    Everything was delicious but especially the cornbread! Yummy! The hot ham and cheese could easily be split between two people!

    Great service! Nachos were enough to feed 4plus people. Our waiter was so nice he told us that it would be too much to get meals and the nachos (he was right). He saved us a lot of money! Great live band too!

    This was our first time actually eating at Ole Red. We have visited many times for drinks both on the first floor and the fifth floor. The food was very good, portions good, priced good for the area. Our service was awesome, servers name was Molly and she was cute, super friendly, knew the menu. It was a great experience and look forward to going back.

    We had booked our resevation in Canada before leaving for our Vacation in Nasville...and were looking forward to seeing the new Old Red It looked fabulous on line, the menu and all. To our dissmay it wasn,t what we had expected or maybe the facility was just having a bad day. The service was minimal to say the least, our waitress acted like she just did not want to be there...as well the food (chicken) was so over cooked the coating fell off like corn flaked honestly you could not even taste the chicken....the only good part of the eve was the music needless to say we did not stay very long..

    My chicken in the bucket was burned. Actual scorch marks on the meat. I am afraid to send anything back so I didn't tell the server. But you asked. Our drinks were good and husband liked his burger.

    Made reservations 3 weeks in advance in order to enjoy the famed view from the Lookout only to arrive and be told the entire Lookout was reserved for a private event. Music was sub par compared to other places on Broadway. Service was terrible. Server didnt refill our drinks or water throughout out entire meal. Server was rude, disengaged and made it clear she was not happy about being at work. Had saved this special dinner for our last night in Nashville and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in the entire experience. Came all the way from California and really felt let down by the way we were treated by staff, servers, and hostesses at this establishment. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

    The entertainment was OK. I would have loved to be able to understand what the singer was singing. The music instruments were to loud for the entertaining singer to compete with. The food was OK. Would like to see a good salad for folks with diabetes. Wasn't enough to chose from. It was an experience. Could be a great place.

    The lady singing was painful to listen to. Too shrill, too much yelling. She’d make J Joplin sound meek. (I’m a 40 year musician so I know what I’m talking about.) Server was excellent. Food good.

    Atmosphere was just ok, service just ok, food did not live up to the quality I expected. We had appetizers, main course and desert. All at or below average... Not terrible, but not the level I was anticipating at a Blake Shelton Resturant in Nashville. Was my wife’s bday and we had reservations for several weeks, so our expectations were fairly high, but I don’t think unreasonable. We had a variety of foods. Burgers, bbq, tots, fries, etc.

    We were so looking forward to eating here. The food was not good. My husbands hamburger was cold and so was my gravy. My biscuits were hard. The chicken was ok, but not the southern recipe I was expecting. The best thing was the appetizer. The hot pimento cheese and artichoke dip was very good. The music was good.

    Okay place if you just want to have a drink and listen to music but the food is horrible. Don’t recommend going hungry. Spent almost $200 on a meal to go back and order pizza in the room. Greatly disappointed.

    Fun atmosphere for lunch with great live music/local talent! The food was good but not too extensive of a menu and thought the drinks (sangria) were over priced for what you got. Service of main course was a bit slow. Otherwise glad we tried it.

    Second time going here and both the food & service were awesome, again!! Last time we brought our friend, this time, our 14 yr old granddaughter. Both times the food, service, & entertainment were great! We’ve had at least 6 different dishes, & appetizers between the two times going there. All of the food has been delicious, especially the homemade tots! I know it gets crowded at times, but we made the reservation, through open table, for a late lunch. We could have gotten in without the reservation , because it didn’t get full until about 4:30. Still, I’d rather make the reservation, just in case!! If you haven’t been, try it!!

    Nashville burger was delicious! My friend had the fried chicken sandwich and it had more breading than chicken and was very hard. Waitress gave her a pulled pork sandwich in place of it! Service was great. Music was great!!! Atmosphere was awesome!

    Loved everything about it! Food was so delicious and drinks were great! Entertainment was great too! My only disappointment was that while in Nashville this past weekend I saw on my instagram that Blake was actually there on Saturday night for the first anniversary of Ole Red Nashville....I was so sad I missed the opportunity to see him; I would have definitely been back if I had any idea he would be there.
