Restaurants I enjoy in the city.
This place may not be in the prettiest or biggest plaza but it’s my favorite place for authentic Korean food just outside of Nashville. It’s locally owned and the food is always a hit! There are a ton of options and the portions are great.
Hai Woon Dai
Great place for a girls night or a date night! I went here for my birthday dinner and the food was amazing! Drinks were good and great customer service. We tried multiple dishes and they were all a hit. Another plus is it’s right by Broadway for any ...
The Rutledge
Amazing steakhouse with a great ambiance. Perfect for a date night. The service was great and the food portions were large! The “sides” were more of sharing plates. Definitely a place of splurging.
Halls Chophouse Nashville
This place changed my standards for sushi. I may be bias as this is my uncle’s restaurant but please try it for yourself! There are so many options for sushi and other Thai fusion dishes. The drinks are so good and the dishes are always eye catching....
Thai Samurai Cool Springs
My favorite hotpot place! So many options for meats, vegetables, and seafood. There are also options for the broths you can choose. Combination plates are cost savers here. I love the sauce bar as there are so many ways you can customize your own sau...
Sichuan Hot Pot & Asian Cuisine: Home
Hella bomb Memphis style wings! These are whole wings so the price reflects that but they are definitely worth it. Always fried to perfection and the sauce/flavor selections have options for everyone! The fries are also good and seasoned so well. Als...
Official Wings
Okay people may have other opinions but Hattie B’s is a favorite for Nashville hot chicken. The chicken has never been dry for me and always fried well. The sides are great and there are multiple locations you can stop at!
Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Nashville - Midtown
Although this is a chicken spot I love the fried catfish here. It’s seasoned so well and fried hard! The fries are also good and seasoned to perfection. If you’re a fan, get the gizzards! It’s a large portion and the way it’s fried tastes so good. Fr...
Helen's Hot Chicken Smyrna
My favorite place to stop while in Franklin. Franklin is a town maybe 20 minutes outside of Nashville. The dish I always order is the cast iron pork with Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese. The drinks are also great! Perfect place for a solo lunch o...
Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar
Favorite place to catch a bite and watch a game. There’s also a location downtown Nashville as well as Murfreesboro. They have a great happy hour and switch some drinks by the season. The wings would be my fave!
The Goat Murfreesboro
Another hotpot rec! They have a location in Murfreesboro and in downtown Nashville. There is all you can eat that has a ton of options for meats and veggies. I loved the conveyor belt they had going around for you to choose different noodles and vegg...
Shabu Shabu | Murfreesboro
Thanks to some friends I learned about this spot! It’s a local fave as they have great deals on drinks and the food is so good! I had the catfish nuggets tossed in their house sauce and it did not disappoint. Definitely will go back to try their wing...
Germantown Pub
I had a girls night with a friend and I still think about it to this day! It’s definitely a vibe and the food options are great. We shared a seafood tower that comes with a mini bottle of champagne. The short rib was amazingggg and the drinks, yummm!...
The Hampton Social - Nashville
Great food! This is definitely a pricey establishment but the portions are large! Sides are shareables. The lemon drop was perfection. Great ambiance and the staff was amazing with helping us pick different dishes.
Oak Steakhouse
My favorite place to get Lao/Thai food. This has been one of the few restaurants that remind me of my mom’s cooking. This is locally and family owned. Definitely a town favorite! There hasn’t been an item from the menu I’ve gotten that I didn’t like....
SaBaiDee Cafe
Another favorite for Lao cuisine in the Murfreesboro area! They have so many dishes from breakfast to lunch & dinner. They also have traditional coffee items. Small spot but another local favorite. The family that owns this place is always so nic...
COFFEE FUSION - Updated July 2025 - 223 Photos & 155 Reviews
Love this place for a chill dinner. The food was always great as well as the drinks! If you’re sitting outside, they had lights hung up and a fireplace outside for a vibe. There are so many options to choose from. You could even catch them for brunch...
