Restaurants & Food across the Nashville metro
Inclusive and diverse-owned restaurants & food businesses across the Nashville metro, not just the city itself.
Nashville kitchens go well past hot chicken and the meat-and-three, with Kurdish, Ethiopian, Mexican, Vietnamese and vegan cooking spread from Nolensville Pike to East Nashville and Germantown. The listings mix dining rooms, counters, trucks and caterers. Small rooms fill on weekends and many close Sunday or Monday, so check the day before you drive in.

EssayMaybe "Authentic" Is a Terrible Word
We call restaurants authentic all the time. Authentic to whom? What the word really measures, and better ways to describe food you love.

Read moreRestaurants & Food in Nashville: questions people ask
How many restaurants are listed across the Nashville metro?
78 right now, in Nashville. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
Do restaurants in Nashville take reservations?
Many do, and plenty are walk-in only. Some kitchens here are takeout, catering or food-truck operations with no dining room, so check how each one takes orders before you go.
How can I ask about allergies or dietary needs?
Call ahead rather than asking at the table, and ask how the kitchen handles cross-contact, not just whether a dish contains an ingredient. Small kitchens are often very accommodating when they know in advance.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a restaurant that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a restaurant we're missing?
Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
