55 South nails it every time! With a great menu full of Southern comfort food classics, and top notch service, this place is one of my favorite spots for lunch in this neighborhood! The Gumbo, Pimento Cheese Chicken Sandwich, and Philly Cheesesteak are all delicious, with huge portion sizes. read more

I've been to this location several times over the years and the food and service are consistently good. The ambiance is casual and laid back. The staff are friendly and the food comes out in a timely manner. They serve Louisiana style, southern inspired comfort food. They offer Brunch on the weekends. They have a full bar and several uncovered tables outdoors. There is free parking around the restaurant. This is one of the few places in Brentwood that you can get Oysters. Along with that, they offer Apps, Gumbo, Salads, Platters, Sandwiches and Entrees and Brunchy drinks on the weekends. It's worth checking out. read more

Consistent good food. They have the best fries. New app on the menu- fried green tomatoes and shrimp with remoulade- was very good. Deanna and Susanah were not working tonight, the guy at the bar took good care of us. read more

Went to 55 south fir a family reunion. We started with the chargrilled oysters, which were delicious and served with large portions of bread. We ordered the NOlA cheesesteak and the mahi Rueben. Both were great. The sangrias are probably the best we have had. read more

I frequent this place and have never had an issue before, but my most recent experience was honestly pretty embarrassing. My fiancée and I stopped in for a drink and to place a to-go order, and the bartender questioned whether we were of age. That's understandable, but after showing valid IDs, they still weren't convinced and brought the manager over. We also showed photos of our passports, and the manager still said he didn't trust our IDs and refused to serve us. He even mentioned he didn't know how to read out-of-state IDs, which was surprising. I completely understand businesses being careful, but the way this was handled felt unnecessary and uncomfortable, especially as repeat customers. Unfortunately, this experience lost our business. read more

So far so good! Diskin cider to drink. Started with a bowl of gumbo. It was hearty with lotsa chicken and sausage and a shrimp. Tasty! Ordered a Caesar Salad with blackened Mahi Mahi. Patiently waiting for second course...... 55 South is located in a newer area of Brentwood near the nicer of the 2 Hampton Inns. Parking is street so a bit limited. Turf area in front used on weekends for live music I presume. The Caesar salad arrived with a significant piece of blackened Mahi Mahi. The dressing was great and the fish was blackened with the right amount of seasoning. Perfect portion and the croutons were crispy. Good place for drinks and dinner. read more

Our server was very attentive and was great at explaining the menu offerings and making recommendations. I made my own plate with fried chicken, Caesar salad and red beans. The boneless fried chicken was juicy and moist and my salad was cold and crispy. My husband had a smoked turkey sandwich that was full of flavor. read more

Ok while in Brentwood Tennessee we wanted lunch so we stopped at 55 South and it didn't disappoint. From the warm welcoming to being shown to our table Jonathan explained the history of the restaurant to Dana and I and made recommendations on their menu. Our waitress came by and we ordered Chicken Shrimp & Sausage Gumbo, then our Entrees Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya, Shrimp & Grits and for Dessert, Beignets. It reminded us when we spent a week in New Orleans everything was as good as we experienced during our stay there. If you haven't been y'all need to stop by for lunch or dinner, it's more than worth the drive. You can also come by Saturdays & Sundays for their Weekend Brunch from 10 am - 2:30 pm. Dana and Steven will be back! read more

Service was great w Rachael! Decent bar food, also got to watch a few games in the bar. Drinks were good- happy hour stops at 6. My shrimp/fish poboy was excellent- bread was delicious. Broccoli/ cheese- decent, but a bit overdone. I guess I thought it would be a casserole type....I didn't read it correctly. Hot chicken was ok, two were not really fans of the "oil/sauce". Fish tacos were tasty. read more

Love it. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Generous portions, tasty food. Deviled eggs, superb, brisket tacos, even better. If possible save room for the beignets, or get them anyway because they are SO GOOD! Our waiter Lenny was great. read more

We were traveling and found 55 South by a hotel suggestion. You cannot beat how friendly the staff was. We were immediately sat and greeted by the nicest host (Jonathan) and server (Deanna). This is a very cute neighborhood type spot. The menu is pretty diverse and the crab fries were game changing! These fries were a hail Mary order and I'm glad I did. Each dish was perfectly assembled and thoughtful. We had the best visit to 55 South and so glad we stumbled in here for brunch. I would love to come back and try their dinner. Oh, also the prices are pretty reasonable in comparison to other places in Nashville. read more

The food was great! Fried catfish was amazing 8.5 out of 10. The Red Beans & Rice were good, had to add a pinch of salt but that to be expected, 8 out of 10! The Cesar salad was more of an east coast flavor but the in house made croutons saved the day. 7 out of 10 for me. The service was good but it was slow when I went! The ambiance was cool like a Chillies vibe on the inside! One thing to keep in mind, the Turkey Vultures are patrolling the sky's out side waiting for the left overs lol!!! read more

Grilled oysters were good. Food and drinks were quick and the Tailgate lager was awesome

Great place!!!! From service to food. Went Saturday morning when they opened and it was a perfect way to start the day. Gumbo was spot on! Chard oysters were delicious. My wife had the French toast and I was grateful for the "lunchy stuff", as I'm not a big breakfast guy. We were super happy to find this spot less than 10 min from the house. Great vibe! read more

I went to 55 South today, and it was really good! We had the queso and nachos and I loved the chips, but I wish the queso had more brisket in it. Also, I got the fried green tomato bit for my main meal, and I really liked it, it was just really heavy on pimento cheese so I couldn't really taste the fried green tomatoes. Overall, still a really good sandwich. Our waitress was super nice and helpful! read more

Great place for a casual dinner. Food and service were both very good. Will go back again when we are in the Nashville area.

