We have been all over the world, and been to some rough and rowdy places. You could hear music from a guitar from the street. We usually avoid places like that but we thought we would give it a try. We went here on advice from friends. There were 6 of us two guys and 4 women. Despite some of the negative reviews comparing this place to "McDonalds" that was not our experience. We did not sit at the bar but the staff was very accommodating to ensures the all of us where seated together Our bartender, I think her name was Amanda was very friendly and amazing keeping up with all of our party. She was even able to provide drinks, knowing exactly what our party was ordering even with a vague description. If you are looking for a place to drop in and have good burger. I had the Big Jimmy Burger, which consist of lettuce, tomato, onion, the "special house sauce". My wife had the spicy chicken sandwich with onion rings. The chicken was cooked just right, while being juice with a hint of crispy to it.The Spicy Chicken was phenomenal. Onions rings were firm and not slimy as other places, the breading stayed on when biting in to it. They actually bring you a bottle of ketchup instead of small packets or little cups. The food is reasonably prices and was of good portions.Amazing cocktails and sumptuous food offerings combine to create a experiences like no other place in Nashville. The Music here is diverse and usually offers something for everyone. I think the group we saw as (Callum Wade) but not sure. What was meant to be a short stop turned in to several hours. We will definitely be back next time we are in Nashville. This is just off Broadway, The atmosphere here is relaxing and not as chaotic as some if the reviews indicated.

Loaded fries

Stopped in for some loaded fries and drinks. Loaded fries were LOADED!...too many toppings to list. There was a great acoustic singer entertaining us as well. Great place to stop in for a quick snack and drink

Menu, bar happy travelers!

Looking for a place to drop in and have a good burger. Big Jimmys was perfect for that and happy hour drinks too! We had to order at the bar, plenty of seating available, Live music. Jump In off the rush of Broadway grab a burger and fries, drinks and back at it. Food came out quickly, burger was juIcy and as I requested. We'll be back!

I know it's a lot of people's big dream to sing in Nashville. It's not as hard as you think. As a fact, it might be the one thing that you do all day long. This place is located on the side street off of Broadway . We were looking for some food . Curly fries and Jalapeño poppers . Let's not forget a side order of sing-along music with the Musician singing in the restaurant! Unfortunately, I did not get his name, but he was really good and we all sang along with him !

Big jimmy's is a American food/bar establishment located right in the heart of downtown nashville Tennessee popular strip of honky tonks, bars and eateries. My buddy and I was in town for an event at Nissan stadium on a Saturday night and was looking to grab a bite to eat for supper before our event. Every place in the immediate area was insanely crowded with longer waits. This newer establishment we was able to grab a spot and get some food much quicker. You walk to the bar and order the food and receive a number and seat yourself at first available seating. The food menu is much more limited than the drink menu. Pretty much strictly hamburgers. I personally went with the Daddy burger with bacon. Sides are À la carte and cost per siding added. So this needed up being a $20 burger after extras and tip. My buddy went with the Spicy chicken sandwich and a Mille lite. The burger was on the smallish side for the price but it did have a very good flavor and they processed the food rather quickly. My buddy enjoyed his spicy chicken sandwich but said it didn't exactly wow him. Overall the place has a nice atmosphere and worked well for what we both needed. The pricing was borderline ridiculous but which is this places only downfall that we experienced.

If you're looking for fun, great burgers!! Excellent music, look no farther!! This place is one of our favorites on Broadway, well actually just off Broadway

I went into town today for some business and had the family with me. We had a coupon for Big Jimmy's and decided to give it a try. What a waste. Save your money. There so much better food downtown than this. Bowling alley burgers. This is the best way I can describe them. I would have enjoyed McDonald better (I LOATHE McDonald's). This is only getting 2 stars because the pepper Jack Mac and cheese was the only good food. This is one of those bars downtown that only survive because of everyplace else down there is packed. So they get the overflow. (I made the mistake of going there on purpose) Staci wasn't friendly, at all. It seemed when we arrived we interrupted whatever she was doing and it didn't make her happy. Barely a "Hello, how can I help you" . No one else was in the restaurant. I should have left right then. All over the tiny restaurant was tiny little signs saying "no table service, order at bar". 4 Burgers (one of them free actually because I had the coupon), 2 orders of onion rings, one curly fry and pepper Jack Mac and cheese. 2 cokes and beer .... ONE HUNDRED AND TWO DOLLARS! To top it, Staci decided to add herself a whopping 20% tip and she did NOTHING. We had to retrieve our food and drinks from the bar. For a 20% tip you'd think she'd bring her ass out from behind the bar and deliver the food. She didn't bother checking on us or asking if we needed anything else. And why should she, she gave herself a tip anyway. I can see why she's on day service in a busy tourist town. No one wants to deal with someone like her in the evening when people actually patron the bar.

