Best Modern Southern American Restaurants in Southeast Nashville

Amazing experience! Bottom mimosas were a plus! Our waiter was a amazingggg! I can’t remember his name but older guy with nice gray hair! Wish him the best on his endeavors!! Will be back’!!!!

Me and my girlfriend went here for valentines day and it was oh so good, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing, the service was amazing, for sure a 5 star place to go to in Franklin, it wasn’t to loud nor super quiet, I definitely recommend going if you want a southern style fancy restaurant to go to.

Thistle are Rye exceeded my expectations! Very classy inside and the outdoor patio area looked lovely (we went on Valentine’s Day, too cold, so we didn’t go outside). Service was impeccable and very attentive with 2 people checking on us often and the waiter packing up our leftovers! Food was great! My boyfriend loves smash burgers and he loved theirs! The whipped cheese appetizer is amazing!

I had the pleasure of dining at The Farmstead Nashville recently, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a cozy yet modern rustic vibe that perfectly complements the farm-to-table philosophy. You can really taste the care and dedication in every bite. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and they made sure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're a local or just visiting, I highly recommend The Farmstead for anyone who appreciates fresh, high-quality food with a sustainable edge. It’s a true standout in local dining and certainly a place I’ll be returning to again and again.

Great time with a big group. Made reservations, but caught them at a good time, so we didn’t really need them. They were so accommodating for the group of 11, and I will recommend this place in the future for anyone traveling to Nashville.
