Outstanding food and service. The steak was cooked to perfection. And try the pig ears!

We love the homey open kitchen and our waitress but the dishes are a hit or miss. Their cured meats (aged steak tartare, Dakota farms ham) are amazing, but other items that has to be cooked (shrimp & grits) are not as great. The shrimps were all cooked unevenly, some were under and some were overcooked, not fresh and was mushy. The idea was really cool with miso foam but wasn't executed well. We also ordered the vegetable was good but we expected more for the price. read more

We were lucky enough to score a table at Husk during our summer visit to Nashville, and I'm so glad we were. From the inside out, this restaurant really knocks it out of the park! The historic building is expertly and understatedly decorated to enhance the natural hillside beauty of this house. We enjoyed a delightful window table on the second floor and watched the sun set on downtown Nashville while dining. The ingredient-driven cuisine was top-notch and absolutely delicious. They have constructed an entirely modern take on traditional southern foods in a way that I, as a native southerner, have never experienced. The southern hospitality extends to the service as well, with a great staff and knowledgeable servers. They were able to accommodate our dietary restrictions and even altered a recipe to meet our needs. I would highly recommend the 12 month benton's country ham, plate of southern vegetables, and the bear creek pork chop. No trip to Nashville will be complete without a trip to Husk! read more

We come to this place every time we visit Nashville, but unfortunately, we will not be back. Our food tonight has numerous issues. Our shrimp was mushy and overcooked. It was terrible. The biscuits were the best part. In addition, we also asked for 2 different drinks on the menu which they did not offer tonight. Hopefully, it will get better but for now, I will get Husk in Savannah. read more

Service, food and ambience were all amazing. Wish we weren't on such a tight schedule. Can't wait to come back and try brunch!

Ambiance and drinks were exceptional. (Although pricey for what they were) Food was sub-par. Steak was overcooked. Collard greens were too salty to eat. Appetizer salad left much to be desired. Waiter had an attitude. Apparently he had heard too much about food allergies that day so he decided to have an attitude when answering legitimate questions. A place to skip when youre in Nashville. It's too far to go out of the way for a sub-par meal and rude service. read more

I don't think this place is amazing. We made a reservation and had to sit outside with tons of flies, meanwhile they were not busy and had several seats inside. It took over an hour to get our food and it was not amazing, lacking in flavor. I ordered the catfish and I have had better at a fast food chain. I like the concept just wasn't impressed with anything flavor wise. Server was amazing! read more

This was a great restaurant when Sean Brock was the executive chef and it has remained tasty even with his departure. The Cheeseburger is a great lunch item. At dinner, I can't think of an item offered that could possibly disappoint. read more

Hands down my favorite bar in Nashville, though I make sure to go around payday because it's not cheap. Husk also happens to serve delicious food, though I've only every had one entree (a grilled chicken dish that was perfectly cooked). I'm usually there for the great whiskey selection and interesting cocktails. Some of the most professional and kindest bar staff work there, too; shout-out to the blonde bartender who remembered me between the first and second time I went, about six months apart, and remembered the drink he made me the first time! read more

There is much I can say about husk. It is very trendy and hip and has over a thousand reviews which have said pretty much everything. But here are a few things- food is delicious and the menu changes every day. The restaurant has a vibe of a old home repurposed into a restaurant. We walked from broadway to husk at 8.45 pm and it's well lit and looked pretty safe. My drink was a strawberry infused gin with strawberries and tarragon. It was mind blowing. Service was fantastic. read more

Long story short: completely over-hyped and over-priced. Take your money somewhere else. Long story not short: We came to Nashville for the weekend, and this was the only place we actually planned ahead for and made reservations to. All four of us were looking forward to our experience and dinner here, but unfortunately we were all quite disappointed. The one positive is that the restaurant is really beautiful. Aside from that, there wasn't much we enjoyed about our experience. Our waiter was completely unwelcoming and unfriendly, and he came off quite condescending. I read other reviews about the friendly staff and the willingness to explain menu items (that are not intuitive, i.e. Smoked Duke's, Chow Chow, etc.), but that was definitely not our experience. In fact, quite the opposite. We each ordered four different meals, and none of us were overly impressed. Especially given all of the hype around this restaurant. The servings are pretty small, so I highly recommend ordering a couple of appetizers if you're trying to leave here with a full belly. There are tons of amazing restaurants in Nashville. This is one we will not be coming back to. read more

