Shrimp and grits are wonderful if you like it spicy. Fried green tomatoes are a tasty appetizer.

Great food !! Don't shy way . You'll not be disappointed . Flavor of food is on point.

Fantastic service when we went in late after the OPRY. Got carry out right before closing and the hostess and bar staff were so nice. The meatloaf and beef brisket were fantastic! Would definitely recommend and will go back! read more

The best food at this exit. Barbecue is fab! The best nachos I have had in all of Nashville! Also the staff is alway friendly and attentive. Live music is country but diverse. Love love love this place. read more

No one sang , the food was cafeteria style, the atmosphere was not appealing . Sorry but I would not recommend this place

We stopped here on our way to the airport. It was great! The brisket sandwich was the best!! Maria was fantastic. This was only minutes from where we were staying but has the best food. Great atmosphere and comfortable. Will DEFINITELY eat here on my next trip to Nashville. read more

My husband and I found this place by accident. We were in Nashville on vacation. We were looking to go to the Cracker Barrel across the street for lunch but it was packed. Lucky for us. We sat down and ordered coffee and started to look at the menu and everything looked good. We started out with Chicken and Waffles for an appetizer. Our new obsession. We have yet to find a place that makes it as good in NY. I had the Fried Green Tomato BLT and my husband had a burger. Excellent. Service was awesome and as an added bonus our waiter and other members of the wait staff got up and sang. Fun atmosphere. The next day after a tour of the Grand Ole Opry we decided to go back for lunch again. We did a repeat of the Chicken and Waffes (of course) and I had a half rack of ribs and my husband had Shrimp and Grits. Ribs were excellent but the Shrimp and Grits were a little on the spicy side. Might want to offer that with the sauce on the side (we're lightweights). Will definitely return here on our next visit to Nashville. read more

This restaurant provided a fun and interactive dining experience. The servers are very talented, and it was really neat that one minute someone could be bringing your meal and then performing on stage the next. When someone wasn't performing live, they had recordings from past shows at the Opry. Our service was friendly and fast. The chicken and waffles appetizer was my favorite. read more

still not happy with the way I was treated......made a reservation for a sat. evening two weeks ago before going to the grand ole opry show with my wife as part of our mini vacation.......just happened to look at my email before leaving our hotel room about forty-five minutes before our reservation which I had made thru open table at least six weeks prior.....even received a reminder on Friday from the restaurant....however the email said my reservation was cancelled....I called and the manager simply told me that they had booked the place for a private party and that is why my reservation had been cancelled.....he simply said it was too bad and he offered no type of apology or feeling that he had treated us so badly.....never had this type of thing happen before, so beware......................... read more

Really great food and wonderful variety. Attentive service and singing waiters. It was a fun place with yummy food. Enjoyed it so much we ate there a second time. read more

My family and I went on a Thursday evening and it was very good. The sides here were homemade, score! The macaroni and cheese was to die for. The BBQ beans and cole slaw were great too. They also had steamed brocoli that was steamed really well, it wasn't mushy but crisp - something I feel like you don't often get at restaurants. We had the picnic appetizer as well. The pork shoulder was moist and had a great smoky flavor. The banana pudding rocked! The brisket was a little salty and the fried chicken was a little dry so there were a few negatives but otherwise was a fantastic meal. read more

Save your money!! The food taste like cheap buffet food....very bland!! Even the mac and cheese was terrible. Only think we enjoyed was the live music. read more

Food: I had the pot roast with mashed potatoes and broccoli and cheese. All really good and priced right. Ambiance: You better like country. lol Service: Great. All servers help tend to your table, since at any given moment they can be on stage playing an instrument or singing. Thought: Good food at a good price. As for as the entertainment...let's just say it left me a little hungry. read more

The food tasted good. Service was slow....The bartender had to run both the bar and some tables. Not good! read more

My husband and I both ordered the wet ribs. They were so yummy. Reasonably priced and they had good drinks! The servers were so pleasant and it was really fun to see them start singing on stage! Fun times read more

