Refined Southern cuisine with locally sourced ingredients
"Arriving at twilight feels special at this long-running spot, which despite tourist traffic still delivers: beautifully prepared seafood in seasoned broths, well-seared steaks, and vegetables and herbs often grown in the restaurant’s own garden. Start with pimento cheese and country ham or Ray England’s chicken liver mousse, and don’t miss the standout pastry program and a cornbread that’s genuinely memorable." - Stephanie Burt
"When it opened in Charleston in 2010, Husk’s commitment to solely Southern-grown ingredients reframed Southern cuisine—making grits, deviled eggs, and heirloom produce feel as essential as fine-dining pasta—and helped catalyze national attention on Charleston’s food scene even after Sean Brock’s departure in 2018." - Eater Staff
"An off-shoot of the Charleston, South Carolina original Husk, this Nashville incarnation is housed in a historic mansion and has a stellar vibe. James Beard award-winning executive chef Sean Brock does not play when it comes to flavor and authentic ingredients. Husk is the place for expertly executed and elevated farm-to-table southern cuisine. The menu changes daily so be sure to stay up on what's cooking by visiting their menu on Husk's website." - ST8MNT
"You forgot the all-important three-month anniversary this morning. Oops. Here’s how you’re going to recover: brunch at Husk. Located in a historic Rutledge Hill mansion, the sunny space feels just as special during the day as it does at night. Order the pimento cheese, buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy, and cornmeal johnny cakes while you ease your way into things with a Strange Brew—its mix of espresso liqueur and amaro makes it one of our favorite renditions of the espresso martini. The cozy little garden out back is perfect for a really short stroll, where you can discuss what your relationship might look like in three more months." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
"Husk is a great place to introduce visitors to Southern ingredients. They’re serious about sourcing—there’s a list of the purveyors and farms they use right when you walk in—but some things are also grown right on the property itself. It all makes for delicious brunch plates like White Lily biscuits with sausage gravy, hummingbird cake with smoked cream cheese, and cornmeal fried catfish with cole slaw. Husk is reliably consistent and situated in a really cool historic mansion in Rutledge Hill. Plus, on a beautiful Nashville day, the patio out back is as charming as ever for an intimate brunch." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
