 A Nashville Summer Tradition for Over 50 Years |
5301, Charlotte Avenue Nashville, TN 37209 United States +1 615 292 2112 |
Bobbie's Dairy Dip offers authentic drive-in fare including delicious home-style burgers, hotdogs, fries, onion rings, and amazing soft-serve ice cream. The burgers are all 100 percent Black Angus beef and the Holy Guacamole Burger is especially tasty. The ice cream is rich and creamy and available in vanilla or chocolate, dipped or undipped. With 10 percent dairy fat, it's a dieter's nightmare, but well worth it in flavor. Seating at Bobbie's is patio-style under a tin roof with a well-positioned ceiling fan. It's perfect for a drive-in, but limited, so most guests just order, wait and go. -Lynn-nore Chittom Review © 2007, Wcities |

Big burgers, bigger taste! |
3001 Gallatin Pike Nashville, TN 37216 United States +1 615 228 6584 http://www.checkers.com/ |
This drive-thru restaurant serves the biggest, tastiest burgers this side of Birmingham. Thick, juicy ground beef is served on seeded buns with your choice of toppings. Hotdogs and chicken sandwiches offer a little variety, but the hands-down winner is the Checker Burger, an enormous beef patty on a huge bun. Wash down your burger with a thick, rich milkshake. On a warm day, you can almost hear these cool treats call your name. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gourmet Burgers and More |
400 21st Ave S Nashville, TN 37203 United States +1 615 327 0220 http://www.cheeseburgercharlie... |
Cheeseburgers seem like pretty simple fare, but this lively diner offers an interesting twist on the American classic. How about an all-beef patty grilled with mixed vegetables, or a black bean burger? What about a beefalo burger or a nice turkey burger? These are healthy alternatives, containing less than seven grams of fat per serving. Burger purists can still opt for the greasier variety of burger, and no one should pass up the fries. You can't be healthy all the time, can you? Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic name, historic food |
2624 Music Valley Drive Nashville, TN 37214-1208 United States +1 615 889 1930 |
At the turn of the century, Nashville's waterways were filled with catfish, traders and every type of bandit. Each ship passing along the Cumberland River would appoint one of the crew members as the 'Cock of the Walk' or lookout against thieves and aggressors. Today, the Cumberland is a tranquil place, which still provides catfish for this restaurant bearing the name of those brave crewmen. Your server, in period uniform, will bring you a plateful of catfish, either broiled, grilled, fried or almond-crusted, the likes of which you've never tasted. Enjoy a drink from the bar and sample one of the delicious appetizers while you wait for your meal. Don't be surprised to see some of country music's best and brightest dining at the next table.

Authentic Cajun/Creole cuisine |
1649 Westgate Circle Nashville, TN 37027 United States +1 615 661 8040 |
The charm and elegance of New Orleans restaurant is deliciously alive 20 minutes south of downtown Nashville. You won't see any trolley cars, but you will hear jazz music (performed live in the evenings and during Sunday brunch) and taste the same fabulous food. Blackened Chicken and Bourbon Street Steak are serious choices for serious eaters. Salads, desserts and a full drink menu provide diners with a little lagniappe (something extra). It's Cajun-style food in an environment perfect for a business dinner or a family night out. Review © 2007, Wcities |

From the moment you walk through the doors, you'll bebop to the oldies music blaring throughout the dining area, and you'll enjoy the lively banter between the wait staff and the kitchen. It's almost a '50s-style diner setting, without the pink neon and soda counter. The food here is almost as good as the atmosphere. The magnificent Overstuffed Baked Potato is a large Idaho potato baked to perfection and topped with butter, barbecue and cheese. Barbecue beef, chicken and turkey sandwiches and platters satisfy your hot and spicy cravings. Kids have their own menu featuring "pint-sized" barbecue sandwiches, chicken wings and hotdogs.

Melrose Area Family Dining |
2330 Franklin Rd Nashville, TN 37204 United States +1 615 269 9716 |
Family dining isn't always easy to find in the Melrose area of Nashville, but this comfortable eatery provides a pleasant atmosphere and good food at a very reasonable price. Breakfast is the best time to experience this place, and it is indeed an experience. Waitresses rush from table to table serving dishes of eggs and sausage, pancakes and bacon, grits and biscuits. Lunch is typical meat-and-three fare, with chicken or beef entrees served with two side items. Mashed potatoes, creamed corn, white beans, turnip greens and spinach are some of the delicious sides.