During our last trip to Nashville we did eat here and the food was magnificent and decently priced. This time, we stopped in to have a few drinks and listen to music. The service, again, did not disappoint and the atmosphere was perfect. The bartender, Josh, was amazing at keeping up with everyone's orders and was very friendly throughout the night. The drinks were also decently priced so we didn't feel like we were getting overcharged. I love that it's spacious and you don't feel overly crowded like some of the bars in the downtown area. The noise level of the bands is also perfect-you can enjoy the music but you're still able to hold a conversation. I would recommend this spot for everyone to check out. read more

Amazing BBQ! Very great service, friendly atmosphere for all ages. The live music was the icing on the cake! read more

Catfish outstanding; customer service warm and personable! The music best part of evening!!! Wish I could hear them more often. Great start to our Nashvikle visit. read more

Opry Backstage Grill - Amazing songwriter night...great music, good food, and warm ambience. - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We sat for several minutes before we were noticed, the lack of attention persisted during our meal. The BBQ nachos were great but we didn't get plates . Our entrée orders were wrong when they arrived. We had to flag servers down for condiments and beverage refills while there were only two other parties in the restaurant. The hostess was welcoming and friendly but it seemed that the servers just wanted us to eat and get out. read more

Great food and nice staff. Was there for early dinner so the entertainment was sparse with a couple "singing waitresses". They were good but only one stage twice during meal. But they do have tables to wait on. Would stop in again later if possible. read more

Shrimp and grits were recommended but the grits were mushy. Dish was spicy hot but that was about it. The trout was very bland. Grits mushy and the pimento didn't pair well. Disappointed. read more

I ordered the brisket.. after a few bites I pushed the plate away (I did eat all the fries).. I asked the waitress if the brisket is always tough. I told her that when I cook brisket it is always soft.. she said she liked it a little tough and yes that is how she said they normally cook it. I really doubt that, I had a hard time chewing it. I don't like confrontations so i made my comments so that she could have picked up that something was wrong. I would have assumed then she would have picked up on the fact that I had problems with it since 90% of the brisket was on the plate and said something.. my bad. read more

An enjoyable dining experience from start to finish! The entire staff and especially our server, David, did everything possible to make us welcome and all were well versed on the menu. The food was excellent. I had the smoked 1/2 chicken and my wife had the pork. Let me say that I am highly critical when it comes to my Que. The chicken was moist and fall-off-the-bone tender but not mushy. Both meats were smoked to perfection and were delivered hot. The Brunswick stew was awesome. It is a true stew and not a lima bean soup. Share a plate or get a to go box. The portions are plentiful and you will want to leave room for the Banana pudding or chocolate gravey and biscuits. The music was fun and the band was professional. You would pay just to for the entertainment. If I am back in Nashville, I will eat heare again and hopefully more than once. read more

My family and I went to Nashville to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday this past weekend. We loved this place so much that we went back again the next night for her birthday. A lot of that was due to our great waiter, Laramie! The food was wonderful- I had the fried chicken and Kirsten had the fried catfish. My husband had ribs one night and the steak special the next. The fried green tomatoes were almost as good as mine. All good! I loved the banana pudding and Kirsten loved the Triple Layer chocolate cake. I had the Grand Ole Mojito- very good! Kirsten got to try moonshine and enjoyed it more than I thought she would. Fun atmosphere and good music. Ask for Laramie- he will make your night worthwhile. read more

The service and singing waiters were incredible.The BBQ was mouthwatering! However, nothing out does the Dolly Parton Banana Pudding...it is literally the best banana pudding in Nashville, Tn. I will be going back any chance I get read more

We had an issue with an item missing with our takeout. Cam saved the day by going above and beyond by delivering the missing item to us and even gave a desert for the inconvenience. The food was delicious and we'd definitely order from them again. read more

One of the best pulled pork sandwiches I have ever had. People were friendly. Waiter performed on the mic which was really good and fun! Great place. Would return if in the area. read more

This was extremely poor service. They didn't have enough staff and a tons of empty tables and we waited for 20 minutes to be served. Service was just over all lousy. Very disappointed read more

