10 Restaurants That Make Nashville Dining Great
In a city known for excellent hot chicken and Southern meat-and-three joints, some might assume that Music City offers a strictly one-note culinary experience—but they would be wrong. Although Nashville has a deep and well-versed cultural connection with Southern food, the recent influx of new restaurants has stretched the minds and palates of the city.
There are the old timers, like Bolton’s Spicy Fish and Chicken and Loveless Cafe that have braved recessions and a pandemic and helped build Nashville’s place in the food world. But there are also newcomers bringing fresh ideas to the table, such as Anzie Blue’s mission to introduce high-quality CBD along with your cup of coffee, or chef Maneet Chauhan’s fusion of Indian and soul food in the heart of the Gulch.
Together, these ten restaurants make up The Greats: a list of restaurants, old and new, that offer a snapshot of the best of Nashville dining right now. Whether you’re a native Nashvillian, a transplant, or a tourist, make sure to visit the places that help make Nashville great.
