It breaks apart just sticking a fork in it. The ribs are too dry and the bbq sauce didnt hit. The fish fry just falls apart. I really didn't enjoy the food but I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I wouldn't come again as I feel maybe other spots could be better.

The chicken itself was some of the juiciest, and tastiest chicken I'd ever had. Even with the mild spice, it was still so flavorful and delicious. The beans were a great recommendation! They paired perfectly with the tenders and it was nice to give them a try since we had never had them before.

The menu has plenty to choose from, whether you're in the mood for fried chicken, steak, salads, oysters, meatloaf, burgers, or ribs. We started with the crab cakes and the steak biscuits. I absolutely LOVED the steak biscuits, very tender steak on a light, fluffy biscuit. The crab cake was a touch too fishy for my taste, but the cheddar biscuits more than made up for it. Those things are to die for. For my main I got the ribs with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The ribs were amazing and the mashed potatoes were just as good. The Brussels sprouts were really good too, I just wish they'd been a little crispier. Overall, a really good spot. Will definitely be back!

The live music goes all day, and the rooftop is easily one of the largest I've ever had cocktails on, and I've been to quite a few rooftop venues.

They had two different singers performing while we were there, which was a nice touch and added to the experience. Service was fair--not especially quick, but definitely not terrible either.

Nashville definitely got a lot livelier after we left, though, so I can only imagine what it's like later in the evening or on a weekend! Overall, this is a solid place to stop if you're downtown and want good food, live music, and the full Nashville atmosphere.

It was our first time visiting, and we weren't sure where to go. The security guard at the main door was very helpful and pointed us in the right direction. However, when we got upstairs, it was a different story. There was no one there to give us any direction, and we didn't see a sign stating whether we could seat ourselves. The place was a bit busy, but there was a section with about six empty tables. We chose to sit there so we could be near the fan since it was very humid yesterday. No one acknowledged that we had been seated, so when a waiter walked by to clear a table, I asked if it was okay for us to seat ourselves. He said yes, handed us menus, and walked away. No problem--I could tell it was busy and that he was running around, so I took no offense to him walking off. We waited about 10-15 minutes. No one offered us water or came over to greet us. The same waiter I had spoken to returned to our table carrying an empty pitcher, and I greeted him. In response, I got, "You know what you want?" I repeated my greeting, and he repeated his question. Mind you, he never introduced himself, so I have no clue what his name is. The only conversation we had before that was when he confirmed that we could seat ourselves. While I understand being overwhelmed or tired, I can't understand being met with such a rude disposition when I had done nothing to warrant that response. Needless to say, I didn't want someone who found greeting me to be an impossible task handling my food, so we left. He couldn't have cared less that we were leaving. He grabbed his pitcher and walked away before we did. They could have really good food and drinks, but I'll never know. My hope is that this was a one-off situation, but something tells me it's not. There's a bar on the first and fourth floors. The first floor is pretty open with minimal seating, so I'm assuming it's meant for dancing. They also have a live band set up on that floor. Lastly, thank you to the security guard. He was a tall guy with braids, and despite our brief interaction, he was the only person who made us feel welcome. Outside of that interaction, this place was disappointing.

I have been to another one and loved it them too. When this place showed up in a search in Nashville I was a little confused because I knew I had written a five star review of them when I had it last. I quickly realized this was a different location. I was going to Emmy Squared, but totally flipped my decision when I saw this place. I was alone so I posted up at the bar. Bartender had a few bar guests but also had the tables around the bar. He did great managing the workload. It's well decorated and feels like a fast paced pizzeria inside. It's really my kind of joint, for real. This time I noticed that you could do a half/half pizza for just a $1 more. I was torn between two pizzas, so when I did see that I was excited to have both. I got half "The Boss" and half "Dave's Pizza Pie". Both were fantastic! I'm torn on which I like the most. Let's just call it a tie. I liked this pizza so much I risked food-borne illness to eat it again. I took the leftovers back to my room and then took it all the way back home after my meeting, 6 hours out of the fridge on the way back in total. I heated it up and ate it until it was gone. Great news! I did not die! Must be good stuff! I'll be back to one of these places soon! Maybe there is another one that I still have not been to yet just waiting to be tried! We shall see!
