    1 lb of wings + Cali fries
    Ashley M.

    Been here plenty of times for drinks and it's always a fun vibe plus they have good happy hour specials. Finally got food for the first time and I'm just wondering what took me so long! You can't beat 1lb of wings for $10 plus the cali fries were huge and delicious.

    Vibes were good! Come during happy hour which is every weekday from 3 to 7 get bogo beer (if same beer purchased). Lots of people in beanies and vests. Good food and cool bartenders (shoutout to Sam). Would return especially on a Friday after work! They even have a few board games

    A solid happy hour in 12 South. The staff is friendly, and plenty of space to seat yourself. The food was delicious and it was great have different dipping sauces for the fries. I definitely will be back.

    While I can't speak to the food, I can speak to the vibe and the booze...which are the most important things anyway! Embers Ski Lodge is a wood-filled, hipster/local-vibed, rustic, yet industrial restaurant and bar that sits in the heart of 12 South. They are two story with a decently sized indoor space that features the large bar, seating with hightops and booths and a game area. Upstairs is all seating with a few high tops and stools lining the edge overlooking the busy streets below. We came here on a Saturday afternoon and were able to catch their 2-4-1 happy hour specials on beers. So naturally we all loaded up as many Montucky's and High Noon's as possible while we bellied up to the railing and people watched! It was a pretty solid afternoon! Service at the bar was solid and pricing wasn't terrible, especially with the happy hour running. Really the only downfall, which is trivial was the single stall restroom...for a place of this size, there was a constant wait to use the single restroom downstairs. Overall, Embers is a cool spot that we will certainly be back to...and I think we owe it to ourselves to scoop up some food along with our booze next time!

    I can only comment on the bar service as we didn't eat here. We had reservations at Urban Grub and wanted a cocktail prior to walking over. Have to say, we were definitely impressed. The ski lodge theme is a bit strange as it's Nashville but the place is nicely decorated and clean. The bartenders were super nice and served us quickly. A lot of beers on tap and many drink options, especially at happy hour! A great crowd from all walks of life, including oldies like us. Loved the hops lights over the bar. The upstairs balcony is really cool and you can see most of 12 South. Next time we're in town we'll be trying the food as the burgers looked freaking awesome.

    Great local neighborhood bar with an upstairs balcony area that overlooks the 12 south area. A bit odd of a ski lodge theme considering we're in the South, but nevertheless a fun local hangout spot! When we went a week ago, they were running on a limited food menu and didn't have any burgers, only appetizers. But still an overall great experience. Cali Style Fries- super good with the caramelized onions, cheese and animal sauce Queso - ask for extra chips cuz the quest is delicious. Brussel sprouts - a must order! Service: Friendly and unpretentious.

    Nice ambiance! We loved it. It just remembers me those ski slopes I went in Colorado. Food was great, too. We got hamburgers. It comes with fries. Fries were so freshly fried. Burger was really great too! People were friendly as well. We really enjoyed!!

    What a fun place! I'll come here again for sure. If you live close, this is such a small and cozy place to just come and chill out for a few hours. The rustic decor is beautiful (the lighting, the bark overlay on the walls, and all the fun games available (darts and board games)). Our waiter was AMAZING, and the food was delicious! Our waiter made us feel like he owned the place and we were his very first customers. He was so knowledgeable, so friendly, so down to earth, and incredibly attentive. Our food and drinks were all on point! Out of a party of 8, we were all satisfied with our meals! I had the brussel sprouts which were SO good! They were cut into halves, I believe they were then pan fried, and drizzled with some sort of light dressing. Either way, they were delicious! There were some brussel sprouts haters in my party lol, and after they tried them, they were won over! I also enjoyed the lobster roll which was jam packed with flavorful lobster. Every bite I took, I was pleased with. I also tasted their fries which were perfectly cooked, soft on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. I was very pleased! Lastly, there are a few parking spots right in front of the restaurant if you get lucky, but we ended up having to park a block away on the street. Honestly, it was no big deal, since it was free street parking, and the weather was nice :)

Just pay attention to the signs that block off portions for residents only. The restaurant seating is outside, but they're covered patio has a ton of fans and his temperature regulated. We ate outside on a day that was 80° and it wasn't as bad. The decor is super fun and very 90s themed. There's even a VCR set up near the bar area that plays old movies. Service was fantastic, especially for a fast casual place. Shout out to Grant for amazing recommendations and hospitality. Grant recommended the bologna sandwich and I am so glad I listened. I love bologna, and that was truly the best bologna sandwich I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend getting a side of their fries as well. We also had the lamb roti, which was very unique but had amazing flavor. There are plenty of cocktail options and mocktail options. I didn't try one, but apparently their margaritas are really great with passionfruit. I can't wait to go back to this place and get another bologna sandwich. I may go back tomorrow...

The cabbage salad was well dressed, well seasoned, and the homemade pork rinds added so much in terms of flavor and texture. Best salad I have ordered out all year.

The muffuletta was a solid sandwich and really big. The potato salad was yummy. It looked to mayonnaise heavy, but it was flavorful and satisfying. The cannoli wasn't my fav, but it was fine. The shell was a little too hard, and it wasn't filled in the middle. Each item in the order was wrapped and taped separately. Then, the brown paper bag was stapled shut and a large sticker was taped over the bag's opening. It would have been very obvious if someone tampered with the bag. I really liked all the care they put into packaging everything. Overall, a good experience, and I'd go back.
