Nashville Restaurant Tips by travelteacher

Restaurant Name: Pancake Pantry

Pancake Pantry is the Original Pancake House (for those of you familiar with the ones in Southern California/Nevada) of Tennessee! Breakfast here is reasonably priced, big portions, and EVERYONE has to wait in line--including those famous Music City stars.

Favorite Dish: Sourdough Pancakes--hard to describe, but definitely worth the 20 minutes we had to stand in line!

Restaurant Name: The Melting Pot

Although The Melting Pot is a Chain, this is the best one I have visited. (The restaurant did just undergo extensive remodeling, and I haven't seen the reveal yet.) They have an extensive wine list that isn't too outrageously priced.

Favorite Dish: I have tried all of the cheese fondues, and the fiesta is the best. They prepare the fondure at your table so you are able to choose what you want/don't want in it. Since I am vegetarian, I have never had any of the entrees.

Restaurant Name: Blackstone Restaurant & Brewery

The restaurant is cool, and has windows so you can look at the brewing process. The food is ok, and when the restaurant or bar starts to get full, the service slows down, but the beer is worth it.

They also have their own parking lot!

Favorite Dish: Beer:
I like the pilsner a lot; and although I am not usually a fan of dark beers, the porter and stout are pretty good!
