    When I u tell you this was the best meatball sandwich I've had... Baby, the service was quick, I also got some chicken breast and a skirt steak. The beef fat fried potatoes were INCREDIBLE. Kinda crowded, but it was a weekend and they have tables outside. With a try for sure. They also have organic wild caught fish and olive oils and such.

    Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We've heard amazing things and couldn't wait to check it out ourselves. Their kitchen hours are 11-3 so it was incredibly busy! Food was amazing, fresh and the meat was incredible. Would highly recommend! Everyone was so kind and helpful with ordering and providing suggestions. We even left with blueberry breakfast sausage to try at home.

    One of my favorite cheeseburgers in town! HIGHLY recommend! The indoor space is pretty small, but they have a great patio! The service was also pretty quick. They also sell high quality meat that you can take home and cook yourself! PLUS, it's right next door to Harding House Brewery, which has a great vibe and so many good beers on tap! Burgers and beer on a patio? It doesn't get much better than that! What I ordered: -Two cheeseburgers one with a side of beef fat fried potatoes and the other with beef chili Parking: Free street parking- wasn't too hard to get a spot when we went!

    I have been meaning to try this place ever since I moved to West Nashville, and finally got the opportunity to! I will say the hours are super tough for me, as the only day of really be able to go would be Saturday since they are only open to get sandwiches during lunch hours. When we went, it was absolutely packed in there on a Saturday during lunchtime which was great to see and honestly didn't surprise me! Since it was so packed, we decided to get our food to go since there isn't a huge area to sit. I will say that although it was pouring when we went, there are typically tables outside where you can enjoy your meal! I heard so much about their cheeseburger so of course I had to try that and the duck fat fries which I've also heard wonderful things about. It took about fifteen minutes for us to get our food. The cheeseburger was one of the best burgers in Nashville. The two beef patties were so tasty, and I love the American cheese slices they put along with the pickles, Duke's mayo, and mustard. The combination of all of those flavors went so well. I'm also a huge fan of the bun they used as well. The duck fat fries were unlike anything I've ever had before. They were tasty, crispy, and went so well with the garlic mayo sauce they give you. I can't believe this was my first time trying this place, but I'll definitely be back! I'm also looking forward to trying their meats!

    Beef tallow potatoes

    Got the cheeseburger, beef tallow potatoes and the BBBLT to go for lunch and it was incredible! I was able to call in my order and it was ready in 8 minutes. The burger was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were some of the best I've ever had! What a great spot for a tasty lunch! Highly recommend!

    Beef fat fried potatoes

    Really great quick stop for lunch. Sandwiches are pretty large and reasonably priced. I ordered the chicky bacon ranch and it was delicious! Lots of chicken and bacon coated in ranch - It was maybe a little less flavorful than I thought it would be although still tasty. Also tried the beef fat fried potatoes which were very crispy and yummy. Overall a great stop that I highly recommend. Haven't tried their butcher shop but looking forward to it at some point!

    Amazing butcher that serves incredible sandwiches. Would highly recommend a visit for lunchtime. The meatball sandwich is the best thing I've tried here, but everything has been great including the Cubano and fried potatoes.

    Cheeseburger

    One of the best burgers in the city. They keep it simple - the answer is in the meat, grinded fresh.

    This is such a gem of a place in the Nations. In addition to being a full service deli counter butcher, they offer a lunch menu with what many call the best burger in Nashville. It's very fresh and flavorful. You can tell the meat is ground in house. I also really love their meatball sub which comes with garlic aioli, giardiniera, provolone, served on a great crusty bread. The staff are very helpful and seem passionate about their work. The place is clean and well organized too. You can grab some unique grocery items like beef tallow too. We are happy to be repeat customers here.

    Bare Bones does not disappoint. The meatball sandwich was just as amazing as I remembered. There's outdoor seating but not a ton indoors, so keep that (and the weather forecast!) in mind if you're hoping to eat there. A must-visit if you're in the area and are a sandwich lover.

    Beef poboy
    Amanda B.

    Stopped by for lunch when my family was in town. Greeted the moment we walked in! The menu is well displayed, it's small (so not overwhelming), but has good variety. It's a great set up inside, and everything in the counter/on the shelves was nicely presented. I tried the meatball sub, my dad got the pastrami sandwich, and my brother did the beef po boy - we all loved our choices. The beef on the po boy was a crowd favorite for all of us - it was so tender and well seasoned! The bread used on all sandwiches was great as well! Great lunch spot, and local butcher!

    Bread, 5 stars. Potatoes, 5 stars. Excellent sammich experience. Drinks are beer, then nothing with ice, FYI. Can drinks, glass bottle Coke, or water with no ice. Seating inside very limited. 3 Picnic tables outside and more space if the restaurant next door isn't busy. Parking is limited. Will go back for the burger, as that is what everyone was raving about but the potatoes alone are worth the visit. Just be ready for trendy Nations seating and parking, y'all.

    Cuban sandwich with tallow fried potatoes

    A butcher shop with beautiful meats in the case. They have an area with windows where you can see workers cutting the meat. The person taking the order was personable and answered any questions about the menu. I got a Cuban & an order of the beef tallow potatoes. The Cuban was one of the best I've ever had. Everything from the meats, cheese, pickles & bread were amazing. The beef tallow fries were excellent. I can't wait to go back to try other sandwiches on the menu.

    Walking into Aloha Fish Company feels like stepping into a little slice of Hawaii right in…read moreNashville. It has that laid - back, market style vibe with a fish market and takeaway, along with pantry items. I ordered the ahi tuna poke bowl with all the toppings and found it incredibly fresh and flavorful. Only wish they put more fish in the bowl for the price! Service was warm and welcoming and it's nice to be able to eat at the outdoor seating when weather permits!

    I've been looking forward to trying this fish for a while after I saw that the business was moving…read moreinto its new space at one city. It met my expectations and beyond! I was immediately met with smiling faces and an offer to explain their menu as it was my first time in. I ordered a poke bowl with all the toppings and an order of their special: Kalua pork. It was too cold to eat outside, so I took the food home to share with family. Although I ordered a mixed poke bowl, it turned out there was only ahi added. However, it was the freshest tuna I've had in forever (or ever, maybe!). It brought me right back to a short time I lived on Oahu, eating plain marinated ahi before bowls were so popular! Next time I'll make sure to try the salmon. The kalua pork was equally authentic with its tender bite and smoky flavor, and it paired perfectly with the rice and mac salad. We did add a bit of Japanese bbq sauce to the meat at home, which made it a little more interesting. The portions were enormous! I shared with family and had enough pork leftover for a next-day lunch. There is no indoor seating, but because it's located at one city, there is plenty of outdoor community seating. I'll be back in better weather, to enjoy a fresh catch while watching a beach volleyball match! Before then, I may swing by to pickup one of their dinner kits with the freshest fish in Nashville.