REALLY Fresh Food |
99 East Main St Nashville, TN 37064 United States +1 615 794 2805 |
The little town of Franklin is famous for its rich history and its antique galleries, but this family-style restaurant may boost Franklin's popularity a bit more. Locating a restaurant next to a farmer's market makes fresh food easy to come by. Enjoy the absolute best vegetables and fruit, as well as fresh baked bread and dessert. Fried chicken is the best item on the menu, but the Country-Style Steak and Gravy is worth a try too. The pick of the litter, however, is the Fresh Veggie Plate. Choose five vegetables from over a dozen options and enjoy a healthy and delicious lunch or dinner. Early risers will love the breakfast menu filled with traditional Southern favorites like buttermilk biscuits and grits. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Delicious Steaks and More |
1101 Murfreesboro Road Nashville, TN 37064-3006 United States +1 615 591 7666 |
In case the name didn't give it away, the specialty here is meat. Chicken, ribs and beef are served up in classic American style. Enormous portions and reasonable prices make this restaurant a favorite with families and large groups. The menu deviates from the basic meat dishes every so often with pasta and seafood platters. They are equally tasty and reasonably priced. Extra hungry patrons choosing should try the authentic Maryland Crab Cakes for an appetizer. Dessert lovers must indulge in the Oreo Cookie ice cream pie. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This ultracasual eatery is all about seafood and fun. The restaurant serves a wide variety of crab, from Alaskan snow crab to Gulf Coast. Sit down at your table and spread out the newspaper, because a meal here is a messy event. Then use the sturdy mallet to crack open your prize. Platters of fresh shrimp, noth fried and boiled, offer another option from the deep blue ocean. Landlubbers can order a sandwich or burger, and kids will love the special menu just for them.

Your meal begins with a bucket of peanuts and perhaps a drink from the bar. Toss the shells on the floor and sip your favorite import or domestic brew while you wait for your table. Select a seat outdoors on the patio during warmer months. What's good to eat here? Burgers are the staple. Thick, juicy and full of flavor, these American classics are the best in town. Other menu mainstays include chicken club sandwiches, pasta dishes and enormous salads. Bring your friends and a hearty appetite and enjoy an evening among the peanuts. Review © 2007, Wcities |

While you wait for a table, have a drink at the bar and toss peanut shells on the floor. The wait is often long, but the steaks are worth it. The chef starts with a lean cut of choice beef, rubs it with Longhorn's signature spices and grills it to perfection. The succulent filet mignon, the hearty rib eye and the ever popular t-bone are all part of the culinary repertoire. The signature entree, a huge 22-ounce porterhouse steak, is beloved by serious beef lovers. Non-beef eaters can enjoy chicken and seafood dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

When owner Bobby Nelson opened this Southern-style diner, he had no idea how popular a spot it would become. Finding a table is next to impossible during lunch hours, but for those fortunate enough to score one, culinary nirvana awaits. The restaurant offers five meat entrees and seven vegetables daily, all prepared fresh. You choose one meat and three vegetables for less than $5. The restaurant features pit-smoked barbecue every evening. On Fridays, try the famous all-you-can-eat catfish dinner.

Southern Plantation turned Restaurant |

This old plantation house has been the home of the city's finest seafood buffet for over 20 years. Step past the tall white columns, through the double doors and into a piece of Southern history. The tall ceilings and wide windows provide a perfect view of the airplanes taking off from the nearby Nashville airport. It's a strange view from such an elegant establishment, but one glance at the buffet and you will forsake any other sights. Crab legs to lobster, shrimp to prime rib are at the ready. The price is a bit steep, but you can't find this much seafood at this price anywhere else. Dress is business casual, so you can be comfortable in jeans and a polo or a blazer and tie.

To some, the idea of a restaurant that has no menu is a bit unnerving, but to folks in the Southern United States, it's just another day at a meat-and-three. The cook serves up a host of side dishes to accompany the meat entree of the day. A delicious serving of beef or chicken with your choice of three sides will cost you about $7, a great value, especially for families.

Nevertheless, this Chinese-owned cafeteria offers some of the best Southern-style cooking in the area. The fried chicken is batter-fried golden brown, and the meatloaf is filled with onions and served with a tangy tomato sauce. Nashville's favorite vegetable, macaroni and cheese, comes with mashed potatoes and pinto beans. Served each morning, breakfast includes bacon, eggs, pancakes and biscuits.
