My favorite restuarants
We are partial to locally owned restaurants that serve fresh ingredients.
Phat Bites looks like a "hole in the wall" place, but the food is always awesome! They also have live music on the weekends. In warm weather you may sit outside. Prices are great and you receive very large portions. The owner is super-nice and if she is there she may give you a sample plate if you ask.

Amy's is a sweet little spot that is owned by a native Ethiopian family. If you go like Ethiopian food, it is a treat! The owners are lovely and also package their own bags of coffee beans. On Friday nights there is a buffet where you may try various dishes.

This cafe is a delicious spot to experience vegetarian and vegan food. There are also gluten-free options. There are several unique dishes...protein bowls with beans, smoky kale, and quinoa with garlic aoli is one of my absolute favorites! They also have delicious gluten-free desserts and homemade kombucha.
The dining area is small, so arrive early at usual meal times. There is a nice outdoor seating area when the weather is nice. They have an app if you would like to order to go!

Arrive early!! This location in the Gulch is extremely popular and there will be a wait at meal times for this hot, delicious food. The Burgers are hand-made and amazing! Don't skip the sweet potato tots. The vibe here is fun and loud. There are multiple TVs broadcasting the sporting event of the day. Walk around the Gulch after your meal to experience some of Nashville's downtown area.

We are partial to this location of Hattie B's because it has more seating than some of the other locations. BEWARE! This restaurant is a favorite of locals and tourists, so you need to arrive waaaay before meal times or order online to avoid lines that literally wrap around the building waiting for the next hot bird:-)

If you need a quick bite for lunch or dinner, this little spot is owned by native Middle-Easterners who will serve you cheerfully. The portions are large and delicious. This is a simple, no-nonsense establishment, just basic good food at a reasonable price. They did not spend money of decorations, but who is going for the decor anyway? This is one of our favorite Friday night quick meals because it's so close. You could walk there if you wanted to!
