The Goat Germantown

Delicious Birria Tacos and Great Happy Hour The Goat in Germantown is a must visit! The birria tacos were absolutely amazing and perfectly cooked. I’d skip the smash burger next time. Be sure to go for happy hour for discounted drinks and a lively atmosphere. Great spot for a casual night out with friends or a fun date.

Such a great meal and time here! Emily did a fabulous job of being attentive, even though she was incredibly busy. The food was amazing, and I can't wait to come back!

Emily was an absolute gem! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel so welcome with her warm and friendly energy. Not only was she incredibly attentive and on point with her service, but she also had us laughing the entire time with her great sense of humor. She made excellent recommendations, and every dish she suggested was a hit! It’s rare to find a server who can balance efficiency with such a fun and personable approach, but Emily did it flawlessly. She truly elevated our dining experience, and we can’t wait to come back and have her as our server again. Five stars all the way!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my recent experience at The GOAT Germantown! From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for, especially when it came to accommodating my food allergy. The staff took my concerns seriously, and the attention to detail was remarkable. The manager personally came to my table to ensure I felt comfortable and walked me through the menu options, even offering suggestions for dishes that could be customized. It was clear that they truly understood the importance of allergy-friendly dining and took every measure to ensure my safety without compromising on flavor. The food was absolutely divine—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The care and thoughtfulness extended by the team made my meal all the more enjoyable. A special shoutout to the manager(s), whose kindness and professionalism made this dining experience truly unforgettable. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcome and taken care of. It’s rare to find such exceptional service, and I am so grateful for their effort. I’ll definitely be back and will be recommending The GOAT Germantown to everyone I know. If you’re looking for incredible food and top-tier service—especially if you have dietary restrictions—this is the place to go! Let me know if you’d like it tailored further!

You really get a true Nashville cool vibe here. Brick, industrial pipes, clean lines, and moody atmosphere. And the food was very good! They have a nice happy hour from 4-6 with great beer and food prices. I enjoyed the Goat Ale and wings with a side salad. Very good. And our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely return. Check it out!

Fantastic service from start to finish! My waitress Kelly was incredibly polite, warm, and genuinely made me feel welcome. She had the perfect balance of attentiveness without being intrusive and made sure we had everything we needed. Her upbeat attitude and friendly demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience. It’s rare to encounter someone who clearly loves what they do, and it showed in every interaction. Highly recommend asking for her if you visit!”

The food was amazing, highly recommend the Italian Pizza Rolls. They have a good deal going on right now for restaurant week. Service was top notch, Amanda our server was amazing and had a good sense of humor. Love when they joke around, makes the meal more enjoyable in my books.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here for the first time and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and the staff was incredibly welcoming. My server, Kelly, truly went above and beyond to make our evening special. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and her recommendations were spot on. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The overall service was impeccable, and Kelly's friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Five stars all the way!

OMG... Where shall I start?!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant and its amazing staff! I celebrated one of the most important days of my life here--my nursing school graduation--and they went above and beyond to make it perfect. My guest list grew at the last minute, and they graciously accommodated everyone without hesitation. My mom, who uses a walker, was in attendance, and they ensured she was comfortable and had easy access to everything. The food was absolutely incredible! The variety was outstanding, and every dish was delicious. My guests couldn't stop talking about how great the food was--there was truly something for everyone. and not to mention that the decorations were stunning, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting--exactly what I wanted for such a special day. I had looked at different locations before deciding, but this place here stood out for so, so many great reasons: the attention to detail, the incredible customer service, and the overall vibe. Thank you to the GOAT and their staff for making my graduation celebration unforgettable! I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone planning a special event. PS; These GUYS ARE THE GOAT!!! Thanks again Sharon Taylor RN

I am truly shocked given the rating here is quite high. I'll lead with the fact that I couldn't tell if the pork in my taco was refried beans or pork. Next we have The Italian Pizza Rolls, these are labeled as a "signature item." I rather they put some Totinos pizza rolls in the microwave and gave them to me. We couldn't finish this item either. We really tried to like our order. We just couldn't wait to leave to go home to make something else. I'll end with the fact that we were both RUNNING to the bathroom once we got home because our stomachs started to hurt. **Our waitress was nice to us, this does not reflect her as a person - it's honestly the establishment as a whole. I think it's worth considering some changes. There are other people saying the food is "real bad." Keep in mind ALL we ordered was Birria Tacos and The Italian Pizza Rolls with NO DRINKS (we only had water) and this was about $36 before tip.

