    Great food and great service. The pictures do not do the food justice. Below is the picture of the recent menu for their brunch. Recommend doing reservation that way less weight and you walk right. Do not pay for parking as they have a QR code inside for free parking for 2 hrs

    Hot chicken and waffles

    SUCH. A. VIBE. Let me first start off by saying I'm not from around here lol. But I do know what good food, good service, and good vibes are and this place definitely has them all. I came here on a Saturday morning in September around 11:15 and although I had made reservations, it looked like you really didn't need to as there were some table options both inside and out. But in less than an hour by noon, it was pretty full. All of the staff, from the greeting hostess to our waiter, were all super friendly and made good recommendations for us out-of-towners. I got their flight of coffee which was fun, and their hot chicken biscuit sandwich. Hot chicken and waffles were also good. Live music really set the vibe and it was a perfect brunch date. I highly recommend this place!

    Bottomless mimosas

    Went to big machine Tavern in Nashville for the first time with friends- thankfully with a reservation this time so no two hour wait like before. The ambience was good and mellow perfect for weekend brunch without having to shout over loud music. We started with bottomless mimosas, which we loved because you can pick your own juice and even add syrups to customize them. For food, we ordered the Bigger Machine Breakfast, Monte Cristo, and Big Machine Breakfast. Everything came out hot and flavorful. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the Montecristo was solid, though I personally would've prefer maple syrup instead of the raspberry. We also tried the boozy flight: it was very sweet so if you like less sugary coffee drinks it may not be your favorite. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, drinks and relaxed vibe. Service was smooth and nothing felt rushed even though it was a busy weekend brunch. Solid 9/10. We will definitely be back!

    Our family enjoyed brunch at Big Machine on our way out of Nashville. They were able to accommodate our large party & our server was great! She gave awesome recommendations & kept our drinks full. The ambiance is nice, there was live music playing (but not too loudly). There is a photo opp wall as well. On to the food! 9/10! Everyone enjoyed their meals and for me personally, the sausage gravy was DEVINE. We chose this place for the large group dining & the dedicated parking, but we'll be back for the service, atmosphere, & most importantly, the food!

    Big machine breakfast

    Brunch at Big Machine Distillery was good overall. The service was friendly, the ambience was relaxed, and the Big Machine Breakfast was filling and flavorful. Easy spot for a solid brunch.

    Chicken Cesar Wrap ! Amazing!!!!

    Chicken Cesar Wrap ! Amazing!!!! The atmosphere for a Friday and live music was everything. Today was windy and they allowed us in the back area with our dog. Such amazing workers, singer, food, vibes, and everything in between.

    Waffle

    Wow! We took my husband here for Sunday brunch to celebrate his birthday. Our whole family enjoyed it! We sat on the coveted patio which I highly recommend. The only reason it's four stars is because our table was right by the guy singing live and we couldn't really hear each other. Other than that.... It would've been five stars for sure. Every single person loved their food and we are already talking about going back. We'd love to try their lunch/dinner menu but we're impressed by their brunch menu. We will definitely return!

    Vodka Mimosa with strawberry syrup and fresh fruit
    Ashley N.

    The chicken tenders were good and bottomless vodka mimosas were delicious. The service was good just wish the parking lot was bigger. The Ambiance was nice the fresh outside breeze was flowing on the patio.

    Presentation is definitely aesthetically pleasing- unfortunately the taste is very subpar! Customer service was very lacking and wait times were very lengthy! Too many brunch places in Nashville to go to that are better so definitely will forgo coming back here!

    Three generations for a bachelorette party.

    Savannah was the highlight and that is saying something because the food and alcohol were off the charts. Will definitely come back every time we're in Nashville. Again, Savannah Savannah Savannah she's awesome.

    The facility doesn't have great seating options. There is outdoor patio seating but there isn't an option if it starts to rain for outdoor seating and they don't have umbrellas or a pullout awning. The front area by the bar just seems really cramped and like it should be a shop/retail part instead of an eatery part. The service is not great. We waited going on 1.5 hours just for food. We were given complementary biscuits, jam and butter. The tables aren't that large for their most popular item, breakfast board. The coffee flight was delicious, but the apple and raspberry are extremely sweet! Like doused in sugar sweet.

    Chicken and waffles
    Alex L.

    This was our 3rd choice option for brunch as the first 2 place had 2 hr wait time, we did not regret this place. Excellent place for brunch. The food was delicious and huge portion. When in Nashville need to get the Nashville hot chicken and waffle. The serving size was huge. The chicken had a nice kick to it and was crunchy. The waffle was crispy so it didn't get soggy from the syrup. The restaurant was pretty and aesthetic and had swings for a nice photo. The had an ice coffee flight to try their signature coffees. The service was great and friendly.

    Urban Grub in Nashville is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem from the moment you…read morearrive. Famous for not having a sign, finding it may be part of the adventure, but once you do, everything else is effortless. Parking is simple--just pull up and valet takes care of the rest. With a reservation, we walked right in with no wait. The most difficult part of the evening was deciding what to order because the menu offers so many tempting choices. I selected the Kvarøy Arctic Salmon, while my wife chose the Springer Mountain Farms All-Natural Chicken. Both dishes exceeded expectations. The salmon was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It rested on a bed of greens with a subtle lemon flavor that paired beautifully with the fish. The chicken was equally impressive--moist, tender, and packed with flavor. What stood out most was the incredible smoky aroma that hit before each bite, making it even more irresistible. For dessert, the Blackberry Lemon Bread Pudding was the perfect finish. Soft, warm, and bursting with flavor, it was a standout ending to an already exceptional meal. From the outstanding food to the attentive service, Urban Grub delivered a fantastic dining experience. Make a reservation, enjoy the meal, and see if you can find the place.

They were not what I was expecting but they were good. They are more like a crab hush puppy. The Alabama white sauce that came with set the beignet off!! The grits...the grits (chefs kiss). Very flavorful. The steak was good. Didn't even really need an additional sauce. White linen type of vibe. We got to sit in the VIP area/chef table. I will definitely be back!!

I'm single I'm trying to stay thin so I can bamboozle someone into loving me. This is pizza I would 100% splurge the calories and macros on, it's well worth it. They explained the pizza to me but honestly I don't remember it all. They import stuff and use sourdough crust and idk what else. All I remember is how frickin good it was. Like a symphony of cheese, tomato, dough, and pepperoni. As I ate it I could feel happiness levels rising in my body. I got this to go so I can't comment on service, ambiance is cool though. Big, airy space. They have other food but honestly why mess with perfection. Just get the pizza.

Our waitress was incredibly attentive and offered suggestions on some wines and pizzas. We got a white pie (full throttled which added a few extras on top) and my parents enjoyed the porchetta. The white pie had a perfectly done crust, and was full of flavor. We also enjoyed the spicy ranch alongside it. Before we left they dropped off a birthday surprise (aka cheesecake) and wow I will be ordering this next time we go, fantastic cheesecake! Highly recommend this place for any gear-heads or pizza lovers alike. I wish the lot wasn't gravel next to the restaurant, but that is a small complaint in the grand scheme of things.
