    Up close and personal with Pickles & Onions
    Adam H.

    My C found this one on ye ol' Yelp app... It looked promising. The whole family style dining is a cool. I generally dig anything people just bring me to eat without me asking so this seemed like the place to be! Walked in and was offered a table in a wooden shed like room. No thanks. Waited on something in dining room to get cleaned as they were all dirty or sat. Same young lady that sat us, waited on us. Her name was Mackenzie. She was very sweet, a little scattered, but took care of us well. She forgot we had not ordered and was avoiding my summons because she thought I wanted my food, LOL. She reminded me of my cousins kid when she was younger except a lot nicer than my cousins kid. We were torn on what to get so we got the Sampler Platter (that might not be the name). It sounded like a winner. C like clam strips for some reason, I liked the other stuff. Mac let us know she would be charging us for one set of sides since we only ordered one meal. Cool. No worries. I ain't trying to get one over on Unc, dang.... ;) I dug the stuff that came out first much more than I liked the combo plate. White beans and hush puppies are my freaking jam! C likes the slaw and pickles, so it was a hit right off the bat. The catfish was gross. One bite and done. The clam strips were clam strips, the alligator was pretty good, but some pieces were so small it was mostly breading. I don't remember the shrimp at all. I am not even sure we had any. Wait.... It wasn't shrimp, it was frog legs, and they were gosh damn delicious! Pardon me for messing that up! Was it supposed to have shrimp? Idk, I was pretty high. It also came with potato wedges, I am a sucker for those delicious coated potatoes. Back to the frog legs though, we bartered over who got more. Good stuff! I am really glad I didn't fall for the AYCE catfish. That would have been disappointing. I will see if I can get by here again sometime. Future Adam safe and recommended!! However, I do not recommend the catfish! '25 - 86/111

    2pc fried fish and 2 pc fried chicken

    Uncle Bud's Restaurant does not disappoint! The outside facade and interior were as expected. What was unexpected was the quality of not just the food, but the staff as well. I ordered the 2 pc fish and 2 pc fried chicken. The fixin's of 3 crispy fried hush puppies, 2 dill pickle spears, sliced onion, a bowl of creamy cole slaw and a bowl of extremely tender white beans arrived very quickly. Before we even had a chance to sample each fixin', our main entree arrived. My platter arrived with wedge cut crispy french fries, 2 medium size catfish fillets and a large chicken breast and wing with a fluffy biscuit and a wedge of lemon resting on top of everything. The fish had the perfect light crispy batter that paired well with their extremely thick tartar sauce. Delicious. The chicken also had a light batter that hid the perfectly cooked chicken that was still juicy and surprisingly tender. Our waitress, Stephanie was great and was constantly checking to see how we were doing. She offered us a free side of mashed potatoes and mac and cheese (this week only to see how the customers liked them). Both were also very good. Overall, a great find and one worthy of a return visit.

    Personally, Uncle Buds a childhood gem. Although many locations have closed this Donelson location is still going full steam ahead. My mom and I spent the lunch hour over a much needed catch up and all you can eat fixings. Hot beans, crunchy hush puppies, fresh coleslaw, crispy fries and pickles to our hearts desire. Our waitress Quin was the best and we had a great experience.

    Great southern food and hospitality. A must to try snd return.

    While in the area on a golfing trip we found this great place to eat. Show casing fish, chicken and sides it was a must try!!! Our server started out by bringing our sides of cold slaw, hush puppies, white beans, and onions/cucumbers in a vinegar base. The sides alone were a meal unto themselves!!! Got our drink order and passed out menus. We enjoyed the sides while perusing the menu. We ordered fried fish and fried chicken. Great meal by all. Not wanting to pass up the dessert we split the banana pudding four ways and went back for another 18 holes od gold full and happy.

    Excellent lunch. Loved the whole catfish and the unlimited sides. Our waitress brought sample of gumbo and jambalaya. The gumbo was good, and I thought the Jambalaya was excellent. Casual and comfortable atmosphere.

