SOO glad we came here! Food was outstanding and prices were reasonable. I had the chicken parm sandwich (meat was tender and flavor was on point) with several sides and the pesto chicken salad ! Best chicken pesto salad I've ever had. Portion size on the salad was easily enough for two. read more

Mac N Cheez was the best of the best. Not the most crispy but very flavorful. Didn't understand the menu quite but made it work. Service was good and cannot complain. The seating was plenty with it being decorated nicely outdoors. The bar is also a place to visit for a nice sit down. Donelson area has a gem! read more

Everything we have ever ordered here is so flavorful !!! I love phat bites & the good vibes and great food. The Pesto hummus & the sesame noodles are always a hit. The buffalo chicken wrap my friend ordered looked & smelled delightful. The surprise fried potatoes it came with were also immaculate- a southern staple the service is always good and they are happy to recommend their favorites. read more

Great food. Great service. Local place away from downtown. Highly recommended. Very eclectic atmosphere

This old auto shop got converted into this eclectic, hipster, dive bar and eatery. They transformed it for many bands to showcase their talent. The food here are made in the house. It's fascinating to see the graffiti art on the wall and all the unique, colorful artistry behind their interior decor hanging around. They do need updates i their furniture, but I believe this is what makes their place one of a kind. As far as the food I loaded up in with their "Phat special" menu. I enjoyed their pita and hummus appetizer and the salad I got was good. The food wasnt as memorable as the decor. But it is a great place for vegans to vegetarians. There bar and their night life must be a hit. In the area.. read more

What a great spot! Sunday is bottomless mimosas for $20, they have tons of flavors to choose from. They were delicious! They was also a live band playing. Food is order at the counter, drinks are order at the bar. The decor and vibe in here is very unique, there is a lot to look at. My friend and I were taken back at first, the vibe isn't that welcoming and it was very dark. The food was great! The Mac and cheese was excellent and so creamy. This show was on Triple D so we just had to get that salad that was on the show. The lifelong salad was really delicious, tasted so fresh and the dressing was so flavorful. I loved that they gave an option to just order a small side of it. Our sandwiches were also very good and fresh. There was so much flavor and it came with a lot of food. Overall really delicious food, service was also great. Will definitely return. read more

Every time I go in I think it might be better, but really isn't. I was the only person for a while and I still had to wipe my table down and the tray that held my food was greasy on the bottom. My wrap was good enough. One thing I don't get is that it is supposed to have that cool hippie vibe, but they use a lot of plastic, foam take away boxes and don't recycle cans or compost. so.... This hippie won't come back. read more

Went in for early lunch. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, which came with potatoes and veggies. I ordered at the front then was given a call button for when the order was ready. If I was to critique anything, I would just say maybe a bit of an upgrade on the decor inside to make it a cozier place to be. There is a lot of chaotic decor and paint chipping. I could see this being a good spot for hangover food. The inside is dimly lit, the food portions are good and is a low key atmosphere. The sandwich had a good kick to it for being a buffalo sandwich. Everything was good.

Since moving to Donelson Phat Bites has become my go to for tacos. The generous amount of ingredients they pack into the tacos is just what I like! I usually get one chicken and two steak. They include avocado, rice, beans, peppers, onions and many other things I probably forgot. LOL I drizzle the housemade sauce that comes with it on top and go to town! Unless I'm borderline starving I can only eat two out of the three because they are packed. So far I've only ordered takeout and prefer to order in the restaurant via ordering online. I can't wait for a free Sunday to try out their brunch and unlimited mimosas. read more

Phat bites were always my go-to when I used to live in Hermitage. For burger week I tried their 4/20 burger and it's by far my favorite out of the burger service I've tried this week. The double patties were nicely season and cooked perfectly. The goat cheese and strawberry jalapeño jam compliments each other with sweet and salty action. The potato bun held everything together well and it was not soggy. I also had the sweet chili hummus which was delicious but very garlic (do not order if you are on a date ) I've also had their big jerk and it's my favorite sandwich. With COVID going on I appreciate the signage that masks are required. All employees were wearing masks. My only complaint was the table looked like they are not 6ft apart. Overall I felt safe and they have an area where you pick up your to-go order. read more

Tyler has been great every time I came. Food was great. Will definitely bring my karaoke people back.

