Visiting from CA, we stopped by Opry Backstage Grill and were welcomed by the amazing Vana! She recommended the Fried Green Tomatoes, and WOW--they were so good we came back two days later! On our return, Cassie took great care of us and was just as wonderful. The Fried Green Tomatoes and corn are absolute must-tries--both were delicious! Vana and Cassie made our experience extra special. If this is Tennessee hospitality, we're loving it! read more

This restaurant saved me at our conference. The service was fast, friendly, and pretty good. We ended up coming here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner since we stayed for a week. The breakfast was the best. The lunch and dinner were pretty solid too. The restaurant is clean and they have tables and booths that can accommodate different kinds of groups. read more

The ambiance is very national CHAIN 'like. What's horrid is, it caters to the 'experienced' pocketbook--yet, the evening lighting is dreary, so you can't see what you're eating. I presume it was clean, but cannot be certain 'cause it was too dark & dreary. (I usually avoid chains.) The host was all 'cheery' and such, but I would have none of it. When you ask, 'how are we?' My response will always be, either to turn around to look and RE-state that it's "dinner for one," or ignore him/them, or possible some other even more rude response (to such an ignor*** comment/question: I don't have a mouse in my pocket--do you, I am not an alien with a foreign entity living in my body, 'do I look pregnant?') Another server showed up and everything, service-wise, took a step forward. I am always clear and very particular on my food. I don't eat pork (clean food and religious reasons--both one and the same) and I don't eat Nightshades (food allergies). I clarified that the brisket was beef. I emphatically repeated that if it was NOT 'fatty' I did NOT want it. This wasn't casually declared . It was repeated, belabored and emphasized. I did NOT want it if it was NOT fatty. And we thoroughly examined the rest of the menu (side dishes) to ensure I could eat they (savory but NOT sweet and no pork). I settled on the Brussels sprouts and corn on the cob. The second server had promised to get my order out to me in five minutes. He pretty much executed--good on him. The brisket: over cooked and dry. I am disgusted that my highly specific request had been so blatantly ignored. The corn on the cob had been 'soaking' in something (water?) and it tasted like laundry water (no I've never drank dirty laundry water but we all know what it smells like and our taste buds respond to our olfactory senses. I haven't tried the Brussels sprouts I'm already so disgusted that I cannot handle more . read more

This place was a BBQ restaurant with some amazing decorations. We all ordered something different so we had to sample each other's food. This place had a unique charm about it. Pictures of artists from the past and some amazing stories to go with them. Gives you a rustic look. Our food came out very quickly and the plates looked good. We all enjoyed our food but I have to say the fried green tomatoes were fantastic. I had the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. I sampled my wife's chicken and waffles and it was also delicious. The other two diners with us said their food was very good We had a very interesting server who had been there quite a long time and he told us several interesting stories about the restaurant A very good experience if you are in town, especially if you are going to the Grand ol' Opry. read more

Went here for lunch on a Saturday. Very bright and fun place to eat. There's a Grand Ole Opry gift shop connected to the restaurant, that has a ton of cool stuff. I had the Smoked Cheese Dip with chips and veggies. It was just ok. I had the Cobb Salad and added grilled shrimp which was really good. My favorite part was the entertainment though. His name is Roderick August, super talented musician and such a nice guy!! He provided such a great ambiance, so cheers to him!! read more

We'll definitely be back! read more

Opry Backstage Grill has great food, service was amazing. Emil was fantastic!!! We will definitely be back!!

Service was good. Three people not my server, stopped by my table to see if I was enjoying my breakfast. That was a little much. Food was good, gravy for biscuits was unusual, a little sweet, but not bad just different. The grits were not good - overcooked maybe because there was no texture at all and no flavor. Sausage links were great! read more

A memorable grill with the Grand Ole Opry ambiance, Opry displays (e.g. guitar and jacket from Marty Robbins), and great decor! Excellent fried green tomatoes, flatbread pizza, surf & turf, and sides for dinner - and then two wonderful southern-style breakfast combinations in the morning - excellent recipes, preparation and delicious! Service was outstanding! We will be back! read more

Oh wow the food was delicious and flavorful and the ambiance of the restaurant is definitely southern. Service was very very basic though - waitress checked on us once during an hour of us setting down for breakfast - not even a small smile. Prices are very fair and the portions are huge The pate in the photo below is $16 read more

Food and prices here were surprisingly good. The waitstaff were friendly and awesome with young kids. I had a meatloaf on toast with fried onions and my husband had a chili soup of the day. Food was American classics and delicious. Coleslaw was good! There were also plenty of Nashville memorabilia to look at in the walls. We found this to be a secret gem in Nashville. read more

Stay here for work once a year. This is only my second time eating at this spot. Usually have lunch as tits pretty quiet and chill. Service was really good. I was seated quick and was able to send in my order right away. Ordered the wings and cobb salad. Both were pretty tasty. Portions were big and ended up taking the rest to go. I haven't been here during dinner and can image it gets busy. I'll definitely be back for more. Thanks for the good food. read more

