Where to eat in Nashville?

[Anonymous]

A friend and I are meeting for a girls' weekend in Nashville in a few weeks. I'd love some recommendations for fantastic restaurants--mid-priced places would be great!

Bump....not the OP but we are headed there in January for a conference and would also love some suggestions.
Thanks!

Midtown Cafe is pretty good, maybe slightly higher than mid-priced but not much.
Sole Mio is good for Italian.
Tin Angel is decent, as is Rosepepper Cantina.

Cafe Margot - nicer, super delicious
Jack's BBQ - to die for, my husband's favorite BBQ ever
Family Wash - amazing shepherd's pie, cool vibe
Pancake Pantry - long line, but it's an institution
Germantown Cafe - nicer, great food
Bistro 123 - nicer, good food
Calypso Cafe - casual, perfect for a quick bite
Loveless Cafe - a bit of a drive outside Nashville
Flying Saucer - lots of beers on tap
Noshville - casual

Oh man, Nashville has such good food... I'm so jealous!

Pancake pantry is a great spot. But be prepared to wait in line.

Our best meal was at monells. It's a family style spot with amaaaazeballs food.

A former Nashvillian here - skip Pancake Pantry. Overrated and an insane wait. Have brunch at Tin Angel or Noshville instead. Bread & Company is great for a quick sandwich. And as another poster recommended, Calypso Cafe is great - best chicken.

There is a great Turkish restaurant called Anatolia in a strip mall. We used to go a few times every month.

NP here. I looked at the websites for both Tin Angel and Noshville, and they look great, but not particularly local. I know the OP was asking for recommendations for good food, but if I can hijack the thread, I'm wondering if you could give some recommendations for great food that's very Nashville. Or perhaps just very Southern?

There's the Loveless Cafe, which is "down home," but really what's not local about Tin Angel? What do you mean by "local?"
