Food Scene

Nothing says Nashville more than The Waffle House. It's a unique place. Don't be looking for fancy. You have to try the blueberry waffles. They are fantastic.

Nashville has sent ordinary fried chicken back to the farm. A Tennessee legend, Prince's Hot Chicken may fry up its spicy goodness in a sketchy neighborhood, but loyalists flock to its one-room storefront every noon hour. Chicken gets cooked by the order, so expect a 30-minute wait. And expect it hot. We suggest the "Medium" order.

First off, don't let the fact that this restaurant is inside a hotel affect your decision to go here. We met Lewis when we sat down (very nice guy) and ordered the edamame based on his feedback that it "wasn't hot at all" - Lewis, I am not sure if someone overdid it with the spices on ours but DANG it was spicy! Good....but definitely had a large kick. So just be warned! :) Great local beers on tap. Good service and nice atmosphere.

One of the local outposts of the Florida-based chain - the other is in Murfreesboro - Bonefish is obviously all about... fish. Diners first choose their fish from grilled, sauteed or baked options like flaky Mahi Mahi or melt-in-your-mouth sea bass. Then, it's time to top with a sauce, maybe a classic lemon butter or spicy Chimichurri. It may be a chain, but it does know it's way around seafood. Not that you can't find something to enjoy if you are craving red meat with your meal. The Fontina Chop features a boneless pork chop with Fontina cheese, garlic, prosciutto and mushroom marsala wine sauce -delicious. (615-771-1025)
