I asked a month or so ago for places to visit. Nashville was mentioned and my husband and I decided we liked that idea. We have been googling different ideas as to what to do while we vacation there. It is this coming weekend(actually Thursday-Sun) and I would love your take on it as well!
Looking for restaurants and hot spots you've enjoyed. I'd love a BBQ joint or a really good steak house.
Thanks for sharing ideas. The past couple of weeks have been rough with my FIL passing away. This is such a welcomed break!

Jack's BBQ would be my first choice for a good bbq meal with a long history here in Nashville. As far as a steak house, there are too many to mention and depends on what your definition of steak house means. Do you want a $20 steak or $100 steak? Nashville's food landscape is growing as fast as the city.
Husk restaurant is a good place with an upscale southern feel (reservations strongly suggested). They use fresh southern ingredients and the chef is a James Beard award winner. You won't be disappointed and it is a few blocks from Broadway in downtown.

Husk and Sinema are my favorite nice restaurants here. Call NOW for reservations! They book out weeks in advance (especially Husk) but you may do ok since it's just the two of you if you can be flexible. They aren't necessarily steak places though. But amazing. DH has had steak at Husk and he said it was delicious.

Oh and we moved here from Memphis & haven't found amazing BBQ. I wouldn't bother, but that's just my opinion! We were spoiled in Memphis with the incredible choices  Nashville is not known for BBQ, more of a trendy food scene here. |

We liked demos for dinner, try too walk onto the Nash trash tour, it was our favorite part of our trip, and make a trip to los paletas for popsicles. I don't even like popsicles and I had two and tasted four more!

I just want a delicious steak. I will look up Husk today. We are so excited to be going away as a couple. We are trying to pack a lot of "date nights" into these few days. That is why I'm cool with price. My husband loves a good food experience.....why he only ways 170 I will NEVER know!!! It's not fair! |

Also..... Any opinions on Walk Eat Nashville? It is a tour that you can do. It has 6 restaurants to showcase the area. One is Nashville East and the other is Vanderbuilt area. There is a third, but it's only done on Wednesdays and we won't be there for that!

Urban Grub and Edley's barbeque on 12th Ave. south are tasty. 12 South is a shopping/food destination these days. It's a good place for a food walk.

Don't know why this slipped my mind earlier but there is the Nash Spring Bash at Centennial Park on Sunday from 11-5. There will be music and a food truck meet up along with some local vendors. The weather is suppose to be perfect for a day at the park.

Excellent. Going to Nashville in late July for a work-related conference, so I'll be following this thread!

Not sure if you listen to XM radio but the Highway is broadcasted from there. Tootsie's is across the street. On Friday's they do a show called Music Row Happy Hour and you can get in the stand-by line if you don't have a reservation. They recommend against the pedal tavern. Ha ha.
I think you'd do ok to hit any bar on Broadway if that's your thing. Have fun. I hope to go from CA when DD turns 21 in 2 years. I love country music!

I have OCD when it comes to planning a trip. I want everything planned out and in order. For some reason I'm not doing that with Nashville. I'm ready to chill out and go with the flow. I'm really looking forward to hanging out!

For BBQ I like Edley's on 12 South, a great street of eateries - most with outside seating. Plus - walk to Sprinkles after dinner and get dessert from their cupcake ATM. (It's also the Street where Reece Witherspoon's Draper James boutique is located).
For a great steak I like Stony River Steakhouse and Grill, or J Alexander's - both on West End, down the street from Vanderbilt.
If you have a chance to visit Centennial Park on Sunday (as posted above) that promises to be fun.
If you like Mexican, I highly endorse Chuy's at 19th and Broadway. Their jalapeño ranch dip with chips is amazing.
So many great places to eat in Nashville - it's hard to narrow it down! I hope you have a really fantastic time.

We visited in November and LOVED Hattie B's Hot Chicken. I don't do "hot," so I ordered mild and it was absolutely delicious. Not much in terms of ambiance, but that's part of the charm. Can't wait to go back!

I'm sitting in Edley's as I type and I have to say.....YUM! WE LOVED OUR MEAL. WE love this vibe.... doors all open,bars hopping and the food was delicious. I'm arguing to my husband that we have to try to find the cupcake ATM that was mentioned up above. We have no room, but you only live once!
Thanks for the food place ladies!

Can't wait to go back! OMG..... We waited an 1.5 hours and I have to say it was the most amazing chicken ever!!!! You're right about the ambiance....but that meal was made to be served from that style restaurant! Perfection!! This would be on the "must do again list" |
