17 Classic Nashville Restaurants - Nashville - The Infatuation

"One of Music City’s oldest restaurants still serving the masses, Brown’s Diner opened in 1927 and has only had three owners since—nostalgia and Nashville flair power this place. One entrance leads to a dive bar complete with black vinyl stools and, of course, a tiny stage. The other takes you into a dining room with walls covered in all sorts of Nashville memorabilia, from family photos to framed silver records. Food-wise, Brown’s serves up a breakfast menu with all possible combinations of egg, cheese, and biscuit, as well as typical diner food. Burgers and patty melts are the best options here, the latter served on excellent marble rye. Stick around for some entertainment—Brown’s regularly hosts musicians, including a residency billed as “Killer Rock n’ Roll That Grabs You by the Hips." - bailey freeman, jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