Order from the counter or the Bar! Sit and wait for the best food you've ever had! Tender steak with pesto sauce and much more! The Shroom burger just melted in my mouth and so much cheese! The skillet potatoes are so tasty! Not a fan of the spicy pickle and veggies but I give this place 5 Stars!!! Great friendly staff and environment! Everyone was friendly even the locals! read more

I really wish that I could rate this higher because the food and the vibe were great. Unfortunately the service is where Phat Bites fell a little short. When I ordered a to go order, there were a total of 8 people in the restaurant. I waited over 45 mins for 2 orders watching other people get served despite coming in after me. I received half of my order, waited for another 10 mins, the waitress asked what else I was waiting for, I told her, she went back to the kitchen, I waited another 5 mins, and she returned asking if I had a specific protein I ordered in which I replied " I was never asked." She walked away without asking if I did want something despite not being asked- Then waited another 10 mins to get the full order. She did apologize but I can tell that the organization of this place is unfortunately not where it's supposed to be. If we do come back it'll be a preorder so I am not stuck sitting around waiting. read more

Sandwiches well done and that pickle is outstanding (I don't even like pickles). The side salads were noteworthy too.

I talked to Mekai at the front, was given a great introduction to the Phat Bites Universe! He recommended the Heroes Everywhere sandwich, and man I'm glad he did, it was amazing! Grilled chicken with goat cheese and cranberry mayo!!! Lets talk about it!!! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere, 10/10! Phat Bites is the place to be! read more

Phat bites has a very enjoyable and fun loving atmosphere. The staff is fast, quick and extremely friendly. There is plenty of seating for just you or even a party of 8. The vibe is very homely and peaceful. The food is absolutely mouthwatering. The Ruban is the best Ruban i have had in the Nashville area. It's juicy, filling and a wonderful combination of all flavors that just come together and make you feel at home. Definitely recommended as a first date spot. read more

What a quirky place. The vibe is very smoke shop, meets reggae night, meets 2 for 1 locals happy hour spot, meets gourmet sandwiches and bites. I love how every time I go I notice something new in the eclectic decor. The staff is always friendly and chill. The food is a highly curated menu of fresh flavorful entrees, burgers, sandwiches and salads to make everyone happy. My regular order is the Hero's everywhere sandwich with fresh chicken, goat cheese, cranberry mayo, lettuce and tomato on sourdough bread. So good. During my last visit I had grilled chicken Caesar wrap. It was really good. Everything I have tried so far from the menu is memorable. read more

Phat Bites - Chicken Caesar wrap meal - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The food was always good but I can't eat here anymore. Steady decline in service and food offered. Med-rare steak cooked med-well, jam was fermented in the ramekin. It's impossible to not notice the health code violations and grime everywhere. Like raw chicken sitting out in the sun near the smoker for over an hour-with a dingy table cloth covering it. It's fallen far from its DDD days! I hope they can do better in the future. read more

