This place put Nashville in my heart! Not only was the music amazing and the waitress such a great person who was quick with drinks and food. The food was to die for! 10 years ago, we went to Nashville and stopped at this bar and we have the giant for patty burger, and we have been looking for ever since we could not remember the name of the bar and the one behold we will be able to find them on Yelp and figure out what they were the correct ones. 10/10 we will be back. read more

We made reservations, but we're not told the table would be on the 2nd floor (4 1/2 flights of stairs) and no elevator option. Two of our party have restricted mobility, which made both entering and exiting the restaurant a struggle. The food was expensive, and not well prepared. The spicy sausage pizza was burnt on the edges, and yet some of the sausage was uncooked. The Mac N Cheese appears to have been warmed for hours. I can't recommend this place. It was unfortunately obvious why a restaurant in a prime location in Nashville was mostly empty. read more

It was off Broadway and quiet! We ordered the Nashville hot chicken tenders and they came with crinkle cut fries, and Texas toast. The tenders were lightly breaded and perfectly cooked. Definitely worth a visit. read more

This little spot on 2nd Ave N is an iconic Nashville spot. They also have a location over in midtown. 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. read more

After about 15 trips to Nashville, my wife and I have developed a routine. Get to town. Drop off the bags. Head to The Stillery. It's usually our first dinner stop every single trip. 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. read more

We had reservations for a large group but when we got there, there wasn't a table ready and we had to wait about 20 minutes. That was disappointing and not the best first impression. After being seated it took a while for a server to even come around, so also not the best sign. Luckily, once we did get a couple of servers, they were super wonderful and did an excellent job moving forward!! I ordered a burger on a gluten free bun (which made me so happy that they had one!!) and the burger was absolutely delicious!! The side salad with white vinaigrette was also sooo yummy! I ended up eating everything and was extremely pleased by the end of it all! We were seated upstairs and there was a gentleman playing live music, which was so lovely to have while eating dinner! I would definitely come back again for the food and ambiance! My only note would be to ensure a table is ready when someone places a reservation well in advance. read more

Amazing!! Can't go wrong with their hot chicken Mac and cheese. one of my families absolute favorite dishes in all of Nashville.

We unfortunately got here late about 50mins before closing so our visit felt rushed. Our server was kind & quick though. My dad ordered a Long Island and it was soooo gross, the lime juice was bottled and tasted so bad so he ordered beer instead. The rest of the food was decent, i did love the Caesar salad a lil more than everything else. Food a lil pricey but hey, you're right in the heart of Nashville so i guess it's fair. 6/10 overall on the food Ps: the bathroom stank sooo bad like cat piss :/ read more

I wanted to give a great review. Parked cheap. Nice drink order. Burger was tasteless. Soundman was so rude. Won't be back.

We ordered the Meatza pizza and macaroni and cheese. So good! In fact, it was so good we came back the. Ext day and ordered the exact same thing. That crust! Delicious.

Had a really good time here at The Stillery. We ended up eating on the first floor where there was no live music since the line was shorter. There were plenty of tables and a bar section as well. The food came out pretty quickly despite it being around prime dinner time. The mac and cheese was fantastic and very rich. It had charred spots that gave certain bites a satisfying crunch, which blended nicely with the rest of the bowl. The pesto tomato pizza was much bigger than I expected. The crust was nicely done with just the right amount of char on the bottom. The pesto and tomato combination was fantastic. read more

We all had something different to eat and everyone enjoyed their meal. As the night went on the place filled up, so that tells you this is a good place. Its just off Broadway so easy to get to.

Yum! Stopped in here for dinner on a Wednesday night. The service was great, the food & drinks were delicious. I have been many places around Broadway to grab food and this one was my favorite. We had the pretzel bites for an appetizer and the Mac and cheese with bbq chicken. This was some of the best Mac and cheese I've ever had. Next time I'm in town I will be stopping in again. read more

The Stillery absolutely blew me away. Some of the best pizza crust I've ever had...perfectly crunchy on the outside while still soft and chewy on the inside. We ordered the Aloha pizza, and it came with this incredible hot honey sauce. Their pizzas are perfect size for two people. Our waiter was kind and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. There was plenty of seating, and we were seated right away. We also ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer, and they were really good. This is seriously a top five pizza place of all time for me and my parents agreed! If you're a pizza lover, this spot is a must. read more

Great food, friendly service and conveniently located off Broadway! My group stopped in on a Tuesday night and were promptly seated as the place was not too busy. They have high and low top tables, bar seating and outdoor seating. We enjoyed the Cowboy Charcuterie which came with kielbasa and a jalapeno cheddar sausage, pickles, hunks of smoked cheddar and a half sleeve of saltine crackers. So simple but so good! I also ordered the Mac and cheese with a hot chicken topper. The Mac and cheese was so rich and flavorful and the chicken was perfectly crispy! Our server was also super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our visit. read more

The service was friendly but I felt bad for the servers having to run up & down the stairs plus they were short staffed and really needed to hire more servers so the few workers they did have looked exhausted and overworked. Hire some of these college kids hanging around! The food was good. The chicken biscuit was big chicken tenders on a biscuit with gravy and had to be eaten with a fork so not exactly what my husband expected. The best part was the Blueberry Crush Cocktail! Delicious with chunks of blueberry! We watched the LSU game here and it was fun! Great place to grab a beer! Fried pickles were plentiful & crunchy! I deducted a star because this place could use a deep cleaning! Yes, I recommend this place read more

Great location. Small menu but everything sounded so good hard to pick. Seating on 2 levels. Enjoyed our dinner very local key spot casual dress. Food came out quick fresh and hot.

