Renowned for dishes like shrimp and grits and "fried green tomato Benedict," it's a Nashville staple. The "attentive" staff and convenient shuttle service enhance the dining experience, making it a must-visit.

    This was our first time in Nsshville and the restaurant was highly recommended with good reason. Our mesls were excellent, the service was excellent and the atmospheric was fine without being pretentious. Reservations are a must.

    We always have a great experience at Mid-Town. Have returned many time and will return again. I love sitting in the alcove beside the bar. The restaurant was very busy so service was just a tiny bit slow. Otherwise that category would have received a star too.

    My experience was the same as all the others over the last 10 years. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the US. The food is so good and the service is great. And a real value for the wonderful food that they prepare.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in Nashville. The food and service are always good. We especially like their breakfast / brunch menu but honestly, it's all good. Reservations are recommended (though not absolutely necessary if you don't mind waiting). They also have a fantastic bus service to the downtown venues (theater, stadium, concert hall) which can be booked ahead of time to save driving and parking in the very busy areas of town. Highly recommend a stop at this place if you're in town.
