The Loveless Cafe remains unchanged in the quaint country charm and good home cooking that has made it a southern landmark since it opened it's doors in 1951. There is a lot of "Country Music" history tied to the Loveless, the food is classic and tastes like your Grandma just set the table. There are various shops that you can browse your way through as you smell the ham smoke house and wait for your table. It is about a 20 minute drive from here but worth it!

Rosepepper in East Nashville 5 Points area is most well-known for having amazing margaritas. It’s a one-of-a-kind place that usually has a nightly wait, which is always a sign of good food and service. Three salsas are served with the chips, which is a plus. If you have any room left for dessert, go for the chocolate chimi.

We have to include this Nashville main stay on Broadway. It is one of the few remaining original country bars remaining on the strip and one of the best keep Nashville secrets. We love it, great band every night and you can watch the tourist pass it by or just dance! Just a few places down from Tootsie's, Robert’s Western World has consistently offered old-school country music and rockabilly for those seeking a true Nashville honky-tonk experience. And while it’s undoubtedly more bar than restaurant, the fried bologna sandwich with an icy PBR and MoonPie for dessert is an unarguably iconic Music City meal.

Oh, and the sliding windows at the bar provide access from the outdoor patio, which is pretty awesome. Try the jerk shrimp taco.