This restaurant is a must for your trip to Nashville. It is in an old house with beautiful wood floors, lots of natural light and great art. The menu changes daily, so it's always a delight to see what your choices are. Yesterday, we had an appetizer of deviled eggs, followed by a sweet potato salad and a pigment cheese and ham sandwich with a side salad. The servers are great and very knowledgeable about every facet of the menu and drink selections. I highly suggest a reservation, even for lunch. read more

Came for brunch on Sunday. Was pleasantly surprised when the relatively simple menu was much more uniquely crafted than we thought! Everything was creatively composed and extremely fresh with strong ingredients. My shrimp and grits was probably the best grits dish I've ever had. The restaurant is beautiful and a joy to eat in! Wait staff were very friendly and attentive. read more

Husk - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Husk was recommended to us by a few people during our Nashville stay so we decided to give it a try! We were turned off by our server from the very start. The menu is slightly overwhelming so we asked for recommendations (first of all, why do we have to ask? At this price point, the servers should be explaining every single dish!). He literally pointed out the 3 most expensive things on the menu. We obviously knew we were going to eat an expensive dinner coming here but it clear that he was just trying to sell us. This rang true for the drinks as well. We ordered whiskey and we just casually heard him say that it was the 'special reserve'. We were like "wait, no... just the regular". The special reserve is a $20 drink, the regular is about $12. Again... just like overkill on the up sell dude. The food was good. It was... but not out of this world. We had the 24 month ham which we loved, especially the biscuits that came with it. The catfish was meh... the butter cornbread cake (?) dessert was fantastic. read more

What an experience! Everything we had was incredible. Service was top notch, the building is beautiful, the food was nothing short of incredible. Definitely one of the most creatively designed meals I've ever had. read more

This place. Cannot recommend it more highly. I must be here twice a month. The menu is fantastic & ever evolving, and don't sleep on the burger! Best in town. We recently chose Husk to celebrate our Anniversary, and they went above and beyond to include a "Happy Anniversary" greeting on our menu. It's the little touches that count and make a big impact at this restaurant. And Kevin, who has been a frequent server of ours, is hands down the best. So friendly and welcoming! read more

Amazing place! We were only in town for a few days and only managed to fit lunch in husk. It did not disappoint! Just when you think the fried chicken can not get better, Husk takes it to the next level. Highly recommend! read more

I mean nothing really meaningful to say here, except this is a must when visiting Nashville. It's everything they say it is. Make sure you get the 5 vegetables. Amazing. Thanks for the best meal I have had in ages. read more

I am going to keep this review simple. Unimpressive menu, nasty food, overpriced, tiny portions. Save your money and go somewhere they actually feed you instead of just giving you monologues about how they prepared their food. read more

TOP 5 BURGER OF MY LIFE! We really chuckled when we received the veggie platter. When did mac n cheese become a veggie? delish regardless. read more

This meal was incredible from start to finish. I wish I could hug the chef, my isolated heart, and palate needed this meal. Thank you.

We celebrated our anniversary dinner here and the service was great!! The server was very knowledgeable on the items on the menu and gave us time to indulge in the food without being rushed, which is super important to us. read more

Overall excellent! From the charming location where they have container gardens on the property, to the seating and unique touches and centerpieces - this place is a must visit! The service was excellent. There are a number of support staff walking around filling water glasses, clearing tables, etc. Never once did we feel rushed but I appreciate efforts that keep the table clean! Our waitress was very attentive and knew all the details of the menu. Now to the food - amazing; you can taste the freshness. I ordered a Joyce Farms chicken dish that was accompanied by Anson Mills hominy dumplings, shallot and miner's lettuce and I can honestly say I've never had a more flavorful and tender chicken breast (let's be honest - they can be bland/flavorless!). The meal was simply delicious and enjoyable! read more

