Sport bar with many television screens showing whatever game you are interested in watching. Food is good, but mostly a wide selection of hot dogs/burgers and fries. Pizza is okay, but mostly a good place for drink to watch your sports team.

Coffee shop, but really a full breakfast available throughout the day. Long lines on weekend mornings, though, many session musicians come there after a night of recording and want something hearty to eat.

Open for lunch and dinner. Small restaurant, but great food and a great concept. The owner/chef is working with former homeless men to teach them to cook. They have a prayer wall on one end in which you can add a prayer for them to pray for you. Very friendly place and great food.

Hot Chicken is the current craze in Nashville. This is the place for it! Expect a long line if you go there in person. We always call ahead and get for pickup to beat the lines. Once there, you can grab a table with your take out to have the full experience. You'll see a lot of tourists here, but food is good and reasonable.

Great Bar-B-Que selections. Poultry, beef, or pork fixed any way you like. Within walking distance and is a great way to burn off some of the calories after you have eaten here! They also have good southern side dishes and are so popular, that they have expanded to a second location downtown.

This is a Nashville secret for the best burgers. They are only open for lunch, but not far from NashVilla (by car). Looks like a hole-in-the-wall place from the outside, but the juiciest burgers you'll ever have and great milkshakes. Great price, too. (Please don't get the word out, it's a small place). :-)
