The 4 of us were a happy bunch as we walked back from a wonderful set at The Listening Room. We weren't ready to go back to the Hotel, but didn't want full loud Broadway Honky Tonk either. We had read somewhere that Acme Feed & Seed (in an historic 1890 building) offered a quieter alternative. We gathered around a nice table near the stage on the first floor, and maybe there were a dozen other people there? Yet, on the next Broadway block things were in full swing? We weren't complaining, but wondered why? The first floor at Acme has been described as a high-energy "Funky Tonk" atmosphere featuring a main stage for live music, a large bar, and fast-casual dining. Our band during our stage was even a little different than that, and what an enjoyable group is was! The Mudbug Stompers brought us the sounds of old-time jug bands, Dixieland jazz, blues, trains, baseball, and crawfish boils. Although this is a Nashville Band, we could have easy been on or around Bourbon Street in NOLA. I was particularly impressed with the trumpet player and the lead singer who played a mean mandolin. Add the string base, sax, and fiddle, and we experienced a very impressive whole. We were highly entertained and engaged, and we're still talking about the experience! read more

We held a networking event here and we weren't sure how many people we would have the team and space were really flexible which we really appreciated. We had about 70 people and the space worked really well. If we hold an event in the city again we will use this space. Nice and central too. read more

I would come back for sure, the food and cocktails were excellent. I had the "Hatchery" curry chickpeas and Acuff Rose Martini. A+! Service did a great job handling our large party. The rooftop patio has a nice view. Decor, tables and chairs, and disposable flatware aren't great, but worth overlooking. read more

We had a good experience at ACME! My group and I were looking for a place to eat on Broadway that wasn't too loud. They had a band playing but it was old country and they were amazing! The food was great and the service was very friendly! We had the nachos, the burger, the chicken fried chicken, the wings, and the noodles. No one had any complaints, nor was there any food left over!! I personally recommend the ACME burger, it was so juicy and delicious. I recommend ACME! Pro tip: rumor is they have sushi on the second floor. We'll be checking that out next time! read more

Went to downtown Nashville on a Tuesday night, avoiding the crowds from the weekend; and decided to go and try Acme Feed & Seed. We were not disappointed. The chicken fried chicken was amazing! Gravy was very flavorful and the Mac-n-cheese was very good and a huge portion. Food was spectacular. After our meal we went to the rooftop for a couple drinks and to just unwind a bit. The view was amazing and the breeze was nice as well. Spent some quality time with family and just enjoyed the atmosphere. I added a few pics from the rooftop. It was nice. Although we are not about the nightlife downtown, this place is family friendly and everything about it was enjoyable. Definitely check out Acme Feed & Seed when visiting downtown Nashville! Ya'll enjoy! read more

This place has alot of potential. I bet it's busy on weekends. We went on a Monday night. No food or bar on the rooftop. Have to get it on the main floor. They also close the food pretty early. They actually kindly kicked us out before 10:30 because the band was done and very few patrons. We understood but felt rushed. Bartender was fantastic. Super nice! We just had drinks and they were nice. The views on the rooftop show both the river (bridge and football stadium) and Broadway. Super cool at night. read more

Fun place. Open balcony with great view of river. Very nice bartender. Inside there is a radio station, shop, bar, and restaurant.

