Only been there a couple times but loved going there both times. The food is great, the adult beverages are even better. Just wish the parking situation was better. Go during off peak times because parking is pretty much non existent. Had to edit this to a 4 star instead of 3. I know they can't control the parking situation. Just come on a boat if you got one. Plenty of parking for that. read more

Awedaddys Bar & Grill - My favorite drink. - Bars Near Me - Gallatin, Tennessee

Worst brunch buffet ever! For $20 you get runny gravy for biscuits and gravy. Cold bacon, cold sausage, cold potato wedges. Honestly never had any buffet that was worse. Sad thing is that the service was good and what a great place! read more

Excellent! One plate that is not on the lunch menu... Briskets and Macaroni / Cheese. Delicious!!!

Good was better than expected, service was quick and efficient, restaurant by the water with lots of outdoor seating read more

Great on the marina restaurant. Excellent friendly service from Syleena and food was tasty too. Bushwacker drinks are awesomeness in a cup! Listening to live music and another round of Bushwhackers read more

My husband and I are retired. We love to explore local restaurants outside of Nashville. Awedaddys did not disappoint! Great food and service by Kyle L. After our meal we found out it was Kyle's first day at Awedaddys; you would never have guessed from his knowledge of the food and beverages not to mention his attention to serving us. We will be back! read more

Visited on 4/11/26--easily one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. We waited over an hour for our food while multiple tables around us were seated, served, and finished their meals. Our waiter, Robert, was completely disengaged--he couldn't even remember if he had taken our order and was nowhere to be found most of the time. No updates, no drink refills, no basic service. Eventually, we were told they had run out of hamburgers and were waiting on a delivery. That's something you communicate upfront--not after customers have been sitting there for an hour. When I asked for a manager, she brought the food out herself but didn't apologize. The food was cold and clearly not worth the wait. At that point, we just wanted to leave. What really stands out is that no one made any effort to fix the situation. No apology, no accountability, no adjustment to the bill--nothing. Completely unacceptable experience. I would not go back and would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Food was excellent, so was the service. Bailey was awesome. Love the atmosphere. Drinks were awesome and the prices were amazing.

Cute little place by the marina. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. We got the catfish, and a couple of drinks. The cocktails were extremely weak. The catfish was delicious and fresh. The cheese grits were also good. I would go again and stick to a beer, rather than a cocktail. read more

The menu is clearly marked gluten free, which is greatly appreciated. The food and drinks were not very good, especially for $90 for two people. read more

we have now dined twice at awedaddys, gallatin, tn, and we will most probably not return. the two servers, bailey and zoe were absolutely wonderful and attentive, but nothing could make up for the meager ingredients in our 4 dining choices. although each dish was tasty, mainly disguised by queso or other cheese-based sauces, the amount of protein was dismal. we had the fish tacos, brisket taco special and the cuban, and all had far too little protein for the $16-17 pricetag! i should have taken a photo to show you how little roasted pork, white fish and brisket which was disguised in sauces and cheese. i was even charged an extra $1 when i determined that the salsa was insufficient for the chips (one meager plastic cup of no more than 2 tbsp). all mexican restaurants provide as much chips and salsa as you need, for entrees that are far less expensive. if you are going to charge prices like these, we expect and demand at least 4-6 oz of the selected protein, not just masqueraded with sauce/cheese. even your lettuce was the cheapest iceberg vs better quality romaine. your menu descriptions and list of ingredients are indeed attractive and luring, but the meal does not live up to the expectations. i rarely offer such a powerful negative response, but your future patrons deserve to be warned in advance of their visit to spend hard earned dollars. feel free to contact me at 612-718-4534, if you care to discuss further or try to remedy this performance. read more

If you want a good brunch, especially one that comes with a Bloody Mary bar- this is the place! The brunch spread includes crispy bacon and the best French toast sticks you've ever had! The fresh fruit was actually sweet, too. It's all technically considered outdoors, making it great for going with kids. The noise level is moderate, no one is going to complain about a couple toddler screeches. Our server was excellent, walked us through regular menus and the all-you-can-eat brunch options. You know the places where you can dress up or down, go alone, take a date or family and just feel covetable? That's Awedaddys. Definitely recommend. read more

