    Stopped in to use an #offline (iykyk)

    This is a small place with live music. It is clean and we had excellent service. It has a wide menu but what we ordered was excellent! Chips and spinach dip, pesto pasta & the carbonara were delicious.

    Wings, I think lemon pepper and bourbon bbq but they definitely were too crunchy and needed more sauce/seasoning.

    Food was a little rough, the wings were too crunchy, and needed more sauce/seasoning.

    Nice cozy inviting eatery bar music nook. Sound is basic but filling and the stage is tiny with performers with great sound and talent to show. The food is just right and staff are good at customer needs . The bar offers wide range of top shelf options . The place feels open and easy to find in the midst of 2nd ave places.

    Chicken Tikka Sandwich

    Hidden gem alert!! We were out on broadway and wanted to grab something to eat before we left the area. We walked into a few surround bars, food looked lackluster and prices were high for what you would get. We were about to head back to get food closer to where we live, but happened to stumble upon this place. I can't BELIEVE we were able to find a spot like this in the area. Linus and Reuben went above and beyond to make us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. They had a menu that was full of the bar food favorites, but they also had items that were very unique, like their chicken tikka sandwich. We ordered a bunch of food - all great portion sizes, all cheaper than restaurants nearby (like the stillery) and all were amazing bites. Normally when you walk into a bar, on a street like broadway, you get what you get and there isn't a "need" for staff to pay too much attention to you. That was not the case here at all. We were taken care of, and anytime we are in the area, this is where we will be grabbing some bites!

    Incredible hidden gym. Not so hidden location-wise, but it's obvious people don't know about this place yet. Stopped in on Saturday evening to a quiet/almost-empty place (can be alarming given its location) but the food was AWESOME. Rueben and Linus gave great recommendation, and I was surprised at how good the southwest egg rolls were (had an Asian fusion flavor). One thing is for sure: get yourself the tikka sandwich. When word gets out this place is going to be packed.

    Okay, this place shocked us! We were just looking for a place that wasn't too busy. This place had many open seats. I think it's a hidden gem. It's a little off broadway and people don't take the time to walk down to it, but YOU should! We were shocked it's like an Indian fusion restaurant. You would never know it by the name. We got the butter chicken poutine with no cheese. It was so good and with cheesy goodness all over it I couldn't even imagine how good it would be. This place also had some good beer specials and the live music was great. Skip by some of those busy places on Broadway and give this a try!

    They made an exception for our 10lb Maltipoo since the covered porch was empty, which we greatly appreciated.

    Hidden Gem! Wonderfully Delectable food. Great Staff. Good location. But did I mention the food?! It is mouthwatering and flavorful?!! Our family spent a day walking around downtown Nashville, I found this restaurant on yelp. It's a little off the beaten path so your chances of getting a table are a little easier (or at-least not having a 2hr wait). Traveling with our dog, it can be a challenge to find great food. We stopped by just to see if there was a chance because I was really craving Indian food. The management quickly decided that we could sit on the side porch they have (it's covered) since no other customers were out there. My husband said the Tikka Masala Sandwich was the best sandwich he has ever had - so flavorful, so delicious. My son LOVED his Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. He also tried Hattie B's, Jasper's, Lilly's and Prince's restaurants for a little tour to see who has the best ... This restaurant is IT! Prince's may be the birth restaurant of the famous Nashville Hot Sandwich but this place mastered it! My daughter and I shared the butter chicken (not pictured cause we ate it fast ) and a huge piece of Naan bread. Delicious!!! Butter Chicken usually has no spice - this was more between a mild and medium spice but so good and flavorful, we didn't care. If we lived closer this would be a weekly spot for us. I definitely recommend it. Inside I could see a nice clean bar area and plenty of tables and booths for seating away from the bar. Plus, the porch area we were seated in.

    Let me tell you this pasta is heavy in my heart it was sooooo good I think it was the best thing I had the service was good, the live music was good and I for sure would return again!!!

    Late Night AMAZING food!
    Jessica B.

    Met the booking manager (Sam) & she told us about this hidden gem!! If you want food that's actually good downtown after 11pm this is the spot. You will be so happy. Order the butter chicken. FYI - Their hours are not accurate on here.

    Very clean, friendly, local music, quick service, amazing wings, kinda off the beaten path of broadway for a little less crazy. Would highly recommend!!

    Spacious and comfortable

    Great service! Talented singer was very good. Enjoyed a tasty salmon w/mashed potatoes and garlic broccoli entree that is a value for Nashville. Go grab a cool drink and some dinner and enjoy the tunes!