Husk was the single biggest disappointment during our visit to Nashville. I'm sorry to have to say this, but it is true. I know this place and chef Sean Brock have its fans, and any poor review will be dismissed by those die-hards, but this was our experience. I'm not even sure where to begin... It was a Wednesday evening, and we were seated immediately at our reservation time. It was downhill from there. As the sun set through the windows, the blinding light was a distraction from the start. Doesn't a 'fine' restaurant such as Husk realize that their patrons comfort could have easily been remedied by a light-diffusing curtain or shade? OK, this was not a big deal, but details matter when you're going to a fine dining restaurant. The service was... serviceable. Very good, to be sure. Our wine was brought out and served properly, our waters constantly refilled, and the pacing was good. But it all seemed like an act and not genuine. Fake smiles and chuckles... Very deliberate and obvious attempts at banter and personality. I felt like the whole time our waitress was practicing for an acting or improv class. Barf. By the way, can someone do something about all the flies in the dining room? The food was below expectations to say the least. Where was the creativity? The variety? The flavor? The first courses were good, but not great. 'Ember Grilled' chicken wings were tasty, but dry. The beef tartare lacked depth and richness that the dish needs to succeed. The shrimp and grits were good, but I've had much better at local cafes. The shaved 'Dakota Farms' ham was the best dish, but was essentially paper-thin sliced prosciutto spread over a platter, amounting to less than an ounce of actual food. Hey, I get it... Sometimes it's about presentation and quality over quantity, but I guess that's why they pad this $19 appetizer with cheddar biscuits and pickles. And no one has done anything about all the flies yet... The supper courses are where Husk truly disappointed. Many were not even cooked properly. The $36 beef, ordered medium-rare, was nearly raw, and practically inedible. Trust me, I know the difference between medium-rare, rare, and raw. It was seared, but raw. I was actually thankful the portion was so small at about 4 ounces. The $32 chicken breast was overdone and dry, masked with a light sauce to cover it's flaws. What is this, airline food? I talked my wife into the much-hyped $25 'Plate of Southern Vegetables', and, while quite good, I felt like it still needed something to pull it all together. Maybe some fancy crackers or biscuits or cornbreads would have done the trick. Finally, the $34 pork duo was easily the tastiest and best cooked dish, but maybe that was just in comparison to everything else... At least it looks like someone finally did something about those pesky flies, though... As we approached the end of our meal, much was left on our plates in disappointment. The children were asking to go somewhere else to dine after we leave. Feeling slightly like we were swindled, we asked for the nearly $300 check, paid, and left a generous tip. As I took the last sip of wine from my glass, I felt something solid fall on my tongue; probably a piece of cork? Nope... A fly. Ugh. read more

Husk was nice. The food was executed well. The menu was not as unique as I was hoping for. One of our items was supposed to come with a smoked Cobb corn, it did not. When we asked where it was they acted as if we were crazy even though we pointed it out on the menu. It was bizarre. Also the wall paper and lavender walls were odd. Almost as if a divorced 50 year old mother had decorated the place. Felt very 1992. The prices were very reasonable. This is a nice place to go out with friends. read more

The food, setting, and service were all top notch. Definitely worth checking out when your in Nashville!

