    Bar now features a wait time tracker for food. Definitely a place to bring your loved ones!

    Best burger & fries in town! They also have Beyond burgers which was awesome late night food back in my vegetarian days. If you want food fast, I'd recommend somewhere else. This is a spot to grab a beer, sit on the patio, and talk with friends as you wait for your food. It's always worth it!

    Dino's was high on my bucket list when in Nashville since they were closed the last time I tried coming. It was our first stop of the night as we grabbed some counter seats. This spot has a real dive bar vibe with many locals here. For food, we ordered Joe's Hot Chicken ($10) and Cheeseburger ($8) with Bacon ($2) and Egg ($2). We also got a basket of Fries ($5) made Animal Style (+$5). It's an open kitchen, so you get to watch the food being grilled, especially being seated at the counter. The hot chicken came with three pieces, but I found the meat quite dry and needed the sauce a lot. The cheeseburger is solid though, but quite standard. Surprisingly, my favorite thing here was the animal fries, but just a tad too drenched with sauce too. I was just expecting more for the food since they're so popular for their hot chicken and burgers. Of course we also had a couple drinks. I had a Mezcal Margarita ($13) and Four Roses Ginger Beer Mixed Drink ($8), which were decent. The cups are pretty tiny and most filled with ice. For a dive bar, it's not really worth it either. The add-ons and extra are also quite pricey and not really worth it either.

    Your Dive bars favorite dive bar. This place has cold beer, hot greasy food, friendly servers and retro ambiance. Don't expect some fancy cocktail bar. This place is no frills, tasty bar food. Everything you crave when alcohol has hit the spot. Loved the alt music played - no country here thank gods. They have an outdoor area if you're into that thing. I prefer my dark cozy booth.

    I think this was the egg sandwich my friend had

    We were visiting town and Dino's was recommended to us. Stopped in for lunch. The place is old school and no frills. I had a veggie burger and fries animal style. They don't serve iced tea so I had a sprite. The food was very good. It's a greasy spoon kind of place. You order your food and then they call your name when it's ready. There's a few tables and some counter seating available. The staff were friendly and the food came out pretty quick. I didn't use the bathroom so can't comment on it. I believe there's one step to get into the restaurant so it's not really ADA accessible.

    Had read about this place being one of Nashville's top places for a burger, so I had to try it on my latest trip. While parking in any city is a pain, it is certainly worth the effort to enjoy this awesome and cool dive bar burger, where everything is cooked to order, and the fries are hot & crispy. The staff is super friendly and very willing to answer all your questions that a first timer may have. The staff is awesome, the food is great, and the prices are fair. If you like burgers, be sure to check out this iconic spot when in Nashville; you will be glad you did.

    Very cool dive bar with seating in and outdoor. I got a cheeseburger with a... dirt cup?! Yes. I like this vibe in Nashville. Fun memorabilia around the place and it seems there has been good memories made here.

    More of a diner than a dive bar. Great spot for a late night bite. The hot chicken was great.

    Dino's is the very epitome of a dive bar and is definitely a relic in the ever-changing landscape of Nashville, Tennessee. I came here after hearing positive things about their cheeseburgers and decided to see for myself if the hype was true. I definitely dug the ambiance and the bartender was friendly as I ordered my cheeseburger, French fries and drink at the bar. The music is a bit loud, but hey, it's a dive bar. It's also dimly lit with red light bulbs, but again, it's a dive bar. This is the type of bar that you would see in a 1970's movie when a few unsavory types are boozing it up in a bar. They called my name when my cheeseburger and French fries were done. Tearing into my food, this was how a cheeseburger and French fries should be. Like the bar itself, this cheeseburger was a no-frills presentation, but the burger was done well and the French fries had the perfect crispy crunch to it. For a small bar, it filled up quickly with a smattering of different ages, but the overall vibe was fun and pleasant. If you find yourself in Nashville, Tennessee, please do yourself a favor and set foot in this bar and embrace the vibe and don't miss out on their killer cheeseburgers and French fries.

