Hot chicken and a whole lot more
Nashville's food scene has exploded alongside the city's population boom, evolving from a meat-and-three town into a nationally recognized dining destination. Music City now features James Beard-nominated chefs, a booming brunch scene, and of course, the legendary Nashville hot chicken that launched a global trend.
Best times to dine: Happy hour runs 4-6pm. Broadway stays open late but the best restaurants are off the honky-tonk strip.
Beyond hot chicken, Nashville excels in Southern comfort food, creative New American cuisine, and an increasingly diverse international food scene. The Gulch and East Nashville neighborhoods have become restaurant hotbeds, while iconic spots like the Loveless Cafe and Prince's Hot Chicken keep traditions alive.
