    We have been all over the world, and been to some rough and rowdy places. You could hear music from a guitar from the street. We usually avoid places like that but we thought we would give it a try. We went here on advice from friends. There were 6 of us two guys and 4 women. Despite some of the negative reviews comparing this place to "McDonalds" that was not our experience. We did not sit at the bar but the staff was very accommodating to ensures the all of us where seated together Our bartender, I think her name was Amanda was very friendly and amazing keeping up with all of our party. She was even able to provide drinks, knowing exactly what our party was ordering even with a vague description. If you are looking for a place to drop in and have good burger. I had the Big Jimmy Burger, which consist of lettuce, tomato, onion, the "special house sauce". My wife had the spicy chicken sandwich with onion rings. The chicken was cooked just right, while being juice with a hint of crispy to it.The Spicy Chicken was phenomenal. Onions rings were firm and not slimy as other places, the breading stayed on when biting in to it. They actually bring you a bottle of ketchup instead of small packets or little cups. The food is reasonably prices and was of good portions.Amazing cocktails and sumptuous food offerings combine to create a experiences like no other place in Nashville. The Music here is diverse and usually offers something for everyone. I think the group we saw as (Callum Wade) but not sure. What was meant to be a short stop turned in to several hours. We will definitely be back next time we are in Nashville. This is just off Broadway, The atmosphere here is relaxing and not as chaotic as some if the reviews indicated.

    Stopped in for some loaded fries and drinks. Loaded fries were LOADED!...too many toppings to list. There was a great acoustic singer entertaining us as well. Great place to stop in for a quick snack and drink

    Menu, bar happy travelers!

    Looking for a place to drop in and have a good burger. Big Jimmys was perfect for that and happy hour drinks too! We had to order at the bar, plenty of seating available, Live music. Jump In off the rush of Broadway grab a burger and fries, drinks and back at it. Food came out quickly, burger was juIcy and as I requested. We'll be back!

    I know it's a lot of people's big dream to sing in Nashville. It's not as hard as you think. As a fact, it might be the one thing that you do all day long. This place is located on the side street off of Broadway . We were looking for some food . Curly fries and Jalapeño poppers . Let's not forget a side order of sing-along music with the Musician singing in the restaurant! Unfortunately, I did not get his name, but he was really good and we all sang along with him !

    If you're looking for fun, great burgers!! Excellent music, look no farther!! This place is one of our favorites on Broadway, well actually just off Broadway

    Big jimmy's is a American food/bar establishment located right in the heart of downtown nashville Tennessee popular strip of honky tonks, bars and eateries. My buddy and I was in town for an event at Nissan stadium on a Saturday night and was looking to grab a bite to eat for supper before our event. Every place in the immediate area was insanely crowded with longer waits. This newer establishment we was able to grab a spot and get some food much quicker. You walk to the bar and order the food and receive a number and seat yourself at first available seating. The food menu is much more limited than the drink menu. Pretty much strictly hamburgers. I personally went with the Daddy burger with bacon. Sides are À la carte and cost per siding added. So this needed up being a $20 burger after extras and tip. My buddy went with the Spicy chicken sandwich and a Mille lite. The burger was on the smallish side for the price but it did have a very good flavor and they processed the food rather quickly. My buddy enjoyed his spicy chicken sandwich but said it didn't exactly wow him. Overall the place has a nice atmosphere and worked well for what we both needed. The pricing was borderline ridiculous but which is this places only downfall that we experienced.

    I went into town today for some business and had the family with me. We had a coupon for Big Jimmy's and decided to give it a try. What a waste. Save your money. There so much better food downtown than this. Bowling alley burgers. This is the best way I can describe them. I would have enjoyed McDonald better (I LOATHE McDonald's). This is only getting 2 stars because the pepper Jack Mac and cheese was the only good food. This is one of those bars downtown that only survive because of everyplace else down there is packed. So they get the overflow. (I made the mistake of going there on purpose) Staci wasn't friendly, at all. It seemed when we arrived we interrupted whatever she was doing and it didn't make her happy. Barely a "Hello, how can I help you" . No one else was in the restaurant. I should have left right then. All over the tiny restaurant was tiny little signs saying "no table service, order at bar". 4 Burgers (one of them free actually because I had the coupon), 2 orders of onion rings, one curly fry and pepper Jack Mac and cheese. 2 cokes and beer .... ONE HUNDRED AND TWO DOLLARS! To top it, Staci decided to add herself a whopping 20% tip and she did NOTHING. We had to retrieve our food and drinks from the bar. For a 20% tip you'd think she'd bring her ass out from behind the bar and deliver the food. She didn't bother checking on us or asking if we needed anything else. And why should she, she gave herself a tip anyway. I can see why she's on day service in a busy tourist town. No one wants to deal with someone like her in the evening when people actually patron the bar.

    I got a good old burger and a beer at big Jimmy's bar and Grill restaurant. We had a good time. It was very crowded so it was hard to get around but this is because it was a fun atmosphere. They have live music and it was good, so we really enjoyed ourselves.

    This is a cute little place on 2nd street off the main tourist attractions on Broadway. We saw three different women over the course of two nights and all were wonderful musicians. It's much more intimate and less congested than what you'll find on Broadway. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich!

    NYE and we made a dinner reservation but that restaurant (Nashville Underground) SCREWED us so we were hangry and it's busy everywhere but we stumbled in on Big Jimmy's. They saved our NYE! Casey and Jax are amazing. And the guys who cooked our food, also amazing: We were at a ton of bars today on Broadway and all of the staff were rude and miserable to be working on NYE (get it... but at $15 per drink...I don't get it). It was SO refreshing to have bartenders who are welcoming and fun and happy. Turned our NYE around! Yeah, thank you - we love Big Jimmy's!!!!

    Nice bar with table seating on the side.

We were quickly greeted by the host & sat at a table. Our server Tad was amazing. Tad was a wealth of knowledge on The Finches menu & attentive to our needs. He kept our water glasses full and made sure our dining experience was flawless. I went with the zephyr song cocktail. The blueberry flavor was so refreshing. We also tried the Moonlight in Vermont which was their riff on an old fashioned. For the Moonlight in Vermont they replaced the simple syrup with maple syrup... a nice twist that was not overly sweet. My husband enjoyed the French dip sandwich with Brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were crispy & tossed in an aioli. I had the steak frites skewers. I loved all the sauce options that came with the steak. The garlic aioli was my favorite sauce. We did not save room for dessert but they all looked yummy coming out of the kitchen. Thank you Tad & The Finch staff for an excellent Saturday night dinner. Looking forward to another visit on our return to Nashville.

Loved the aesthetics of this place- very chic and modern looking. But the best part was our food. I had heard great things about the burger, and it did not disappoint. This was one of, if not the BEST burger I've ever had. It came out fairly quick, fresh and hot with melty cheese and the softest bun. There's layers of veggies and sauce which add so much flavor to the soft, melt-in-your-mouth bite. The only thing was the fries weren't my favorite. They were over seasoned in my opinion, and not super crispy. We were full at the end but the dessert menu looked really good, with specials like ube lava cake and panna cotta. I will be dreaming about that burger, and hopefully will make it back next time I'm in town for that burger or to try their brunch!

They did bring out a yummy cookie since we were celebrating a birthday so I appreciated that! They also have parking which is really nice to have in the Gulch. Our waiter was nice and explained the menu for those with dietary restrictions.