Would I come back? Yes, with a different server, or just to sit at the bar, eat the pork sandwiches, and drink cocktails. The kitchen taking on a high volume maybe detracted? Maybe being owned by a restaurant group detracted? Maybe I'm being too critical over 3 dollar signs. Hostesses: Super friendly, and welcoming as expected. We had a 6:15p res and were sat as soon as we walked inside (at 6:15p). Atmosphere: We sat downstairs. A grandiose chandelier nearby, with a high ceiling, and high windows. I'd imagine awesome lighting during breakfast. Server: Abridged--I wish we were sat with someone else. Nick was our server. One of the biggest reasons this review isn't 5 stars. We didn't learn "we have to order everything at once" until we were about to order. Nick mentioned it with a demeaning tone like he'd probably had to explain it before, or just didn't want to explain it for whatever reason, but please mention that earlier. So, we had to sit longer and decide. And note: my girlfriend and I were here for the anniversary of us dating, were super excited and didn't eat much throughout the day expecting to spend some money and pig out- we were getting hangry. Patience is a virtue though. We finally ordered, Nick gave us no input except that he liked the beef so I ordered it (it was great :) ). Overall the first impressions ruined it, and he seemed generally fake-smiley, disinterested, and not genuine. He didn't tell us his name until the very end of the meal when I asked him. He brought us samples of the apple cider, which was super nice, but said to me that he probably didn't know too much about their ciders as he had a little to say besides "sweet" and "not so sweet". But I didn't understand why I saw him interacting with other guests so frequently, bantering with them, explaining dishes (we were within earshot), yet we only got quick touches on our table to see how everything was: "it's good? Awesome [see ya]". It was a bummer, because I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. But coming to a place with such respect, I expected better, more interested interaction with the main face of our experience. Maybe he had too many tables? Maybe we didn't seem like we wanted to be talked to? I don't know. Back-wait Staff: Super attentive. I never had my water below the half way mark of my glass- awesome! The food runner was especially helpful and professional describing the food he dropped off. He fumbled over his words a bit and was noticeably mixed up explaining both first and second courses. Food: First Fall Brassicas, Hickory, Pecan, Radish, Satsuma $13 Had to Google brassicas. It has nothing to do with bras or sicas. It's the cabbage and broccoli family. This was essentially a well dressed kale salad. I need the recipe for this dressing as kale can otherwise be unexciting. Apple Cider Glazed Pork, Soft Rolls, Pickled Onion, Cucumber, Smoked Duke's $15 These were so good. Like the best pork rind (I don't usually like pork rinds), on a soft outside, crunchy inside roll, with tangy, sweet pickles and mayo (smoked Dukes mayo?! That's country). I would come back just for this. Supper Grilled NC Catfish, Virginia Pine Oil, House-made yogurt, Cabbage, Potato $30 The biggest flavor was cabbage. Title should read Cabbage as the main ingredient. The catfish had great flavor on it's own. Bear Creek Farm Beef, Sunchoke, Broccoli, Satsuma, Charred Onion $36 I asked for rare. It was perfectly cooked. Seasoning amazingly; every bite was tasty. Great caramelizing and sweetness. The broccoli was cooked perfectly. Beautiful green. Charred onion was new to me but overpowered by flavor of the veggies so I had to try it separately. Dessert Chocolate Caramel Corn Cake $9 Olive and Sinclair Chocolate, Molasses, Cinnamon Super, super tasty. Reminded me of a really good piece of licorice without the bitter, bite. The crust on the bottom gave the dish awesome texture. I've had my fare share of popcorn though and the popcorn in this dish was definitely stale. Drink: Celebrate Good Thymes $14 Leatherbee Autumnal Gin, Yellow Chartreuse, Celery Shrub (it was thyme in mine), Lemon, Cardamom, Egg White, Thyme Yum! Great drink. I felt it. I'd come back for more drinks. read more

I honestly cannot say enough great things about Husk. We first enjoyed brunch here a year ago during an anniversary trip to Nashville from Chicago at the recommendation of a few locals that we met. We did not have reservations, but we were convinced by others waiting that it was worth sticking around for. We were able to order drinks to enjoy outside while we waited and they weren't kidding when they said Husk was a must try. We just returned to Nashville for our anniversary/the eclipse and decided to make reservations a month in advance because we were so excited to return. During this most recent visit we were given a tour of the vegetable garden as well as the original coach house that now holds private events. The food was just as delicious as we had remembered. I am honestly so surprised to see such mixed reviews. We ordered almost everything on the menu (which changes slightly day to day and primarily season to season) both times that we dined here and loved everything. We ordered family style and split everything which I would strongly recommend so you can try a mixture of sweet and savory dishes. This last time my favorite was probably the Cast Iron Pancake with blueberries and Chantilly Cream and the homemade Bloody Mary is another must try. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our visit. They were very attentive and informative. They also made us feel extra special celebrating our anniversary weekend by providing us with a glass of complimentary champagne and personalized menus that said happy anniversary on them! In addition to great food and great service the décor is absolutely beautiful. The dining room is all windows with a very inviting atmosphere. As a Chicago foodie I am hard to impress when it comes to food and trust me I had my share of disappointing dishes in Nashville at other restaurants, but Husk is a must try if you appreciate creative and delicious food and cocktails! We will continue to visit every chance we get! read more

Ohh my was this good. Small portions and not what I would expect of Nashville but def. tasty. I didn't leave full but the flavors were more than satisfying read more

Worth every single penny...definitely a destination meal from start to finish. The ambiance is charming, the staff is so knowledgeable and pleasant and the food is out of this world. Every changing menu so I won't torture you too many details you may not get to enjoy but literally every bite was incredible. I think I heard the shrimp and grits are one item that's always on the app menu and I can't explain how amazing they were...killer wine list and the bartenders are top notch. Reservations are a must, but if you blow it like we did and need to just walk in the bar has a full menu...worth the wait and there will be one. It was a joy to watch the bartenders do their thing, and they explained all of the food in such great detail. One of the highlights of our visit to Nashville and I can't wait to go back! read more

