When I u tell you this was the best meatball sandwich I've had... Baby, the service was quick, I also got some chicken breast and a skirt steak. The beef fat fried potatoes were INCREDIBLE. Kinda crowded, but it was a weekend and they have tables outside. With a try for sure. They also have organic wild caught fish and olive oils and such. read more

Absolute yes "Give me 15 of them right now" This place screams quality, great service and delicious food. It is a butcher shop that also has sandwich shop style offerings. Their kitchen is open for a limited amount of time so 1. Prepare for it to be busy 2. Check times before coming. Definitely worth the wait and they have plenty of seating outside. We ordered their chilli, Cuban and BLT and everything was absolutely delicious. Perfect place to get a way from a busy day at work with a delicious lunch. read more

Burgers are not my favorite food, but when someone says a burger is a must-try, I can't resist giving it a try. The space itself is comfortable and has items available for purchase, including cuts of meat. You can order at the far counter, and there are a few places to sit inside and more outside. Love: tallow fried potatoes (would come just for this; crispy with dipping sauce); service (helpful, kind) Like: cheeseburger (seasoned very well; can be shared; meaty) read more

Mouthwatering meats! I got the Cuban and a meatball sub. Great bread, smoky meat full of flavor. Indoor and outdoor seating. Small bar with beer on tap. Friendly service, LOUD music but hey everyone was having a good time who worked there. I didn't get anything from the butcher shop but it looked like they had high quality meats. Definitely worth a trip to The Nations! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We've heard amazing things and couldn't wait to check it out ourselves. Their kitchen hours are 11-3 so it was incredibly busy! Food was amazing, fresh and the meat was incredible. Would highly recommend! Everyone was so kind and helpful with ordering and providing suggestions. We even left with blueberry breakfast sausage to try at home. read more

Hand cut prime dry aged ribeye for our special dinner! It was fantastic! Plus a hand cut prime filet. Everyone was happy!

One of my favorite cheeseburgers in town! HIGHLY recommend! The indoor space is pretty small, but they have a great patio! The service was also pretty quick. They also sell high quality meat that you can take home and cook yourself! PLUS, it's right next door to Harding House Brewery, which has a great vibe and so many good beers on tap! Burgers and beer on a patio? It doesn't get much better than that! What I ordered: -Two cheeseburgers one with a side of beef fat fried potatoes and the other with beef chili Parking: Free street parking- wasn't too hard to get a spot when we went! read more

I have been meaning to try this place ever since I moved to West Nashville, and finally got the opportunity to! I will say the hours are super tough for me, as the only day of really be able to go would be Saturday since they are only open to get sandwiches during lunch hours. When we went, it was absolutely packed in there on a Saturday during lunchtime which was great to see and honestly didn't surprise me! Since it was so packed, we decided to get our food to go since there isn't a huge area to sit. I will say that although it was pouring when we went, there are typically tables outside where you can enjoy your meal! I heard so much about their cheeseburger so of course I had to try that and the duck fat fries which I've also heard wonderful things about. It took about fifteen minutes for us to get our food. The cheeseburger was one of the best burgers in Nashville. The two beef patties were so tasty, and I love the American cheese slices they put along with the pickles, Duke's mayo, and mustard. The combination of all of those flavors went so well. I'm also a huge fan of the bun they used as well. The duck fat fries were unlike anything I've ever had before. They were tasty, crispy, and went so well with the garlic mayo sauce they give you. I can't believe this was my first time trying this place, but I'll definitely be back! I'm also looking forward to trying their meats! read more

Got the cheeseburger, beef tallow potatoes and the BBBLT to go for lunch and it was incredible! I was able to call in my order and it was ready in 8 minutes. The burger was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were some of the best I've ever had! What a great spot for a tasty lunch! Highly recommend! read more

Really great quick stop for lunch. Sandwiches are pretty large and reasonably priced. I ordered the chicky bacon ranch and it was delicious! Lots of chicken and bacon coated in ranch - It was maybe a little less flavorful than I thought it would be although still tasty. Also tried the beef fat fried potatoes which were very crispy and yummy. Overall a great stop that I highly recommend. Haven't tried their butcher shop but looking forward to it at some point! read more