    The food was PHENOMENAL! My GAWD!!!!!! I need a wheelbarrow to roll me out of here!! The service was SUPER FAST!!!!!! Food was already on the table when I finished washing my hands!!!!!!!! The ambiance is down home country like me!! The classic country music was the perfect setting!! Our server, BERT, was alright with me!! Attentive and such a great dude!!! Molly the manager, stopped by to check on us and show that pretty smile! I WILL BE BACK!!!!! My GAWD!!!!!!

    Wow .....I have to Yelp this again. Well because it's been a few changes. Adrian you are the BEST SERVER that I seen in a while. Good service is like fishing. Sometimes you catch a good fish and the ones that aren't any good you may throw them back! Food here is always delicious and flavorful. I met the manager today and she is nice as can be. And as crowded as it is, she has time to speak to all her customers. We had a fat catfish platter and a chicken platter. Sundays, you can have all the chicken you want to eat 15 bucks you can have catfish all you can eat every day for $24.99 (whole catfish) or Fillets $22.95. Oh yeah, white beans, coleslaw, pickles, hush puppies, and onions are all you can eat. I love this place. Ambiance is great for families. The only complaint I have is how much weight I have gained from eating this good food,

    The all you can eat sides were great!
    Wayne J.

    Tried this place off of a recommendation from a friend in Michigan. Had a little misunderstanding with the staff from the beginning, but it was quickly resolved. As far as the staff and the food, both were excellent. We'll be back again when in town.

    It was my 1st time here but definitely will be my Last! The second we got seated, a few plates of pickles, cabbage slaw etc they called "Fixings" were placed on the table and we were told it's unlimited (concept similar to Olive Garden's bread sticks or Korean banchan) although cool I wasn't interested in eating it. The type of food served here is not my usual cup of tea (Catfish is not Kosher) and likewise my child wasn't interested in it either. We decided to share an entree. The server said she'd have to charge my child and I, a $9.95 fee each for sharing the Fixings (that I didn't want) and The Mgr explained that was the policy of the owners and there was nothing she could do about it. Well, I will never be back.

    AYCE whole catfish!
    Tim D.

    AYCE Catfish! We got both whole catfish and filets. My preference is the whole fish though both were excellent. The whole fish gives you that buttery fat against the bone that is heavenly. Also, having a little less batter in each bite gives you a "cleaner" flavor. You just have to get good and scraping the meat away from the bone. I will be back soon to take on 5-6 whole fish! The fixins are great as well and also AYCE!

    Sharyn L.

    Great service and a ton of food. Rolled outta there! Catfish, fried oysters, clams, and shrimp! Yum. My favorite though was the hush puppies!

    Annie H.

    I wanted this to be better than it was. The fried food just wasn't very crisp. And they forgot to bring a lot of the sides. It was passable but there are better places in the area. The Diet Coke was superb.

    I'm going to start this review saying the gumbo I had at The Southern Steak & Oyster was the best…read moregumbo I had in my life! It's my last night in Nashville so I want to go to a bang zoom restaurant. A few of my co workers have said to me: Mr Bill, we see every night you're going out to some amazing spots. Mind if we tag along? Sure, the rules are to keep your fork outta my plate when we sit down. Deal? The restaurant is very large, we're shown to our table. Set in the middle of the dining room and facing the bar. The bar can seat at least 25 people, the restaurant is set up for fun. To get our party started, I ordered a well crafted cocktail: Tea'd Up Old Fashioned Made with Bourbon, Black Tea and House Barrel Aged Bitters. Funky?? Oh yeah I'm with a bunch of Military Veterans and they're telling me their crazy stories. I'm sippin' my Old Fashioned and taking it all in, we need to bond over drinks and crazy things we all drank overseas. As an adult, I can appreciate my Nashville TN Old Fashioned with Black Tea. While we're talking, our waitress drops off a plate of homemade biscuits. The biscuits are fire! Buttery, flakey and moist, The Southern Steak & Oyster can make a damn good biscuit. Next, my Gumbo comes to me. The first taste I can tell this is a chef'd up dish. Better than anything I had in New Orleans. This gumbo is filled with Andouille, Crawfish, Shrimp and Fried Okra. Very flavorful indeed. My last entree in Nashville will be Fish 'N Grits. Fresh fish topped with Spicy Tasso Ham over Sweet Potato Grits and Bacon Braised Cabbage. This is a flavorful dish, the grits are very creamy and the cook on the fish was spot on. We had a great night at The Southern Steak & Oyster, it was a pleasure to dine at your restaurant.

