This is a long one...My sister and I decided to visit Jack Daniel's at the Gaylord Conference Center in Nashville, TN. My sister doesn't travel extensively, so it was supposed to be a real treat to visit the hotel and the restaurant. When we put our name on the waitlist, we were told that they were in the middle of a shift change and we would have to wait to be seated(didn't know that was a thing in the restaurant industry) So there would be a 40 minute wait to order food. Fine. No problem. So I asked if we could order drinks at the bar and was told that would be fine. When I went to order a drink, I asked if we could order our meal at the bar and the bartender said they were in the middle of a shift change. Fine. So I asked if I could get a drink from the manager behind the bar. I got my drink and sat at a table. My sister then went up to the bar and waited for a bit to be acknowledged. The bartender didn't taker her order, but someone the bartender clearly knew just walked up and got two shots with no problem and without paying. When she pointed out that she had been waiting to be served, he said they were in the middle of a shift change and he said "I'd have to give you a f$&king beer" Mind you, there might have been 6 people in the bar at the time and he could've started a tab. He certainly had no reason to curse her and, sadly, he doubled down when she told him he had no reason to be rude like that and told her "I'm not being rude." The manager just stood there, didn't say anything to her to salvage the horrible service. Needless to say, we left that establishment and will NEVER return. The other bartender came outside after us to offer to help, but our experience was ruined. I eat out extensively and I have never received such rude behavior before and there is zero justification for cursing a customer. I hope this isn't the norm for Jack Daniel's. I will be contacting corporate about our experience. read more

Ever since I was in college my choice of drink was always Jack & Coke. I am not sure why but it was the first drink that came to mind when someone asked me what I wanted to drink... Anyway, this place is hard to find in the Opryland Resort. It took my girls and I about 15 minutes to find. It's literally in the back of the resort. Probably would have been easier to park or get dropped off at the other end. By the time we found it, they seated it. It had a very wooden rustic feel. Funny thing we also noticed were that all the servers were guys. We assumed it's an older gentlemans type of place to eat. Very southern and all meat dishes with cornbread, slaw, beans and butter. Everything there was a little pricey but that's what you get when you eat at a resort. My drinks was about $14 (it was Jack with cream) the appetizer was Jacks Honey Rolls and dinner was smoked brisket with Brussels sprouts. My total came to about $45 ($227 total for all three of us-- my friends had more to drink haha!) I wouldn't make it a MUST to go to for eating but if you can't find anything else... Check it out. read more

Service was fantastic. Kelly at the bar was informative, attentive and professional. Food was great

The pickles were good. My sister said her brisket burger was really good and my aunt said her quesadilla was the best she's ever had. Servers were friendly but kinda slow. It gets busy during peak hours. read more

High priced, ok BBQ. Limited menu. But one of only a few choices when you are at a convention at the Gaylord.

Worlds worst pulled pork. It was the same quality that you would expect in a school cafeteria. As soon as it hit the table it was obvious that it was in a warmer for a few days being stirred. At $25 this was an embarrassing entree at an otherwise beautiful resort. I let the server know after eating 1/4 of my entree. We ended up paying full price. No manager cared enough to apologize. I guess this must be their norm. read more

The two stars are for the service which was very much what you expect from good southern hospitality. I was going to get a BBQ sampler plate but was on the fence with the southern tea soaked peach topped pork loin chop. The waiter suggested the latter (otherwise he would've gotten 3 stars). I chose the fried green tomatoes and come slaw as sides. The chop was sickeningly sweet and too salty (which seems to be a theme here at the hotel). The peach sauce had fresh peaches but was also way too sweet and cold. The fried green tomatoes were too salty to eat. The waiter earned points suggesting I try the collards which were good but overdone. The highlights were the cole slaw which there was way too little of and the large mason jar of diet Mountain Dew! You don't see diet Mountain Dew in restaurants too often up north so it was a treat. The desserts looked tempting but I couldn't bring myself to stay there any longer. Too bad as a very good local duo began a set. I had dessert at Christies so you'll have to check out that review separately. read more

Jack Daniel's - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This place is fun and has good drinks but extremely greasy food. My friend had the smoked chicken which was less greasy than the pulled pork, not surprising.. The sides are almost inedible. And I'm from GA so I'm used to southern cooking. Great service. read more

