Four of us stopped in here from lunch on a layover on a trip to New Orleans. It looked crowded but we got a seat right away. The waitress was good and quick! there was also a live singer in the place. The food was actually very good considering it is in an airport. I had a burger! Definitely one of the better places i have eaten in an airport. read more

This place is always very popular and busy. The staff is very helpful and great service. This afternoon, they had live music which was delightful. They offer fun drinks and souvenir mugs for kids. The cocktails were terrific. My wife and I split a BBQ Burrito, the Big A** Burrito. We couldn't believe how FANTASTIC it was. read more

Open seating. Lots of room for you and your luggage! New local bands play on the stage to entertain as you wait for your flight. Typical over priced food and drink. $18 for a Gambler shot (Buffalo Trace, lime juice and wilted basil leaf) Cajun chicken sandwich had a smear of avocado and crispy bacon. Not spicy. Stay away from tots..... they are fried and soggy.. Excellent servers! read more

After an unplanned detour thru Nashville and a 6 hour layover, we found ourselves at Ole Reds for a needed meal. We each had the Hangover Helper, which was a LOT of food. The bacon and chicken strip were excellent - fresh, meaty and perfectly cooked. The gravy was meh and the biscuits just mid. However, it was overall one of the best airport meals I've had. Their coffee was hot and table service from Charlsie pushed this over to a 5 star review. Where else but Nashville can you eat a great meal with quality entertainment? The music by Ajaye Jardine was delightful. read more

My first time here at Ole Red in Nashville, Tennessee. We ordered the Nachos, chicken salad, and the steak tacos. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is for the fast service and the friendly service. Hannah was wonderful. A keeper! Made sure we had everything we needed. The tacos had sauce on it that we had to make sure it didn't have. She immediately took care of it for us. The food was nothing special plus they had live entertainment featuring Megan Wilder. I'm sure she is good in her own way and having her I'm sure attracted new customers but she didn't sing only country songs. It included Fleetwood Mac and Train. I thought this was a country restaurant. Oh well. Not knocking her at all, just was not expecting it. Would I come back? I'm on the fence with that one. There were a few items on the menu I would love to try. read more

This is a spot that does the job, pretty consistently, for a fun and easy airport experience. I fly through Nashville pretty often and I've been to Ole Red a handful of times. There is plenty of seating - bless - and the service is actually pretty fast and solid. The food and drinks are decent and I can always find something that will satiate me. Only downside is if you go during breakfast time, the menu is a little limited. And sadly, last time I was there, they were out of champagne and two of the main dishes. But don't worry, I got a drink and a meal that made me happy and gave me what I needed. I'm a big fan of the live music and chill vibes - it's just an easy place! read more

Great atmosphere with modern decor. Three different floors. First floor is main stage country music. Second floor has a view of first floor with tables. Third floor is rooftop and has a non country band with full bar and view of downtown Nashville. There's two full service bars. I didn't eat anything here. Just had drinks and listened to live music. I saw food that was brought out to other patrons and it looked like American fare bar food. I definitely would recommend this as a hangout place for drinks, groups and live music. read more

Airport with licensing to the Nashville bar. The live music is good, but loud. The seating is not reserved, so groups have trouble sitting together. The menu is sandwiches and drinks. Not much variety, and no BBQ. Good place to relax and listen to music when waiting for a flight. read more

We ordered the Freakshow Chardonnay (which I liked!), Vodka Soda, the Pork Tacos, and the Nachos. My daughter LOVED the pork tacos... she highly recommended them. Hubby and I split the nachos and they were decent. There wasn't a lot of cheese so I'd ask for extra or queso on the side for dipping all the naked chips if I had a do-over on the order. We liked the pickled jalapeños. I asked for a side of sour cream and was charged $1.00 for (literally) less than 1 tbsp of sour cream. We massively enjoyed eating at a place with live music - if you're gonna be in Nashville & have time to kill at the airport, why would you choose a restaurant sans live music? Our server was sweet. I'd have rated this a three-star restaurant but am bumping it up for the live music offered. read more