Emily is my favorite bartender of all time. What a cool and funny human. Made the experience phenomenal. Super cool vibe, great atmosphere, great food. The All American smashed burger was phenomenal. Good beer list. Will definitely come back.

Seems like a nice place, trendy and hip looking. Our server was nice. I tried the Italian pizza rolls which sounded great on paper, but were very underwhelming. The pepperoni had no flavor, the Italian herbs were nowhere to be seen (or at least tasted) and the crust was almost certainly shipped in frozen. Tasted like little Caesar's, I would have rather had little Caesar's. The birria tacos were... I have no words. Maybe we caught them on a bad night considering some of the good reviews but... I don't know. I guess it's more of a brunch place? Hoping they can figure it out.

One of my FAVE place in Nashville! The Harvest bowl is 10/10! I've gone back and ordered it multiple times since my first visit. Service was friendly.

This place is AMAZING. Being in town for a birthday party, we were having a hard time determining where to eat brunch. This came across as a great place and it did not disappoint. The "Breakfast Board" is by far the best thing on the menu. It absolutely rang the bell. Service was outstanding and the place was clean. We will be back.

In Nashville for a couple days and thought we'd try this place. It's in a cute location and the ambience is really cool. Overall, good but there were some issues. We walked in, two in my party, and had to stand at the host stand for a solid 4-5 minutes with no acknowledgment or anything. It was about 8 pm and they were not even close to busy. Tons of empty space. Finally, after being seated, the wait service was really slow. It was slow the whole time. It seems like maybe the kitchen was backed up as well because 2-3 other tables got their food at the same time we did. The food was really good though. The chicken bacon ranch mac and cheese was quite delicious. And the chocolate toffee custard was a smash hit. Our server was nice but there was never any explanation for the slowness. If the service had been a bit quicker, I'd have bumped this up to 4 stars.

Came here with a group of 5 on a week night and it was not too busy. We got a table outside on the patio and it was spacious and nice. Service was quick and food was tasty. I would love to come back for happy hour and try some more of their daily deals!

I visited here several times for week night specials as well as their brunch. The customer service is always great and the food is okay. This would be a great spot to hang out and watch sports. Parking can be kind of tricky, it's located off of the main street way.

This was a cute restaurant with modern decor. They had a fairly large menu and everything we got was really good. The Mac and cheese was creamy and filling, with really good chicken on top. The Fries were good as well. The drinks were pretty strong and not too expensive. Our waiter was new and a little slow, but not bad as waiting on us. We went on the weekend and it was kind of dead, not sure why. Over all good experience.

This was a very big sports-bar like restaurant. There was plenty of seating when we got in to try some of their buffalo dip. It was a bit too spicy for me but the rest of the group I was with really enjoyed it though. We were only here for a short amount of time, but next time I definitely would like to try some other items they have on their menu.

So glad we found that the Goat was open on Memorial Day while looking for dinner as out of towners stuck in Nashville during a delayed flight. Bartender (Anthony?) was so kind, welcoming, & hospitable. Drinks were amazing as well as the food. I will be thinking about this blackened mahi sandwich for weeks now!! & would definitely come back if ever visiting the area again.

Unaccommodating staff. Service was not the greatest. Went to watch a Bills football game and they changed the large tv to a different game. I requested to have the original game back on and they said no. Weird cuz we were the only table in there.

A great place for a late night bite in Germantown! The menu after 11pm isn't extensive but definitely hit the spot. We ordered wings and chicken tenders with spicy garlic sauce, along with a Long Island and one of their specialty drinks. It's nice area/atmosphere and great service at the bar. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area!

