    We order from this location often, and it's usually great, but this is disgusting. Ordered the full rack of ribs and it came looking like this, with just two big bones, half fat and half meat that had fallen off the two bones. Was not edible.

    Ruby Tuesday. Such a blast from my past! It's a franchise. The only Ruby Tuesday that I had ever been to before this visit was at the Mall of America years ago. I loved it so much. I returned to MOA earlier this year and it was gone. Noooo! In Nashville, I saw two of these restaurants. This one was the second-closest one from where I was staying. It was across from the Starbucks cafe that became my go-to beverage place, and a Dollar Tree that I enjoyed frequenting. I parked smack in the middle of all three businesses, under a tree. I walked into the eatery. For those who demand being greeted immediately upon entering an eatery, you will likely give this place a poor rating for service. I am probably far too patient than I should be. I stood there waiting for someone to greet me for a good eight minutes. Finally, a man came over and apologized. They were short-staffed. I could tell. All servers were walking quickly. It was a Saturday afternoon. It was an easygoing day for me. I had all the time in the world. Ah, how I miss being on vacation! He took my name down and said that the wait would be between five to ten minutes. I sat on a comfy bench between the two sets of main doors. For those who remember Ponderosa (I never went to one in Canada, but did on a road trip through New York state a few years back, heading back home), Ruby Tuesday is similar. It has a salad bar. You add that to your meal and you can load up your plate as much as you'd like. A nice woman fetched me and eventually led me to my booth. She would end up being my server. I immediately hit the salad bar after letting her know that I'd be getting the endless garden (salad) bar with a drink for $5. The salad bar was great. There were lots of veggies and some proteins (cooked egg and ham). One boy loaded his plate up with a few leafy greens and a mountain of ham, which made me smile. I loved my plate of salad, especially the beets. I got a Diet Coke as my drink. My server was attentive refilling it. I ordered the Texas duster dry ribs (half a rack) and sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I was hungry. A combination of ribs and steak intrigued me and my tastebuds. It didn't take long for my food to arrive. I was happy looking at everything. The Texas duster dry ribs were delicious. They were so tender and had the best dry rub that I have had on ribs in a long time. My sirloin was done medium-well. Yum! It was nicely seasoned and cooked as indicated. I loved it. I found the mashed potatoes comforting. The broccoli was perfectly done. Not hard. Not mushy. Just right. I miss this entree. I'm salivating. I want it for dinner now! Although I came here a day before my birthday, I celebrated early by getting the chocolate lava cake. It also didn't take all that long to come to me. The cake was moist. Sadly, the volcano of chocolate was dormant and there was no lava. I don't know if it's because Nashville was super hot that lava doesn't exist or the place simply didn't do it right with this lava cake. It still tasted good. I loved the vanilla ice cream with the crunchy chocolate bits on top of my cake. Delish! I paid with a credit card at my table. I tipped and tapped. It was a smooth transaction. Pack your patience coming here on weekends. I had a great meal and experience once I got a server. (315)

    Grilled Chicken Carbonara

    I've been to this location several times. Each visit is always on a Saturday and they're always few people. There's always the one server being the hostess and waiting in the entire restaurant. (Which obviously isn't an issue since it's so dead) Grilled chicken carbonara was delicious. Salmon salad bowl good. It's a little spicy. The best part of the salad bar is the croutons. I love Ruby Tuesday's salad bar. Some of the lettuce was brown. Make sure you stick with the arugula. It always seems to be the most fresh. A few of the ingredients probably shouldn't be in the bar ask they're a little past "expiration". Some of the ingredients just are not as fresh as they should be. I was pretty pissed about the coconut shrimp appetizer. $12.99 and you get 5 pieces. FIVE! It wasn't specific in the menu and I probably should have asked. On top of that, they where pretty mushy and not very tasty.

    The was good besides one thing. It did not have enough meat on them. I ordered 2 quesadillas one with chicken and one with ribeye. Half on each quesadilla had like one maybe two pieces of meat.. Called to complain but there is no answer. I just left there and it wasn't busy. The service was okay slow but the bartender was polite. The restaurant was clean.

