Nashville TN.........

[Crazy4Branson]

I'm going to visit my late husband's sis in Nashville on the 15th for 2/3 weeks. I go there 4/5 times a year.

Does anyone have any suggestions for "locally owned" restaurants that we can try?
There used to be a place called TJ's that was wa-y-y downtown by a hospital. It had the best "soul food" anyone could want!!! It was an old house converted into a neighborhood restaurant...atmosphere......! Unmatched tables/chairs, oil cloths on the tables, all kinds of old photos on the walls of the owners & family, worn out linoleum on the floor....I'm sure you get the pic. The food was so-o-o good. "Down home" cookin'. No doors on the kitchen......Huge pots on the big stoves & big guys stirrin' the pots.
You walked in, got into the line, grabbed a plate & had it filled "school cafeteria style", got your own drink & mismatched table service.......We loved it! There were always a lot of medical personnel in there eating, too.

Cock Of The Walk is a great place to eat. It's on Music Valley Drive.

Thank you for your replies........
I have been to Cock/Walk several times; it's a chain, you know....also, been to Jack's BBQ, & the bluebird, several years ago. Is bluebird still open ?????

Used to go to "Unca' Buds" for fish, but they're closed, now....

Been to Loveless Cafe on hyw. 100 west of town, it's been there since the 40s/50s....& we will go there, again, this trip. Their biscuit maker has been interviewed on travel channel & food network. You can watch her work through a big window in the kitchen.... www.lovelesscafe.com

We'll do Broadway & see who's playing there. Have tix for Gr Ol Opry on Sat. 16th. Plan to check out Nashville Nightlife Theater & Nashville Palace to see who's there, if these places are still open.....S.i.l lives in Nashville, but does not get out & about to know what's goin' on in town......

Will check out pucketts....

I'm still open for more ideas......
