Kid rock's big ass honky tonk rock n' roll steakhouse
4.4
(4462)
Grilled meats, burgers & cocktails in a buzzing, cavernous hub with live music & a rooftop bar.
Reviews:
Made a few visits now and had a genuinely great, unapologetically fun time, every single time Staff are all super friendly and manage that huge bar with skill. Beer selection is decent for a bottle only bar, cocktails are all super sweet party drinks but perfect for the vibe, and the bands are great Place is enormous, and super busy pretty much all the time, but it never feels too crowded or anything less than a good, fun place to be

Wonderful time at Kid Rock's place! Packed every night! Great variety of music played throughout the day/night! Drinks were awesome and the staff was so friendly. Loved the open windows for different views of Broadway. Our crew had a fantastic time. I, personally, can not speak for the food but some of those in our party ordered food and was very happy with their food choices. We enjoyed this bar so much that we went several times throughout our stay!

Pretty awesome. Felt very Kid Rock inspired. The layout was awesome. We went for lunch we was ideal with kids and sat upstairs to view the band from the balcony. Would definitely recommend it. Pro Tip… it’s LOUD! If that’s not your thing, this might not be the place for you.
Ferretti Farmer
One of the more busy and liveliest bars on Broadway with two levels to watch the live music from. Beers were cold, food was good and music got better and better as the bands progressed. As in all the bars with live music, come prepared with appropriate notes to tip the bands and bar staff.
Steven Pike
Haven't tried the food yet but what a fabulous place to listen to some great live music and meet really cool people and the bar tenders in their spandex leggings....omg absolutely great. Next time I'm in town I will get food from here and I'm sure it'll be just as great as the atmosphere here. Once that happens I'll update this review but as for getting your groove on and jamming out to the great bands that come here and meeting really cool people, I highly recommend this place.

Reviews:
I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming restaurant with a group of friends. I must say, the experience was truly delightful. The food was amazing, leaving us thoroughly impressed. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome throughout the evening. The restaurant's interior exuded the ambiance of an old town jazz bar, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. The addition of great music further enhanced the overall dining experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a fantastic combination of delicious cuisine, excellent service, and a nostalgic, jazz-inspired setting.

If you want a nice, elegant dinner, when you’re in Nashville, Skull rainbow room is a nice place to go eat. The food is cooked very well and would recommend to anybody. I loved the lobster bisque my wife really enjoyed the tuna tartare and also the lamb chops. I think you need to try it. It’s real good.

A must stop on your trip to Nashville!! Located down this cool little alley called Printers Alley, Skulls Rainbow room is very hard to get reservations. Lucky us, walked in and within 10 minutes, had 2 seats at the bar. We ordered drinks, Lemon Drop was so good, and started with the prime rib empanadas and escargot...both were amazing!! For dinner we had the New York Strip and the Crawfish Gnocchi with the added shrimp skewer. Both were phenomenal. Service and atmosphere was very speakeasy like. Highly recommend!! A++++
Michelle
Great food and music. Located on Printers Alley. Great prime rib and fish. Cesar salad was delicious. Had anchovies on top so if you do not like them I would ask to to exclude them. Good drinks as well. Staff was great. Had the Cesar, prime rib, fish special and peanut butter pie dessert, Brussel sprouts, and two drinks. Price was about $175 without tip. Well worth it.

Bar food, craft beers & signature cocktails on a wooden deck with live music, surrounded by yachts.
Reviews:
Attentive, efficient service from both the Bartender and a Server that filled in for her. Modest selection of beer, but all of the bases are covered. The menu is a simple dock side / dive bar fare. However, it is prepared quickly and served effortlessly.
K Wells
Reasonably priced. Food is ok. My boys loved feeding the fish.
KinkiMojo
Very cool outdoor dining space! Food is what you would expect of a burger joint. The service was just amazing. They were packed, but got us in and fed and kept the kids' refills coming. Our whole family had a good time and enjoyed their meal.
Emily Turley
Stumbled uppon this place. Sat outside by the water and watched huge catfish and carp eat table scraps that we threw them. Had the fish and chips, subing onion rings for fries. Very good and price was resonable.
Ed LaFranchsie
The food was just fine. The service & atmosphere were stellar. They were so sweet to my dog. The lake is gorgeous, and there are TVs for catching up on games if that's your thing. Always some friendly people around and good amount of activity without being overly crowded.