Acme Feed & Seed was our leading Nashville, Tennessee dinner. Before visiting Nashville, Tennessee both Yelp and YouTube boasted about their rooftop level that overlooks Broadway and the Cumberland River. However, my real life dining experience here would be very different from my virtual visits. My Dad,Brother,and Myself ended up dining in the street level, which is the lowest of the three levels. The best way I can describe the street level is it being a living honkey tonk museum. Located at the easternmost edge of Broadway and overlooking the Cumberland River, the Acme Feed & Seed building has a rich history that goes back to 1890 when it was built. It spent several years as a feed store. It was in 2014, that the Acme Feed & Seed of this business listing opened. When we entered Acme Feed & Seed from the easternmost point of Broadway, a tall skeleton wearing a cowboy hat greeted us. Just like the skeleton, the place was dead when we visited on Monday, June 23, 2025 in the late afternoon. The skeleton was the only one to greet us. In my opinion, this business has an impersonal ordering system where you have to scan a QR code at the table, order the food at the bar, then bring your drinks to the table. The only time that I interacted with the staff was when they cleaned the table. This system differentiated from the majority of the restaurants we dined at in Nashville. Taking into consideration that Nashville is known for their fried chicken, I ordered the Rule the Roost Hot Chicken Sandwich with fries. It cost $17 plus tax. I also ordered a Coke that came in a plastic cup. In hindsight, I should of ordered the beer. The chicken sandwich was solid. I added taste and spice to it by pouring on South of 505 sauce, Acme Spicy Roasted Sauce, and Sriracha sauce . Additionally the fries were good. In my opinion where Acme Feed & Seed shines is by it being a local business that provides an interesting place to eat, drink, and hang out. What is neat is that each of the three floors has its own atmosphere. From my research, the rooftop has more of a party atmosphere with awesome views of Broadway and the Cumberland River. And it is my understanding that every level features a stage. From my personal experience, the street level has more of a live museum environment. The proceeding photos are visual proof. This includes an Acme Gift Shop that celebrated its history. When we dined here, the honkey tonk vibe was on pause. The stage performers were missing in action. I thought that honkey tonk is all day long entertainment. Instead of a live performer, I overheard Grateful Dead songs on their soundsystem. This kind of fit in with the skeleton in a cowboy hat that greeted us. Instead of honkey tonk and lively, it was a uniquely historic and laid back dining experience with solid food. read more

I really liked this place! Pound for Pound, this is probably the best food on Broadway. I think its kind of advertised more as a place to eat vs a place to drink (though you can do that). They have a few different eateries in there which is a little confusing, but the main floor was country chicken scene. Thats kind of what you are looking for, right? My chicken sandwich was excellent and I got a local beer which was pretty tasty too. They also had live music which was loud, but not blaring loud. It was an old fashioned country band with fiddles and all which was lots of fun. Lots of history in this building and well worth checking out! read more

I was just there a few weeks ago and returned for brunch with a friend. This places food is so good compared to most places in the area. This time, I had the best chicken and waffles. The chicken was crispy, not over battered, and cooked perfectly. It was dry at all the waffle was warm and crisp. My friend had the breakfast sandwich. It was an everything bagel with avocado, arugula, scrambled egg, and bacon. She thought it was great also. I will probably eat here every time I visit Nashville. read more

We stopped by here on our first day in Nashville. This is at the very beginning of the Honkytonk Highway and has gorgeous views of the Cumberland River and the pedestrian bridge.  The place is spread across 3 floors, and the ambiance is different at each floor, which gives you an opportunity to pick and choose your vibe. The first floor has live music and is generally very loud and lively. The 2nd floor has a slightly calmer vibe; there's also much relaxed seating on this floor, and finally, the rooftop has a bar and plenty of tables and also has a relaxed vibe. Food can be ordered on the first and second floors, while drinks are available on each floor.  We stopped by all 3 floors, started at 1, then went to the rooftop and finally stopped at 2nd to grab some dinner. We got the lobro sandwich (grilled ahi tuna sandwich) and the rule the roost (hot chicken sandwich), both of which came with a side of fries. The food was pretty good; however, the wait was quite long, both to place an order and for the food to be served. read more

The food was so good! I had the catfish and grits and my husband had the redneck lo mein. The food came out hot and was super fresh.

Came on a Sunday evening around 5pm, wasn't too busy at all, we ordered at the bar and got our food quickly. There was a mistake with my friend's order and they were super kind about it and fixed it right away! The regular fries and dipping sauce were EXCELLENT!!!! My pork tacos were good, but could've used a little more meat. Once we got our food we went to the rooftop which was nice. I was overall pleased with my experience! read more

Great experience! Our group was starving after a long flight that morning and popped in here with no reservation. We ordered drinks and food with the bar and got a number. Food was brought out once it was made so the only downfall was everyone wasn't eating at the same time. The bbq was DELICIOUS and ordered the house salad with ahi tuna and it was so fresh. Would definitely come back here if we're back in Nashville! Was also great for a large group! read more

We recently hosted an event at ACME with about 20 fraternity brothers from college. It was a great atmosphere and everyone had an outstanding time. The ACME Team found an area to rope off that was the perfect size for our group. We also had our own servers to take care of us and everyone was very accommodating. We're planning on doing it again in the future. read more

