Christina: You literally can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches here. My personal favorite is the turkey avocado!

Douglas Luckett: Make a reservation at the Kitchen Counter, order from the a la carte menu, and ask for drink pairing recommendations for each course. Excellent, interactive experience from start to finish.
Jason Su: Best tasting menu experience at a great price.

American Restaurant · 42 tips and reviews
James: Hundreds of candles help create the romantic vibe & ambiance found in this former warehouse space. I highly recommend the duck, which is absolutely delectable.
Carrie Bevis: The duck wings are out of this world, almost candy-like. The bison sirloin and tuna were both fantastic and expertly complimented with seasoning or sides. Save room for dressert.
Brant McQuitty: The starters, decor, outdoor seating and servers are fantastic. The bacon wrapped quail stuffed with dates was lovely.

American Restaurant · Lockeland Springs · 44 tips and reviews
CITY GRIT: We recommend the Bucatini Fra Diavolo, the Squid Ink Canestri, and the Cauliflower Farro Plate, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!
Washington Post: This isn’t just a good restaurant, it’s a good neighbor. Instead of a happy hour, the restaurant hosts a “community hour”; a percentage of the proceeds from snacks and drinks goes to a local school. Read more.
Leah Mackey Schultz: Skillet cookie + gelato + French press coffee = heaven

Rob: Tasty fresh pizzas and an abundance of creative dishes and small plates from the same pros that brought RAD to Nashville. Inventive cocktails and an always impressive curated list of wines and brews
Jamie Mack: Milanese chicken and natural wine are 🔥🔥♥️
Lee Hoffman: Incredible meal - the apple salad, broccoli, honey chicken Milanese - all incredible
Brent Gatewood: A little out of the way. And worth it! The brisket is fantastic, pulled pork is great. Get the pork and beans for a side. We'll be back!
Benjamin Sanders: Fantastic BBQ. I got the ribs with mac and cheese, and it was amazing! Try the cornbread with the jalapeños in it, it's so good. Best cornbread I've ever had. Beautiful place!
Amanda Richey: If you’re not feeling BBQ, go for the shrimp tacos. Banana pudding is also delicious!

Emily Scheer: The mushroom alfredo might be the best pasta dish I've ever eaten. Not to be missed!
Eater: It's a packed house night after night, and with Bon Appetit and Esquire recently naming it one of the best new restaurants in the country, don't expect it to slow down. [Eater 18 Member]
Lily: The bartenders here are outstanding.
Dustin Soper: Incredible family style restaurant - my favorite is Breakfast! Lines can be a bit long on weekend AM's - so be prepared!
Jason Tan: Check in, put your phone away, and eat until you are about to explode. And then have dessert.
Vivek Surti: Awesome place! Sit on huge communal tables, and enjoy some of the best southern food in Nashville. All you can eat. Southern Hospitality at its best!