Ole Red - Ole Red's Nachos: they were decent. Recommend asking for a side of queso to dip the baked chips. - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

As an airport restaurant, this place isn't bad, and provides a great Nashville experience on your way in, out, or passing through. I got to the airport pretty early and was looking for a place to sit, get some food, and get some work done. I was waiting by the entrance to be seated and was informed it was open seating. I grabbed a seat and waited a while before someone came by to serve me. Ole Red's food looked pretty good and I enjoyed the live music. I ordered the redneck nachos, they were massive! The nachos were decently good and I would get again, but probably not if I'm by myself. read more

Ok, so obviously, it's an airport restaurant / bar. I generally have very low expectations of this combo. The layout is convenient (seat yourself), lots of tables and bar area. The servers were super friendly and helpful. The menu is what you would expect with a couple of extras thrown in for good measure. The beer options are fairly decent along with a fully stocked bar. My favorite part is that they had live music. A pair of young men who were very talented and interacted with the audience really well. This is a surprising extra that makes Ole Red just a little better than the others. read more

This is the 2nd time we've stopped here. We learned from the first time about the extra alcohol tax. I had a double burger that was pretty good. It was a little dry. My husband had the quesadilla. He said it was just okay. It's nice to listen to live music during your layover. The tables are so close you feel like you are on top of each other. It's a nice place to sit waiting for your aircraft. read more

What a treat! Had an incredible dining experience at the Ole Red Restaurant in the Nashville airport. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw--what a bonus!--and the tater tots were probably the best we've ever eaten. To top it all off, rising country star Woods Weston was performing live. A perfect mix of great food and fantastic music. Highly recommend! read more

I'm giving this a 5 star keeping in mind it is an airport joint. C concourse. Live music is a MAJOR PLUS. Our server Blake was amazing -- friendly and efficient. He literally stopped my wife from creating a drink that would've ended up being insanely expensive and steered us in the right direction. Beer selection solid. We had a chili dog that was huge and tasty. Could've used more chili but ... I would come here again for sure! read more

The service was great - felt very welcomed. Our server was busy, but she was kind. My issue was with the food. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was extremely dry with minimal bbq sauce. My wife got the taco salad and they forgot the taco meat. Just not very well done from the kitchen. The live music was great and an excellent touch. Overall enjoyed it. I wouldn't get food again. I did have the margarita mocktail and it was excellent. read more

No service. Ignored by four servers walking back and forth. Don't go if in a hurry. Can't tell you about the food. Ambiance is dark, dark. Service in Tootsies is great and the singer is better. read more

Was the most lively eatery at the Nashville airport given the live music and decent food. Located near the gates, Ole Red had plenty of tables and bar seating surrounding a small stage for performers. The specialized in southern dishes and offered a relatively large selection of alcoholic beverages. Unfortunately they were out of the sangria cocktails during my visit. The bartender was very fast at making drinks while the food took around 15 minutes to come out given a packed house. =ORDERED= *Kiss My Country Grilled Chicken Sammich: came with a side of fries or tater tots. Although the tots had a crispy exterior, the insides were gummy and underdone. The chicken breast was tender but the cut itself was very thin. Despite being described as balsamic marinated, nothing stood out from the average chicken breast. The ciabatta roll was cold and I was underwhelmed by the amount of red onion and arugula. The jalapeno and peach jam added some brightness but there was limited spread. *Cherry Limeade: had two and they tasted different both times. The second was notably more boozy than the first. Missed the fresh lime both times and tasted closer to cherry medicine. Wouldn't have stopped by unless I had a long layover but at least the free entertainment was pleasant. Gave me a full and buzzed stomach for an expensive price. read more

Extremely disappointed with our experience at Ole Red Nashville. We waited at our table for quite a while before even being acknowledged for a drink. The service was inattentive, and our waiter had an unpleasant odor, which made the experience even worse. With three staff members just standing around at the hostess stand, we finally decided to leave. Definitely not what we expected from such a well-known place. read more

