    One of the Smokers.
    Mike R.

    We went here for weekend lunch for the 1st time today and we didn't know what to expect, being it's giving a bar vibe, but the food we had was very good. The menu focuses on " Elevated Bar Food" and scratch made sauces. They serve Apps, Sandwiches, Salads, Sides and a couple of weekend brunch items. They had a Breakfast Burrito today, but I think it's a rotating option. They also have 13 local and regional beers on tap and serve cocktails also. This is a local place to bring the family as they have covered outdoor tables with a huge fenced in backyard. The outdoor area is dog friendly and they have a playground and activities for the kids. They have Live Music, Rotating smoker specials, Trivia Night, Karaoke and a Writers night. I would recommend going to their website to find out when these activities occur and when and who is playing Live Music. The service was very good and the employees were friendly and helpful. You place your order at the Bar, they give you a number and bring your food to you. You sit wherever you want. It does get busy. There were several people there when we arrived ( shortly after opening ) and when we left it was already getting busy. To finish the review--- They have a kids menu and the burgers come with housecut Potato Chips. The burgers are served on a Sweet Potato Bun which I've not seen anywhere else. I really liked it. It added a touch of sweetness to the tasty Burgers. Go check 'em out !!

    Patio and huge yard!

    Such a cute place! I went on a Sunday just wanting to enjoy a beer and some outside time. I knew they had a patio. Was not expecting live acoustic music! I also had a grilled cheese which was delightful. I will definitely be back!

    Best burger in Wilson county. Also, the juiciest chicken wings! Service is great! Love that the kids can run around. They always have good music too!!

    Cheese Curds
    Christina C.

    We had such a great experience here! The food came out fast and was absolutely delicious--highly recommend the cheese curds (so good!) and the moose burger. What really made this place special for us was the playground. Our daughter loved it, and honestly, so did we! She is autistic, and eating out at a typical restaurant can be really challenging, but this environment made it enjoyable and stress-free for all of us. We truly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and will definitely be back!

    We were looking for some live music and didn't want to make the 40 min trek into Nashville. The Hillside Hangout was right down the street from our campground. We were there on a Tuesday night and it was $1 wing night! They were pretty good but you can tell they were cooked in advance because I'm sure they were anticipating large orders on "special" night. They have a smallish stage, but the sound was good. There are plenty of picnic tables to eat and enjoy the music. You order food/drinks inside and they'll bring it to you. BIG play area for kids. The only downside is parking. It's a very small parking lot, but you can park at one of the businesses next door and walk the sidewalk to get to the restaurant.

    Love the relaxed atmosphere, the live music, room for the kids to run around and play, and the food was great!!! All the staff were attentive and helpful. We will absolutely return!

    I don't remember the name of the burger I was served

    I went there on a Wednesday afternoon for a cheeseburger. It looked really good according to their Instagram profile. But however, looks can be rather deceiving. I ordered one of their burgers that was on the picture, and I was quite disappointed. First off, it was way too cheesy with not so much flavor coming from the burger itself. The bun was dry, and it didn't taste fresh at all. At least my burger came out nice and hot. I've had better burgers than that. The french fries were frozen and it tasted like the oil in the fryer hasn't been changed in a while. What's bizarre is that the water comes from a plastic container, like the ones you see at a football game. That building in general has been through various phases with different failed businesses. I was curious to check out Hillside Hangout, after I've heard that Prost and Riot did pretty well in the last year or two. If you're looking for a place to hang out after work, I would either recommend the Goat, or your local Buffalo Wild Wings

    After coming here for the first time in my 4 years in Nashville, I can say that the KDUB sandwich…read moreis one of my favorites in the city! I love the avocado and ruffles added as a welcomed addition to a classic turkey club type of sub. Add in that it is all on a fresh Dutch roll and it is a chefs kiss! Proper levels of savory and tangy with all the toppings that make this sandwich what it is and texturally complex. The staff was busy but attentive and patient with everyone even during the Saturday lunch rush. The owners are front and center working with all the staff at the counter and in the kitchen prepping all the food and adding to the hospitality and small business feel that makes you enjoy spending your time and money at a place like this. It is a nice touch that they have a dip come with any pretzel ordered. The pepperoni stuffed pretzel was solid heated up, but for me was lacking the option of a marinara type sauce to dip it in. The everything bagel is properly seasoned the way I like it not sparing a bit of open space on the surface and fully covered in seasoning. These pretzels are unique in shape and have you wanting to come back and try all the different varieties, both regular and special unique danish and dessert pretzel infusions. I will definitely be back to try other sandwiches and desserts!

    I think this might be the most incredible sandwich I have ever had and I am a bit of a sandwich…read moresnob. This sandwich was what I always wanted Al'Anitico Vinaio to be but never was, and could never dream of being. The inside is your typical deli counter/sandwich shop setup. Nothing fancy and not trying to be. The "Hamma Mia" was on the most perfect focaccia I have ever had on a sandwich. Extremely fresh and fluffy, they said it takes 3 days to make! The artichoke cream and homemade motz are two of the freshest ingredients again, that I think I have had. Flabbergasted is honestly the only word I have for how good this place was. Will definitely be my go to local sando place from now on. Cant wait to try their other offerings. Staff was super helpful and made a recommendation based on "if you had to pick 1." Go try them out!

    I have been to Dozen Bakery a dozen times by now, even before it relocated…read more This bakery has an excellent selection of baked goods and pastries that sell like hotcakes. I love the newer location, as the space is larger and there is ample parking. The bakery can get very busy, so I always plan to come early. I usually drop in to quickly pick up their sourdough bread, which I love for how fresh and high-quality it is! I have tried their regular sourdough loaf, which is really good, but my current favorite is their olive & herb sourdough. I usually overlook their pastry section, but the last time I visited, I tried the coffee crumble cake. It was incredibly soft, buttery, and rich. I devoured it in no time.

Having formerly sampled their baked goods and baguette, we approached with some expectation, for those had proved most agreeable. Upon our arrival, Darcy and I were informed that the supply of pastries was nearly exhausted: a circumstance I bore with easy composure, as we intended only for coffee. Yet thereafter, I regret to say, the experience fell somewhat short. My cappuccino was deficient in froth and served with less warmth than one might wish, rendering it rather uninspiring. The interior, though neat, is so spare and restrained in its decoration as to verge upon the austere, and lacks that ease and comfort which invite one to linger. It is not, I think, among the more hospitable establishments we have encountered in Nashville. Though I would not hesitate to return for their baked offerings, I cannot suppose it would become a favored place for repose or refreshment.

They have a covered patio area looking out to Old Hickory lake and they also have some open air tables that is a dog friendly area.

You can get the pizzas with Regular Crust or Detroit Style. I like both but, I lean towards the Regular crust. All of the pizzas we have tried have been good, but I always get the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. It's a mild heat and it's very flavorful. You order at the Bar and they give you a number then bring the food to you when it's ready. Our food came out quickly. The staff were friendly and checked on us several times. It's a nice laid back place to grab a Beer, Pizza and some Wings.
