Nashville is more than hot chicken (though we’ve got plenty of that). From legendary BBQ joints to hidden fine-dining spots, here’s our handpicked list of restaurants that locals love; so you can eat like you actually live here: <ol><li data-list="ordered">Arnold’s Country Kitchen: Classic Southern “meat-and-three” since 1982. Think crispy fried chicken, buttery cornbread, and sweet tea that could cure homesickness. </li><li data-list="ordered">Hattie B’s Hot Chicken: Yes, it’s touristy — but it’s also worth it. Choose your spice level wisely. The “Shut the Cluck Up” level isn’t for the faint of heart. </li><li data-list="ordered">The Optimist: Elevated Southern seafood with a modern twist. From wood-fired oysters to lobster rolls, it’s the kind of place you linger over cocktails and forget the time. </li><li data-list="ordered">Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint: Low and slow, Memphis-meets-Texas style. The whole hog BBQ and smoked wings will ruin you for all other barbecue. </li><li data-list="ordered">Locust: Small plates, big flavor. Expect inventive dishes (think dumplings and shaved ice) in a cool, minimalist space. Reservations are a must. </li><li data-list="ordered">Henrietta Red: Seafood and oysters with a Southern heartbeat. Perfect for brunch, dinner, or sipping bubbles at the raw bar. </li><li data-list="ordered">City House: Southern ingredients meet Italian soul. Don’t skip the belly ham pizza — trust us. </li><li data-list="ordered">Peg Leg Porker; BBQ with personality. Dry-rub ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and banana pudding for dessert. </li><li data-list="ordered">Butcher &amp; Bee: Fresh, seasonal, and a little unexpected. Great for brunch or a light lunch with craft cocktails. </li><li data-list="ordered">Mas Tacos Por Favor: From food truck to cult favorite. Fish tacos, tortilla soup, and aguas frescas that hit the spot. </li></ol> WildCrown Tip: Make reservations when you can, especially on weekends.