Another great Honky Tonk bar. I walked through the strip and this was near the end close to the river. The moonshine slushy was amazing but was too weak for me so I had to add a shot of whisky. Made it 10 times better. The aioli for the fries were amazing. read more

We went to Acme feed and seed for my daughter's cheer squad to line dance. Went for a non alcohol drink for me and my wife and recieved the worst bartender service i have ever experienced in 49yrs of my life. The bartender acted like i didnt even exist. Very slow night. People would walk up while im standing there and she would serve them while they stand next to me. I literally had to verbally check her before she should me any attention. Made me went to dump everyones drinks on her. Complete POS read more

Fun place at the end of Broadway and next to the river. 3 floors of bars and food service available on 1 and 2. Live music, of course, on the first floor and rooftop bar on 3. Lots of seating and room to move around on the rooftop and the atmosphere is lively. Burger was good and hit the spot but not exceptional. Hot Chicken bites were not as hot as I come to expect from Nashville. Catering more to the less tolerant palates. Service was solid and I'd come again to enjoy the atmosphere and music. Worth a stop to try it out. read more

I found myself at Acme Feed & Seed for an after-work event with my colleagues as part of the conference we were attending. A few of us went exploring on Broadway the night before, so we passed Acme by - and when we landed in Nashville I noticed there was a version of it in BNA. Anyway - that being said we were looking forward to checking this place out and absorbing more of the downtown aesthetics. Acme is a venue space which sits at the foot of Broadway in downtown Nashville. The space is super large - there are at least three levels of space that each contain bars and can be used for a variety events. Some of the levels were furnished with couches, tables, chairs, etc while others were more open and could be used as dance space. At the top is a rooftop are with yet another bar and great views of the river as well as Broadway. Our event included access to a few of their cocktails which were all pretty good. We were also served food - nothing too Southern or Nashville-centric per se, but solid American fare like chicken, short ribs, salad, etc. The food was solid - nothing amazing but nothing bad. Overall, I had a good time at Acme. While the food was kinda run-of-the-mill, the vibes were on, the drinks were good, and the staff was friendly. I can totally see this place coming alive depending on the type of event being held here, and I wouldn't hesitate returning the next time I'm in Nashville. read more

I try to give everyone a shot unbiasedly after reading the reviews. I should have gave them more weight than i did. Pretty much what everyone is saying with similar stars is accurate. The food was ok, the wings i got could've been cooked more. The sauce was ok but after the 3rd wing the flavor got old and made my stomach uneasy (Alabama white sauce). Fries weee good. We sat at the bar on the first floor. The bartender was lacking in timing with checking in and forgot to make my drink after i ordered it. I walked up to her and she made it. But.. it came in a plastic clear cup. Im going to leave that statement there. Entrainment was great! A1, wouldn't change a thing. Ambience was chill and inviting. Although the host was a little upfront at first. But friendly after the first sentence lol. Roof top great views. Can't comment on the other floors. read more

My review is for the gift shop that is located in here. I stopped by to take a look and the employee was very friendly. They had sooo many cute trinkets and souvenirs that I could not contain myself........ Prices are reasonable and you can find an assortment of cute girlie items. T-shirts, kitchen supplies, ornaments, stickers, sweaters, candles, jewelry, and so much more. I ended up walking out with a cute cow Christmas tree ornament (14.99) and a cropped shirt. (35.00) The employee checked me out quickly and was friendly. read more

From Chicago, in Nashville for the week and someone we met told us that Acme is where the locals eat.

This spot was recommended by several people so we obviously wanted to check it out while in Nashville! I was so intrigued by the Redneck Lo Mein and am so glad I ordered it- seriously so good! Others in my party ordered the Ike and Mike's Nachos, Rule the Roost chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, and the burger. All of our food was delicious. The tables have tons of sauce options, which I appreciate. They have several bars on every floor and lots of drink choices. We ended our visit on the rooftop with a drink while taking in the views. It was great! I highly recommend this spot. We were able to find something for the kids in our group, too, even though they don't have a kids menu. All of the staff were very friendly and our order came out quickly! read more

We visited Acme every day we were in Nashville on this recent trip. The service was great, food was good, drink options plentiful, and really great views from the roof top.
