47 Best Seafood Restaurants near Old Hickory

“Hands down the best chicken I’ve ever had. Also the sweetest people working/ own it. I’m moving back to Texas soon and I will probably miss this place the most. Get the wings extra hot and get the fried corn extra hot as well. Get extra fried corn“

“A trip back to the golden age of nightclubs. A real prohibition/film noir vibe. Top flight warm and friendly service from bar and waiting staff. Bar manager Rhys is right across the whole operation. Also really knowledgeable about the cultural history of the venue - which has been rocking it since 1948. Incredible music from sax player / Nat King Cole voiced Derek Williams, plus singers Laura Mayo and Dianne Sherrill fronting a superb jazz combo led by a highly charismatic pianist. The burlesque show is end to end class with elegance and humour balanced perfectly by co producers Jonny Gowow (musical director) and Tessa Mendoza (hostess / lead dancer). Food also of equally high standard. The prime rib is a near religious experience!“

“This was our first time going some super fancy. The atmosphere was absolutely breathtaking and the skyline view of Nashville! The service was fantastic and our server was so helpful with helping us decide what to get!! Lastly the food was HEAVENLY, will definitely go back again“

“This place was amazing. Very grown and sexy and I loved the mysterious element to it all. No phones or photography are allowed once you actually make it downstairs into the House of Cards. The magicians were skilled and made the evening light and airy. The food was delicious and very upscale which matched the dress code required. We went here for Valentine's day and we would definitely return.“

“Jeff Ruby’s is a culinary experience from the time you walk into the door till the time you leave. The ambience is unmatched and the service is spectacular. Donovan and his team explain the menu until our mouth started watering. The steak was cooked perfectly in the sides are great portions 10 out of a 10 experience highly recommend“

“This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! Our server, Mark, has been with Eddie V's for more than 25 years. Very knowledgeable and attentive. Our steaks were probably the best we've ever had. They have a 3 story, glass wine cellar and the 3 story light fixture in the center of the restaurant is beautiful.Be prepared to sell off one of your children to pay for dinner, but it will be one of the best dining experiences you'll ever have!“

“We always bring out of town company and celebrate birthdays here but never again. They put us in a room with 3 tables set up for 4 each and one real long table for about twenty, The table behind us was so loud as was their waiter, we couldn't carry on a conversation Our guests were people from outside America and we would have liked to have been able to enjoy a nice meal and conversation with them. When did Urban Grub become a zoo? I can't believe the little regard shown the 3 separate tables as looking at all of our faces the dining experience was totally unacceptable . Whoever arranged for small parties to be sharing space with an obnoxiously loud party needs more training. Our waiter was good only because neither of us could hear each other and had to continually repeat our request because he couldn't hear us. When he could hear us he was very attentive and an excellent server This experience should NEVER occur in a fine dining establishment as the Urban Grub is known for.UPDATE: Husband and I returned for my birthday as I trust the oysters being shipped almost daily to Urban Grub. We spoke with Jeremiah and he apologized profusely for the situation unfortunately exposed to on our last visit. He advised if we are ever unhappy with our dining experience there to let him and/or the hostess know immediately. This time around our experience was as it has been in the past...great. Jeremiah did give us an appetizer for a gift and a birthday dessert that they seem to do for birthdays. Thanks again and we'll be back.“

“We tried Henrietta Red today, based on a recommendation from Southern Living magazine. Everything we had was delicious. I had the roasted oysters with tomato chili sauce, gulf shrimp, and my husband had the sourdough French Toast. It was all delicious! Highly recommend!!!“

“I may have had the best meal of my 55-year life! I had the scallops (off-menu special) and my husband had the pork chops. What an amazing explosion of flavors in both dishes! Lobster bisque was subtle (not too salty) and rich - so good! And the service was off the charts fantastic! Props to Max and Andrew! Delicious wines and great live music, which wasn't too loud. We could still talk easily. The only cons were the Brussels sprouts, which are brought out as a complementary extra, but they were just steamed and lightly seasoned. I like Brussels sprouts, but these were simply not great (like why bother?). And the seating was not super comfortable. Bench seat was hard - per my husband - and my chair was really low and the table had a large pedestal bottom, so between those two and my long legs, I had to sit sideways. But it won't stop us from coming back. The restaurant itself is beautiful! Excellent meal and lovely evening!“

“⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This place deserves every bit of praise you see on these reviews. Crazy amounts of crab for the price extremely well seasoned and sweeter crab than any place I've been to in Nashville. Very conveniently served as well in a Togo container in case you don't finish. You would easily be paying 150$ more at any other restaurant. Happily left in a food coma. The owner and staff are extremely friendly too, makes you feel at home. Love this place and it's going to become a staple.“

“I’ve eaten in many of the best restaurants in the world, including luxury cruise lines. Lunch at Locust in the 12 South Nashville was the greatest culinary experiences of my life. The menu, Service, beverages, absolutely everything was a taste bud sensory magnificence. Be patient with the reservation process as they really are always sold out. Don’t be afraid to go on a waitlist if you can’t find your time. You will love Locust.“

“Gumbo Bros is the BEST! The food and service are top notch. I love being able to get real Louisiana flavor! The vibes are so good and I’ve basically made this place my CHEERS. If you are in Nashville, or just visiting, make a stop at Gumbo Bros!“

“YES, YES, YES!! This gorgeous lady serves completely outstanding fresh, delicious, homemade seafood meals. The LOBSTER ROLL is absolutely out of this universe!! We also had lobster Alfredo and lobster bisque...all were phenomenal. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS LOCAL BUSINESS.❤️“

“From the moment you step in, the vibe is welcoming and trendy, setting the stage for a memorable meal. The menu is a delightful mix of classics and innovative dishes, each one bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service is top-notch! We loved our waiter, Abigail! Whether you're a local or a visitor, Marsh House is a must-try for anyone looking for a stellar food in Nashville. Highly recommend!“

“Great experience! Fantastic food (they even ask how spicy you would like it, at least for the butter chicken!) and fantastic service. Excellent portion sizes for the price. Very clean, bright, environment. Will definitely visit again! Thank you Bawarchi!“

“You absolutely have to try the mind-blowing fish at uncle Bud's! Trust me, it's an experience you won't want to miss. And hey, if you want to see more of me in action, head over to my awesome YouTube page, BigPapiAdventure. You won't be disappointed!“

“This place is amazing!! Went for a birthday and every staff member we encountered wished a happy birthday. Our server Brian was knowledgeable and personable, great service!The food was beyond delicious. We ordered the swordfish, schnitzel, hush puppies, oysters, calamari and would recommend all those dishes!“

“A HUGE thank you to Star, a hostess at the front that assisted us in getting a reservation. We had a very long day of travel and were eager to get a nice meal. Star helped us get a table and a time that worked for us, got us seated and acclimated when we arrived, and was super accommodating and nice to my kid. Food is great, the decor and ambience is exceptional. Bar service might have been a big sluggish but the quality cocktails made it worth the wait. Thank you again to Star- our Nashville travels are complete and her attention/service sticks out as the best experience we had service wise throughout the week!“

“What an outstanding restaurant. We went for my wife's Birthday and everyone from the host to the bus staff were outstanding. Everyone stopping by saying happy birthday ?. Great atmosphere, outstanding food and service just an all around must visit. Can't wait to come back next year.“

“This is a cool friendly place! The food was so fresh and delicious!! Ozzy the cook was amazing and knew exactly what he was doing. We met the owner Frank and he was so nice and welcoming. Our server was sweet and overall this place is awesome. Go check them out. And the cocktails were delicious too. I had the beef quesadilla and the husband had the beef and bean burrito. We also had the chip sampler and the chorizo gravy biscuit which is also great!“

“Everything I have had has been fantastic . Prices seam fair. Drinks are 2 for one tonight. Service was quick. And the drinks had a punch. Best interior I've seen in Nashville. Had the shrimp taco. Best I've ever had. Enjoy Nashville“

“We had a party of four. Two of us had fish and the other two steak and pork tenderloin. Each meal was off the charts tasty. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which just added to the good experience. The owner and Chef came around to our table to check on things, which was very nice also. We all highly recommend Catch Land & Sea.“

“Husband and I did bar dining on a Sunday with 815 reservations, great staff to patron ratio and we never were waiting on anything or felt like we were being ignored. Complementary valet with the hotel is included, I could see how if it were a busier evening or you did the prefixe dinner how you can go over that time and possibly end up paying, but we did not have an issue. Mushroom soup to start with was absolutely delicious and beautiful presentation. Husband had tile fish entrée and I had pork medallions which were both definitely tasty, but both a little over salted and the spice rub on the outside of the pork was a little over powering, but still a tasty flavor. Very delicious whiskey sour and Manhattan cocktails. No dress code is enforced but everyone seemed to have business casual/cocktail attire on, but there was only about eight other people in the restaurant. Saw several people around us getting oysters and caviar, so definitely would go here if that is your thing“

