Reasonable.  Nothing too fancy, but not fast food either.

I like The Old Spaghetti Factory on 2nd Ave. Also on 2nd Ave., The Melting Pot has been voted "most romantic restaurant" for about 50 years running.

Merchants on Lower Broad has a good rep. Ruth Chris' & Morton's are known for their steaks. Might also add Stockyard to local flavor restaurants.

There you go again with the Spaghetti Factory. It's a well decorated Fazolis.  While my wife likes The Melting Pot, I have issues with going to a restaurant, paying $100 for dinner and having to cook it myself.

I have to side with Mike on this one. It seemed like a nice place the last time I ate there.... in the 8th grade. It is on the busiest tourist avenue in Nashville, so it gets a ton of business from out-of-towners, but they are their demographic, too.

I was gonna say The Stockyard as well until he said "reasonable price". If I had unlimited funds, I would eat at The Stockyard every visit to Nashville.

There was a good rib joint on a corner on Broad. Can't remember the name, but it was a guy's name.

next door to the melting pot is rodizios brazilian steakhouse.   as brazilian steakhouses go, it's average, but compared to other types of restaurants it's awesome.  I think the meat is about as good as you'd get at ruth chris or morton, and it's all you can eat. salad bar is as good as you'll find in town.   the all you can eat grilled pineapple glazed with brown sugar is worth the $32 or so per head all by itself

The Southern - 3rd Ave S (Live oyster bar, amazing seafood)
Merchants - Broadway
Puckett's - Church St
Pub 5 - 4th Ave S
Hattie B's - Off West End Ave
Prince's Hot Chicken - Google the address
Party Fowl - 8th Ave S
Edley's BBQ - 12th Ave S

Drunk at 3am?  Paradise Park (Broadway) and/or Luigi's Pizza (3rd Ave S)... good chance you'll run into me there at that hour

Feeling fancy?  Etch - Demonbreun St

Want a tasty Nashville alcoholic beverage?  Order a Bushwacker from Broadway Brewhouse (Broadway), Rebar (Division St), or Edley's BBQ

Are you into cool places to grab a fantastic cocktail?  Go to Patterson House.  Mixology bar that is decorated like a 1920's speakeasy.  Even the employees are in proper attire.  Awesome place if you're willing to wait.

That's dry rub, right?  If so, I'm in.  I hate the wet Carolina style.

Yes, ribs around here are usually dry rub.

I think we'll check out Edley's...unless there's a better BBQ place you guys can think of.

I'm a big fan of mikado if you want jap hibachi. Also like judge beans bbq in brentwood. Hard to beat the melting pot though if you are bringing a date. I have tried rodizio but it was no where as good as the brazillian steakhouse in Knoxville so I do not recommend it.

Actually I ate there just last night.  The OSF wasn't too expensive.  (Had the olive tapenade on toast for breakfast this morning). Opted not to go to the Melting Pot cos ...  I like my fondue to be meat-based, not cheese or chocolate.  


Other places to check out - hot chicken.  haven't tried prince's yet but I've had Hatti B's & Pepperfire.  both are good.

Oh man I forget about Judge Beans.  Love the BBQ Nachos and cowboy beans.  Excellent suggestion.

As for hot checken, Prince':s is the best for hotness, Bolton's is best for flavor, and Pepperfire has the Royale (pepperjack geill cheese sandwich topped with pickles and ultra hot chicken fingers)...all of em are a stones throw from my house and all are awesome!

I went to The Spaghetti Factory for the first time the other day, since the first three restaurants I went to were closed.






It was OK.  I think it was a good value for downtown, where you can accidentally spend twice what you planned on.












Don't take this the wrong way, but I found it curious that the entire staff was black, except for the bartender.  I haven't seen a staff that homogenous in the whole city.  The Brazilian place has staff from all over the world.












I'd go there again in a pinch.  







Merchants is my go-to for dinner, though.







Don't go to Pucketts.  It's not that it isn't good, it's that I'm sick of waiting for a seat.

No one has mentioned the Mexican food.  I have been EVERYWHERE.  Nashville is full of Mexicans.  There is some of the best mexcian food I have ever had.  Casa Fiesta, La Hacienda - East Nashville not my fav mexican though.  The hole in the walls and taco trucks are awesome.

My wife likes Cantina Laredo but personally I think trying to make Mexican food fancy and expensive is just plain silly. I look for the hole in the wall Mexican places that the menu is in Spanish about the register and has Horchata and choices like tongue or brains.

I had lunch at Pharmacy Burger the last time I was there and it was awesome.

The beer selection was outstanding.

The line is down the street so I advise getting there when they open at 11:00am.

Their Curry Wurst is so good it defies logic and gave me a multiple food-gasm.

In the 2008-2010 timeframe I would eat at / take out Dalts 2-3x a week.

I lived off WB at the time

Awesome food.

Looks like Edley's is off the table since according to their website, they don't serve ribs until dinner.  We'll be rolling into town around 11:00 AM.  The only thing I really want is ribs.

I am really digging Cook Out on West End Blvd.

Link to Menu

It is a chain out of NC but the first in Nashville.  Not food that is going to be famous, but everything I had gotten there has been really good.  O yea, pretty cheap.