The Goat here in the Germantown section on Nashville is a terrific sports bar / restaurant. This Saturday night they had every important college football game on (simultaneously) and every baseball post season game on also. Their menu has real deal comfort food that is diverse enough for anyone's palate. I had a very good Wedge salad with all of the fixings. My son had their avocado lime salad with chicken that he devoured. We finished off with a really delicious Guinness Chocolate pie that satisfied our sweet tooth. This space this establishment occupies is so big and so vast that the acoustics were fantastic. Just the best place for a nice father son talk marathon; which we had. So, good food, good drink, good ambience all added up to a really good evening.

BEST raspberry ginger margarita I have everrrr had thank youuuu Sam. She was very sweet and super attentive!

We had a fantastic time and our server was amazing and so attentive. We stopped in for dinner before a show downtown and were treated like family. Our server was Emily and she made some superb suggestions for both drinks for the table and an entree for my partner. The atmosphere was lively and fantastic to kick off our night downtown. We definitely will be back and will hope to be served by Emily then as well!!

Service at this location was a bit slower than I would have liked but she was nice and helpful. The building was beautifully decorated. The food was ok. I got a sandwich and it was good but not good enough for me to feel the need to return for it. The music that was playing was 90s popular music so I enjoyed that. I will say overall I was underwhelmed by this particular location

The food was fantastic, the service was excellent. Drinks were made just perfect! Best place we've had in Nashville!!!

I visited the Goat in Germantown last night for happy hour, Tuesday they have two tacos for $7 what a deal. I had the carnitas taco and the jerk chicken taco both were very good and a ice size portion on each. Our sever did a fantastic job !! Easy to get to there was plenty of paid parking in the area. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere inviting. Lots of big screen TV's would be great for game day !

Pleased to say this place lived up to the hype. We went in on a Thursday and they had music bingo going on which made for a fun playlist. The inside is a fun mix of rustic and modern and they have outdoor seating as well. We had to park a couple blocks away but it was free. Service was excellent and the food was served piping hot. We started with the fried pickles and they were tasty and thick-cut. The hot chicken in the mac and cheese was some of the best I've had in Nashville and I was thrilled that the dish included more of their perfectly crunchy and salty pickles! The burger and fries was good too! Definitely will be back again!

Went to the Goat for brunch on Sunday with a friend. Had not been and thought I would give it a shot. Not too far from Monday Night Brewing, which I go to fairly regularly, but I missed this, as it is tucked down on an "alley" off 2nd Avenue in "Germantown East" (entrance on 2nd and one on Monroe). Too bad I negelected to take pictures as this is a nice looking place. About a dozen tables in the front room with a few more by the bar., which stretches across the back wall from the door (there is a separator between the bar area and the entryway dining area). Too hot to open the garage doors, although they are a nice touch when it gets to that time of year. I had the Three cheese egg scramble and she had the Nashville Hot Chicken sliders. No drinks this time, so will have to try again for any reviews on their cocktails. I found the eggs were nicely cooked and the choice of cheeses was on point. the bit of salad nice for plating (and a bit of vegetable refreshment?) and I had to add bacon ... because, well, bacon. I felt it was nicely cooked at that crispy, but still some soft parts, which I like. Nashville Hot Chicken sliders were unique, but won't impress any Frat boys searching for a burn the following day. If I lived in this area, the Goat would be on my list. Then again, there are a lot of nice places in Germantown and "Germantown East", so it would be a long list.

Great happy hour that lasts until 7 PM. The prices were very reasonable. The cocktails were $6 and there was 3 choices. You could also get beer or wine for $4. Each day, there is a small plate offered during happy hour ($5). Tuesday was the tots which were really tasty. We got the braised pork tots. I sort of wish that you could get any plate during happy hour, but I guess that's more incentive to come back another day. We also enjoyed dinner. Our waiter was super nice. The drinks were refreshing. I highly recommend the Elder-Berry!! Fruity but not too sweet. Nice atmosphere and good location. Parking is a little tight, so you may need to park on the street and walk a little.

