    Bar now features a wait time tracker for food. Definitely a place to bring your loved ones!

    Best burger & fries in town! They also have Beyond burgers which was awesome late night food back in my vegetarian days. If you want food fast, I'd recommend somewhere else. This is a spot to grab a beer, sit on the patio, and talk with friends as you wait for your food. It's always worth it!

    Dino's was high on my bucket list when in Nashville since they were closed the last time I tried coming. It was our first stop of the night as we grabbed some counter seats. This spot has a real dive bar vibe with many locals here. For food, we ordered Joe's Hot Chicken ($10) and Cheeseburger ($8) with Bacon ($2) and Egg ($2). We also got a basket of Fries ($5) made Animal Style (+$5). It's an open kitchen, so you get to watch the food being grilled, especially being seated at the counter. The hot chicken came with three pieces, but I found the meat quite dry and needed the sauce a lot. The cheeseburger is solid though, but quite standard. Surprisingly, my favorite thing here was the animal fries, but just a tad too drenched with sauce too. I was just expecting more for the food since they're so popular for their hot chicken and burgers. Of course we also had a couple drinks. I had a Mezcal Margarita ($13) and Four Roses Ginger Beer Mixed Drink ($8), which were decent. The cups are pretty tiny and most filled with ice. For a dive bar, it's not really worth it either. The add-ons and extra are also quite pricey and not really worth it either.

    Your Dive bars favorite dive bar. This place has cold beer, hot greasy food, friendly servers and retro ambiance. Don't expect some fancy cocktail bar. This place is no frills, tasty bar food. Everything you crave when alcohol has hit the spot. Loved the alt music played - no country here thank gods. They have an outdoor area if you're into that thing. I prefer my dark cozy booth.

    I think this was the egg sandwich my friend had

    We were visiting town and Dino's was recommended to us. Stopped in for lunch. The place is old school and no frills. I had a veggie burger and fries animal style. They don't serve iced tea so I had a sprite. The food was very good. It's a greasy spoon kind of place. You order your food and then they call your name when it's ready. There's a few tables and some counter seating available. The staff were friendly and the food came out pretty quick. I didn't use the bathroom so can't comment on it. I believe there's one step to get into the restaurant so it's not really ADA accessible.

    Had read about this place being one of Nashville's top places for a burger, so I had to try it on my latest trip. While parking in any city is a pain, it is certainly worth the effort to enjoy this awesome and cool dive bar burger, where everything is cooked to order, and the fries are hot & crispy. The staff is super friendly and very willing to answer all your questions that a first timer may have. The staff is awesome, the food is great, and the prices are fair. If you like burgers, be sure to check out this iconic spot when in Nashville; you will be glad you did.

    Very cool dive bar with seating in and outdoor. I got a cheeseburger with a... dirt cup?! Yes. I like this vibe in Nashville. Fun memorabilia around the place and it seems there has been good memories made here.

    More of a diner than a dive bar. Great spot for a late night bite. The hot chicken was great.

    Dino's is the very epitome of a dive bar and is definitely a relic in the ever-changing landscape of Nashville, Tennessee. I came here after hearing positive things about their cheeseburgers and decided to see for myself if the hype was true. I definitely dug the ambiance and the bartender was friendly as I ordered my cheeseburger, French fries and drink at the bar. The music is a bit loud, but hey, it's a dive bar. It's also dimly lit with red light bulbs, but again, it's a dive bar. This is the type of bar that you would see in a 1970's movie when a few unsavory types are boozing it up in a bar. They called my name when my cheeseburger and French fries were done. Tearing into my food, this was how a cheeseburger and French fries should be. Like the bar itself, this cheeseburger was a no-frills presentation, but the burger was done well and the French fries had the perfect crispy crunch to it. For a small bar, it filled up quickly with a smattering of different ages, but the overall vibe was fun and pleasant. If you find yourself in Nashville, Tennessee, please do yourself a favor and set foot in this bar and embrace the vibe and don't miss out on their killer cheeseburgers and French fries.

