In town to visit family, we hunted for fresh and local on a Saturday night. We were seated…read moresurprisingly quickly - 25 min - even though live music and local vendors out back signaled a long wait. When our server Erica took our drink order and left QR codes for the menu, I quietly looked at my daughter in law and said with a grin, "I hate these. I like to hold a real menu." Although I said it quietly, our server must have caught my look because without a beat, she returned a second later with menus and said winking, "I like a real menu, too." It was subtle and intentional and set the tone for a perfect meal. I told her, "we are reading Will Guidara's Unreasonable Hospitality, and you just modeled it." She told us it's one of hers and her husband's favorite books! Our street corn nachos were delicious as well as great salsa and chips, and each of us was super happy with our taco choices. Highly recommend the brisket, featuring a horseradish cream, and the shrimp as well as the fish tacos. One small note: the flavors in my Brussels sprout taco were fantastic, but the veggies themselves were a bit tough. My tamarind margarita was SPOT ON with a perfectly generous tajin rim and dried lime slice. Food was well-timed even with a packed house. Even when the beans added on by one of our party were way too spicy for her palate, our server offered an alternative without missing a beat. In summary, a hoppin' local spot with great service and delicious food, along with a community feel. 100% recommend!

Nectar Urban Cantina is a great reminder that we don't always need to chase the hot new restaurant…read morein town. We have excellent local spots right here that deserve all of the love! I'm always looking for a place to eat in Donelson before my Wednesday bowling league, and this fit exactly what I was craving. Local, Mexican-inspired food, dedicated parking lot, easy to get in & out quickly. The parking lot was quite popping tonight, and I did have to loop through it a couple of times to find a spot even though it is pretty spacious. A place that's been open since 2017 and is still this busy on a Wednesday is a good sign. This is part coffee shop, part restaurant, so there are two different doors. I inadvertently went through the coffee shop one and they redirected me to the restaurant side, no problem at all. I was able to be seated at a table with no wait. My waitress came right over with water and a menu, and I was clear with her that I had about a half hour before I needed to leave. She quickly took my order, giving me recommendations when I asked for advice and was torn between a couple of different things. The menu is large and reasonably priced with a very wide selection of drinks. This isn't the most authentic Mexican food, but man is it tasty. Lots of fresh ingredients and so much flavor, a real crowd pleaser for dietary restrictions and picky eaters! I was torn between chips and queso and a burrito, so it was to my benefit that the chicken burrito comes with a side of chips and salsa, and paying a small upcharge to swap in queso meant I got all of the things I was craving in one order. Pinto beans, guacamole, chipotle aioli, and rice all packed in and put on the griddle so you get that nice sear. There's an option to add a cheese skirt to the burrito that I skipped this time but would absolutely come back for. The chips were thin and crispy, the queso hot and delicious, and I couldn't have asked for more at the price. The burrito is $11 on its own and with the chicken and my upcharge I came to about $19 with tax, plus tip. When the waitress brought my food she also brought my check and a box so I could take the other half to go and get everything out of the way. In and out in thirty minutes with food that was hot, fresh, and super delicious. The service here really goes the extra mile. Easy for a solo diner, easy for a group, and easy to just walk in for a quick meal. My only small gripe is that they may still be too popular for their parking lot, which should be slightly bigger. They've also got an interesting set of coffee and matcha drinks and a brunch menu I'd love to come back for. This is a hidden gem, and I hope locals keep showing up for the great places we already have instead of only chasing whatever just opened!

This place is such a hidden gem in the Donelson area! I've come here a handful of times and for…read morewhatever reason I am always in a bit of a rush, but when I want really delicious food that's all made from scratch with a variety of healthy and indulgent options, and perhaps a craft brew or two at a reasonable price, TennFold always hits the spot. Their specialty is craft beer and pizza, and they I typically go for both of those when here. On a recent visit for a quick dinner, I wanted something a bit lighter because I had to go play bowling after and tried a menu item that's always intrigued me: the blueberry chicken sandwich on their house made panuozzo bread. I expected this would be like a chicken salad but the waitress said it came hot and melty, and I was in the mood for a risk. And man did the risk pay off, this sandwich was one of my favorite things I've eaten all month! It comes hot and melty with a house made pesto, blueberry compote, fontina, and thin pieces of chicken, perfectly cooked. The panuozzo bread is almost as if you made naan out of pizza dough, and it keeps everything nicely contained without making the sandwich too bready. The flavors are unexpected but work so, SO well together - truly a work of genius. I paired it with their shake shake fries, which have an awesome seasoning (not spicy, just adds flavor) and a Diet Coke. Service was so kind and helpful, even on a busy Wednesday night. I was able to get in and out within 40 minutes, which was a win for the time crunch I was in but I still felt relaxed to eat my sandwich at my leisure. I love it the level of consistency in quality and service here after so many years - I truly always know I'm guaranteed to have a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere with helpful servers every time I come. Nice dedicated parking lot in back is just an added bonus to the overall experience here!