The portions were huge and pretty tasty - minus the Mac n Cheese... yuck! Kelly, our server, was so sweet! I asked for a spicy margarita and they made me one - probably the best I've ever had! read more

This is probably my favorite place within the Gaylord. Comfortable, good food, band was decent. I had the chili and cornbread one night, which made for a very filling dinner on the cheap. Another night I sat with my sister as she had the meatloaf and mac and cheese (which she said were really good). read more

Jack Daniel's - Chili - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My wife and I stopped in for breakfast after we checked out of the hotel. The restaurant was obviously understaffed, as was the case at each of the other restaurants we dined at in the hotel. We were sat relatively quickly, but it took a good 4 minutes before we were acknowledged by our server and an additional 4 before she returned to take our drink order. Since we waited for so long, we ordered our meal along with our drinks; unfortunately, this seemed to fluster her, but she recovered and took our order. She did not know a great deal about the specific ingredients of some of the menu items, but I was able to find something I could eat. My wife's breakfast consisted of eggs, toast, hashbrown gratin, and country ham. She liked her eggs and loved the hashbrowns, but her toast was dry and the country ham was a meager portion that was mostly fat. I ordered the brisket and grits, and I was pleasantly surprised. The brisket was juicy and flavorful, and the grits were stone ground and cooked perfectly. We paid $30 dollars for this meal, and while the food was nearly worth it, the service wasn't. Our drinks were empty more than they were full and it took a full half hour to receive our food. Considering the dining options in this city, I wouldn't do Jack Daniel's again unless I was staying at the hotel and didn't have a vehicle. read more

Great restaurant and great food!!! I had the ribs and my wife had the pork chop. Grandchildren had chicken tenders (Dinner Winner Chicken Tenders) (Team Favorite Right Side Burger). They were great!!! Wait staff was excellent especially Thomas!!! read more

I absolutely loved the food here, however the choice selection wasn't that great. I totally didn't expect a Jack Daniel's to be inside the Opry Hotel...so that was really cool to see. The burger was pretty good, but the appetizer fries were awesome. They had this ketchup sauce that was out of this world. Overall I really enjoyed the atmosphere, I felt like I was at a laid back bar, not at a country hotel. The people were friendly, the food was fast, and even though they gave us two orders of our appetizers, they let us just have both :) I would highly recommend stopping here if you go to the Opry! read more

The service was good and everyone was quite pleasant from the host to the bartender to the server. However; I was not very impressed with the food at all. There was no complimentary bread or anything served (which this type of place usually has) and we only tried the kale salad with grilled shrimp. While the salad was quite good and the dressing delicious, the grilled shrimp were simply terrible. Very rubbery and so salty that it overwhelmed the taste of everything else. Every shrimp was like a horrific salt-bomb more troublesome than the last. The novelty has worn-off and I cannot see myself returning. read more

So disappointing! I come from NYC where you can get any type of food and there's no lack of BBQ places. I ordered the dill pickle chips - really good. Then a half rack of ribs with Mac and cheese and garlic mashed sides. The ribs were not very meaty and not very tender. The run on the ribs was good and had some spice. The sauce on the table is just so standard. No spice, only 1 sauce choice. The Mac n cheese was the worst! Seriously? Bad Mac n cheese in the south?? Sheesh. Garlic mashed was good. I don't recommend this place at all read more

We were a group of 8. We were the 1st one through the door at 4:30 when they opened. A table of 10 sat down a few minutes after us. It took them 45 minutes to take our order, finally after tracking down a manager we placed our order. 3 of us ordered a $40.00 steak and they were all burnt. We never said anything until the lady manager asked how it was and we let her know respectively. She said thank you and moved on. Then we were waiting on our bills to be separated per couple. Well 1 hour and 45 minutes later we spoke with another manager who was very rude and disrespectful. Nothing but excuses. So after 2 hours we finally were able to leave!! I wouldn't give them any stars but Yelp won't allow that! DO NOT RECOMMEND save your money and your sanity. Ps the table of 10 was in and out in less than 1 hour! read more

Another Opryland rip-off. $17 for a "meh" burger. It's convenient if you're already at Opryland, and hideously overpriced. My friend's plain salad, without meat, was $11. Ugh. I do not intend to return. read more