    We could not understand why this place was completely empty! We stopped in after a class at the Liquor Lab across the street for a quick bite before going to the bars. The food was delicious and the service was quick (especially since we were the only ones in there). The man performing in this place is a treat and such a kind soul as well!

    This place is really really good . The prices are fair for the amount of food you are served ! The employees are very nice and even the musician was very friendly !

    Not a fan. First off they have beer signs in the restaurant and only had 1 IPA. The ipa was good…read moreI'll give them that. The menu is limited it's very sport bar kind of food. I ordered the wrap, all the ingredients tasted fresh but the wrap tasted very much like a gas station wrap. The turkey in it was not good and tasted cheap and old. The fries on the other hand were pretty good. The Mac and cheese was also very creamy and good. Service was absolutely terrible. When I ordered an IPA I just asked her to get me whatever she recommended. Her response was "I don't know I hate IPAs" okay, can't you ask a bartender for dealers choice. Ridiculous. We didn't great our drink order until sitting for 30 mins. We didn't get our food order for almost an hour after sitting and instead of asking us what we wanted to order they just came by to take the menus. I had to say "can't we order food" which made them stop and take our order. Terrible, terrible service. I've had better food, I'd go elsewhere.

    Good food in an ideal location for pregame festivities…read more Stopped here to have an early dinner before Titans game. My friends and I sat outside and although it took awhile for our waitress to find us & get our food & drink orders I wouldn't fault them as it was packed prior to the game. I had the cheese curds as an app (large portions & very good) & the honey barbecue chicken tenders with fries. I wasn't a huge fan of the fries as they are thick and square cut which isn't my favorite style, but the chicken tenders were some of the best I have had. No stringy bits you often get at restaurants, just good fresh tasting chicken. Sauce was good as well. Would come back, the buffalo chicken chimichanga sounded really enticing

    Jonathan's Grille is a solid spot, especially for late-night food. The late-night menu is clutch…read morewhen you want something good and not just the usual limited options. We tried a little bit of everything, and the food was really good. We picked up my gf mom at the airport and most restaurants are closed or limited menu. This is place is such a clutch. I had the egg rolls were delicious and probably one of my favorites. The pizza rolls were also good, cheesy, and perfect for sharing. The salad was fresh and surprisingly great, my gf mom really enjoyed it. the smashed burger was really solid with a soft bun, good toppings, i had the smashed burger and bacon jam. Could use more bacon jam though. It came with fries the fries came out looking soggy but the waiter was 100% she saw it and took it back and it came out crispy . My gf enjoyed her brussels sprouts and pizza rolls. Everything came out looking good and tasted fresh. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, but it is definitely loud, so keep that in mind if you're wanting a quiet dinner. Overall, it's a great late-night spot with good food, good portions, and a lively vibe.

    I really wanted to like this place but unless you're really into sports bars, it's a pass for me…read more The food is good, they have a lot of choices of burgers, wings, flatbreads. Unfortunately, it was super loud sports bar. Good if you're into that but not really my vibes the food was decent and the service was good.

    Not sure what all these high falutin corn pones are crying about. Its a dive sportsbar. In madison…read more With CHEAP ass drinks. C'mon people. This is actually one of my main joints. They have outdoor volleyball, huge outdoor seating/patio area, with cornhole. It sometimes looks like the aftermath of a rush week frat party, but that just means people were raging the night before and you missed out. Amirite? They've got 2 pool tables, snack candy food dispenser, video poker, jukebox, AND several old school arcade machines. They had them before all the hipster barcades started too popping up too, talk about OG bar fun I tell you. They have a deadbeat DJ playing top 40s and decent hiphop on weekends, with a solid sound system and great acoustics for the venue because of its lodge-esq feel and open air wooded infastructure. The fact that it turns into a dance club atmosphere with bass booms, lasers lights, and low lighting is a nice breath of fresh air compared to the honkey skonk suet downtown. Nothing special, just a nice dance club dive at night. This atmosphere also attracts hoodwinks, so be warned. Theyre all honestly harmless as long as youre not acting like a complete doucet - or wearing a certain gang color (sarcasm?). For demographics, this bar is par for the course in its neck of the woods. I hate that they dont serve drinks in real glasses though, only plastic. Theyve got a wide variety of TVs, not the biggest, but they do the job. They also have poker on Wednesday nights. The food is pretty decent, they actually use a grill. The grilled chicken sandwich is actually curiously fantastic.

    What a total shithole. I went here once and that was all I needed. I'll never set foot in there…read moreagain. The food is awful, the customers and pure trash, and the bartenders are really good at putting their bodies on display to earn a few extra bucks. If you have any self respect, stay away.
