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 |

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.

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.

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 |

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 |

The sweet smelling aroma of steaming pancakes is enough to draw you to this popular hang out.

Take a little Cracker Barrel and mix it with some Grand Ole Opry and you've got Marcy Jo's. A mercantile, white clapboard from the 1800's has been refurbished as a restaurant serving the best Southern cuisine this side of the Mississippi. Their menu changes daily but it's more like mama's kitchen where you might get to pick your side dish but the entree is what it is. You can check the chalkboard up front for your choices and if it's the third Saturday of the month you can enjoy live musical entertainment. Marcy Jo's is a true Southern experience. Comfort food and country music combine to bring on that homey feeling that makes satisfied customers loyal patrons. - Kelly Sons Review © 2007, Wcities |

This quaint little eatery's charming and simplistic design will transport you to a quiet and picturesque village in Europe. Flower pots blossoming with color, a handwritten menu, and oversized sunflowers on the patio complement the simple, white tablecloths and nondescript walls. Strong country flavors arise from piping hot dishes; there's a menu for each day and season. Try the Salmon Carpaccio with Citrus Salad for starters, followed by Roast Pork Chops with Gorgonzola and Roasted Potatoes. A good wine list tops off the meal. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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.

Popular menu items include Filet Mignon ($22.95) and Prime Rib ($18.95), but you'll find New York strip, Porterhouse and T-bone steaks as well. Those with an aversion to red meat should try the fresh seafood and poultry dishes. A bottle of the house wine, a lovely chardonnay, runs $18, and the bar serves mixed drinks as well.

Traditions do not come easy in this town, but some things never change. Take the menu: it is a standard "meat and three", a term given to restaurants serving a meat entree and three vegetables. However, its delicious Southern-style cooking sets it apart from the other buffet offerings around town. Fresh baked cornbread and dinner rolls accompany every meal. If you are really adventurous, try a burger. It is tasty, but your arteries may never forgive you. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The first thing you'll notice about this restaurant is the menu. Certainly the food selections get your attention, but more noteworthy is the fact that the menu is in both English and Chinese. 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.

The TGI Friday's is one of the most popular joints around Nashville. Crowds flock here for familiar favorites like Shrimp Friday's or the Texas Skewers (beef, chicken and shrimp sauteed and served with veggies on long skewers). This is the same as any other Friday's you've seen, except that each night the manager instructs the kitchen to "work up" a special item. It may be fried catfish with sauteed onions or a tasty slice of spinach and pesto pizza. Whatever they come up with, diners delight in the change of pace. The bar stays open until 3am and provides libations of all types: import and domestic beers, mixed drinks and a fair wine selection. Review © 2007, Wcities |
