    Chips, salsa, and tomatillo salsa
    Cody H.

    The decor in the restaurant is nice and well thought out. It was raining when I was there, but they do have outdoor seating. Service was friendly and efficient. It was extremely cold inside though. I'd guess 60-62. I normally sleep at 67 and it was much colder than that inside. The food was mostly really good. The chips were a little too crisp and didn't have a lot of flavor. The tomatillo salsa was house made, super spicy, and very flavorful. The queso wasn't too runny, and the regular salsa tasted good as well. I got the quesadilla rellena with ground beef. It was smaller than I expected, but I was still plenty stuffed afterwards! It came with rice, lettuce, guacamole, and a full slice of tomato. I requested no beans. Overall, solid 4 stars. I'll be back.

    Chili Poblano
    Ed S.

    Ok! A molcajete is by far one of my most favorite dishes so i was excited to see a new restaurant by the same name. I was not disappointed. The ones here are huge and definitely enough to share. Delicious. I also love a good poblano. What most places call a chile relleno. We had a couple with the molcajete. They were good but pretty standard. As good as the food was, the best part was the service. Rebecca was an absolute delight. Super helpful with my keto requirements and even brought me a taste of all their sauces so I could pick what worked best. We were pretty impressed and will be back. Probably a lot.

    Pollo Taleco. Chicken chorizo and cheese
    Janet M.

    Maybe it is the 2 margareitas speaking but it was all awesome! I had the Pollo Taleco I think. Chicken w chorizo and queso sauce. OMG i am in love. The chorizo was cooked crunchy and was so good with the queso. Every one else had great food as well. Well cooked and flavorful, and of course the margareitas were awesome, but beware of the large ones, you could take a bath in one :-. The service was great and the waitress was super helpful and attentive. Overall a great experience.

    Birria Tacos
    Ken B.

    Similar to other reviews I can hear expecting mid tier service and food. However I was pleasantly surprised by the good service and excellent food. The salsa they give you is delicious a bit on the spicier side but I enjoyed. The guacamole casero was fresh and tasty. The birria tacos were delicious and my wife loved her enchiladas. I would definitely come back. Really enjoyed our first experience.

    Combo fajitas for two!
    Erd L.

    Great food. We had the combo fajita for two. It was huge! It was delicious. Service was good. Atmosphere was nice. The margaritas were beyond great. We'll definitely be back.

    Birria tacos with the broth
    Anastasia K.

    This visit was awesome. The family came out and we just had the best service. Our server was attentive, delightful, and was friendly. We had enchiladas, cheese dip, birria tacos, tacos el garbado (shrimp tacos), steak tacos, jamaica, and much more. The restaurant was bustling with patrons, clean, not too noisy, and overall just great. We love this place and will be back.

    Birdsong Social - Steakhouse Burger

    Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Birdsong Social!…read more I had the pleasure of visiting Birdsong Social on a beautiful spring afternoon, and it was perfect from start to finish, as always. The Steakhouse Burger is hands-down one of the best I've had -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. The fries were cooked to perfection: crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and absolutely addictive when dipped in their house ranch. That ranch is next-level -- tantalizingly delicious and packed with flavor! I also loved having the seasonal Mango Cart beer on tap. It was refreshing, crisp, and the perfect complement to the meal. What really made the visit special was the outstanding service. All of the staff were excellent, but Summer D and Abby went above and beyond, making me feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of while I relaxed out on the patio. Sitting outside on a perfect spring day, enjoying my meal with my favorite country music playing softly in the background... it doesn't get much better than that. Birdsong Social has it all -- great food, fantastic drinks, a wonderful atmosphere, and a team that truly cares. I'll definitely be back soon and often. Highly recommend!

    Great happy hour - half price apps. ANY app on the menu. We chose the cowboy nachos. The best way…read moreto describe them...husband asks: "how is your wine?" My answer: "better than the nachos." Then I ask him: "how are the nachos ?" His reply: "not as good as my water". We then split a steakhouse burger. It was good - extremely messy, even if we hadn't split. The problems began around midnight - the fried onions almost killed us - my poor husband was still suffering the next day. We eat fried onions all of the time. No idea what made these guys so potent. The Pinot noir that I chose really was good. Service was ok - a lot of servers standing around talking to each other and to patrons sitting at the bar. The wait for our food was reasonable. If you are driving north on I-65, double check what exit you are going to get off - we followed Waze which took us off one exit too early. If it weren't so far out of our way, would we come back? Probably not.

    Just stumbled upon this place recently, and I most impressed! This place is as authentic as you can…read moreget for Spring Hill! I can't believe that this place is a hidden GEM! The food is absolutely delicious, authentic quality and flavors, the atmosphere is just unbelievably good, the service is friendly, the little store is awesome. I have nothing, but praise for this place! The Lengua tacos are really good! It's very hard to find places with Lengua out here. The birria tacos are delicious and don't fall apart after one bite. We loved the food, the sauce and condiments bar, the store selection, drink options, and even the hand washing station! A hand washing station on the side for customers to use before and after eating!?! Absolutely AWESOME! My family and I LOVED this place and can't wait to come back and try more food!

    As authentic as it gets for Tennessee…read more From the moment you walk in, you are immediately immersed with the culture of a local, genuine, no-frills, Mexican experience. I say "experience" because this place is not just a place to get tacos. Half of the store is also a Mexican food market, which was such a fun surprise. You order up at the counter and simply find the seat that calls to you. Simply pay when you're headed on your way out. The birria pizza was so good. I will go here again just for that alone. So unique, but also delicious. The birria tacos fell a bit short of my expectations, but the burrito was fantastic. Will definitely come back because I can stress this enough, the experience alone was such a great pattern interrupt from how we typically anticipate Mexican restaurants to be. The staff was also very friendly.