    Cozy, tiny and wholesome bar vibes. So cool to see all the old bar memorabilia mixed with loads of Dolly art. Snacked on the fried chicken sandwich and hot chicken. Didn't take pics but both were super fresh for only $8 and $10. Came for the Dino Dog event :) staff was super nice and friendly. A bit of a wait for the food but not too long at all if you had a cold one

    Their burgers are to die for. Dive bar with great drinks and the best burgers around town. The line can get long, but they keep it moving quickly . Bartenders and cooks are super chill. I still dream about the burger, It's so bomb. They have plenty of seating inside, but they also have a back door patio if you want some fresh air or to smoke. Was so excited about the Dolly's lemonade stand, but it was closed. That just means I have to go back.

    Hot chicken

    Stopped in after bar hopping in East Nashville (way better than broadway)for late night food. Went with Nashville chicken and a smash burger. Bonus points for having coors original on tap. Good dive bar worth checking out.

    Great dive bar with great food that's cheap. We had our dog and they said no problem. The hot chicken was the best one I had. You could sit here all afternoon and enjoy the atmosphere. Weather permitting of course.

It comes with a lot of bread and is so good. Their smashburger is also really good, and the waffle fries are amazing. The drinks are a highlight too. I loved the skinny margaritas, and the frozen blackberry mule was so good. They have a really nice patio that's perfect for hanging out. The only downside is that I feel like they close the patio/space a little early around 10 PM, and after that the inside gets extremely packed and it's hard to move around. The mozzarella sticks were good, but a lot of them were missing cheese, which was disappointing. Overall, still a really fun spot with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out for a casual dinner or drinks before heading out.

Luckily it was walking distance from one of the trolley stops (Farmers Market). We came in on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy but we were able find a spot. We started with drinks. We then ordered a falafel sandwich with the waffle fries and a queso dip. The fries and the dip were delicious. The falafel sandwich was also good. The service was quick and we picked up a t-shirt on the way out. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

An open kitchen with a wood-burning grill sends heat and aroma across the floor, so the whole space feels alive and warm at once. The staff matched the setting, gracious and sharp from hello to goodbye. The food kept pace. The sausage and cheddar biscuits earn every word of their reputation, we could have made a meal of them. We ate family style, which is the move here, passing everything so the whole table got a taste. Tara's halibut was the runaway favorite, our server called it his top pick on the menu and he nailed it. The mac and cheese and the brussels sprouts vanished fast, and the tri-tip with spaghetti squash and the delmonico rounded out a generous spread. My one small miss was the fried chicken, flavorful but a touch dry, the lone soft note of the night. The carrot cake ice cream cake split the table down the middle, though nobody walked away disappointed. Four stars, with only that dry chicken keeping it from a clean sweep. We left already angling for a reason to return.

I am absolutely sure that in the hour my friend and I were waiting, six other other customers were seated ahead of us. Standing for an hour is okay but only if they're actually taking the customers in order. But then we were seated and with the small menu, I was able to order. A few minutes later, Big Al shouts, "Does anyone want a cinnamon bun?" and I have never been closer to taking a walk from my keto diet. But I was good and only drooled a little watching the couple sitting next to us split theirs. It smelled so good. Brunch arrived and we've now been at Big Al's for 90 minutes. I had selected the day's special, the FOUR egg steak omelet which I had with peppers and onions *filled* the plate. Sloppy and tasty and loaded with probably half a pound of sliced steak. I only took one small bit of my biscuit - fluffy and light but heavy and dense. Delicious. My friend had a concoction that I can only call The Coronary Plate: Fried eggs, fried potatoes, fried chicken. Half of a fried chicken that looked better than anything I've ever seen at KFC or Popeye's or my own beloved Bojangles. Crispy, slightly burned but a light batter and a juicy center. Yeah, get that. Big Al's is an anachronism. The food is cooked by hand, it's delicious and it stands halfway down the block of a completely residential neighborhood. You'll be driving the last couple of blocks and wondering, what am I getting in to? Trust me, they're probably open. Pro tip: Try the gravy. It's spicy!

The grits were so hearty and buttery, and the shrimp had a good amount of spice. We also got the sweet potato chorizo hash, which had the perfect amount of slight heat and special spice blend. (The spices looked red, but I don't know what they were other than paprika??) Both dishes came with biscuits, generously buttered. We were told the biscuits and gravy were special, because the chef does a brown gravy instead of the white gravy. We felt like we had enough food, but if I am ever back in town, I'd try this dish.