Diner at Husk for a late Sunday evening dinner after arriving in Nashville for a romantic get-away with my husband. A Beautiful old home, softly aglow in warm light welcomed us. We chose to dine outside, but were seated right on the front porch - had been hoping for the back patio - and were quite isolated as both of the other tables on porch vacated within 30 minutes of us arriving. However, service was amazing, Enjoyed the pimento cheese starter, shrimp and grits for me and steak for my husband - both dishes were amazing. Very enjoyable craft cocktails to start, and then champagne for me and red wine for my husband. Dessert was the most amazing lemon crumble type of sweet - was truly one of the best ever! And a wonderful whiskey flight. A very memorable evening start to finish! We took a quick walk-through after dinner and loved the more modern addition up against the historic old home. Cozy and beautiful. Hope to return for weekend brunch some day! read more

It was absolutely delicious! Spectacular even! I also tasted the catfish and that was good too! Don't remember the name of the dessert but it was some type of strawberry shortcake thing....delightful! Overall worth a visit read more

Very underwhelming. I was in town for a girls weekend and after reading so many great reviews we decided to make a lunch reservation. I have to say the building is gorgeous and so are the grounds. However, the food was just OK. I ordered the vegetable plate and asked for some adjustments so it was vegan. They accommodated which I do appreciate but the food was meh. The mushrooms were good but the grilled veg salad had a very strong vinegar taste. One of my friends ordered a sandwich and it came with these enormous bread slices, just seemed unnecessary. Idk I guess some people like this place but it just wasn't for us. read more

Husk - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Husk is top notch when it comes to food. I've been twice, once for dinner and once for bunch. Both times the food was amazing and a level of freshness that is hard to beat. What I was taken aback by was the totally outdated interior. The top level dining floor lacks any cohesive vibe, it feels like and outdated Tuscan hell. The tacky leather chairs and the tower fans blowing on every table...at a 600 dollar dinner? The price tag doesn't match the experience. I know the cash flow of that place could support a refresh, and it is desperately needed. I won't be back until the atmosphere is more aligned with the food. read more

Great atmosphere in an old southern mansion. Long wait on a Friday night and the bar is too small for a place this size. You actually have to put your name on a list and be taken downstairs to the bar. Good food and great service even if the prices are a touch high. Sit outside if the weather is nice. read more

We celebrated our wedding anniversary a week early this year and made it to Husk for the first time. Worth. Every. Penny. I had the Bear Creek Farm Beef with collard greens, and my wife had the pork with a sweet potato and peanut sauce. We'll be back, for sure. We didn't do this, but save room for dessert. The dessert menu looked legit. read more

Yelp sent me to this restaurant review page which was coincidental since we tried to get a table this weekend. No luck unless we wanted to wait until 10 o'clock since their reputation matches the quality of their food. We dropped in for lunch about five months ago and discovered why they are so popular. The farm to market luncheon entrées were unique and delicious. The wine list was interesting and they have an extremely large whiskey selection. A great place to go but make sure you get reservations well in advance for lunch or dinner! It is not the place to go if you want traditional menus or franchise food. read more

Not a good experience at all. Bald manager was rude, gave my wife attitude because she didn't want to wear a mask, as is allowed in TN. Then charged us $45 for merchandise we never purchased, made us wait 25 minutes while they corrected our bill. Had reservations for dinner on the same day and cancelled. Not worth it read more

I've been here quite a few times and have enjoyed it every single time. I've come for many lunches and a few dinners. Their menu changes so that makes it fun. They keep staples on there so you'll see shrimp and grits time and time again as well as their grilled NC catfish (unless they sell out) and plate of southern vegetables. For sides, they do not do substitutions. I love the starting bread that they serve. Cocktails are great. Service is great. Atmosphere is wonderful. I love that it's in a house! I've been able to sit in different rooms and they all have a different vibe which is nice. I recommend this for business lunches, dinners, or any time you want to celebrate something special in a southern and sophisticated manner. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. Everything was perfect. Beyond perfect if you can believe it. I've wanted to eat at Husk for like five years, and I was afraid I'd overhyped it in my mind. Nope, it was better than I ever could have imagined. We (a party of three) had four small plates, two entrees, two desserts, cocktails, a bottle of wine, and digestifs. By the end of the night, we were so happily stuffed, elated, and paid like $80 each. Unreal. Any low star review you read about Husk was without a doubt written by some loser who treats yelp as their own meaningless public diary. This is real honest-to-goodness food and I couldn't be more grateful. read more
