Great spot! Was in town for work, needed something near the hotel, and this was recommended. Casual, but by no means divey, to be clear--wear a suit, wear shorts, you're good either way. Nicely made cocktails. Excellent food (enjoyed the burgers...yes, plural, I was there multiple nights!). Servers and bartenders are awesome. Highly recommend. read more

Great place to eat around music row. Food was delicious. Got the smash burger and it was flavorful and huge. The truffle fries was excellent. The fries were nice and crispy. The burger was cooked to perfection. The nacho tray was huge and perfect for sharing with the table. The food came out pretty quick. Service was great and the restaurant wasn't super packed for a Saturday night. Staff was friendly. Definitely a place to come back to when in music row.great place for dinner without blasting music at the restaurant the street over. Great selection of drinks from the bar read more

I ordered the steak & eggs. The steak was very very chewy. Rough on my teeth. I was excited for the hashbrown casserole but it was Cold. I ordered the red velvet pancake as an appetizer but the server mixes it up and gave us the cinnamon roll. I was on a date so didn't want to complain or send anything back.... But the cinnamon roll. I tried to cut into it for an Instagram video ... and it clearly didnt cut smoothly. It was hard. Chewy cinnamon roll. Guys. Come on. Yall need some help. read more

Tavern was once a Nashville staple, but my last visit I left a little disappointed. The Nashville Hot Benedict looked delicious, but didn't have a ton of flavor. I had to add salt & pepper to get through it. We did have great service, but there was a pretty bare bones crowd for a summer Sunday brunch read more

So excited this restaurant has reopened. I have been back twice and had great experiences both times. The staff has consistently been great and so has the good. I had the steak frites the first time 5 stars and the pork belly the second time, also 5 stars. Totally recommend for GNO, date night, or group. You will not be disappointed. read more

This upglow is incredible! Our second time here this month. We looove the ambiance, the lamps in the tables, the glasses for water, all the modern decor and windows! There's a couple TVs if you need them but they aren't distracting at all. Parking isn't great, we always just pay for it and walk a block, maybe there's a trick to it that we don't know about. Our favorite thing is the happy hour weekdays before 6pm - $9 craft drinks, starters and pizzas. The pizzas are a really good size, but if you're hungry you won't want to share! We are biiiig fans of the petite salads. Old fashion drink: A+ (great blend and not weak) Kale salad: A+ (currants, almonds, oh my) Eden drink: A (refreshing) Bees knees drink: A (flavorful) Margarita pizza: A (light and refreshing & flavorful) Pepperoni pizza: A (the little cup pepperonis are full of hot honey and it's incredible) Calamari: A- (with peppers A, sauce is good) Smokin Goat salad: A (spicy garlic) Espresso martini: B+ Pumpkin cheesecake: B We will absolutely be back and we highly recommend it! I love their drinking glasses. And they are generous with their drinks. You never taste like they are watered down. Everything is really good and I know you'll love it! Don't sleep on the Tavern! read more

I've been here before a long time ago and the place has changed. I had a great time then. This time wasn't bad either. I stopped for a late snack. I like the new decor but it doesn't have the Taver feel it used to have. It's very modern. I like it though. I sat at the bar. They have a nice bar area and comfy chairs, TVs, music but not too loud. The staff were nice. Parking sucks now in that area but they have plenty of paid parking lots. read more

I came here for dinner with family during the weekday. I ordered the truffle fries to start for the table. For dinner, I ordered a burger and kale salad. I'm not a huge burger girl but this one made me a fan! It was prepared nicely, seasoned well and was a large portion. The kale salad was just ok. The ambiance was very nice and welcoming. I love that the restaurant has its' own lot so you don't have to struggle to find parking but if you go on a busy night, know that the lot is small. Our waitress was very attentive and then the manager came by and gave us a nice surprise dessert! I highly recommend this spot for any occasion as the service is great and the food was very flavorful. I look forward to returning and trying more from the menu read more

Reading through recent reviews, I see that we are all pretty much tracking on the same opinion of Tavern, unfortunately. We went on opening weekend for dinner and had AMAZING service and loved the cocktails and buffalo cauliflower. 3 of our dishes were cold or made incorrectly so we sent them back and they kindly comped them for us. It was a 'just okay' experience overall but we gave them grace since they had just reopened. I went back last week and we could not get over how incredibly slow the service was. We spoke with 3 or 4 different people (server, assistant, bartender) and somehow still had the slowest service I've experienced in a while. There were a handful of other tables but it was pretty dead and they seemed to have PLENTY of people working - so I have no idea what the issue was. Food was decent -- again, the buffalo cauliflower was a big hit and we devoured every bite. The fries were pretty solid and I liked the thin, crispy texture. 4 of us ordered an espresso martini (with reposado tequila) and they came out *very* light - you could see through mine. I sent it back and let them know they needed to check their espresso; it was almost like watered down, leftover coffee. Our party of 5 was there for over 2 hours and we did not order dessert. It was a disappointing experience overall and I really hope they can turn things around. Again, it seems that we are all pretty much on the same page with the way things are going. read more