Aquarium restaurant

Large seafood & steak restaurant decorated by a huge fish tank filled with tropical sea creatures.
Reviews:
The atmosphere is great. I've been to the Underwater Grill at Sea World so thought we stop in this restaurant in Nashville. The food here was not great. I ordered fish that I could have bought at a grocery store frozen and cooked at home and it would have been better than what I got here. My husband ordered a combo plate, The scallops he said were really good along with his shrimp, but the rest was not. For the price of our meal, appetizer and a soda and sweet tea- $97, the food quality was not worth the price. We've had way better meals for less than that and have no problem paying a decent price as long as the meal is good. We were very disappointed here. We also had to ask for our drinks to be refilled. Nothing is more frustrating than eating dinner with an empty glass. We visited on a Wednesday and it wasn't that busy. Sadly, we won't go back next time we are in the area.
Tracey
Beautiful place! My son loves it. The seafood wasn't bad at all. I ordered cajun pasta and it was good for the price, as was the steak. It's a good place to take your children.
Etel Martinez
My first visit to this restaurant, the ambiance is amazing with all of the fish surrounding you while you enjoy a huge salad!! I had a Ceaser chicken salad and the serving was well beyond what I could eat. You got your money worth! Our server was great, food was great! Recommend a visit if you are in the mall!!
Dorothy Birtch
Always an excellent meal! This is a once a year treat for us since it's pricy for our budget. I enjoyed the delicious herb salmon, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. The husband had a Cajun seafood pasta, which he also reported to be very good. We finished with the seasonal dessert, a berry and chocolate cheesecake with a "cookie" of what seemed to be almond brittle. It was fantastic! Possibly my favorite Aquarium dessert yet!! Our general experience: We were pleasantly surprised to find no wait when we arrived, despite their reservation system showing nothing available for 3 hours before or after. We enjoyed a table at the front, closest to the tanks--much better view, if a bit less romantic than the circle tables that are a bit hidden away in back. Our waiter was attentive, and quickly and apologetically resolved a couple of issues with our food. It was a lovely evening all around!
Bonnie McCarty
Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Went without a reservation at around 3:30 on Monday and at 4:30 our table was ready for our family of 5. Not a problem as we expected there to be a wait as we didn't have a reservation. They texted us when it was ready so we were able to continue enjoying the mall. Great options for those who can't eat seafood (I still had a great meal and time despite my allergies). Kids loved it and the waitress was amazing!! Loved that we were encouraged to walk around to see the entire aquarium.

Southern cafe with down-home dishes & a country vibe, plus eclectic on-site shops.
Reviews:
What a fantastic place with an amazing staff and amazing food! Our experience here was top notch. We only had to wait around 5 minutes for table and our waitress was phenomenal. She was. Rey helpful in our question and even provided some suggestions to help us break the tie on what we would order. The food was perfect. I love breakfast and it was great! The country ham is the best I’ve had. The French toast was delicious. The chicken and waffles were amazing as well. Our kids even cleaned their plates which is amazing! I highly recommend dining here!
CJ
This was a awesome find off of the Interstate. Think of old town country cafe. Homemade biscuits with peach and strawberry jam as a table appetizer, served when you are seated. OH MY GOODNESS!!! Roll over grandma. Chicken fried chicken breast with chicken gravy, what a special Tuesday treat. Pie to finish, peanut butter, awesomeness on a plate!! I would definitely recommend that you make the trip off of Interstate 40 for this.
Wray Westbrook
Fantastic place for breakfast. I got the fried chicken and waffles (pictured). The chicken was extremely good and the fry was light but very good. The waffle was fantastically fluffy while not being too wet. They also had a special of their 24 hour slow cooked brisket that we got and it was amazing. The biscuits and home made jams they serve are honestly one of the best parts. We got there an hour after opening (8am) with little issue and by the time we left there was a significant line out the door.
Jack
Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. The biscuits alone are worth the drive. And these are extremely tasty biscuits. A fellow colleague selected The Loveless Cafe for breakfast and we happily followed. The atmosphere is buzzing. There's no way you can step into this building and be cranky. No way possible. We had a nice size group, but it didn't take long to seat us. I had a delightful breakfast with sausage, scrambled eggs, country ham and grits. Mind you every restaurant doesn't do grits right. We also shared a few desserts because why not have dessert with your breakfast? Overall, a beautiful experience. I highly recommend you make a stop whenever you're in the Nashville area.