    Cozy, tiny and wholesome bar vibes. So cool to see all the old bar memorabilia mixed with loads of Dolly art. Snacked on the fried chicken sandwich and hot chicken. Didn't take pics but both were super fresh for only $8 and $10. Came for the Dino Dog event :) staff was super nice and friendly. A bit of a wait for the food but not too long at all if you had a cold one

    Their burgers are to die for. Dive bar with great drinks and the best burgers around town. The line can get long, but they keep it moving quickly . Bartenders and cooks are super chill. I still dream about the burger, It's so bomb. They have plenty of seating inside, but they also have a back door patio if you want some fresh air or to smoke. Was so excited about the Dolly's lemonade stand, but it was closed. That just means I have to go back.

    Hot chicken

    Stopped in after bar hopping in East Nashville (way better than broadway)for late night food. Went with Nashville chicken and a smash burger. Bonus points for having coors original on tap. Good dive bar worth checking out.

    Great dive bar with great food that's cheap. We had our dog and they said no problem. The hot chicken was the best one I had. You could sit here all afternoon and enjoy the atmosphere. Weather permitting of course.

I loved the skinny margaritas, and the frozen blackberry mule was so good. They have a really nice patio that's perfect for hanging out. The only downside is that I feel like they close the patio/space a little early around 10 PM, and after that the inside gets extremely packed and it's hard to move around. The mozzarella sticks were good, but a lot of them were missing cheese, which was disappointing. Overall, still a really fun spot with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out for a casual dinner or drinks before heading out.

From the moment we sat down, everything was fantastic. We started with cocktails, and both the margarita and Greyhound were perfect. Really well balanced, refreshing, and delicious. We shared a few starters, including the beets and the chopped salad. The chopped salad was such a unique presentation and was absolutely delicious. For our entrées, I had the duck, which was phenomenally cooked, while my partner had the braised short ribs -- quite possibly the best short ribs I've ever had! The service was excellent and very attentive without ever feeling overbearing, which made the entire evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. Such a great spot in the neighborhood.

I ordered a seasonal sea bass dish and it was seriously one of the best things I have ever eaten. My husband got the short rib, and it was really tender and so yummy.

I liked how it was nice and high quality food and drinks, without being too fancy. That makes it so much easier to enjoy a good meal without dressing to the Ts. I opted out of getting a drink this time, but they had three Floyd's canned beer which my boyfriend ordered. It was good and they did serve it with a glass which is always appreciated. We both ordered the grouper sandwich (mine with no bun) and then shared the hamachi crudo. The crudo was delicious, but the hibiscus sauce was slightly over powering in my opinion. I really liked the sauce, I just prefer to be able to taste the fish a little bit more. The fish itself was very good. The group was huge! (Yes we both ate the entire thing). That "Florida sauce" they serve with it is a game changer. Might have to order more to go next time. Definitely will be back to Fishmonger! This time with a reservation!

Snapper Crudo: Okay, the peaches threw me when I read the menu, but they were fantastic! Just a little spice on the agua chile, perfectly cured fish and really nice presentation. Tomato Salad: Perfectly ripe and sweet, the cherries and olives were easy to confuse until you bite into them, but they were both fantastic Wood Roasted Carrot: the carrots were a little inconsistent in size, and thus in softness. They were all good, but some were absolute heaven Octopus: generous portion, and perfectly cooked. The wood fire was not overbearing as it didn't taste smoked or burnt. just a great dish. Parisian Gnocchi: Didn't interest me on the menu, ordered as a recommendation and even though by this point I was not at all hungry, it was fully devoured. The snapper was great, however we did enjoy the Whiskey rebellion, an old fashioned and a tommy's margarita, so this dish was fantastic, but the memory is a bit fuzzy. Desserts are a not to miss, and the peach cobbler (foreshadowed but the fantastic peaches in the crudo) delivered in a great way to end a great meal. Thank you again for a great time!!!

My friend had a concoction that I can only call The Coronary Plate: Fried eggs, fried potatoes, fried chicken. Half of a fried chicken that looked better than anything I've ever seen at KFC or Popeye's or my own beloved Bojangles. Crispy, slightly burned but a light batter and a juicy center. Yeah, get that. Big Al's is an anachronism. The food is cooked by hand, it's delicious and it stands halfway down the block of a completely residential neighborhood.
