Urban Grub is a casual fine dining bar and eatery located in a renovated carwash in Nashville’s iconic 12 South district.

The design of the restaurant features a rustic elegance, filled with custom woodwork, stone fireplaces and rounded booths tucked in intimate corners. Urban Grub offers both indoor and outdoor seating with a combination of the two in the beer garden, accompanied a view of the restaurant’s meat curing room, as well as a covered gazebo for larger parties.

From the inviting indoor-outdoor atmosphere to the elevated Southern cuisine of fresh seafood, house-made charcuterie, and prime dry-aged steaks, the experience is unforgettable.

    We had an amazing meal - everything was wonderful. The shrimp and grits never disappoints and the crab cakes were phenomenal. Service was great, we loved it.

    We sat out on the Garden Patio. Highly recommend sitting here if you’re on a date. There’s only 2 tables out there, so it’s private and has beautiful scenery. Our server was Matt, he was very good, prompt and attentive. We went with the Brussel Sprouts appetizer and would definitely order again, the blend of flavors and ingredients were perfect. Our entrees were the salmon and the double cut pork chop. Both were delicious!! We also got the street corn as a side. The pork chops were a very generous serving of 2 1 inch thick, bone in chops that were grilled to perfection. The street corn was the perfect blend of seasoning and cheese. Our dessert was a generous portion and equally delicious as our main courses. Overall very pleased with the atmosphere, food and service.

    Urban Grub is usually a no fail place for us. 2 of the last 3 times we have gone, however, were not what we have been accustomed to. We've had issues with table requests, a disrespectful manager, and food quality on one occasion which was a birthday celebration. The second one--our latest--was strictly the food. A dozen oysters were returned because they appeared less than fresh. Subsequent orders were fine. The usually excellent mac and cheese was cold in the center. The replacement had the same issue. I want to stress, however, that our server was excellent. We have noticed a difference in food quality since the original manager left. We have not seen the young man who was less than polite since that incident. Our latest problems were with the food only. Perhaps the timing of our meal, right after brunch and the very beginning of dinner, played a part in the issues. We definitely have not given up on Urban Grub. It has been our go to for oysters on the half shell and a good meal. We are looking forward to the usual great experience on our next visit.

    We got oysters and the crab beignet for starters along with some adult cocktails and the finished with the pork chops with grits, twice baked potato and Mac and cheese. From start to finish it was absolutely superb. Was a little expensive but well worth it.

    We had a wonderful experience! The food was excellent. Ribeye cooked perfectly. Delicious homemade pasta. Oysters, fish dip … everything was so good. The server made great recommendations for options and wine pairings. We went for our anniversary and they gave us a complimentary dessert - along with the cheesecake that we ordered which was divine! I highly recommend this spot for a special occasion or gathering with friends or even just a happy hour moment at the bar. Ambience is colorful and energetic!