First time here for lunch on a Tuesday. Very open, well lit, and lots of seats. Very kind waitress. Fast service once we ordered. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap sans ranch. I really enjoyed it, but was a bit confused. It was Buffalo chicken but I didn't taste any on it until I used the side cup I asked (and paid) for to make it taste like Buffalo. Unsure if the waitress thought I wanted all of it on the side (therefore why would I pay for the side cup?), or if it's very light/not noticeable on the wrap and the side of sauce was extra. Nonetheless I liked the wrap a lot, I'd get it again, but I'd be aware of that. Typical elevated American food, nice menu. Good service. I'd go back, and recommend it as an easy, casual spot.

Came here on a Tuesday night and got immediately seated, but waited forever to get our drinks and food. They finally ended up bringing our drinks at the same time of our food. Service was extremely slow, considering no one else was in the restaurant. The burger was good, but we wouldn't order that pizza again. We would try to give this place another shot.

KELLY was a sweetheart!! Took very good care of my group and came back to the table at all the right times. Super sweet and attentive. If you find yourself in Nashville, come here and ask for Kelly!

I really enjoyed my first visit to The Goat! We were looking for a place to get happy hour on St Patrick's Day and didn't want to go with a typical bar that would be extremely busy. The place is tucked away but in newer complex with a nice, open ambiance. They weren't super busy but it still took a bit for our server to get our order. They have a great happy hour with lots of food and drink options. I tried the Blueberry Mule on happy hour and asked for it with less sugar. It came out and was very drinkable, but still a bit sweet for me. We ordered a couple of appetizers to sample; the spicy chicken dip, pizza rolls, and chicken tacos on happy hour. The food was all really good! The tacos were fantastic, the pizza rolls were decadent and delicious, and I liked the hot chicken dip, but it was probably my least favorite. Overall, this is a solid place with great food.

I've been to The Goat Germantown a few times. I've noticed Kelly and Jordan bring a great vibe to this restaurant. Jordan makes great cocktails and Kelly is very attentive and knows a lot about the menu. The manager Marge came by and she was very sweet and made sure we were having a great time. Looking forward to coming back!

Ordered the buffalo cauliflower and really enjoyed it and both sauces. The breading stated on which is a big point for me. The server was overly confident and then ight he could remember our orders but each modification threw him off and then 3 sides were missing. He brought them out later and comped one, so at least there was that, but we were mostly done eating when they arrived.

Great scenery, great drinks. Burger was great, service was great... you'll love this place.

What a cute hidden gem!! Was recommended this place by a friend who moved out here. And so glad we came in. Started off with some beers and got some pizza, tots and cauliflower. The tots were amazing!! Almost ordered a second plate of it. Really neat interior and love the high top table seating. Enjoyed it greatly and would return back!

Was traveling and stopped at The Goat and I am so glad I did it was one of the best experiences i have had in a while!!! Our waitress Kelly gave us exceptional service! Will DEFINITELY be back when traveling and recommend to family and friends!

Visiting for the week and stopped into The Goat and was not disappointed! The food and atmosphere were incredible and our service from Kelly was even better! She was attentive and fun, definitely made our experience memorable. I could not recommend this place enough!

Ask for Emily, she is amazing! She guided us to her favorites, which are now our favorites. Great service great outdoor dining and delicious food. Plenty to take home.

Amazing food amazing service! Went to visit my family and had a night out in Nashville and came to the Goat! Kelly was our server and she was super friendly and paid attention to every detail we needed! Next time I'm in Tennessee we are definitely going to be coming back! Thank you so much!

I always get the chicken and goat cheese sandwich and it's delicious! I have gotten the side of mac and cheese which has been hit or miss for me. If it's fresh it's great but you can tell some days they reheat the day before and it's not as great. Service has been great. Parking can be difficult you have to find street parking.

The place is very comfy and the service was on point. It was around 3ish on a Saturday, not crowded. Food was freshly made. Brent was our server alone with the young lady he was training. They were very attentive and nice. I will be back!