Love this place! Unlike the typical marina restaurant, they actually make good food, not just something marginally edible because they know you aren't driving anywhere. Brunch is great, there's an omelette station, buffet, and you can get a glass of vodka and make your own Bloody Mary. There's also a burger, the delicious shrimp Brekkichanga, and a bunch of Benedicts although I think they could make a better Hollandaise if they wanted to. Great atmosphere right on the water, cool bar, local drafts, great servers! read more

I am a huge fan of restaurants at marinas and Awedaddy's Bar and Grill at Gallatin Marina is a perfect example of why. It was the end of an extremely hot day, and we still agreed to sit outside and eat. The outdoor bar was comfortable, the staff (or Crew according to their t-shirts) were busy, but hard working and most attentive. We ordered drinks from the bar and then our meals. Our waitress was there on her first day and was a trooper. She was efficient, friendly, and funny. She worked really hard and did a great job. The entire staff was running around in a well choreographed dance routine filling orders, refilling drinks, serving food, and taking care of all the guests. This is an excellent dinner location and during the week they have bands perform. Check out Awedaddy's at Gallatin Marina for a wonderful meal. read more

Food was not very good and very overpriced. It was not very warm When served, and flavor was off. Service was great! read more

This was our first visit to Awedaddys. The service was good. The cheese sticks were phenomenal. The Cuban sandwich....not great. There was very little pork or pickle on it. Would definitely not order it again. The pork tacos were just ok. The pork itself didn't have much flavor, though the toppings and salsa were good and flavorful. My husband had the bushwacker original flavor and it was quite tasty. Overall, we really wanted to love this place as it's close to home and sits in the marina. They have a fun atmosphere. We will definitely give it another try... the table next to us had the chicken tender sandwich and a burger....both looked very good. Worth giving them a second shot if just to try those two items. read more

The bushwackers are a must for a cold day. Food is awesome and the staff are very laid back. Love this place!!!

8 of us stopped for lunch during a day of play on Old Hickory Lake. Service was fast and the food was good. I had the crab cakes and the peel & eat shrimp. The peal & eat was cooked right and tasted like it was seasoned with Old Bay. The crab cakes had a basaltic reduction on them that was so strong, I couldn't taste the crab at all. In spite of that it was good, Others has the strawberry salad, the ahi tuna, fried cheese sticks, salmon and grits. It was all good. It's a great place for a brew and a bite to eat. We liked it. read more

I went back and forth on ratings here, as there was some good and some not so good. In the end, we had a great time, so the extra star was added in for good measure. It was the second stop on a "visit places on Old Hickory Lake" tour. Probably my least favorite, but still worth the 4 stars (Moby Dick's was my number one). There are "two" restaurants here, or at least one restaurant with an outdoor bar that has a completely different vibe. The main indoor restaurant is found down closer to the water where the boat owners' parking is, while the outdoor bar is up higher and has gravel parking for the non-boat owners. The parking is a bit of a negative for me, as my car is low enough to scrap over the curbyou have to traverse to park. On the way out, I drove over by the stand where the hump was not as high to avoid a second beating on the bottom of my car. Yes, this is likely petty, so it is not heavy on my list of items. Initially, the bartender was a bit preoccupied and did not take notice of us sitting there, which was a bit off putting. But, after a bit of time, it was like being around old friends. Met with two local brothers who were a real hot to talk to. The only food I had was the cheese sticks, which are "world famous" and a bit too beer batter breaded for me, and some fried mushrooms. I am not as much of a fan of the horseradish dip, but your mileage may vary. As for drinks, the bushwhacker is what they are known for and it is quite tasty. They come out much thicker than most places and you can add a wide variety of toppers to customize. They also have a couple of pre-mixed drinks, the Island Girl and another I forget the name of (oops!). Both served in "buckets" (larger glasses that look like a small beach bucket). not sure if the glass is supposed to be a souvenir or not, but we did not take one with. The trick to Awedaddy's is GPS, as it is tucked away in a marina that you don't see until you are right up on it. Before you get there, you would swear you are in a residential area of the bustling metropolis (ha ha) of Gallatin. Once you are in, it feels like a completely different world. I don't live close, but I am sure I will be back at some point. read more

