfectly but could’ve used a little bit of seasoning. Floor was a little sticky under my feat where I was sitting. Server seemed like his job was a pit stop and he’d be moving on to better things in the near future, but still did his thing.Overall experience was decent. “The little things” kept it from 5 stars.“

“You know what you're getting before you go in. You know what you're getting and you will like it. Things change there only a little bit very infrequently. That's my experience going to these places coast to coast.. This one did not disappoint at all! Everyone was nice, and the food was good, and the tea was warm and sweet. Although they did run out of mashed potatoes on a sunday afternoon. I'll still go back, though. The food was more than decent, and they were super nice.“

“As with any Cracker Barrel restaurant, the menu is decent, and the quality of food depends on who is cooking and how busy the restaurant is. It's a hit or miss when it comes to having a great meal or just an okay meal. Portions are small, and they skimp on little things that would make the dining experience better. As a long-time customer, it's natural to see the cost cutting measures that have been implemented. Overall, I still recommend this establishment.“

“We had a wonderful time at The Honeysuckle last night. The food is always fun and we like the convivial but relatively quiet atmosphere. Last night was especially enjoyable because of Ashley. She was incredibly thoughtful, efficient, and extremely pleasant service. Really impressive skills. I haven't experienced such perfection of service in a long time. It really enhanced our whole experience. During the week they have a great happy hour, too, but you must sit in the bar area, I believe. Anyway, great place!“