“My wife and I had ordered some crab, shimp, and oysters this past weekend. Everything we ordered was delicious and very fresh. The prices are very fair, I've easily paid way more for lesser quality seafood around here. This place is worth a visit if you've never been before.“

“I'm so sad that I didn't take any pictures of anyone's food! We had such a wonderful evening while at Moby Dicky's! We sat outside which had a beautiful view of the lake. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The portion size was just right. Highly suggest a spicy margarita!Update: a year later! We had the spicy catfish and chicken sandwich. Both were good. The atmosphere is always great at Moby Dickys, especially those beautiful days you can sit on the patio! Make it a date night!“

“A great spot to grab a poboy sandwich. Had the catfish one and ended up with way more food than I needed. Should have gotten the half portion. Comeback slaw was uninteresting and I suggest skipping it for a different side. Loved the sandwich though. Came out fast and VERY hot (heat hot, not spicy). Would come back if I'm ever in Nashville again.“

“We had been hearing about this place for a while, and finally got to experience it. The food was absolutely wonderful. Full of rich flavor and spice. We had both the seafood soup and shrimp platter. Their in house sauce was the perfect amount of spice with an incredible flavor. The fish ceviche was fresh and perfect (tilapia). Overall we were very impressed with the low key atmosphere and great food. Absolutely we recommend this place!“

“Bob's is always a solid bet for a classic American steakhouse. I have found each restaurant to be fairly consistent no matter the location. The drinks are heavy pours, which is indicative of Bob's Steakhouse. The filet is always a good choice. Mine was perfectly seasoned. The shrimp platter is my go to every time. The shrimp are HUGE! My waiter was very friendly and talkative. The pace of service was perfect!“

“What a sweet find, Flora was the real MVP. I felt at home the moment I walked in. Trying to have a chill but saucy night with my babe. Couldn’t have chosen a better place for a date night. Every food ingredient is super fresh and appreciated. Keep on keepin on. Maybe a gringo but love what you’re doing “

“Rosie's is THE BEST restaurant in Hendersonville! It is the perfect date night spot or celebration location. The food is always amazing and the service makes us feel welcome each time. The staff makes our 5 year old son feel so welcome and they even make him a "special drink" ( sparkling lemonade) so he loves to visit Rosie's too! We love having such a wonderful place so close to home when we feel like a night out!Dietary restrictions: Can make substitutions for GF options.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Joe Muer's. Everyone we came in contact with was personable and accommodating. We ordered the Raw Bar Plateau for two and it was superb! My entree was the scallops and it was divine - a very generous portion, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. My husband had the Airline Chicken, also delicious! I had to try the tomato cobbler out of curiosity, and while it was so good, I almost had too much food. Next time I will skip the side and save room for the coconut cake. I can't forget to mention how wonderful Hileen was! 10/10 would recommend Joe Muer's when you want to treat yourself.“

“Great experience overall. Food was great. Cocktails were great. Service was great. Laid back atmosphere. We had the Crab Cake appetizer with a cup of Clam Chowder. Then we had the Fish 'n' Chips sampler and Lobster Roll with butter. Had to leave food on the plate because we were so stuffed. Next time I'm in Nashville, I will be back.“

“This was my first time eating at Carrabba’s and it exceeded my expectations. Jake was outstanding. Great customer service, attentive, and punctual. The food and dessert were all delicious. Highly recommend the lobster ravioli and tiramisu! Will definitely be coming back! Thank you, Jake!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'm only upset that I've just recently found out about this wonderful establishment! I've been twice in one week already so I'm very convinced that this is by far the best soul food establishment we have in Nashville. Hands down... I got the chicken & dressing with mashed potatoes and green beans the first time, then came back later in the week and got hot lemon pepper fried chicken wings with macaroni and cheese and greens. Both plates were excellent and now I have my new favorite spot for home cooking! Just when I thought we didn't have anymore good meat & 3 restaurants.“