I was attending a conference at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center and decided to check out Jack Daniel's Saloon one night. It was super busy and there was a 30 minute wait. We were excited to try the Fried Chicken since according to the menu they only serve a certain number of Fried Chicken meals per day. The waitress also recommended the fried pickle because it's their most popular appetizer. The fried pickles were good, the coating had the right crispiness to go with the pickle itself. Our fried chicken arrived but they were cold. They certainly didn't taste like they were made fresh and part of the "limited" number of meals that day. Fortunately, it was a nice place to hang out and have a few drinks and our waitress was really nice and accommodating. read more

Very pricey for what you get, but I supposed that's pretty normal for a touristy spot. Our plate of ribs/sausage came out kind of warm, instead of hot. A friend who ordered the hamburger enjoyed her meal immensely, however. My BIL ordered a Manhattan and found it to be too sweet. Overall, I think this place is OK in a pinch. read more

The Jack Daniels saloon is located in the Opryland hotel in Nashville. I have only here once and the food was okay. At first when we arrived we did not have a reservation and I noticed that there were big casks outside of the restaurant that look like liquor was in them. I did ask the hostess if there were actual liquor in the castle she said The casts were just for show. I did have four people eating with me and our waiter was actually really nice and accommodating he really knew the menu well and he had a good selection of things that he recommended without us having to ask him for recommendations. We did not get any of the appetizers here I ordered a double shot of Jack straight and the two other people I was with got Jack and cokes and the other person I was with just got a beer. The waiter did say that the brisket was highly recommended. Two of the people I was with had a hard time choosing between getting the ribs or the brisket both of them ended up settling on the brisket. Me on the other hand I ended up getting a smoked Gouda cheeseburger with bacon and brisket on top The burger was garnished with crispy onion straws. When I receive the burger it looked absolutely amazing. I was very excited to try this burger. I took my first bite into the burger and I noticed that the burger was just okay there wasn't a tremendous amount of flavor from the burger. What I did taste was the onion straws the smoked Gouda cheese and the brisket. The brisket on top of the cheeseburger actually tasted very good. Knowing what I do now if I did eat here again I would just ask for brisket. One of the people that I was with that just got the brisket and it up substituting his side for macaroni and cheese. He told me he wished that he didn't get the macaroni and cheese because it was extremely dry. I tasted some of the macaroni and cheese and it was not something that I would've eaten. They definitely had it sitting for a while and they just reheated it quickly. I have had better microwavable macaroni and cheese then the macaroni and cheese that they had. I did think that my burger was a little bit expensive it was $19 for the burger with the brisket. I know you're having brisket to it but it was really only three pieces of brisket and if you charge a dollar for each strip of brisket. It's still a $16 burger. The one issue I did have was that they do not have a bathroom inside of the restaurant. I ended up having to walk through the entire restaurant go outside in the hall and walk down the hallway to go use the public restroom. Overall I did enjoy the ambience of this restaurant. I might come back here to eat I don't know if I will but if I do I'm going to keep it very simple. I highly recommend this place for drinks it's a good place for food just keep it simple. PROS: - ambiance is cool CONS: - no bathroom in the place. - bit pricy - The food looked great. taste wise surprisingly not much flavor. read more

Go with the other reviews and get the "appetizer" brisket quesadilla, you will not be disappointed. We went for lunch and I had the roasted half chicken. It was good (and a somewhat healthy option), but I wished I had the quesadilla instead after someone at our table shared a bite with me. Keep in mind this place is expensive for what you are getting (like all of the hotel restaurants). I think the quesadilla was $14 or $16 and my chicken was $22. We went back for some late night drinks and this is definitely a popular bar within the hotel. I was disappointed they were out of ginger ice so I could not try their signature drink. One of the male bartenders was really awkward (and not really friendly) so I purposely started to only ask for help from the other female bartender on duty. On select nights they have live music here at 9PM so check your schedule of events provided to you when you check in! read more

the Mac and cheese was nasty and mushy and the baked beans was watery and the stuff in it was terrible and nasty the only that was good was my sherly temple .!!! read more

The burger was good but I wouldn't call it Jack Daniels plus for the price I think I would have done better going to Fridays. The Mac and cheese was bland and our waitress made sure to steer us clear for rom other bland tasting food. The rolls were good but not worth $8 and after waiting an hour for a table for 6 on a Saturday for lunch I was over the whole experience. read more