My husband had the Hot chicken/mac/cheese WOW thatvwas delicious and enough for 3 people to share. Glad we walked we had to work off the food. Great music. Would definitely recommend.

The southern style food was delicious, particularly the catfish. Atmosphere was cozy. Cocktails were solid.

Came in for a quick dinner our last night in Nashville and it was cozy and delicious! The menu is primarily bar/comfort food which is perfect for a casual dinner. I went with the hot chicken sandwich actually ordered without the hot (alas, my reflux can't handle spicy these days and they were very kind to accommodate) and a side of fries. The sandwich was quite big and the chicken was perfectly fried and juicy. Crinkle fries tend to rank lower on my hierarchy of fry types but they defy expectations as theirs are perfectly salted and crunchy. My husband had the mac and cheese topped with fried chicken and it was very rich and filling but very good. The ultimate in comfort food! Space is rustic and charming (as is the vibe in most of Nashville) and they specialize in moonshine and craft cocktails for beverages (the name is "Stillery" after all!). Our waiter was also really great. I wish I was better at remembering names because he's worth shouting out. But to the hockey player waiter working on a Sunday night, high five, you were awesome! Friendly staff, good food, and a convenient location in downtown Nashville. Can't go wrong! read more

We were looking for a good dinner in Nashville and decided on The Stillery based on the positive reviews. We made a reservation on Open Table and it was not too busy when we came in. We sat on the second floor which had some live music. We started with drinks including an Old Fashioned, which were pretty good. We went with chicken strips and mac n cheese. We went Nashville hot which in retrospect was too hot. They offer a house hot which is more mild. The food overall was fine. It reminded me a bit of Raising Cane's, but a little better. Service was good and attentive. read more

We had a fantastic time at The Stillery. We were seated quickly & had our orders taken, and our food came out fast as well. This was during peak hours on Saturday evening - we were so impressed. We ordered two items, the mac and cheese and the Tomato and Pesto Pizza. The mac and cheese was out of this world. Gooey on the inside and crispy on top. The pizza was also fantastic. Crispy crust, flavorful toppings and just the right balance between the tomatoes and pesto. Cannot recommend this spot enough if you are in the area. read more

Landed in Nashville and we were starving. Found this sandwich spot near our hotel and decided to give it a go. Service was friendly and quick. I got a pesto chicken sandwich and it was very good. The only thing I could recommend is slightly less pesto as the pesto was very raw garlicky (great but in moderation). The fries were perfectly cooked and the drinks were good. I recommend for a quick lunch! read more

The Stillery - Mac n' Cheese Topped with Hot Chicken - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Located on the historic 2nd Avenue right off Broadway and a block from the Riverfront, we enjoyed a 3:30 pm dinner in The Stillery. Walking inside, I noticed the "People Love us on Yelp" sticker. It was Yelp that led us here with the highly rated reviews. When it came to ordering there were plenty of choices. Our server Brandon suggested ordering their personal pizza if I was hungry. I was leaning towards the burgers. He stated that the burgers are two smashed patties. Kind of like Smash Burger. I opted for the Sonoran Burger. It incorporates roasted jalapenos, caramelized onions, bacon, pepper jack cheese, and roasted garlic aioli. It includes crispy fries. Before tax and tips, it costs $20. Because we had been escaping from the Nashville humidity by drinking Coke beverages in the Assembly Food Hall prior to eating here and that we were going to drink alcohol in the Embassy Suites Manager's Reception afterwards, we complimented the food with a glass of water. Brandon was on top of the refills. During our dining experience here from 3:27 to 4:31 pm, I practiced mindfulness which is focusing on the present. When I looked out the window my eyes took in a busy patio fronting a historic streetscape. Looking toward the right I saw Acme Feed & Seed and part of the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Looking above my eyes took in the warehouse ceiling. Listening, in the backdrop of our conversation; my ears heard classic rock tunes including "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," "Best of My Love," and "Come and Get Your Love" amongst others. In similar style to a couple of other Nashville establishments, I heard rock & roll instead of country. Here, the music came from the radio instead of from a live stage performance. This was a comfortable restaurant to dine in. I felt my New Balances on the wooden floor and my buttocks on the cushioned seat. The scent was neutral. When the Sonoran Burger arrived, I tasted an absolutely delicious juicy burger with good crispy fries. I rate The Stillery Four Stars. My Brother and Dad told me that it was a good choice to eat here. read more

The Stillery - Pepperoni pizza and chicken strips with both sauces - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

If you're looking for good food and great music, The Stillery is your place. This is just one of their two Nashville locations. We sat upstairs at the bar, and our bartender was very friendly and attentive. The live music was great and really added to the lively atmosphere. We started with the hot honey wings. They were a bit too sweet for my taste, but still good. For our mains, we ordered the mac & cheese with hot chicken and the Nashville hot chicken fingers with fries. The mild buffalo chicken on the mac & cheese was great, and the dish itself was very creamy--though I wish it had a little more flavor overall. I thought I could handle spicy food until I tried the chicken fingers. Their Nashville hot chicken fingers were some of the hottest chicken I've ever had. We could barely finish them because our mouths were on fire. Next time, I definitely want to try one of their pizzas. Several people around us ordered them, and they looked absolutely delicious. read more