    I have a tough time in writing this. I've been here twice. I can only write a Pros and Cons as I…read morewant to be fair Pros 1) selection of oysters is fantastic 2) the Shuckers really are carrying the bar seating 3) everyone is super nice Cons 1) now remember I was at the bar seating, Other than the shuckers and who I think are awesome. On one visit with only a few of us there our bartender disappeared for a good 20 minutes. Upon his return he was focused on everything but the 5 of us in the place until we finally had to ask to get service. The other visit everyone helped me but the actual server. Maybe this is a staffing problem, I don't know but being stuck for 20 minutes to order another drink with my meal is not acceptable. Although they had that check in my hand in under a minute and in under another minute to process. Again, super nicer people, but kind of oblivious. 2) Now let's talk about the kitchen. And I'm adding some input from the other diners because we all sat there waiting. - flavors are great, but the salt and spice level is overboard. I had the mushroom appetizer and nearly choked/coughed to death. I like heat but this was raw spice that overpowered the dish. And the salt about made my feet swell into balloons. Such a shame because the idea is great just poor execution - deviled eggs. Pass - BBQ Shrimp, sort of like the mushrooms right profile but overpowering - gumbo. Two other people had the gumbo and when I asked they said that too is just over spiced I want to like this place, but probably my last visit unless I just come for oysters. Sorry

We were so happy we gave this a chance and waited the hour+ to get in. Without doing much research, the surprises throughout the dining experience made it even better. They pair you up at a large table with other guests. You're introduced as cousins, brothers and sisters, friends, whatever you want! But you're going to be passing dishes the entire start and getting to know your neighbors at the table. So many things came out that were incredibly delicious to try. Chicken, pot roast, mac and cheese, corn mash, coleslaw, potatoes, sweet potato, biscuits, pasta! All of it was incredible. There's peach tea and lemonade too at the table and a pecan dessert at the end. Amazing experience and it was so cheap too. Only recommendation other than to absolutely try this place is to be respectful of the time you're there. They cycle people in and out pretty quick and you're given a card to remind you that when you notice tables near you getting reset for another group, your time is up and it's time to go!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by one of the sweetest hosts, who made us feel genuinely welcome. We had made a reservation, and our table was ready immediately, making for a smooth and stress-free start to our meal. I would highly recommend making a reservation at least a day in advance--two days if you're visiting on a weekend or during peak travel times. It was clear this place is popular, and for good reason. Our server, Cody, truly made the experience unforgettable. Hands down, he is the best server I've ever had anywhere. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the menu, explain the daily specials, answer all of our questions, and offer recommendations based on what we were looking for. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality elevated our entire dining experience. We ordered the pancakes, omelets, and of course, the famous biscuits. The biscuits absolutely deserve the hype! They were warm, buttery, fluffy, and practically melted in your mouth. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious, and the omelets were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. One thing I really appreciated is that while Loveless Cafe offers a supper menu in the evenings, breakfast is served all day. That's perfect for anyone like me who believes breakfast tastes good no matter what time it is! It's easy to see why Loveless Cafe has become such a Nashville staple. Between the warm Southern hospitality, outstanding service, and incredible food, this was an experience we'll be talking about long after breakfast. If you're visiting Nashville, or even if you're a local who hasn't been yet, put Loveless Cafe at the top of your list. And if you're lucky enough to have Cody as your server, you're in for an exceptional experience!

The server couldn't have been nicer. He was even the one to suggest to us that he preferred the pork chops over the ham. That was such a good choice to me. Sadly, we didn't have coffee this morning because we had a long scenic drive and didn't want to make any more stops than necessary. But I bet he would've been right on the ball with those refills. The ambiance was great. It was such a nice layout and had interesting decor that made you feel you were a guest at their house. It also had that perfect occupancy where you could tell how popular they were but not so crowded you had to wait for a table. I'm definitely coming back here next time I'm in Tennessee because this place is a great find.

