The 38 Best Restaurants in Nashville

"The top spot for Nashville chicken is a contentious one, but Bolton’s in East Nashville consistently rises to the top over and over again. It’s a no-frills situation here — don’t expect fancy art or ambiance lighting — but what you’re here for is a hot chicken with a spice seasoning that’s widely regarded as some of the hottest in town. The fried fish is also a can’t-miss here and gives the chicken a run for its money. —JGJ" - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Ellen Fort