Airport dining can be overpriced and underwhelming but Ole Red made it enjoyable. The dining room is vast but shrinks with the live music and the warmth of the room. People tend to sing along. The food was decent and filling and the service was fast and polite. Note that the biscuit and sausage gravy was really gravy with some over cooked segments of sausage casually tossed on top. Restrooms are not provided in the facility so make sure to use the airport options. read more

As airport restaurants go, this one pretty good. Near the "C" gates, it was convenient for me. And, I am a fan, so I had to stop in. The setting is pretty cool, live music and designed like a bar downtown. Unfortunately, the food is about average, nothing really special. There are a lot of choices for an airport bar, it the bigger I had was mediocre at best. It tasted like it had been frozen and the bun was stale. If I were Blake (and clearly, I'm not) I'd be disappointed since this is kind of like advertising for the Broadway place downtown and doesn't make you want to go there. read more

The service is amazing my server was super attentive and amazing, the food portions for the price isn't that great, they try and make them bigger by just spreading the food out on the plates. I do love the live music and the feel of the place, it's very cozy it makes u feel like you're not at a busy airport. I would come back if the portions were fixed. The cold slaw wasn't good at first but then the manager went back to the kitchen and had them remake it with more vinegar and more flavor, it was way better then I should know I work at a bbq restaurant and make cold slaw all the time with my dad who is from Louisiana and I'm also from Tennessee so should know what good slaw is ;) To the servers again it was great! read more

Last stop before our flight home. Decided to get a burger at the airport before we fly. One thing about Nashville, there is music everywhere. Even at the burger spot at the airport. She took requests and even sang my song. She was amazing!!!!@MEGANWILDERMUSIC) My Husband and I both ordered the Barnyard Burger with fries and it was good. I don't do uncooked egg yolks(No Ma'am!) but that was my fault. I should have asked. All in all it was a good burger to tide us over until we get home. DMV here we come! read more

For an airport location it was great. Food was delivered quickly and hot. Tasted fresh. Service from Carly was friendly and efficient. Checked back to see if anything was needed a couple times even though she was very busy. Prices are high ($5.00 for a soft drink) but they usually are at the airport. Unfortunately we are a captive audience. I would eat here again when passing through. The live music was very enjoyable and appreciated. Five stars as compared to airport restaurants/bars. read more

This restaurant did have great live music. However my order took over 30 minutes to arrive. When it did part of it was still frozen. The manager gave me half off selling only had to pay $20 for my frozen food. The meat was not frozen so I did eat that. It was slightly warm and probably would have been delicious. If it was actually hot however, I have to say the serving sizes underwhelming it probably was a 3 ounce serving of meat. I'm just glad that with my half off discount I'm able to go grab a slice of pizza. read more

Ole Red - Name of business - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Early morning flight with plenty of time. The restaurant was pretty empty. Two waitresses and a bartender. The bartender said we could sit anywhere they didn't have a closed sign on a table. Maybe not enough staff or they expected a rush ? Rush never came and our waitress hardly showed up at the table. The two waitresses had to discuss which of the 3 tables that they would wait on. Each table had 2 people including mine. We lost the flip cause we got the crappy waitress. She seemed put out that she had to work at all and was just not pleasant at all. Food was as mediocre as our waitress, who had the speed of someone that partied all night and needed sleep. Blake you'd be appalled at your own restaurant. I'll walk further for better food and service plentiful options in the BNA. read more

Ok... so tbh... it's prob a solid 4, for breakfast anyways. But... I am giving a 5 bc of all the negativity I'm seeing! It's def one of the better airport meals we have had. Our server was overworked but super friendly and attentive. Breakfast was great!! Eggs and hash browns needed salt but flavors were great and it was served hot!! I'm not a big breakfast fan at all.. but I would eat here again and order the country fried steak. It's worth the upcharge! read more

I got Ole Red's burger: burger patty, pulled pork, and a fried egg! The pulled pork was very dry but all-in-all, delicious. The tater tots are not your ordinary tater tots. They're larger and thicker, again, very good. They have live music, which is a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the airport. The staff wasn't as friendly as I'd want, but they were busy and probably understaffed. Pricing was reasonable, for being in the airport. read more
