Everything was cooked to perfection. And the combination of flavors were unbelievable. We both thought they were delicious. I can't wait to try making this at home! The decor was great.

Food also came out fast as well! Got the brisket sandwich with hush puppies and bake beans. The brisket was so tender! It paired well with their Jack Creek sauce which had nice kick and sweet and sour taste. The hush puppies are a must! They were had a nice crunchy exterior with a pillowy soft inside. I appreciated that they werent too sweet as well! Baked beans were also solid. It came with a decent amount of bacon in it! Definitely will be back when I'm back in Nashville.

Bakersfield was one of my favorite food stops in Nashville! The location is perfect if you're…read moredowntown, and the atmosphere has that fun, energetic Nashville feel without feeling like just another tourist spot. The tacos were fantastic and packed with flavor. We tried several different options, and each one had its own unique flavor combination. The short rib taco was definitely one of my favorites, and the overall quality of the food really stood out. We also enjoyed the chips and queso, which made for a great starter. The margaritas were another highlight. They were fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the tacos. Bakersfield also has an impressive selection of tequila and American whiskey, so there's definitely no shortage of drink options. The service was excellent as well. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. Even though the restaurant has a busy, lively atmosphere, everything felt well organized and we never felt rushed. I really liked the overall atmosphere here. It's upbeat, casual, and a great place to grab a meal before heading out around downtown Nashville. You can tell this is a place that's meant to be fun while still taking the food seriously. If you're visiting Nashville and looking for great tacos, good drinks, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend Bakersfield. It's an easy 5-star experience for me, and I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in Nashville!

We stopped in to the location on Broadway a little after they opened, and I recommend going early as it gets packed! My brother and I shared their mild chicken tenders, and got a side of fries and beans, at the recommendation of the staff. 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 food was so good, my husband paid Hattie B's another visit at their Nissan Stadium location. 10/10!

The chicken had no crunch, bread was super soft and the pimento Mac and cheese had to be overcooked due to how soft it was. Medium was less spicy than Prince's medium and Bolton's mild.

Nothing that Hattie B's had today.

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!

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.
