    My hubby and I stopped in for a quick bite and a few drinks before heading to a game on a Saturday afternoon. This place is always busy, and were told the wait would be about an hour and a half. Thankfully, my husband kept an eye on the bar area and managed to grab a seat as soon as one opened up. A second seat became available shortly after, so we were both able to settle in at the bar. Once seated, service was quick and friendly. Our drinks arrived promptly, and we were able to place our food order right away. We enjoyed chatting with other patrons while soaking in the cool breeze, great atmosphere, and delicious food and drinks. The drunken shrimp were absolutely outstanding -- definitely something I'll be ordering again on our next visit.

    Food: clam chowder, drunken shrimp for appetizers were excellent. Shrimp and grits were very good, but rather small portion for $19.95. Whale Fredo with side salad usual like everywhere. Cobb salad was nice portion and fully loaded. Service was very good by Tyler. Ambiance very relaxing by the lake al fresco. Definitely would go back, try something different.

    As a local, I've eaten at Moby Dicky's more times than I can count--and I've tried just about everything on the menu. Let me tell you: nothing is bad. Seriously. From the lobster bisque and drunken shrimp to the crab legs and catfish, every dish is fresh, flavorful, and consistently well-prepared. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with lake views that make the patio a perfect spot on a nice day. Service is always friendly and attentive, even when they're slammed (which they often are--it's that good). Yes, parking can be tight and there's usually a wait on weekends, but it's 100% worth it. If you're craving seafood in Sumner County, this is the spot. Moby Dicky's has earned its place as a local favorite--and it keeps earning it every time I go back.

    Their food was yummy and the vibe was nice! I would definitely come back again. It was a bit cold and they had shades down so I couldn't see the lake but during the summer I'm sure it would be a good place to hang out

    Hot Chicken Sliders with Pasta Salad
    Emily M.

    I came here back in May when visiting a friend. The meal was delicious and I am so happy I discovered it through her. I got the hot chicken sliders with fries and the pasta salad. The table also split the Chicago Style Oysters. The pasta salad has a ginger dressing on it, which makes it really unique. Everything was incredible and I had been dreaming about Moby Dicky's since we left. A few weeks ago, I had another trip to Nashville planned with my brother and knew we had to stop there on our drive in. We got there around 6:20 pm and there was already a 50 minute wait. I told him that it would be worth it. We only waited about 25 minutes and were served quickly. I had to stay loyal to the hot chicken sliders, fries, and pasta salad. My brother and I split the egg rolls, which were gone in a matter of minutes. I didn't have anything to drink since I was driving but I made sure my brother tried a Bushwacker. He really liked it. I had a tropical blue drink when I visited in May and liked it. They had their holiday drink menu still up and those festive drinks looked pretty good too. Our service was great and Moby Dicky's is a very friendly atmosphere. I hope to return next time I am in Nashville!

    First saw Moby Dicky's two years ago on my way to the Highland games at Sanders ferry Park. They had a sign out front that said mahi tacos, which I adore. Took two years for me to get there, but finally went this past weekend. I absolutely LOVE the vibe of this place. It has a beach vibe, being ON the lake with the open back to the patio and Adirondack chairs facing out at the water. With the garage doors open to the patio it can be muggy and warm. But that's part of the beachy vibe. They totally play my kind of late 60s to early 80s music. The bar chairs look wide and comfy, although I didn't sit on one. We ordered the calamari, the Parmesan Panko, flounder and, two tacos, one grilled shrimp and one fried grouper. Having grown up relatively close to the beach I was used to fresh seafood, which is naturally lacking in landlocked Tennessee, and so, can any seafood REALLY be fresh here? That being said, I wasn't disappointed and I HAD noticed a post on their Facebook hiring a cook. But, the shrimp were over cooked and the calamari very small and dry. Hub loved his flounder. It was nicely cooked and the fried grouper was great. The staff was attentive and friendly. I'd hoped for a mojito but they had no mint or mint syrup. (I may just start carrying mint oil/extract as many places don't have mint). Vibe /atmosphere 9 Staff 8 Food 7 I WILL go back-probably soon, as I wanted to just hang out there all day and I will hope that the additional kitchen hire will improve the seafood.

