 Good bagels, great service |
5311 Harding Road Nashville, TN 37205 United States +1 615 352 1128 http://www.brueggers.com/ |
These may not be Nashville's best bagels, but this friendly bakery does provide Nashville's fastest and finest service. The good bagels come in a wide variety of flavors, as do the delicious spreads and toppings, but the best feature of this establishment is its speed. The clever ordering system takes some getting used to (place order here, pick up bagel, go find toppings, pay over there) but this assembly-line method gets you in and out in a hurry and on your way to work. Brewed fresh each morning, the coffee is as good as any gourmet blend in town. Lunch includes light sandwiches, soups and, of course, more bagels. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Popular downtown lunch counter |
112 2nd Ave North Nashville, TN 37201 United States +1 615 726 3171 |
Hot Dogs are the house specialty and come dressed in chili, cheese, mustard, pickles and onions. This is the kind of dog you might find in Chicago, except here you can get dollar-draft beers to wash it down. There's also the "Kitchen's" Philly cheese steak with melted pepper jack cheese or one of their tasty burritos. White bean chicken chili is a favorite, too. Diners fortunate enough to find a table during lunch can enjoy anything on the menu for only five dollars, and that comes with chips and a soda. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classic American Diner |
38 White Bridge Rd Nashville, TN 37205 United States +1 615 352 8121 |
Sometimes forgotten amidst the mass of other eateries near Lion's Head Cinema, this classic American diner made a name for itself with simple, elegant food and outstanding service. Malts, shakes and burgers are standard fare here, but they are far from ordinary; they are made with real milk and are thick and creamy; burgers are enormous and come dressed with everything from mushrooms and Swiss cheese to slices of smoked turkey. The best selection on the menu is the chicken salad quesadilla, but the eclectic menu has something for everyone. A visit here is not complete without the chocolate malt pie. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Old fashioned soda shop |
2111 Elliston Place Nashville, TN 37203-5203 United States +1 615 327 1090 |
Don't let the 'retro' décor at this diner fool you. The owner didn't redecorate to fit the current trend; he hasn't changed a thing since the shop opened in the 1950s. The great food and service that made this famous also remain the same. Burgers and shakes are the standard here, but you can also get a good 'meat-and-three' meal as well. While this Nashville landmark was made famous by the movie, "Sweet Dreams: The Patsy Cline Story" starring Jessica Lange, its popularity with downtown workers and Vanderbilt University students is attributed mainly to its casual atmosphere and delicious food.

Fresh Baked Bread and Goodies Galore |
3900 Hillsboro Pike Nashville, TN 37215 United States +1 615 298 1032 http://www.greatharvest.com/ |
As the name suggests, this establishment is all about bread. You'll find standards like Honey Wheat and Sunflower Wheat, but the specialty breads bring the masses back again and again to taste baking perfection. Thrilling creations like Basil Parmesan, Cranberry Orange and Onion Dill change the bread routine. Choose any of these breads as the basis of a hearty sandwich made with fresh meats, veggies and cheeses. Muffins, cookies, and rich soups are also made fresh. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gourmet wrap sandwiches |
330 Franklin Road Nashville, TN 37027 United States +1 615 376 8151 |
You can buy wrap sandwiches (giant tortillas wrapped around all kinds of sandwich stuff) almost anywhere. Few places, however, have as diverse and interesting a variety of these popular creations as this shop. Here you'll find the Music City Wrap (barbeque pork, onions, pickles and coleslaw) and the Mardi Gras (shrimp, zucchini and black beans). No matter which you choose, you'll also get a choice of spinach, whole wheat or tomato tortillas. All come stuffed with the freshest meats and vegetables. This place also serves delicious fruit smoothies, do don't leave without tasting the Strawberry Banana. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic Franklin Bakery |
110 4th Ave S Nashville, TN 37064 United States +1 615 790 3755 http://www.merridees.com/ |
This hometown bakery makes the great rolls and breads found in local grocery stores, but visitors to the downtown Franklin area can enjoy some of the bakery's other treats. Biscuits, doughnuts and muffins make good breakfast choices. Sit down for a leisurely lunch with chicken salad sandwiches served on the shop's famous fresh baked bread. Planning a picnic? Ask for sandwiches, desserts and lemonade to go before you head out into the Tennessee countryside. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Distinctive lunch dishes |
4910 Thoroughbred Lane Merchant Walk Nashville, TN 37027 United States +1 615 370 6477 http://www.nickofthyme.net |
This gourmet deli serves hearty soups and sandwiches that are sure to delight. The light Cream of Vidalia Onion Soup makes lunchtime memorable, seasoned with a bit of oregano. The sandwiches feature fresh meats like turkey, ham and beef, topped with fresh vegetables such as avocados and sun-dried tomatoes. It's not ordinary lunch fare, granted, but the gourmet touch makes a welcome departure from fast food. The cafe has a very friendly, almost festive atmosphere, perfect for casual business lunches.

Cafeteria style Italian Diner |
508 5th Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203 United States +1 615 254 7210 |
Downtown diners file in for the best calzones and sub sandwiches in town. Hearty Italian dishes like lasagna and baked ziti are served hot and fresh everyday at this eatery located a few blocks from the business district. If you are fortunate enough to claim one of the 12 tables, you can relax in the pleasant atmosphere and enjoy a delicious order of eggplant parmigiana or tortellini. Most people phone ahead for a takeaway order, since it is so busy, but the food is just as delicious in your office or hotel room as in the restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Late Night New York style Deli |
1918 Broadway Nashville, TN 37203 United States +1 615 329 6674 http://noshville.com/ |
You'll find an East Coast style delicatessen, authentic right down to the deli counter lined with Knishes, Pickled Herring, and Nova Lox (not to mention the bowl of pickles that comes gratis at every table). Smoked Fish platters, a bit expensive for breakfast at $10, are wonderful with bagels and cream cheese. The sandwiches are unique and pleasantly large. Each cost around $9. Pancake lovers will devour all the potato pancakes the chef can serve up, and eggs are served any style until 4pm. Review © 2007, Wcities |
