Best Southern American Restaurants in Nashville

We had a party of 4, sat outside in the heated patio. Very comfortable and cozy. 2 of us got the shrimp and grits. Savory sauce, really good. My husband got the scallops. He enjoyed them, good flavor but there were only 3 scallops. Would go back.

Amazing experience! Bottom mimosas were a plus! Our waiter was a amazingggg! I can’t remember his name but older guy with nice gray hair! Wish him the best on his endeavors!! Will be back’!!!!

4/5 stars. Very good overall. Asked on line if our reservation was a special occasion-it was my boyfriend’s birthday. It was also printed on our ticket that was placed on our table. No mention of it to my boyfriend or anything special made specifically for the occasion.

Music City stalwart with a menu of intriguing plates, combinations, seasoning, service and presentation. Midtown also respects, protects and burnishes the legacy of beloved and indefatigable raconteur Randy Rayburn. The staff is cordial, attentive, and responsive and it leaves you with the impression they are one big family. Kristine was fantastic this morning and emblematic of all who seat and serve you. I consider Midtown Cafe to be a convenient and terrific setting for a family occasion, to sit alone and dine at the bar, or to conduct a business meeting. I have done this often. Randy's greeting was always, "Welcome to our home." He meant it. Midtown continues to feel like home and there's a reason Nashville boasts The Randy Rayburn School of Culinary Arts at Nashville State. Special man, special commitment to pleasing his guests, and what impact he had on the community. For me, there's a magnetic pull to return. I do not resist it.

Food and service were excellent. Reservations thriugh Open Table were very easy. My party really enjoyed the food and service provided. Highly recommend this restaurant.