What a neighborhood jewel this place is. I was visiting town and staying nearby looking for breakfast/brunch options and casually walked by and decided to give it a try. They have great brunch cocktail options, as well as standard breakfast fare with their own unique twists. Sit outside if you have the option and enjoy the cute patio. read more

Love this place. Came for a celebratory happy hour on a Thursday. Seated quickly, the place didn't really start filling up until when we were leaving around 7/7:30. This place has a really nice cozy vibe. Soft lighting, multiple seating options. This would be great for anything from a date to after work drinks. I got a couple cocktails (jungle bird and autumn old fashioned), both were very tasty. Also got the red hot pepperoni pizza which is like a flatbread pizza. Good flavor with just a little spice, I almost always wish there was more pepperoni but that's a personal preference. I would definitely return and recommend this place. I'd love to try their lunch and dinner menu. read more

Once a great place. Food and Service was not good. Restaurant was near empty on a Saturday afternoon.

Newly renovated and opened, the inside was super open and bright. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately by the bar back. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. The drinks were really good and the Eden was super refreshing. The toast was so good! The spread, the kale, the berries, all mixed together were the perfect combination. The hash was just okay. It was pretty dry, but I'm thinking an over easy egg might help with that. read more

We love Tavern! Every time we're in town we stop here for brunch! I had the kale salad and the hashbrown bowl. My brunch drink of choice is the spicy bloody mary and it did not disappoint.

From the greeting at the door with Mary and our amazing server Devin we had a great experience. Before coming here was having a crappy night lol. The nachos were amazing WITH BEST CHIPS I have ever ate and loaded with goodies soo yummy. Hubby had French dip and fries and said was best he ever had. Thank you so much for such a positive yummy experience! read more

The first time we ate here it wasn't the best experience but we didn't want to give up on this neighborhood gem. We went back for Sunday brunch and it was amazing! We started with a grapefruit rosemary mimosa- yum- I had the Hot Chicken Benedict and my husband had the smash burger. Everything was hot and delicious! I am so happy that we didn't allow a busy Sunday from keeping us from returning. Ps- brunch at the bar looked east for a Sunday Funday! read more

Tavern - Nashville Hot Chicken Benedict - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We were so happy to see the Tavern was open again!! We were pleasantly greeted by Lea, a bubbly gal that is new to Nashville. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower app. Omg!! Delicious! The buffalo sauce was served on the side to keep it crispy, with instructions to toss it with the sauce. It was served with blue cheese sauce on the side. I was excited to try the blackened fish tacos, but they were not available, along with a couple other items. I settled for the seared tuna. I was disappointed. It was stone cold. Normally at least the sear is warm. It was served with a bit of cubed cucumber. I will say, I did love the wasabi honey mustard sauce. I managed to grab a couple of my boyfriend's fries. They were hot and crispy shoestring style, and yummy. I'll be back, the atmosphere is awesome, and the staff is so nice! Definitely worth a visit to this newly reopened restaurant. read more

We stopped in after a terrible experience at the Stillery for a cocktail and some dinner. The bartender who was working Sunday July 6 around 415pm (he was from New Hampshire) took excellent care of us! He was friendly, had great suggestion, answered my questions and was quick! The food was fantastic and so were the drinks! The dip appetizer was so good! We will definitely stop by again! I know we always hear the bad but I felt he did so great you should hear that!! Thanks for the great experience! read more

2 years ago, I was SO SAD that Tavern closed. It was my GO TO brunch location (and happy hour!!). I struggle to write this review because my two (yes 2) experiences since the reopen haven't been nearly as positive as my prior experiences. I've gone once for brunch and once for dinner. Here's why my review went from 5 to 2 stars: - The ambiance/vibe has changed. It's moved from casual to a bit upscale in terms of setting. I'm a casual gal! - The sangria wasn't available during the dinner hour. It is available during brunch but there are no drink specials. - Service was a big overbearing and I imagine that they overstaffed for opening weeks. - The burger was awful. Fries were cold. The Tavern Burger is THE staple. It was on a tiny plate. The bun was overpowering everything. It's a no. - The drinks were good though! I can't remember the names of the two we tried but both were great! - The chicken and waffles was nasty. Waffle was hard. Chicken was dry. - They were out of quite a few things on each visit. - The best part - the buffalo cauliflower (as always) I suggest you try it out because it is a staple but hopefully your experience is MUCH better than mine. In that case, I may try it again. Otherwise, it's a no for now. read more

