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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

It's a great late night quick bite spot. Came here on labors day weekend around 1am and it was really busy. We waited 30 minutes for our food, We ordered three burgers and fries. Overall experience was just alright read more

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. read more

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 read more

I mean it's ok. It's a dive. Not sure how bar like it is, more like a diner with select alcohol options. Got over charged for a bacon cheeseburger, chill cheese dog and animal style fries. $40. Cheeseburger had no seasoning and was rather bland. The fries were amazing. Not a friendly staff. Good luck. read more

Did Dino's get bought by private equity? Are they trying to increase margins to better shareholder value? Idk but the new burger is garbage. The people and service are great but god damn the burger is no longer good. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Love this place and the food, frequent customer. But last night had a bad experience. I was grabbing my food and helping grab some of my friends food to be nice because they were locked in the both. In doing this he tells me to "chill out" i said to him I'm just tryna help my friends get their food. Then he proceeds to say "and I'm just tryna make sure people don't steal" WHAT. Jerk thing to say. pale tall kitchen guy with glasses. Guess there is a food police now and not a nice one. If you work in customer service~maybe try doing your main job which is being a nice person. And maybe don't accuse people of stealing?? read more

I've been wanting to try this Nashville staple for 12 years. One random Saturday night after a concert at Ascend. I got lucky and Dino's didn't have a line. So a friend and I decided to stop in. I immediately fell in the love with the vintage diner/ dive bar atmosphere. My burger and fries were both equally good. Nothing to go crazy over, but it did the job. It was just what I needed before calling it a night! read more

A perfect dive bar, the vibes are grungy and fun. Expect a bit of a wait no matter what time you come in, but the food is worth it. No frills, just good food! We really appreciated the option to order a beyond burger. And they have those diner style fries that aren't thick cut but aren't thin either, and they have that crunchy golden coating. So. Good. read more

A Burger and a Beer - Must Stop in Nashville My favorite spot in Nashville. They have the elements for a victory. An old bar serving great beers and drinks, history, and the cook right behind the bar. A fabulous burger. If you're looking for a friendly bar, with solid, no frills food, this is your place. Keeps the old school feel, but not at the expense of taste or cleanliness. Jasmine was as friendly as could be as the bartender and James was quick at the grill- good times!! Thanks read more

Dino's is my favorite dive bar/restaurant in town, and while it's not known for this, is one of my top picks for fried / hot chicken! Whenever I'm wanting to eat something naughty, I go to Dino's and get their cheese (Velveeta, baby) fries, and their hot chicken. Make sure you get ranch on the side because they serve it with tartar sauce (weird, I know). Their burger is also one of my fave in Nashville- it's a must try. Dino's, I will love you always. read more

Was craving a good burger and fries and happy to find Dino's was open late. Got here around 1:45am and this place was poppin'! Small divey bar was full of customers, which was already a great sign. Menu was posted above bar area. Got a burger, animal fries, and tenders. Great music was playing while we waited for our food. Dim lighting sets up the mood. It was about a 45 minute wait for our food, but so worth it! The burger patties were excellent! The animal fries were on point. Reminded me of good ol' In-N-Out! Wish they were well done. If we come back here before heading home, I'd request the fries well done. Tenders were crispy and had a nice kick to it! Highly recommend! read more

The atmosphere was perfect for a little dive bar and diner. It has a back patio for day drinking as well. You can't beat coke in a glass. I got a burger and animal style fries for $20 so price isn't that bad. Just your regular ball park burger though. I'm more of a smash burger guy myself. Animal style fries were really good but it's hard to mess those up. Chloe's chicken sandwich was amazing. Had like a fried catfish texture. Will definitely be getting that whenever I go back. Solid rating. read more

Came here around midnight on Saturday for a late night snack - the place was packed! Food took about an hour. I got the cheeseburger, which hit the spot. I tried some fries and the tomato soup of a friend and those were both tasty. A great late night food spot, but just a long wait! read more

Went late night with my nieces while on a trip. This was the BEST thing we did in Nashville. The cheeseburger was incredible. SO GOOD.

Dinos is the perfect dive bar (contradicting I know). Dingy, eclectic, no nonsense are the best words to describe this east nashville spot. Don't sleep on their delicious burger. No frills with this burger but it checks all the boxes and has this sense of nostalgia about it. Grab a high life, burger and bar stool and stay awhile! The bar tenders are super nice too! read more

Hell freaking yeah this place is AMAZING. I visited Nashville with some friends for about a week and we came here twice. Depending on what time you go you may be waiting (but, if you're going late, it's probably because you're a little tipsy - so who cares?) but it is worth every single second. The burgers are absolutely delicious. The vibe is just perfect. I don't know if I'll ever be back in Nashville again but if I have the privilege, Dino's will be my first stop. read more

Dino's - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Best late night food in Nashville! It's a simple menu. Burgers, fries, drinks and open until 3am. It was fun sitting at the bar watching the cook work the grill and build 6-7 burgers at a time. The food is delicious, but even on a Monday at 1130 it was crowded and the bar itself only has 7-8 seats. If you were ever trying to define "trendy dive bar" this is it. The atmosphere was great, every seat was filled, and it's small and cozy inside. The bartender and line cook were both really friendly. I got my fries Joes way. It's worth a try, but it kind of turns the side of fries into a small meal in and of itself. $8 cheeseburger. $3 fries if you are going standard fries without the toppings. Going Joes way adds 5 bucks so it's an $8 plate of fries which was too high to get them again. Still delicious, but the standard fries are still good. This is definitely going to be high on my list of recommendations to anyone looking for late night food. read more

Really solid dive bar with killer food. They do in-n-out style animal fries which are pretty good (review from a native Californian). I really loved their hot chicken (I subbed my fries for animal fries and it was a perfect pairing) i liked that its served on top of the wonder bread, plus the pour of sauce on top was simply perfection. Come here have a bite and a few drinks and you'll have a good time! read more

Dino's - Joe's hot chicken w/animal fries - American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

HANDS DOWN the best burger and fries in Nashville. Also, my personal favorite hot chicken place (as a Nashville native). Come for the food, but stay for the vibes. The staff are so hardworking and friendly, every time I come to Dino's I find myself watching them work *so hard* but also *so well.* I love to sit at the bar and talk to the other regulars, watching the crowd and the cook. Dino's is open late, and very popular (for good reason!) so if you want food, best to come before 2:30am. If I could give Dino's a 13 out of 10, I would. Try the Armadillo Ale!! It is the perfect beer to wash down some Joe's Style fries and hot chicken. read more