Let me say bottom line everything was fine, but nothing was show stopping. I went with my partner in crumbs who we like to split food and we were excited to order the jackson and the chicken chilies sandwich. I find it hard to believe this was the same Jackson experience that Guy Fieri had. It was tasty but the bread to topping/au jus ratio was an after thought and with limited toppings the sandwich seemed small. The server recommended the mac and cheese and it was good but felt like a ready made. The chicken sandwich again it was fine super thin chicken with limited toppings. I with this we got the broccoli salad it was yummy. Since it was my birthday we got a brownie...the parts that weren't rock hard were tasty.

The cooks were throwing down in that kitchen! Over a couple of days I tried a few things. SZECHUAN SALAD I got the Szechuan Salad with both kale and spinach. I added tempeh bacon and extra dressing on the side. (It didn't need the extra dressing though.) This salad is SO good! I had to force myself to put the fork down and not overeat. It's a large portion so you can share or save half for another day. (When doing this I recommend getting the dressings on the side to prevent soggy greens.) All of the ingredients tasted super fresh, and that Szechuan tofu was thoroughly marinated. Deliciousness! The tempeh (and at home avocado) that I added wasn't necessary but it sure was tasty. This salad is gluten free. SZECHUAN BRUSSELS I love me some roasted brussels sprouts so it was a must to try theirs. I added jalapeños and Hot Tempeh. I have no idea what Hot Tempeh is but I wanted to try it. Best decision ever. The dish itself is amazing. 10/10! The sprouts are saturated in the Szechuan sauce and spices, so every tender bite bursts with tantalizing flavors in your mouth. The Hot Tempeh is tempeh with a coating. It's quite delicious and it elevated an already soaring experience for me. The Szechuan Brussels dish is gluten free, but the Hot Tempeh is not (because of the breading). DUBAI CHOCOLATE CAKE Because I had to. It was NOT gluten free, but I risked it (I have a gluten sensitivity). They did have a gluten free chocolate cake and a gluten free brownie à la mode dish, but I needed that Dubai Chocolate. It was delicious. BLUEBERRY PANCAKES I ordered a single pancake, gluten free for $1 extra. So fluffy and buttery. You'd never guess it was gluten free or vegan. ROASTED POTATOES Excellent preparation and seasonings. MOCK TUNA MELT Gluten free when ordered as a bowl. It was served on a bed of spinach instead of bread. I omitted the cheese and tomatoes. It was very good and the chipotle sauce had a great kick. TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE Gluten free. Rich. Delicious. Everything I ate here exceeded my expectations. Graze is sure to be one of my go to spots for delicious food when I'm in Nashville.

Updating my review since Radish has moved out of Hunters Station and into their own little shop…read moreright next to Butcher & Bee. This was a great move for them, and their new location is just beautiful. It's bright and colorful, with lots of fun murals on the walls, while maintaining the same fast and fresh casual food. I am slowly working my way through their menu. While everything I've tried has been tasty, there are definitely some highlights. Their seasonal Greek Signature, for example, is probably my new favorite. It's full of flavor and the perfect balance of Mediterranean ingredients. I also love their new wraps - especially the BBQ Chicken and the Chicken Caesar. Finally, this location has a FroYo machine! It's just under $5 for a generous cup of frozen yogurt, and then you can add on toppings for a small charge as well. My husband I dined in last night and decided to share some, and it was a hit! It's definitely more on the tart side than the sweet side, making it a nice treat when you're eating healthy. Service is fast and friendly (just like at the other Radish locations). There is some free street parking available, along with lot behind the restaurant that they validate for inside!

While sounding heavy, was met with a light with a fresh pico de gallo and a well crafted crispy but fluffy hash brown. The dish is very well crafted by the restaurant and is a must have if you're in the area. I'd put this omelette in my top egg dishes to get. Very pleased! -biscuits and gravy 5/5 -drop biscuit.... That's all that needs to be said. Pockets of crispy, flaky, fluffy, and just delicious bread that's paired with a rich and creamy gravy. Peppery and flavorful while being light and emulsified to the biscuit to give you a traditional taste of a good breakfast classic. Very well executed.

This spot is the place to go if you type want authentic Nashville hot fried chicken. -Hot chicken Poutine: 5/5 Interesting... but when you think of our northern friends in Canada, poutine is a dish that has a cheese pull that leaves you going for another bite. Add a savory gravy, some melt in your mouth fries that are married to a delicious hot chicken or your preferred heat level and you're left with a unique delicious experience. We paired the medium with this and it was a perfect match. There was plenty of cheese and was a dish you could easily share based on the portion size. Loved it!!! -Chicken tenders (Nashville hot)/ 5/5 Leaving the review for the Nashville hot because that's why you come here, right? Forget Hattie's, forget Princes, forget Dave's hot chicken... I'm making my claim that this is a chicken that's been very well crafted and paired with a cayenne heat that packs a punch you can tolerate. It's a burning sensation that lasts, but invites you for another bite which is what you want with a tender like this. Plenty of meat with a breading that's still crispy even after it's dipped in the fire. You can dip it in ranch or blue cheese but it doesn't need it. THIS is Nashville hot chicken and you won't be disappointed. So glad our friend recommended this spot, having tried other chicken restaurants throughout our trips and many states. I'd come back to this location to get my kick of Nashville hot chicken. Ask for Julie!