Everything is self serve, no wait staff, you go get a menu, go back to your table with it, decide what you want to eat, walk back up to the cash register, order your food and pay. As is so typical these days, the last screen on the register for paying is a huge screen, asking for tip requests - with 20%, 25%, 30% automatically calculated, or even a "custom" choice. The screen was so large that it boldly hits you in the face. I'm old school, don't believe in tipping in advance as I don't know how good the service or food is. I mean, that's what tips are ALL ABOUT...RIGHT?! And especially in this case where everything is self serve, and food hasn't been served. Tips are based on service and quality of food. The manager was standing right there, and I said.... "how can I decide how much to tip when there's been no service and quality of food is unknown? He kinda rudely said..."well don't put anything down then". Contrary to what I really believed, I went ahead and decided to pre-pay for a tip anyway, choosing the 20% pre-calculated amount (it was wrong in any event because it also calculated the tip including the taxes, which is INCORRECT). Went back to the table and waited for the food to be ready. While waiting, there was grunge music playing (not nearly my choice) and it was very loud. The clientele was a little bizarre, most dressed shabbily, and with lots of tattoos (I guess I'm showing my age, huh?, lol). The furnishings were mix and match, none of it was nice, looked like it was put together on a very tight budget, by a person who couldn't see, and with most things pulled from a junk yard (mis-matched tables & chairs, mechanics red metal tool chest used for storing something, just Hodge-podge everything ....looked really cheap). When our buzzer went off (food prep time was OK), I had to walk back up, pull our order from the 3-drawer bin, get my own silverware from the trays, get napkins, condiments, and all else needed, walked back to our table just like a waiter would. The table was sticky as it wasn't really cleaned from the last sit-down self-server. I had to do that also (clean the table). The food was decent, but all in all was just a "meh" experience. They had 1 bathroom that served both males/females (not enough for the place). At the end, I was mad at myself for going against my normal practice of not tipping BEFORE I got anything, ESPECIALLY in a self service place. Won't do that ever again, won't tip in advance for an order that I had to go to them (standing up) and do all service myself. And even though the food was decent enough, I won't go back here again due to both the atmosphere and the total lack of service. This is not my idea of going out for dinner and spending $40 for the 2 of us. read more

#fatjared say...they were on Diners Drive ins and Dives for a reason. This place is a DIVE all the way. Food though, very average. I brought my wife here, and forgot how divey the place was. Not that we care, but you need to come in with the right expectations. Almost everyone who sits outside was smoking, and with a pregnant wife it wasn't the best. I got the tacos, and my wife got the Ninja Bomb Sandwich. The tacos were above average. Had all 3 protein options (steak, chicken, tofu), there was a perfect amount of sauce, well cooked veggies, soft tortillas, and a good flavor. My wifes Ninja Bomb was below average. The fruity salad dressing overpowered the bite. We didn't finish it, and that is a very difficult for a guy like me to do. Inside it is run down, but it should be, and they had Yu-Gi-Oh on the TV so it got me hyped up with how much I love that show. Yes I said love, present tense, because I do STILL love that show. Overall, average experience, but probably won't be back. It's fun to try, but not a normal hang out for me. read more

I am a frequent customer of Phat Bites and always buy Hummus and Chinese Chicken Salad. Let me first say I stood at the counter waiting to place my order for over 5 minutes while 2 employees stood and talked. Their Chinese Chicken Salad is usually very good. It contains chunks of chicken breast, grapes and cashews. This time it was extremely salty, has a grape here and there and after searching finally found one cashew. This salad appeared to have been thrown in a food processor, with a heavy amount of salt and served. Not good at all! May I add, and this is my opinion, this new locations decor leaves much to be desired. It doesn't look like a place you would want to dine in and its very dark. It almost doesn't look very clean. Their old location was much better! read more

It has been many years since trying them again. Not because it was bad. There are just so many places to eat at. I got the Julius Caesar salad. That chicken is awesome, and the salad and dressing are good also. The hummus and pita on the side was also good. I got a side of sesame noodles, and they were decent, but not special. And for dessert, banana bread. It was not bad, but the French toast version looks wonderful. Salad 4.5 noodles 3 Hummus 4 Banana bread 3 read more

Not sure why this spot only has 3 stars! My husband and I popped in on Tuesday night for an after-live music date night bite, and we had a great experience! We sat at the bar and enjoyed tofu tacos, a steak quesadilla, queso, salsa and chips, they were all delicious. It all tasted fresh and homemade, and the quesadilla was perfectly greasy and hearty following all the wine I enjoyed earlier in the evening Food came out quick, and the bartender was awesome! Very happy with this affordable, laid back dive, and will definitely be back. read more