Syleena was our server and she did a fantastic job. Drinks and appetizers came out quickly after we ordered. Main food was not far behind. We had the pork tacos, Waylon burger and Sweet Chili Salmon, all food was delicious! Even though it had been raining, still had live music which was wonderful. read more

Lisa strikes again! She's rocked our Nashville trip with one great place after another. This is no exception. I told her I though they named the place by stuttering while trying to name the restaurant Daddy's. Lol. Fun place with cool unique menu options. I ate Nashville hot chicken and waffles. What a mouthful of deliciousness and a 1, 2 punch. Sweet and savory with a kicker of chicken and a gritty hot sauce. Yum. Lisa had the strawberry stuffed French toast which looked huge and tasted great. The other folks enjoyed a buffet, Bloody Mary bar, and eggs Benedict. All left satisfied. We ate outside and sat under a giant ceiling fan and even thought was hot and humid it did the trick. While at the marina or anytime, this place is legit. read more

OMG!!! What a gem of a place. Seriously thinking of not writing about this place so it can stay a hidden Gem. I don't want it ruined by others because this place is that special. Food is out of this world, best Bloody Mary I ever had.( and I had allot lol ) and the ambience is to die for. I don't even want to mention the service and the people running this place. Seriously. This is heaven on earth. I think that just sums it up. Even the patrons were a nice bunch. I had the shrimp and grit and it was AMAZING! And as stated before the Bloody Mary was also AMAZING. My server Taylor was like the cartoon;Speedy Gonzalez. Small but boy was she a force to be reckoned with. Absolutely brilliant and amazing sweet person. She made me so welcome. Please go there but try not to change anything they are doing because it's all right as it is. Best place in Tennessee if you ask me!!! Please add 5 more stars for this place. A definite 10 stars for me. read more

Decided to go with chicken fingers because it sounded good. The chicken was delicious, well crisped and tender. I'm a sucker for good ranch and fries and both did not disappoint. It's surprising how hard it can be to find good chicken tenders and fries. Food was 5/5. The atmosphere was good as well. Nestled on the water with views as you eat. The outdoor seating was nothing spectacular but it was very enjoyable. Our waitress was very friendly and personable. My water was never empty which is a huge plus for me since I drink a lot of water. We were also greeted by the hostess and immediately seated. I would recommend coming here. read more

Our waitress was Saleena, and she was laid back and patient with us. Great meal, and good drinks!

Slow service. I was served an awful baked potato - very dry, shriveled up and old. Should never have been sent out from the kitchen. Had an overcooked hamburger. A sports bar kind of ambience. Quite a loud environment with live music some nights. read more

I have been to Awedaddys several times before and will go back sometime. My last visit with my gal was after rush hour on the weekend and was less than stellar. The wait is always longer than normal, but that was expected. There is rarely any parking if that is expected and probably hoped for. We finally were seated at our table; it had not been cleaned, and that was not expected. The staff was understaffed and behind. When we finally received our food, it was at least average. We left feeling like we had over paid for average service and average food. We also agreed that we did not have to go back. I am sure there are other factors that always weigh in to the reason a restaurant is not what you remembered or hoped, for especially on certain days. But if you're going to have your doors open for business, you need to represent better than this occasion. read more

Had the fish tacos and they were good and my wife liked her food. The dining area is covered but open on the sides like a beach restaurant. It's kind of noisy and I could smell garbage as they were hauling it with a gator type vehicle within 20 ft of our table. This is the kind of place you get off your boat to go drink. read more

Cool atmosphere on the lake. Looks like they have an amazing outdoor dining area with a stage for live entertainment. It was a chilly night when we were there so we had to dine inside. Staff was very friendly and attentive but unfortunately the food fell flat. I had the Cuban which was inedible. The bread, ham and pulled pork tasted off. Mentioned it to the server and she took it back and the manager said the ham was shaved that morning and they handed me my $44 check. Still had a great time with family and friends though. Sometime you just have to make do with what you get. read more