This spot looks so beautiful and polished inside, but food and service left me and my party wanting more. We came just after 4pm on a weeknight for an early dinner and were the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered a drink, and after 15 minutes without the drink and watching the bartender chitchat with the servers I politely asked our server about it, and instead of admitting she forgot or anything she said "he's working on it." Then we watched her go tell the bartender to make the drink and him start on it. The steak was flavorless and tough, and the chimichurri tasted weird, not like what you think of chimichurri. My mom said her fish tacos were fine. We ordered nachos for my boyfriend but she thought we said tacos and brought out more fish tacos, when we told her that wasn't what we ordered she said "hm you definitely said tacos" (we didn't, he's vegetarian). Service blunders happen but it's not cool when we as guests are made to feel like we're wrong when we're not. We would've told our gripes to a manager but didn't see one to tell. They don't have a lot of vegetarian options either, and it's a paid parking lot. For the price I wouldn't recommend this experience read more

Sports bar with amazing food. Came for hot chicken week and wasn't expecting much... least to say, I felt like I got a slap in the face for disrespecting their kitchen. The chicken was beautifully spiced with a nashville glaze, cooked perfectly, and between two delicious buns that had me rethinking my relationship status. I sat at the bar and the service was very quick and welcoming. Had a chat with a few of the staff and everyone had the same reaction- the food is much better here than you might expect from a sports bar. I'll be back to try the rest of the menu and look forward to more reviews read more

The service was pretty slow and the food didn't meet expectations for multiple people in our party. I personally ordered a pizza thinking it would be...a pizza. It was very much just bread with some leaves on top with a pear and clump and ricotta here and there. My friend ordered a steak and said it was possibly the worst she's ever had. She's not one to usually complain about her food but she couldn't eat it. read more

The Old Fashioned and Buffalo Cauliflower were super stars. I also had the Flaming Goat salad and it was fresh, fun and well balanced. My only downside was I didn't find any goat cheese in my Flaming Goat, but it was fabulous otherwise. read more

Best Buffalo cauliflower I've ever had. Mediocre huevos rancheros - it was missing something. Maybe meat or more salt or just flavor in general. Tasty sweet potato fries. Yummy chimichanga and very filling - heated up nicely the next day. Stir fry was incredibly salty - lay off the soy sauce and it'll make a heck of a difference. Most people weren't thrilled with their entrees but really liked the apps. Service was excellent even if the food wasn't. Their brunch 2-for-1 drink deal was great to help make up for the food. It's nice that you can switch between any of the options instead of staying with just one. read more

The newly-opened Tavern is fantastic. Absolutely thrilled with the upgrade. I've been going to Tavern for years and it was always fine, but since they've reopened in 2024, it's like a whole new restaurant. It is elevated in the best way. Our server, Samantha, was delightful, kind, and attentive. I got the kale salad and couldn't put my fork down for a second. My husband got the smoked goat cheese salad and he loved it too, even though he's not really a salad guy often. We shared truffle parmesan fries, which were great too. Lots of parm and not too much truffle to be overpowering. Great work to the team. This was a treat. read more

Brunch after a night on Broadway! This place was a cute brunch spot. It's located in midtown, not far from downtown. It was the perfect spot for a hangover. They offer buy 1, get 1 free cocktails.

I was really hoping this place would be a great brunch place. The service here definitely needs lots of improvement. The food was mediocre. This location has a cute brunch date ambiance. As most brunch places you do need to put your number down on the wait list so they shoot you a text while you're away waiting to let you know your table is about to set up for you. Wait a bit for brunch places is always going to happen. But when we arrived there was a small wait but nothing too major. We went up to the higher bar area to wait away from the crowd. 43 mins has gone by already. So we thought we should just go ask the hosts how much more time is the wait going to be. When she checked the phone number she took down again. The phone number area code was off by one. Instead of taking down 615, she put down 605.. They did sit us down right away after we ask which was alright. After being seated. Our server took our order, but he came back 3 times to ask about our order just to double check. Our table did not have any utensils. We had to get up to ask someone for it. We ordered mimosas and they didn't show up after all our food came out. We had to ask our server when the mimosas were going to come. I ordered the Red Velvet Waffle and White Trash Hash. The Red Velvet Waffle has a light drizzle of cream cheese frosting. And paired with maple syrup. The waffle itself was light and fluffy and crispy on the outside. The White Trash Hash has a very very mushy texture. I don't recommend this side to anyone that doesn't like food in the texture of a ripe banana. I personally don't mind, had small pieces of something similar to shishito peppers. And hints of onions. read more

I decided to come here for a quick drink. I wasn't terribly hungry but still wanted to check out the area and the bar. It's a large space with a large bar area as well as tons of tables and TVs for your sports-watching needs. I ordered the safety in numbers ($12) which was very spirit forward. The service was good and the staff was nice. Overall this is a place I'd love to go to to hang out with some friends while watching the game. They have a lot of specials including late night Monday through Saturday starting at 10pm, half off pitchers Monday through Thursday 2-6pm, as well as 2-for-1 Wednesdays from 2-10pm on select wine, beer, and cocktails. Those are great deals at all times during the day so make sure you take advantage of them! read more