New place needs improvement- bad food- high price! We are locals and wanted to eat in Opryland area and noticed this new place so we tried it out along with 2 other couples. We were seated promptly then told it was the opening night of the restaurant. The atmosphere was really nice and we expected things to be a little off since it was their first time serving people. Mgmt people were swarming the place but not very interactive or concerned with patrons. They seemed to be causing un-needed stress on staff. Our waitress did a good job but the food was very poor for the price. Menu has limited options and most items can be bought for half price across the street at Cracker Barrell and would taste much better. Biscuits were burnt and had no flavor. My ham dinner was skimpy and the green beans were not good. It was very dissappointing! I really hope they change the menu soon becuase it has the potential to be very cool. We were very dissappointed. read more

I went to the new place to eat. The location is nice. The food not so much. I ordered lunch in Tennessee, and received no bread with my meal. The prices were high, but the food didn't meet the expectations for higher prices. Next time Cracker Barrel will get my business. read more

Went here on vacation. Got the mac n cheese side and the garlic mashed potatoes side soo good. The mac n cheese was not overly cheesy just right. They give you a lot for a side. The mashed potatoes had garlic but they needed more for my taste. The entertainment was so so they were taking requests but did not know some country singers songs. read more

This is one of the WORST restaurants I have ever been in! Was with a party of five, two of which had not eaten all day and it was 4 p.m. We ordered. Another party and I ordered fried chicken breasts. Twenty minutes later, the waitress announced that they did not have two chicken breasts, but only one! She said it would be another twenty minutes. We said okay. The waitress did not bring out anybody's food. Another twenty minutes went by and still no food for anyone! To give us some food, the manager brought us some cornbread. This was the worst cornbread I had in my life and I am 67! Not edible. After another ten minutes, we told our waitress that we were leaving. They had the nerve to charge us for our soft drinks and the cornbread. Save yourself, do not step into this place!!!!! read more

stayed at a hotel down the road last summer, so this was quick and easy destination to get too.... got seated quickly....cant recall what food we had, but the servers also sang on the small stage and that was wonderful.... a bit touristy but still a fun place.... read more

I applaud Gaylord Entertainment for trying to tie a restaurant in with the Opry, its a shame the food doesn't measure up with the Opry. I just had my one and only meal at the Backstage Grill. I tried their Southern Buttermilk Fried Chicken and instead of corn and potatoes I had Coleslaw and Mac N Cheese. They claim their chicken is Iron Skillet fired, maybe it is, but it sure is cooked in advance, From the time my server took my order until it was delivered to my table wasn't more than 10 minutes, no way their cooking Laminate, their attempting to hold it and serve as the orders come in. The Coleslaw had a bitter note with a heavy hand on the celery seed. The Mac N Cheese was luke warm less than 100 degrees and wasn't a very complimentary blend of cheese's, it tasted strange. The chicken was luke warm, at best it was 100 degrees which spells their going to make someone sick holding food in the danger zone. I mentioned the food issues to my server who took the plate away with an apology. He returned once again with a freshly plated meal and told me to be careful the plate was hot. Once again the Mac N Cheese was not any warmer than the 1st plate and the chicken was just maybe a tad warmer, not piping hot as it should be. What little chicken I did eat had a off putting flavor and texture. The coating was both grainy on the palette and lacked any seasoning what so ever. I visit Nashville every year so I do frequent good eating establishments, sad to say this is not one I will return to since I'm not interested in playing Culinary Russian Roulette. read more

Worst food ever, the Gaylord opryland hotel recommended it so we gave it a try. Nice clean place and nice atmosphere but the food was AWFUL,, read more

Very good food. A little overpriced. Nice atmosphere, laid back and relaxed. The wait staff sings which was nice.

Tasted like food you'd find at a restaurant at a motel. Tried this place based on the Yelp reviews, guess I can't trust my fellow yelpers. The best thing about this place was the Opry archives playing in the background. The wait staff was courteous as well. read more

Enjoyed a couple of meals here during our stay. Solid offerings, good-enough service, good value, but certainly not spectacular. I would return as the spicy BBQ sauce on the brisket was well-balanced. Pulled-pork sandwich was good too, but cole slaw bit on the runny side. read more

The food is honestly sub par but I don't know if it's every night but the live music just was not good...

Good service, but the food is very bland. Maybe I am just used to seasoning my own food. Live music makes it very worth while.