More like bare bones service. If your food is mediocre you should at least be kind on the phone. Matt, or whatever his name is, was pissed that we didn't indicate we wanted to tip at the beginning of the phone call so he proceeding with an attitude worse than their food. They were out of pastrami and didnt have the patience to consider the other options. read more

This is such a gem of a place in the Nations. In addition to being a full service deli counter butcher, they offer a lunch menu with what many call the best burger in Nashville. It's very fresh and flavorful. You can tell the meat is ground in house. I also really love their meatball sub which comes with garlic aioli, giardiniera, provolone, served on a great crusty bread. The staff are very helpful and seem passionate about their work. The place is clean and well organized too. You can grab some unique grocery items like beef tallow too. We are happy to be repeat customers here. read more

While this is first and foremost a butcher shop, it is a great lunch spot with a good burger and some other sandwich options. I had the cheeseburger, which was simple but really tasty. It is a bit salty and heavy on the mustard, but really good. The beef fat fried potatoes were pretty amazing as well. They carry a variety of meats from local producers, and everything looked good, but I really think of this as a great spot for tasty food that also happens to sell meat you can take home to cook. They also have seating both indoors and outside, adding to the charm of this place as a good lunch spot. read more

One of the best burgers in the city. They keep it simple - the answer is in the meat, grinded fresh. read more

Bare Bones does not disappoint. The meatball sandwich was just as amazing as I remembered. There's outdoor seating but not a ton indoors, so keep that (and the weather forecast!) in mind if you're hoping to eat there. A must-visit if you're in the area and are a sandwich lover. read more

Stopped by for lunch when my family was in town. Greeted the moment we walked in! The menu is well displayed, it's small (so not overwhelming), but has good variety. It's a great set up inside, and everything in the counter/on the shelves was nicely presented. I tried the meatball sub, my dad got the pastrami sandwich, and my brother did the beef po boy - we all loved our choices. The beef on the po boy was a crowd favorite for all of us - it was so tender and well seasoned! The bread used on all sandwiches was great as well! Great lunch spot, and local butcher! read more

Bread, 5 stars. Potatoes, 5 stars. Excellent sammich experience. Drinks are beer, then nothing with ice, FYI. Can drinks, glass bottle Coke, or water with no ice. Seating inside very limited. 3 Picnic tables outside and more space if the restaurant next door isn't busy. Parking is limited. Will go back for the burger, as that is what everyone was raving about but the potatoes alone are worth the visit. Just be ready for trendy Nations seating and parking, y'all. read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. My husband and I have tried every acclaimed burger spot in Nashville, and Bare Bones has the best burger in town (no contest). It may be the best burger we've ever had. I didn't realize ground beef could melt in my mouth. The patties tasted farm-fresh and cooked perfectly with the slightest crisp on the outside. The pickle and mustard were the perfect pairing. We typically always add ketchup to a burger, but this was the first burger that didn't need ketchup (or anything else for that matter). The buns were fresh and warm, too. The Cubano was also very good. The bread was fresh, and the sandwich had almost a southern flavor to it with smoked pork. I will be dreaming about the duck fat potatoes because they are crave-worthy. They had the right level of crisp and weren't overwhelmingly oily or greasy. The space is beautiful with green tile and unique lighting. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will absolutely return to Bare Bones! read more

Small niche butcher shop with top quality meat. I purchased a bone in ribeye and some braised greens that were incredible! Highly recommend when in Nashville read more

This place is awesome! Came for lunch on a Saturday and it was very busy. Had hard time finding seating inside. Food came out within a reasonable amount of time though. We ordered the cubano, cheeseburger, and beef fat fried potatoes. The standout items were the cubano and the sauce that came with the potatoes. Really fresh and tasty ingredients. read more

Been a here few times. Food is good but quality suffers a bit when it gets busy. Sandwiches don't have the right sauces or not enough sauce. Pricey but close to what others are charging in that area. Waited 40 minutes to get the order while shoulder to shoulder in the counter area. Got my sandwich home and ready to eat only to find out the sauce was scarce on the sandwich and had to eat it dry. Fried potatoes are great. read more