    Due to illness I have been in and out of the hospital for the last several months. Friday, May 3rd was my first time out with friends since before Christmas. I am 70 yrs of age and was with two other senior ladies. We had made special plans to go to Ruby Tuesday on Murfreesboro Pike in the Antioch area, Nashville TN 37217. Two of us arrived and I explained to the lady that seated us, there would be another handicapped senior joining us. She was pleasant, always has been. The server plopped 3 waters on the table and walked away. There was no greeting, no name, just a bored look on his face. We wanted to go ahead and order fish and chips for the three of us knowing the service from the kitchen is usually slow. I'mWe needed to be ready for our handicapped bus to pick us up. The guy who dropped off the waters was passing by and I asked him to please let our server know we needed to order. "I AM YOUR SERVER!", he responded shrilly. Then he walked on and made extreme efforts to let me know he was ignoring our table. I stood up and waved at him and he kept seating and getting drinks, orders, and delivering food. We were the first customers seated in his section and others after us were now eating and drinking. Finally we decided we would get our fish and chips to go. I waited at the hostess post and when the young man passed I asked him to put in three separate orders for fish and chips to go. He informed me that I would have to go to the bar. I asked to see the manager. A woman informed me she was the manager. She did not want to hear anything and huffed and rolled her eyes. There was not a cordial bone in the manager and no front of the house training. Her responses to everything I said were actually REACTIONS and combative. I was working diligently to not sink to her level. Finally she said she would cook our food in record time. I turned to sit on my walker and my friend came up to check on me. Our to go fish and chips were finally ready and we had 15 minutes before the handicapped bus arrived. I was speaking to my friend and I mentioned how disappointing our experience was turning out to be. I said that I felt I had been discriminated against because of my age and handicap. The manager? (later I found out her name is Victoria) screeches, " I WILL HAVE YOU REMOVED. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO COME IN HERE AND MAKE TROUBLE ". I am 4ft 10in and tiny. Since I am ill my clothes hang on me and at 70 this mannerless woman is threatening to have me removed. Wow! I told her to keep the food and to know that I would report the experience to the GM JEFF and she replied that she didn't care who I contacted. And I understood at that moment that she really did not care. Then she said, "If you were used to going to sit down restaurants you would know that you have to wait for everyone to be seated to get service, including greetings. This rude woman was insulting me as bullies do. Never was there a kind word or any empathy coming from this Ruby Tuesday representative. We went back to the table and drank our water. We found our bus in the parking lot and left. My heart ached for my friends and myself for the lack of respect. We had been PROFILED. We were looked at as three old women and no tips. How wrong the profile turned out to be. We are three older ladies with an understanding that even if the service is not great, we TIP 20% to 25%. This is a pact between friends because we've waited tables and managed restaurants. This used to be my favorite place. I've not been in the past 14 months. I wish I had never returned. Thank you for listening. I've cried often this weekend but now I feel better. Deb Pardue P.S. Check out the BBB for more reviews.

This time, we switched things up and hit it for lunch instead. Good call. We grabbed seats at the bar, where Todd was holding down the fort. The guy was outstanding. Drinks never sat empty, food came out smoothly, and he somehow managed to be attentive without hovering over us every five minutes asking if everything was okay. My wife started with the Nashville Margue, which goes down way too easy for something packing moonshine. Light, refreshing, and carrying enough kick to remind you you're in Tennessee. Then Todd introduced us to a Bloody Mary made with a new pickle-infused vodka. Now, that sounds like one of those ideas that should either be amazing or a complete disaster. Turns out it's amazing. My wife loved it so much she's already talking about coming back tomorrow for another one. For food, we started with the pretzels and beer cheese. Simple. Warm. Soft. Salty. Exactly what you want while settling into a Nashville afternoon. Nothing fancy, just done right. Then I went all in on the mac and cheese topped with Nashville hot chicken. Yee Haw. Creamy mac and cheese. Crispy chicken. That signature Nashville heat. Comfort food with a little attitude. Just the way it should be. The best thing about The Stillery is that it knows exactly what it is. Good food. Good drinks. Good people. No gimmicks. No trying too hard. Just a fun place to sit down, relax, and enjoy yourself. Fifteen trips to Nashville (together) and it's still one of our first stops. That's probably the strongest review I can give. Five stars.

The spot is in an old building in the middle of the entertainment district (Lower Broad area). It has a small outside seating area, for when it is not a sauna, Inside there is a nice sized bar, if you are just seeking a drink. They are known for their mac & cheese, which I have never tried in all of the times I have been to the Stillery. Very creamy, cheesy mac & cheese. The Nashville hot chicken has a nice spice to it. A bit mild for the serious hot chicken fans, but the flavor is there. The chicken tenders are fairly standard. And the crinkle fries are mid. I enjoyed both of the drinks. At $14.50, they are at least $1.50 less than the standard Broadway cocktails in the star bars, so iti s a less expensive option to get a drink. I don't think they ever have live music, unlike some others here, so you are going for the food, not the noise. Service was great, as always. The staff is always prompt and knows their menu. It is more bar food and the menu is limited, but what they do, they do well.

Once we were seated we had the pleasure of Nichelle, a wonderful waitress. She was on top of everything we needed or wanted and we had very little wait time for her return. Great service!

She even went out of her way to get me a drink that had fallen off the menu a few weeks prior, a delightful cucumber spritz. The ambiance is awesome. As others have said, music isn't too loud, just pleasant in the background, so it would be ideal for having a conversation. The space is open, bright, light-filled, and stylish. Parking is in a private lot behind the restaurant and they validate parking for up to two and a half hours. I wish I could rave the same way about the food. While the cocktails were refreshing and they had a cocktail for every palate, my steak and eggs was bland. It came out a little closer to rare than medium, but I can live with that. But I am not sure I detected a speck of salt or pepper. The steak was at least tender and the sunny side up eggs were cooked appropriately. The potatoes were dry. And I did have the wagyu meatball appetizer. It's a large portion, so easily shared amongst two or three people. Cheesy and saucy with a little spice. The focaccia could've been toasted a little more. I considered the short rib hash, but my server told me it could be salty and hit or miss (I appreciate her honesty and she 100 percent should be praised for it). I came during brunch (even on a weekday). They also serve French toast, desserts, oysters, burrata, potstickers and tuna tartare, salads, burgers and other sandwiches. If you come for lunch or dinner, you can also get grilled salmon, blackened redfish, shrimp and grits, pastas (cajun chicken, pappardelle bolognese, tortellini) as well as various cuts of steak. It's conveniently located right across from the Frist Museum and is part of the Union Station Hotel. I would try this place again for dinner, but would skip the brunch. And again, Savanna was top tier! She deserves all the flowers!