Jack Daniel's - Jack Daniels Burger - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Jack Daniel's is Tennessee so why not eat here and have both the whiskey and dinner. Totally not disappointed, fried green tomatoes, catfish and honey ginger whiskey was perfect after a long day. Everything was fried but what do you expect it's the south and I'm okay with that. They also have live entertainment and a inviting atmosphere. read more

The BBQ was good, but not something special. I ordered the pull pork and it was sliced 2 thick inches like prime rib. They are reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. It's not a bad choice when your staying at the Gaylord and you don't want to leave the hotel area. read more

The best place to go Late Night in the Opryland. It's actually open till 2am and has live music on the weekends. The menu is fairly limited even though there's a large dining room. Full menu till 11, then only pizza after. There's also a patio which is pretty nice. It's a fun place to go hang out with friends or coworkers. read more

Not that great. The name is the hook. Went there on a Saturday and they were only serving a very lame buffet, that would make Golden Corral laugh. When combined with the "resort pricing", this is a next to last option. read more

I was there on a Sunday Afternoon for lunch, just as the place opened for business. Ordered the Baby Back Ribs, but the ribs were not quite Baby Back Type or Look or Taste, Taste more like Spare Ribs, Looked more like Spare Ribs. Asked and Confirmed with staff if these were Baby Back, they said yes. I was not really satisfied. read more

Had a wonderful dinner experience tonight. The live music was endearing and very appropriate for the atmosphere. Not too loud for table conversation, as tends to be the problem with most small venue bands. Margie took great care of us! We loved her carefree spirit and attention to detail! The food surpassed our expectation as well considering the mediocre other ones. read more

We had lunch here while holding a series of corporate meetings at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. It's a simple menu, probably to make service fast during the lunch rush. I had the Caesar Salad with Fried Green Tomatos, and a side of "Baked Tater Wedges" (same as big french fries), with Iced Tea to drink. A simple lunch, but the Caesar was very good, and with the extra potatoes (slightly spicy and very tasty - paprika? Cayenne pepper? a bit of both?), more than enough for a filling lunch. They also have burgers, a variety of sandwiches, and desserts. Service was fast - food arrived within 20 minutes or so of ordering, and was exactly what we expected. Recommended for lunch. read more

Limited late night menu, good live entertainment and one of two places to get a meal after hours at the Gaylord Resort. If you are having chicken wings and a beer then you can't go wrong. read more

Brisket quesadilla is fantastic, as are the fried pickles. Don't bother ordering the chicken chili. Service good and friendly

Specialty drink was pretty good (jack over ginger ice), but service was lacking and fried chicken sandwich was pretty awful. The chicken clearly hadn't been seasoned and the aioli spread that was supposed to be on it was missing. Very bland. Pretty good fries, but doesn't make up for the sandwich. read more

Served me a shot in a filthy shot glass.. had to send it back. Got ignored and bypassed several times while sitting at the bar. They seemed to be understaffed but that's no excuse for rudeness. Bartender and manager were rude read more

Well I have to say the fried pickles and hit buns were the best part of dinner. Mom had the pork chop which was fair but green beans were still pretty raw. My BBQ pork sandwich was below average. It was cold and the fries are overly salted to the inedible point. Service was fair and many simple requests like a lemon or a refill were forgotten. Personally, it's not someplace I'd go back to anytime soon. read more

My husband and I had the BBQ pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwich. They usually do not sub it but they made it for me and it was delicious! We will definitely be going back. Their fries were amazing!! read more

We stayed at the Gaylord so decided to give this hotel restaurant a try. It was decent. As you would expect in a nice hotel it was a bit pricey. Average mixed drink price is $12. The food was good but not to rave about. You could get better BBQ elsewhere for a lot less and a lot more authentic. If you stay at the hotel and don't want to venture out it is a decent choice. read more

Unimpressed with the atmosphere, very noisy. Waitress was terribly busy so attentiveness was poor. Shrimp on the shrimp and grits was bland. Cheese grits were good with the bacon. Pork chop was very good and large. Green beans were sautéed rather than country style and still had a snap to them. Honey rolls were disappointing. Prices much too high for the quality. God across the street to Mission Barbeque for better food. read more

While staying at the Opryland Hotel came across this restaurant and stopped for lunch. Had the pulled pork sandwich and loved it! Tasty coleslaw too! Excellent service and friendly staff! read more

Stopped here while exploring the beautiful hotel. The food was wonderful. The menu was short but it was still difficult to make a decision. Everything we had was fabulous! Yummy =) read more
