First We FeastAugust 3, 2014
The throwback country-store feel and homey Southern dishes—fried catfish, Cajun-style chicken and waffles—make it popular not only among the local crowd, but also famous musicians such as Paramore Read more

Tried the early riser and that was really good - simple but well done and pretty cheap! OH had three sweet potato breakfast and it looked and smelt amazing too. Helpful friendly staff, good atmosphere

The food is good with a nice variety! I loved the chicken and waffles and the piggy Mac. Our friends took us here when we were visiting from NY. Overall we were impressed by the food and service!

The smoked meatloaf is incredible! It is the best meatloaf I have ever had! Make sure to get the deep fried brownie Sundae... you won't think you have enough room, but you'll find some, it's worth it!

Get the wings in the famous BBQ sauce to start. Incredible. Great beer selection (I went for the beer of the month and it was superb)
Mike DyerFebruary 17, 2019
The food was really good! I had the Nashville Cheesesteak, it was really good! The atmosphere is nice, but it’s a bit small for that many people!!!

The food is THE best! My favorite place to eat in Downtown Nashville :) staff is very friendly, atmosphere is amazing, & live music!! what more could you ask for? Try the fried green tomato BLT!
Brian StortsSeptember 19, 2018
What especially stood out were the fried green tomatoes, and the side dishes (all of them). The BBQ was great too, well-smoked and done just right. There was a good live music too.

Authentic Southern comfort food and grocery market that offers live music in the evenings. If you can visit the other locations (in Leiper’s Fork or downtown Franklin), I highly recommend it. Read more

Had the southern comfort burger and it is to die for!!!! At first I thought my order was wrong because the hamburger looked like southern fried steak but it was the burger, awesome!!!!

The BBQ chicken was delicious and almost overwhelming in terms of portion sizes. Loved the live music that added to the atmosphere.

A must for the food & atmosphere! This place is a classic in so many ways! Old time grocery & restaurant setting in the middle of a hustling & bustling city like Nashville, Tennessee! Great food!
EileenJuly 13, 2017
Brisket in the BBQ platter was too dry. Same for the pulled pork in the piggy mac. I liked the string bean side with garlic and olive oil. Not on the menu as a side option but the waitress rec'd it
Sigalle BarnessFebruary 3, 2017
Great live music and good food. Sit by the stage for the best seats in the house while you eat!

Delicious whiskey glazed salmon, fried pickles, French fries. Loved the pecan cobbler and blackberry lemon cobbler. Great atmosphere and decor!
Jacob UnderwoodDecember 23, 2016
I had the Friday night Smoked Prime Rib special. It was very good. Be sure to ask them to bring out horse radish, it didn't come standard
Ashley ZarachMay 13, 2012
Great food. Try the fried green beans appetizer. The service was FANTASTIC! Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend this place to locals, visitors, etc.
Cindy RushtonMay 28, 2011
Love this place, but there is a BIG need to work on customer service. This is our 2nd time to come "close" (an hr before) to their live singing. Very rude. Get people in/out you will have no problem!
Steven SeltzerSeptember 5, 2016
The only place to go for breakfast in Nashville. The buffet is gastronomic, but the menu is equally good. Great coffee and food!
Tiffany CartierJuly 27, 2011
$14.99 Mini Pasta - with sausage and chicken. Super yummy. Great happy hour from 3 to 6 M-F, 2 for 1 drafts and wine, $2 off apps. Live music nightly. Call ahead for reservations. Casual.
David MillerNovember 22, 2017
Helpful bartenders know their local craft beers. Brisket and house BBQ sauce was great. Bonus: fantastic live music!
Max WennekerSeptember 10, 2017
Slider combo fantastic. Loved the fried sampler platter too. Great spot with live music, but not too loud.

Nice southern style cuisine. I had their BBQ chicken platter. It was really good! They also had live music that I enjoyed.

BBQ sliders hit the spot! Fried pickles were awesome and we loved the environment!
Ivy MahsciaoFebruary 12, 2019
Piggy Mac is the jam topped with pancakes. A side of meat plate and it’s oooh delish dreamy nap time.
Chris RigsbyNovember 7, 2015
The Smoked Bologna Sandwich is Awesome. Get it with a Fried Egg and Bacon.
Maggie BlackwellFebruary 27, 2015
Chicken fried chicken is crispy and the gravy is a perfect combination. Fried pickles are good but too salty for me. BF loved them.
Ryan NixonOctober 2, 2016
Awesome breakfast. Pulled pork and sweet potato pancakes and the Texas brisket with cornbread waffle were amazing!
Sarah NixonOctober 2, 2016
Really great breakfast. Far from the normal boring bacon and eggs. Sweet potato waffles w pulled pork are a must try!
DiJuly 9, 2013
Chicken fried chicken is a larger sized portion and while extremely delicious quite salty as well, I'd recommend splitting it and getting dessert (;
Chris BruceAugust 10, 2014
If you order the cookie for dessert thinking you're getting something lighter than the other choices, you're oh so deliciously wrong

Come early for breakfast, especially on weekends. They open at 7. Buffet starts at 8am. By 9am you will have a wait!
The Swedish ChefJune 17, 2019
Fried Green Beans, Fried Green Tomato BLT, Dry Rub Wings, Hot Chicken Sandwich. Meatloaf is off the charts good.
William HoffmanAugust 8, 2014
The ribs are very dry and overall its not the best barbecue place but you can't beat the location. Best bite for your buck in downtown.
Sarah MingesFebruary 22, 2014
At first I was hesitant about the pork quesadilla, well it was the best goddamn decision I made of the day. Order it.
Debbie FarentholdOctober 17, 2013
The ribs were delish!!! The service was FABULOUS!! A quintessential Nashville eatery....YUMMY!! Love the live music too!
Jess KalbfleischMay 25, 2019
Highly recommend the redneck burrito with Mac n cheese! It was PHENOMENAL 👏🏻
JuandaleAugust 23, 2013
Smoked Cherry BBQ wings are great as appetizers. Be sure to order the avacado bacon turkey burger sliders #dabomb
Joanne BranandApril 21, 2013
The chicken fried chicken was amazing. Breading made it! The corn bread pancake was also wonderful.
Bryan AckermannAugust 23, 2014
The only good skillet is an empty skillet. This used to have pulled pork and mac and cheese in it :-)
Collette SJune 21, 2015
Amazing, lives up to it's reputation of serving delicious southern comfort food. And it actually used to be a grocery store!
Walker BarnumNovember 25, 2017
Peanut Butter and Banana stuffed French Toast is to die for. Not a bad thing on the menu
TApril 23, 2011
Sausage and cheese appetiZer is dank, alongside that $12 BBQ platter ($14 on Thursday's for All u can Eat!) was phenomenal. Their moonshine is on point too
ASK Gwen CashFebruary 8, 2015
The food was really good here. We enjoyed the catfish, pull pork, and fried green tomatoes.
Jerry MancusoApril 7, 2013
Despite what they tell you, the pork sliders have much less pork than the pork sandwich, but it's just as delicious.
Wayne BurrellJanuary 22, 2015
This place gets packed quickly so plan ahead and make reservations!
Jordan CheekJune 10, 2014
started with fried pickles. best fried pickles I have ever eaten. This hamburger was Incredible

John CodyJuly 14, 2017