I got a good old burger and a beer at big Jimmy's bar and Grill restaurant. We had a good time. It was very crowded so it was hard to get around but this is because it was a fun atmosphere. They have live music and it was good, so we really enjoyed ourselves.

This is a cute little place on 2nd street off the main tourist attractions on Broadway. We saw three different women over the course of two nights and all were wonderful musicians. It's much more intimate and less congested than what you'll find on Broadway. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich!

NYE and we made a dinner reservation but that restaurant (Nashville Underground) SCREWED us so we were hangry and it's busy everywhere but we stumbled in on Big Jimmy's. They saved our NYE! Casey and Jax are amazing. And the guys who cooked our food, also amazing: We were at a ton of bars today on Broadway and all of the staff were rude and miserable to be working on NYE (get it... but at $15 per drink...I don't get it). It was SO refreshing to have bartenders who are welcoming and fun and happy. Turned our NYE around! Yeah, thank you - we love Big Jimmy's!!!!

Nice bar with table seating on the side.

Nashville, y'all showed OUT for this bachelorette brunch!…read more A little bride time, a little girl time, and a whole lot of GOOD FOOD! My daughter, my BFF, and I headed to The Mockingbird in Nashville, Tennessee for a bachelorette brunch, and let's just say the food did not disappoint! The menu was full of creative dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. From the burger and seasoned fries to the steak and eggs, crispy Brussels sprouts, and everything in between, we had ourselves a proper brunch! But can we talk about that GRILLED CHEESE?! Listen... we LOVED it! Sometimes the simplest dishes end up being the ones you remember most, and that grilled cheese definitely made an impression! And the sweetest little touch? The Mockingbird surprised us with a "Congrats, Bach!" card that made our celebration feel even more special. Good food, great company, and making memories with two of my favorite girls before the big day. That's what this season is all about! She Eats He Eats: Bachelorette Edition! The Mockingbird | Nashville, TN Now tell me... are you ordering something adventurous for brunch, or are you sticking with a classic grilled cheese?

All three plates landed well and the kitchen kept things simple and consistent. The mocktail program deserves a mention. I had the Punchin' Bag (mocktail version) and my wife had the virgin mojito, and both were done right, not an afterthought. Their signature punch is the house calling card. Easy room to sit and talk through a meal. We will be back.

We were greeted by Beverlyn (I think that's how you spell her name), and WOW...what a welcome! She was amazing, and can this girl SING! Somebody give her a microphone! Her energy and vibe set the tone for the entire lunch. I ordered The Tennessee Burger, cooked medium, and it came out PERFECT! Just a little pink, super juicy, and that Jack Daniel's red pepper jam hit the boombox playing Run DMC...come on! That's a lunch with a soundtrack! My wife went with the American Burger, which she loved, along with a Chocolate Milkshake. And WOW...that shake was GOOD! I waited until the end for my treat--and then went all in with the Chocolate Oreo Shake. BOOM! Soooo good! Next time, I'm coming back for one of their legendary Sundaes. Go online and check them out, they are truly works of art! If you live in Nashville or you're visiting Music City, what are you waiting for!! This is a great date-night spot, but make sure you come hungry! Great burgers. Great shakes. Great music. Great vibe.

Quick note: the kitchen of most Broadway bars close before 10pm on week days. Shocker right!?!?…read more Anyway, after a quick YELP search, we made our way to Black Tap. It's in such a great location, right off Broadway, away from the craziness but still walkable. This burger joint has a laid back atmosphere with some cool, chill dudes on staff. Adam, in particular, was our rockstar. He brought the recommendations, the beer and the vibes . Burgers were juicy, portions were filling, fries were crispy and beers were ice cold. We stayed until closing with the staff closing up around us without kicking us out. Black Tap is 10/10 for Nashville eats

The Greg Brady is right up my alley with putting atypical items open sandwiches, even chip. You can imagine my delight in seeing a restaurant that has a burger with chips on the burger as part of the menu. And the Mac and cheese is on the burger too. "A" for creativity. Only two complaint, but neither will deter me from highly rating and recommending here highly: 1. Parking on location is tiny and fills up quickly. There's paid down the street. 2. Music is tad loud for my preference. Call me old, but would prefer it slightly quieter. Music choices were great, nonetheless! But as I said, still enjoyed myself and will still recommend Jack's.

I think crinkle cut fries are the best cut of fries, but a lot of places mess them up because they don't fry them long enough. This place does it right. Super crispy on the outside but still fluffy inside. Both burgers were cooked well and came on a soft potato roll bun. I thought both were good, but I would say the Cobra Kai was the better one. It had a nice kick to it, and the jalapeño jam added some sweetness that went really well with the heat. They also give you a bottle of their house sauce that was kind of like a garlic aioli. It went really well with the burger and fries. Glad I took the local's recommendation. Would come back again.