A butcher shop with beautiful meats in the case. They have an area with windows where you can see workers cutting the meat. The person taking the order was personable and answered any questions about the menu. I got a Cuban & an order of the beef tallow potatoes. The Cuban was one of the best I've ever had. Everything from the meats, cheese, pickles & bread were amazing. The beef tallow fries were excellent. I can't wait to go back to try other sandwiches on the menu. read more

Stumbled upon this place after stopping by bae's butters (go there too!). I needed a ham hock and it was my first time buying/trying to cook with it. Reasonably priced, and my chili verde turned out beautifully with the meat. Can't wait to come back and try the food!! read more

Awesome neighborhood spot for a bite to eat or to pick up some specialty cuts for the house! We stopped by for lunch and the beef fat fried potatoes alone are enough to give this place a 5 star review! We got the Pastrami melt, El Cubano, and Chicken club. All three were flavorful, but the Cubano was the stand out in our opinion! There was some limited seating inside, but outside has several picnic tables for you to enjoy on a nice day! The team there was friendly and happily offered descriptions of the sandwiches to help make our selection easy. read more

One of the best burgers I have ever had. It took a while to come out of the kitchen, but the wait was worth it. So flavorful and juicy. You don't need a lot of extra frills and condiments if the meat itself is well seasoned and high-quality. While we waited for our burgers, I perused the meat counter selection. I would love to come back and try some of their sausages or steaks. I highly recommend Bare Bones Butcher! read more

Had the fat fries (EXCELLENT) and meatball sub. The sub bread is so soft and flavorful. Unique meatball sub....tender and somewhat nontraditional with a slight kick. Loved it! The staff is helpful and friendly. They split our order for us without us requesting! :) Outdoor seating is wonderful! read more

Butchers are nice. Patient. Well educated. Got a few steaks for Sunday dinner. The aroma is intoxicating. The food from the counter came out quickly. We got a hot ham w/o mayo which was good. The bread was nice and flakey. The ham was tasty and the cheesy was melty. Could have used more of the peach mustard sauce and would have like some kinda heat but it was a solid sandy. My spouse got the pastrami w/o thousand island and some mustard. There was lot of mustard!! The bread was good and actual pastrami was solid. Would return. read more

PSA: best Italian in town! Not a regular menu item. Best chance is on Mondays when they are replenishing their other meats from the weekend. Cold Cut Italian. Soooo good. Just like everything else here! The cheese burger and Cuban are some of the best in town too. Working my way thru the whole lunch board. Only used The butcher shop for steaks once so far. The steaks were amazing. Will be my go-to place for all things read more

I friend told me he thought Bare Bones' cheeseburger was one the best in town. So we went. I cannot argue with him. This is one fine burger. Makes me want to go on another Nashville burger crawl to rate them all again. The service was great and the ambience has a good butcher shop feel. They had a good steady of locals coming in but it didn't take long to get the good. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Finally got around to trying this place after driving past it everyday for months on the way to work! Beef fried potatoes are crispy and salty perfection. Tried one of the daily specials, hot chili mac, and it was amazing!! What a difference high quality meat makes and it was SO noticeable in the pastrami and burger (which I forgot to take a pic of and was gone by the time I noticed). Love supporting small local businesses and cannot wait to go back and try more. Grab a beer while you wait for your togo order or dine out on one of the patio tables in front of the shop. read more

Good sandwiches but on the smaller side for the price. I will say.. you are paying for good quality though. The poboy and the hamburger came to about $21. There were no prices listed on the menu which was on the wall. Food is made to order and we ate outside on one of the 2 designated picnic tables for this establishment. The burger was a double patty treat and came with lots of cheese. The poboy had flavorful brisket and was served on a soft roll. read more

So so grateful for this gem located in the heart of the Nations!! The best steaks in town so much so that our family request these and just eating at home when they visit Nashville. We got some sort of shoulder cut recently that was very marbled and arguably the most favorable cut of meat I've ever had. They serve lunch daily with a great outdoor patio that makes the perfect spot to grab a sandwich before heading next door to Harding House Brewery. read more