    Even before my current trip to Nashville, I'd been a fan of Husk. I forget if it was independent…read moreresearch, Breanne in my ear about her trip to the Charleston location, or it just showing up on my feeds that put it on my radar first, but I've been telling myself this is a must-visit restaurant. I even had a chance to go before, when Toby and I had made plans in 2020 to come to the city. Obviously, we know what happened then. I think it was worth the wait. I loved their whole take on Southern cuisine. From the confit wings in Alabama white sauce to their Bucksnort trout, to their Heritage pork--everything tasted delightful. Admittedly, the bright green sauce and saturated Carolina gold rice looked a little funny to me. But once I had my first bite I thought it was heavenly. The server was impeccable. He was courteous, quick, and helpful. I had questions about the menu and concerns about if the arrangement of dishes ordered were too much. But he made the whole meal better with his suggestions and assurances. Even the other incidental staff were well-trained, filling the water and always assisting with the experience. The ambiance was picture-perfect. Obviously the place is permeated with charm and class in equal measure. It felt like we were eating in our well-off friend's home and had put together a spread of time-tested country favorites but with a twist. From the decor to the herb and vegetable garden outside, I felt super welcomed and comfortable. Yes, Husk was a success. I'm a changed man because of the experience. Sufficed to say I will be recommending it to even more people than before and will be waiting like a puppy at the window back home for the next opportunity to come back to Nashville and/or the other locations for my next meal.

On the other hand the chicken was a hit with our friends as well as the trout. Wishing the very best to the staff going forward

    Urban Grub in Nashville is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem from the moment you…read morearrive. Famous for not having a sign, finding it may be part of the adventure, but once you do, everything else is effortless. Parking is simple--just pull up and valet takes care of the rest. With a reservation, we walked right in with no wait. The most difficult part of the evening was deciding what to order because the menu offers so many tempting choices. I selected the Kvarøy Arctic Salmon, while my wife chose the Springer Mountain Farms All-Natural Chicken. Both dishes exceeded expectations. The salmon was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It rested on a bed of greens with a subtle lemon flavor that paired beautifully with the fish. The chicken was equally impressive--moist, tender, and packed with flavor. What stood out most was the incredible smoky aroma that hit before each bite, making it even more irresistible. For dessert, the Blackberry Lemon Bread Pudding was the perfect finish. Soft, warm, and bursting with flavor, it was a standout ending to an already exceptional meal. From the outstanding food to the attentive service, Urban Grub delivered a fantastic dining experience. Make a reservation, enjoy the meal, and see if you can find the place.

They were not what I was expecting but they were good. They are more like a crab hush puppy. The Alabama white sauce that came with set the beignet off!! The grits...the grits (chefs kiss). Very flavorful. The steak was good. Didn't even really need an additional sauce. White linen type of vibe. We got to sit in the VIP area/chef table. I will definitely be back!!

    4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $75 03/20/2026 This place caught my wife's eye during her reviews of places to eat while staying in downtown Nashville and was an easy walk from our hotel, so it was our first dinner destination after arriving. The small signage made it a little difficult to find inside the Marriott (see pictures), but from the moment we walked in, heard the live piano player and saw the dining area - we knew this would be a great experience. We started off by sharing orders of Lobster Bisque (see picture) and Burrata with Toast (see pictures). We really enjoyed both of them - the Lobster Bisque was so creamy and smooth and the Burrata was cool, fresh and clean. They were a great combination to start our dinner experience and I would recommend both of them. Since it was a Friday during lent, my wife opted for the BBQ Shrimp Pasta (see picture) and I went with the Daily Fish Special on Blue Corn Grits (see picture). As we always do when we go out, we shared our plates and really enjoyed both of them. The BBQ Shrimp Pasta was rich, buttery and smooth and the Fish Special was a tasty white, flaky and blackened fish served on a bed of rich, creamy blue corn grits. Here again, both are highly recommended. While it is one of your more expensive area stops for dinner, you will appreciate the food quality and presentation at Gannons Nashville for your next special occasion.
