    Chicken & dressing, greens, broccoli & cheese.

    I tried Lil Cee's on a Sunday afternoon about 30 minutes before close. They had a pretty good selection to be closing in 30 minutes. I tried the beef tips, northern beans, sweet potatoes, and hot water corn bread. My boyfriend had the chicken & dressing, greens, broccoli & cheese, and hot water corn bread. Overall the food was okay. I've had better soul food in Nashville. The sweet potatoes were my favorite. My northern beans were a little undercooked and flavorless. So be sure to skip those. The staff was very nice and helpful.

    Boxed mash potatoes, bug on floor and still crawling, and not worth the money overall.

    BEST FISH SANDWICH IN NASHVILLE!!! Like no lie, I'm slick addicted! Wanted to try something…read moredifferent for lunch, and thank God I was not disappointed. This is a cash only spot, but they run the drive thru pretty seamless. The staff was super nice, and you can tell they take pride in creating an inviting environment, even if you're only able to go through drive thru. I had the Whiting Fish sandwich with a side of Fried Okra (a little too salty for me, but still pretty good). Finished my meal with a Chess Pie and it's absolutely AMAZING! Was in between meetings, so didn't stop to take any pics, but I implore everyone, don't walk, run (drive) down to Ed's and get you some great food!

    Ed's Fish is a Nashville institution in historic North Nashville. It's been around for many…read moreyears--in fact, it was a go-to spot for my husband and his frat brothers while they were in college. My husband spoke very highly of this place. He and his frat came here all the time and even knew the original owners, who were welcoming and provided good customer service. Now that it's been under new management for several years, I wanted to check it out for myself and see if it still had the same energy and vibe he described. I usually order the whiting sandwich with everything, and it never disappoints. The fish is always hot, well-breaded, and nicely seasoned. You can order it crispy or regular--just let them know at the beginning when placing your order. The portion sizes are generous. I typically get mine with onions, cheese, hot sauce, mustard, and pickles. If you want extras, there's a small up charge, and if you'd like other fixings, just ask--they're accommodating. I'm not a picky eater and like everything on my sandwich--I love all the flavors bursting at the seams and complementing one another. You pay at the window once you're in line. It's primarily a drive-thru setup, though you can walk in if you prefer. Typically, someone will take your order as you drive up. Lines are usually packed, especially on weekends, but in my opinion, they have great hours. Just be prepared to wait in your car for a bit--though they move things along efficiently and keep the drive-thru line moving. It's a true no-frills neighborhood spot in a community with deep roots, and I'm sure it brings back memories for many who attended college in the area or grew up nearby. It's also well-known enough that out-of-towners make a point to stop by for a sandwich or dinner. Pro tip: Check their hours and take a quick look at the menu ahead of time so you're ready to order when you pull up! So enjoy, my fellow fried fish lovers go ahead and place your order, I think you'll like it over there! And check out my two photos so you can see what I'm talking about.