“I had been wanting to try this place since they opened so I got delivery from here tonight. The food was still hot when I got it and it was good taco truck type food. They didn't forget my extra carrots and sauce and the prices are closer to what I would expect from a taqueria, hopefully they don't start raising their prices like the other similar type places in Hendersonville.“

“Absolutely wonderful! I took my husband out for dinner to celebrate his milestone 40th birthday as part of our Nashville trip, and let me tell you, it was a smashing success! The food was exquisite, the ambiance was enchanting, but the highlight of the evening was Zach! He served as our waiter, and he truly deserves a 5-star rating! Zach went above and beyond, ensuring that we were well taken care of throughout the meal. We engaged in delightful conversation, and his recommendations were spot-on! I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking impeccable service, delectable cuisine, and, without a doubt, the most divine chocolate lava cake! Thank you, Zach, for making our evening truly unforgettable!“

“Came for the experience, stayed for Amanda! Food was meh but Amanda’s jokes were top tier. We came on the cusp of a winter snow (it actually started snowing as we walked in) so there weren’t many patrons and only 2 servers. An older couple walked in after us and started to sit at at at a table vs the bar: “you’re old enough to sit at the bar and I’m fat and don’t feel like walking so don’t sit there “ Amanda called from the end of the bar ?. I’d go back for the experience.Parking: There’s paid street parking in addition to paid garages and paid open uncovered lots within walking distance“

“The flavors were amazing! Service was impeccable. Loved the decorations, like bringing the east to the west. The restaurant was also adorned with many awards that are much deserved. Best Thai I have had ever! Don't forget to ring the gong on the way out!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetable dishes to choose from. Soups, curries, stir fries. All can be made vegetarian. Also some specific vegetarian options.“

“Have been going here for 6 years off and on now when I’m in the area and this place is always excellent and consistent with their food. Never had a bad thing off the menu! It’s just top notch all the way around and def one of my fav places to eat. Servers are always great and on our recent trip we had an amazing server named Tracy specifically :)“

“The Rudder is wonderful restaurant and tropical themed bar that my wife and I have loved for years. Nestled on Old Hickory Lake, this unique restaurant offers a refreshing change of scenery that transports you to a coastal oasis. The food never fail to impress, and the service is consistently exceptional. It's the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a long day or on weekends. Furthermore, we admire the owners' dedication to supporting our community and local charities, such as the Humane Society of Sumner County. The Rudder truly embodies the essence of fine dining with a touch of philanthropy, making it a standout gem in the heart of our community.“

“The food was amazing the Mammoth burger and the big game burger were soo good. I cannot wait to come back and try everything else on the menu. Our server was phenomenal, if I'm right his name is Calvin. Moved here from Buffalo and have been looking for real food for awhile, if you want REAL food with REAL quality this is your spot. I can't wait to bring my whole family during this holiday season when they visit. Thanks for a great experience!“

“Awesome food! We WILL be back - to try everything. The owners and staff were wonderful and friendly. Cooked fresh to order. Husband had the wings and fries with the Honey Heat and it was delicious and not hot but lots of good flavor. I had the shrimp and grits. Some of the best we have had.“

“My first day here, I asked for 2 coffees to go. There was no carrier and in this hotel you need to wear a bracelet that allows you access to the elevators and is also the room key. You can guess what happened. I went back down after cleaning up and they gave me a round serving tray. The next day, Kathy was on and she went and got me a normal coffee tray from another coffee shop to use-- I used it the rest of the week. Kathy and Steven were amazing and very kind. I would highly suggest they invest in carriers. I can't be the only one this happened to!“

“Clean, the food is cooked to perfection! I love it because they have normal size wings. They wings are not obese. Let's not talk about the fish AMAZING! THE HEAT LEVELS ARE POINT ON. AT THIS PLACE I CAN ORDER MEDIUM OR HOT AND CAN EAT IT AND CAN EAT MY FOOD. The service once you have your food they come to greet you and talk to you about the service and food. These guys are amazing!!! DONT MEET ME THERE BEAT ME THERE! THE NUMBER ONE CHICKEN PLACE IN NASHVILLE. ?“

“Huge portions for $12.Food came out fast. Service was super friendly and patient with people who came because they wanted a picture with the owners from TikTok. Pork was perfectly cooked. Potato was baked all the way through. Skin was seasoned. The best baked potatoes we've ever had. Worth visiting Rivergate Mall for.“