Service was pretty bad . They acted like we were a nuisance .I think we were the only table in the restaurant asides from the two patrons at the bar . Drinks were not refilled until we could find our server 15 minutes later . Anyways on to the food . Hush puppies were good , cheese dip was like out of a jar from the store , burgers were okay , pork chops were disgusting . read more

This place was good. The service was better. We got seated quickly and ordered quickly. The ambiance was great, there is live music and it was very good. The food. Brisket -- This was ok. The brisket was lathered with a good amount of sauce but still felt a little dry. Garlic mashed potatoes -- These were honestly the best mashed potato's I have had in a long time. Baked Mac&cheese -- This was good. I wish it had a little more flavor ( although this is coming from a southern maw maw ). The Dimond trio -- my granddaughter and her husband got this to split. ( they had A LOT of leftovers ). " all the sauces were really good and paired perfectly with each pice of meat." My granddaughters favorite was the ribs. Wings -- " they were good .... Also very messy " Twice fried tater tots -- these were probably the best thing I ate tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! This was a good dining experience would come back for the mashed potatoes and the tater tots. read more

Got here at 605 on a Friday evening, the place was not packed but because they don't have enough staff it was a 20-25 minute wait. However while waiting there where several waiters standing out front talking to the host staff. We did get seated at 625. Next our server had a hard time understanding English as it was not his first or second language. I ordered a mule and got it served in a regular glass instead of a copper mug. My mule was mostly just ginger beer. Music was by a guy name Leon Long who was sub pare. His music was way louder than his vocals. Food was very hot and fresh. We ordered appetizers for dinner and the food came out very quick. The chips on our nachos were stale, the best was the loaded tater tots. read more

Christine was our server, very attentive. She answered many questions about the food and the different beverages. Was seated quickly. I ordered Brisket sandwich, came with coleslaw.

Jonathan our waiter was very good and food delicious. Would go again, Hostess not very friendly. Would have rated excellent except for hostess, not friendly or polite. read more

We had breakfast here. The place was nice and clean and they had a short menu with some good options. The breakfast potatoes were overseasoned and my sausage links were undercooked. When I told the server about the undercooked pork she stated there had been other complaints and removed $4 from my bill. The server was friendly but service was extremely slow. They were able to accommodate my request for almond milk in my latte. read more

We decided to slide into here before hitting the road for a quick lunch. The restaurant has cute novelty items on display to purchase for souvenirs. The cheesy Opryland theme kind of threw me off and I had low expectations for the food. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Grilled chicken on the salad was so tasty and seasoned to perfection. The burger was really good too. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Glad we stopped in for a quick lunch. read more

If you visit Nashville, TN please don't waste your time eating here. Food is ehh. Service is slow. Ambiance is dark and quiet.

Loooooove this place. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Fabulous food. Went three times in a week. Great bar. Nice dining room. Live music sometimes. The chips are awesome. (Don't bother with dip as they are perfect on their own). Salad is great. Macaroni and cheese is awesome. Good ribs. Good salmon. Good green fried tomatoes. Good everything. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Restaurant was nice with indoor seating and covered patio. Atmosphere was nice. I had brisket sliders, husband had brisket sandwich with fries and son had pulled pork sandwich with fries. Everything was delicious! Prices were good too. The service was excellent and attentive. Our servers name was Shahd and as we were winding down, she went on stage and sang Crazy by Patsy Cline and Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. She had such a beautiful voice and we enjoyed listening to her belt out those two songs. We were not expecting live music so that was a real treat! Right across the street from Gaylord Opryland Resort, Opry Mills Mall and Opry House. read more

The ambiance you will notice right away. It is country music. The service was good, but my server disappeared a few times. Later, I discovered they she us a new mom. She goes to nurse her child.

Went before a Grand Ole Oprey performance on a Friday night. Arrived about 5:15 pm. Promptly seated and greeted by waitress. Singer performing on stage and the place filled rather promptly do to GOO show. Ordered ribs with side of beans and slaw. Wifey ordered salmon with broccoli and a side salad. Meals came hot to the table. Ribs were delicious, sides were tasteless. Not being harsh, but sides had no flavor. Wifey salmon cooked to perfection, very tasty. Broccoli serving was very large. Plenty to share. Nothing bad to say. We were on our way to the GOO by 6 pm and were able to find parking and be on time for the show. Menu is limited which is probably a good idea. Place is not fancy, but has a friendly atmosphere. Service was good to excellent. Value was reasonable. Make note that the restaurant is in a Marriott Bonvoy hotel which was extremely busy. We were able to find parking close to the restaurant, which is a big plus. Would recommend as a reasonable place to eat. Entertainment was only ok. Proteins for meals were very good. Sides needed some more work in flavor. read more

Quite the disservice for these World War II Rosie the Riveters to have a single server for 20+ people, rude order taking and slow (more than 1 hr) for incomplete orders. If they have staffing issues tell us up front. On top of that they won't take cash "unless we get a manager and it will take a while". Food was good enough but the experience for the price is a non-starter. Go across the street. read more