Came here for Sunday brunch and was not disappointed. They had a good selection of apps, brunch and lunch, and drinks. My fav was the Bloody Mary bar and 2 for 1 mimosas. Food was also really tasty and good portions. They even have a little greenway outside with cornhole and picnic tables read more

Adequate ambience. The jambalaya was very good as was the NOLA cheesesteak. Good value for the money. Service was friendly and attentive.

Shrimp salad is perfect. Always delicious! 55 South is my favorite restaurant in Franklin.

Great gumbo and service. We've since already returned. Please get some Japanese whiskey!

So far we were multiple times patronizing this premise. Every time the service was consistently great. Friendly people are working here and I'm talking about restaurant side, seating area. So far we never been seated in bar area. Ambiance is not fancy, but it is very homey and warm. You feel like you are at home. What is the most important we never been rushed out, what is a very important for our family. Everything what we ordered so far was delicious. I particularly like either Seafood Gumbo or PoBoy sandwich. read more

Great food and service. We had the chicken wings and some drinks. The chicken wings were supposed to be hot but I would give them a 2/10 for hotness. They had Donna's Pickle Beer. This is a must try if you like Dill pickles. The only place I have ever seen it. It was New Year's Eve and the restaurant was slow. You could tell the staff really wanted to leave but they were very polite and treated us well. read more

Left with a bad taste in my mouth. I stopped by 45 min before closing time and asked if the kitchen was still open. I ordered food and about 5 min after it arrived they were asking if I want a box. It was still 30 minutes until closing do I said I was still working on it. Shortly after that, the manager came by and told me they were closed and I had to leave. I wouldn't have even ordered food if I knew I was going to get chased out. I ended up taking my food to go and ate it in my hotel room. read more

We went to 55 South on a Friday evening. We were able to get a 4 top in the bar area. The service was very good. Our waitress came quickly and took our drink order. The drinks were very good and reasonably priced. We ordered smoked wings which were very good. We also tried the gumbo which was good as well. The atmosphere was nice as far as a casual sports bar type. It was easy to carry on a conversation. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos! I would go back again. read more

Completely forgot how good their oysters are! We opted for baked and raw - both were fresh and delicious! Fresh fish tacos were fantastic. Lots of great adult beverages choices and food HH!

Popped in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch while traveling for work. They have a gluten sensitive menu and I talked to the waitress about the jambalaya to be sure I could eat it. It came out in a bowl and looked very much like a dinner serving for two! I ate the majority of it but had to restrain myself from overeating... which was hard because it was SO good! It had. Little bit of a kick, but really not much heat. So good! Washed it down with a local cider, although that was a bit drier than I prefer. Meal was delicious, and there's so many things on the gluten sensitive menu, I will definitely stop there again. read more

The first time we went to 55 South the restaurant was half empty and they told us they had no tables for an hour. We went across the courtyard to Suki Sushi and had a nice meal and noticed 55 South was still half empty. We tried again this past weekend and got a table with no waiting. Ordered food that was very basic but decent and the customer service was good. The menu is limited and the food could use a bit more of something. read more

55 South - Friday night dinner out with the family at 55 South Brentwood - Southern Near Me - Brentwood, Tennessee

Went here for Game 3 of the CWS. Surprised it wasn't more crowded. Sat at the bar, had a few beers (half-price during HH until 6pm), and had the Smoked Wings - opted to make them "Nashville Hot style with pickles, white bread, and ranch" for $2 more. Excellent flavor but ZERO heat, which was disappointing. Also had a cup of gumbo and it was very good. Bartender was efficient but seemed to be in a bad mood - I didn't see her smile once over three-plus hours. Good place, very good food. Give it a try. read more

Visited this restaurant on a weeknight and was seated right away. The waitress was friendly and check in often. The decor and music is great at this restaurant. I ordered a cup of gumbo and it was definitely homemade, authentic, and delicious. The smoked wings were juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The comeback sauce served with the wings was very flavorful. All the food at the other tables looked delicious as well. Will come back to try more. read more

We loved this cute little place in Brentwood! I had red beans with rice and fried catfish - it was really good - comfort food and not at all spicy, which was perfect. My boyfriend had jambalaya which was, by contrast, really spicy and super coated with hot sauce. Honestly - it would have been food but too much hot sauce made it too spicy and too pickle-y. Service was okay - the venue is cute and fried pickles were delish. read more

55 South. My favorite brunch spot in all of the Nashville area! This was my first time at the Brentwood location, and it was just as great as my favorite downtown Franklin location. This location, parked right out front. So easy! Menu was the same, so I ordered my go-to favorite item... garlic crab fries! Absolutely delicious. They are crisp, rich, but sweet with the crab and perfectly salty with the Parmesan. Great hit of garlic and I of course top mine with a splash of hot sauce. Yum yum! Friend got the hot chicken sandwich and her son got the chicken tenders off the kids menu. He literally kept asking me for scoops of the crap topping to put on his chicken. Safe to say everyone loves the garlic crab fries :) We ordered the donuts for dessert and they came out perfectly hot and fresh. Not too sweet and just the right amount of chew. Whole table loved them. Happy that this location delivered, 55 South wins my vote no matter which location you are at! read more
