The 24 Best Restaurants In Nashville 2024

"Do you know what you’re doing a month from now? Us either. But the answer should be going for a life-changing lunch or walk-in dinner at Locust, an ever-changing and difficult-to-reserve spot in 12 South that serves Japanese, Irish, and British food. It’s run by a chef who used to lead the kitchen at Catbird Seat, so it’s no surprise that something as simple as a curry potato chip or a single slice of bread can make you emotional here. The exact menu on any given day is unknown, but here's our general advice: Order everything. There’ll probably be 10-11 dishes that are easy to say yes to, like heartbreakingly tender potato bread, meaty and creamy razor clams served open and glistening on a bed of pebble ice, or a cheeky nod to Nashville’s food currency, hot swordfish." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, carlo mantuano, ann walczak