I had a side plate of grits, warm and soft, green beans with bacon, macaroni and cheese, light and fluffy, and cucumbers and onions in vinegar with a touch of sugar. Dessert was yummy coconut cream pie. Before the meal was a plate of homemade biscuits , strawberry jam, and peach jam. Excellent

Refined tavern classics & craft cocktails inspired by Ernest Hemingway in rustic-chic surrounds.
Reviews:
Fabulous brunch! Enjoyed my hot marg cocktail. Tasted the French dip and KFC chicken sandwich and I ordered the Poutine. All were delicious but I liked my husband's KFC just a tad bit more than mine which again, was amazing. Definitely want to come back for dinner and the the nighttime cocktails. Parking can be a pain but we didn't have an issue. Loved the hostess and server!
Justine Vild
Love Love Loved this place!! Great atmosphere, food, and drinks!! And yeah I did it... I added a pic of the bathroom because I was blown away! If you can get street parking it's a plus, but definitely either way stop into this place! You will NOT be disappointed! Our waitress Cheryl was great and we enjoyed hanging out here enjoying the entire experience! I got the bottomless mimosa and the earnest breakfast! Partner got the jack n coke and the Nashville hot Mac n cheese!
Britney Bradley
I came here with a group of friends, and I was the only vegan at the table. After reviewing their breakfast menu, I didn’t see any vegan options. I talked with the server and she talked to the chef, and they made me a delicious roasted, veggie and potato dish with an amazing sauce. Fantastic service and we had a great time!

Top quality food. Top notch atmosphere. Fantastic server. Parker knew how to make a Canadian feel welcome.
Ty Hunter
This place is great! Pricey $$$$, even for a party of five. Craft Food and Drinks, but really good ones. Not a place I could afford to frequent. However, it's a fantastic experience and a really cool vibe. Definitely try the Espresso Martini!!

Had a delicious meal on our last night in Nashville! My mom and I sat at the bar table and it was a great spot. Bartenders were very nice and attentive. They gave great recommendations as well. Everything was phenomenal. Love all the locally sourced ingredients. The vegetable plate was the standout for sure. Also, the building that the restaurant is in is gorgeous.
Sofia Blanco
I wish we would've discovered Husk sooner. It's soooo good. We came for my birthday dinner this year and had a fantastic experience. We had the biscuits to start. They're buttery and cheddar flavored. Delicious. Then we had the baby back ribs which were phenomenal. I'd eat a whole rack as my meal if I could. For entrees, we ordered the beef as well as the shrimp and grits. Both solid choices. The atmosphere was nice as well. Service was wonderful. We will definitely be back.
Morgan Austin
Didn’t make a reservation ahead of time, so we sat down at the bar and had amazing experience. Bartenders served us well and gave some local recommendations. Food was incredible, cocktails too.. but you have to try their whisky collection.
Ksenia Kolieva
I have been excited to come here for a while and it generally lived up to the hype I had for it in my mind. The food was good, but slow to come out. The biscuits and gravy was incredibly salty, but we also had the sweet potato bread which sat on a bed of caramel, so that offered some balance overall. I would suggest coming here but I wouldn’t personally need to come back.
Lauren Aylward
Girls weekend, The Husk for brunch = perfection. The grits and mushrooms, frittata and Johnny cakes are the Best! Michael our server, was super attentive and the service was over the top. Thank you for making our weekend so awesome!