It was late when we got it. There was some commotion with I'm guessing the cook and the counter help. I almost went some where else. We were told to order from the bar. Glad we stayed. The bartend was a good guy talked when he came down to pour drafts and check on us. The food was amazing and the sample if the coffee milk stout.(I'm not a stout guy) was great. Then there is the food. The food was outstanding. I had the queen b steak dinner. The potatoes were some of the best I've ever had and the steak was juice and soft. My gf had the quartile mac and cheese. Both were out of this world and definitely glad we stay. The bartender and the food saved the day. Thanks bro read more

The food is amazing. Highly recommend stopping in and ordering any of their selections. I have several favorites. Although I miss the old location with the graffiti carwash, the new location has a lot more seating and has a large outdoor seating area. Julie the owner is super nice. Very relaxed atmosphere. read more

Definitely one of the favorite places to get fresh cooked food or yummy fresh wraps. They have a great ambiance that makes you feel welcomed. There are tons of seating available, especially for big groups of 25 (which I have done before)! The staff is great, very helpful and super chill. They recommend great dishes on the menu and also give a well explanation on what is on the "daily menu." They also have local artist that come and play during the evenings. read more

I have partaken of Phat Bites fantastic food for a few years now and have recommended Phat Bites to everyone I could. All that has changed as of late. I have since rescinded my recommendations. Let me explain... Again, I am a HUGE fan of the menu. But due to observations of unhygienic conditions, I cannot suggest this restaurant any longer. A couple of months ago, I watched patrons enter the dining room with dogs in tow. After deciding that this is more of a hipster type establishment and trying to "get with the program" I relented and did not say anything about the dog running around the interior dining area. But, before I finished my meal, the dog was then in its owner's lap with it's front paws now on the table surface. I thought, "Surely, someone will say something about this". No one did. I left fairly disgusted at that behavior in a restaurant dining area. On a subsequent visit, the restaurant got three strikes in one visit. Strike #1: My attention was drawn to some movement out of the corner of my eye. As I turned to see what it might be, I found it to be a mouse making itself comfortable and enjoying a bit of a delicious food item on the main dining area floor. (At least it confirmed that the food is very tasty). He hung out for about 15 mins as he completed his meal, before he left without even leaving a tip. Strike #2: while my dining partner was enjoying her meal, a look of confusion and disgust overcame her face as she pulled a piece of clear plastic from her mouth. Our best guess was that it was a piece of food wrapper from one of the meal's ingredients. She spent the rest of our visit stifling her urge to vomit what she had already consumed. Strike #3: earlier when we were entering the restaurant, we observed another patron with a small dog. I did not give it much weight this time as they were in the outside dining area. Again the dog was in it's owner's lap while he ate his meal. But, as we later departed the building after the first two strikes, there he was. Now, the dog owner I observed as I entered the restaurant was feeding his dog by laying bits of food on the tabletop for the dog to lap up as it sat on and walked around in the tabletop. With this totality of circumstance, I must rescind any recommendation that I have previously made. As a former restauranteer and a person of common sense, I can no longer submit myself, my family or friends to these unhygienic conditions. In a time of hyper vigilance against things that might effect out health, I choose to dine elsewhere. I am going to miss that menu!! read more

Absolutely loved the vibe of this place. We showed up midday with a large group and they were able to accommodate. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I ordered the Caprese sandwich. It had excellent flavor and the ciabatta hoagie was soft and fresh. The skillet potatoes were excellent. My daughter ordered the wings and Mac and cheese. Just a heads up that the wings are smoked and not fried. She did not love the Mac and cheese - but southerners are picky about Mac and cheese. They had tons of bottled/canned drinks to choose from. The menu has a variety of different foods to pick from. I would totally come back here and recommend to others. read more