    I went here a few days ago and the sea food was delicious! it tasted fresh this place is better then Red Lobster! The restaurant its self was nice and our server was ok I wish she would check the table a little more often for drink refills but other than that the experience was great!

    Clam chowder
    Amber B.

    We will be repeat customers! Bartender was so great. The espresso martini hit the spot today. My love had the bloody...while I'm not a fan of zingzang (pretty much industry standard in these parts) & a WI bloody snob; they set themselves apart and used a really tasty celery salt/old bay mix on the rim. And they garnished which doesn't happen often. Points for that! The food was so awesome. We had: Chicago style oysters topped with fresh horseradish YUM The perfect bowl of clam chowder DELICIOUS Blackened Grouper Sandwich FRESH n TASTY And the yacht rock playlist.

    Hush puppies
    Rachel G.

    What a beautiful hidden spot in Hendersonville. The wait was longer than I wanted, so I parked at the bar. I ordered the hush puppies- they were fine. A bit on the sweet side. Grilled romaine was good, but a bit on the small side. The chowder was delicious. I would definitely go back and try many different things!

    Edamame! So good!

    Is smoking allowed indoors?

    NOPE and it was pleasant

    Can you make a reservation?

    No, because volume of patroons makes It impossible. But there is a beautiful patio you can view the lake from. Several of my friends say it's worth waiting for a table!

    Any gf options? Thanks!

    Yes there are, just mention you gluten free diet and they can steer you in the right direction. My wife is also gluten free and they have been able to accommodate her as needed.

    What time is Happy Hour?

About 20 minutes for 2 people. They do have a cool text system so you know how long you've been waiting and where you are in the queue. Appreciated that. It was pretty warm out, and they had the big windows open, but there was no breeze, and we were inside in a corner. Our server came about 10 minutes after we were seated. He was very nice, but never refilled my empty water glass, and my hubby had to ask twice to get a 2nd beer. I ordered chicken tenders with a side of broccoli. I got fries. Fine, the universe wanted me to have more carbs. The food was ok. I think the food is a little more consistent at the Hendersonville location, but its like a cave in there, and I am not a bat. I don't think this is a great place to drive to for lunch. It would be pretty convenient if you're hungry and out on the lake. They have a fairly good sized courtesy dock and the boaters seemed pretty skilled at coming and going.

My family and I have been Mug Club members for over three years across four different locations, and we've visited every TailGate taproom except one. This opinion isn't based on one bad experience, it's a pattern we've seen across the company. As Mug Club members, we've watched the value of the program decline. They advertise 20 oz pours, yet the pours often seem noticeably short. Members were invited to a Mug Club appreciation party that advertised free beer, pizza, and a free t-shirt, only to find the free beer was limited and the "free" shirts cost $20+. On an earlier visit this year, happy hour for mug clubbers was still being advertised until 5pm, but after ordering four more beers we were told happy hour had actually been changed to end at 4 p.m. instead of 5 p.m. without any formal notice, communication to mug clubbers, nothing. We weren't informed until after we were charged full price for not 1, not 2, but 4 beers. Taken together, these experiences leave customers feeling misled rather than appreciated. The most disappointing part is the attitude toward loyal customers. Hearing "you'll be back because you're Mug Clubbers" says a lot about how ownership views the people who have supported the business for years. Loyalty feels expected rather than valued. I also have concerns about how employees are treated. TailGate advertises health insurance, yet many non-management employees reportedly aren't scheduled enough hours to qualify for those benefits. It appears that Wes (the owner) is more focused on controlling criticism and the overall narrative of the company than addressing the issues that generate it, leaving employees/managers to deal with the fallout. TailGate built its reputation on great beer, great staff, and a loyal customer base. The employees continue to deliver on that. Unfortunately, ownership's bait-and-switch approach and apparent disconnect from both customers and staff are hurting a brand that many of us genuinely want to support.