I've been to The Goat before, but before I really got into "Yelping". It's a great place to a bite to eat and grab a couple drinks, whether with friends or solo. I've been to this location twice, once for dinner & drinks and the second for just lunch. My last visit at The Goat involved partaking in Buffalo Cauliflower as an appetizer, Ranch Hand Burger as my main, and Braised Pork Tots as my side. It was a bit much and I'm probably feeling a bit bloated after that meal but man was it good. The Buffalo Cauliflower was breaded and served with sides of Buttermilk Herb & Buffalo sauces on the side. Now I'm not sure if the breading has some sort of Buffalo-flavoring in it, but I'm assuming it does because it would be called "Fried Cauliflower" instead. Crispy, crunch, salty breading with a piping hot & tender (not overcooked) cauliflower center. The Buttermilk Herb was not as flavorful as I would have liked but when I mixed it with the Buffalo sauce, it was exactly what I was looking for. Cool, tangy, creamy, and spicy. The Braised Pork Tots are loaded with a ton of ingredients: beer cheese, white cheddar cheese, fried pickles, braised pork meat, pickled pepper relish and chipotle aioli. They should have renamed this to "Loaded Tots" or "Kitchen Sink Tots" because it really is epic. I'd advise you eat it with a fork because there's no way you can grab a tot and encounter all the ingredients at once. It was a drop kick flavor overload right on your taste buds that would please any foodie. Finally, the Ranch Hand Burger was a saturated fat meat bomb that fills your guts (and pores) with the unhealthiest grease, but man it tastes good going into your stomach. Creamy yolk, salty capicola, sharp cheese, and salty bacon accompanied the 2 beefy patties. My only problem however, was that I ordered pork belly as an additional premium topping on my burger only to have to argue with my waitress that the kitchen's claims that they put the pork belly on there were false. I even had to take apart my burger piece by piece to "prove" to her that there was no pork belly. They finally brought me my pork belly but to my dismay, it was diced pieces of pork belly, crunchy like a chicharron, in a ramekin. I ended up eating these separately because I finished my burger by the time the pork belly came. That wasn't worth the 2 dollars as a premium side in my opinion. Overall, I still think The Goat is worth visiting. There are several locations in the Middle Tennessee area to choose from. I'll definitely return.

Great food, great beer options and a good, chill vibe mixed with even better service. Love it here.

We went here in March when we were up in Nashville. We ubered over to this neighborhood from the hotel because our hotel was a couple miles away and on the other side of the overpass. It was also later at night. We were lucky enough to get there before they stopped serving food. I wanted to go to this neighborhood because it looked like some good, independent restaurants were in this area. I was not wrong. It took us a little while to find it because it is in an apartment complex or condo complex, but when we got there it was big and open and the food was delicious. We saw people eating pizzas, and they looked good so we got one too. We got a carnivore. Yum. They have a full bar, which is also nice. Our server was great. If this place was in my neighborhood I would be here all the time.

I came here this past Friday with family for dinner. We were sat quickly and were seen quickly by our server. The inside is really cool- I wish I had gotten pictures. We had pickle chips as an app. They were heavy on the pickle, being thick slices versus the thinner ones I'm used to. Still tasty! I liked that they came with two sauces. Not even 10 minutes later our food came out. I enjoyed the buffalo chicken wrap with fries. My mother in law got the sweet potato fries and said they were tasty. She also got a bottled Miller light, and wanted a second but unfortunately they were out. Kind of strange to me, but not "bad" persay.

What can I say about this place other than it was great! Our server was being trained and absolutely adorable. She's going to be a great asset to this bar. We started with an espresso martini (the best I've ever had) and some wine. We ordered the cauliflower bites and tacos all of which was very good. This place is just up the street from the listening room (another must go to) and we had about an hr to kill so just relaxed and enjoyed our selves. It's secluded from other eateries as far as I could tell and not in the best neighborhood. However, it was super busy and will do extremely well in this area. So, if u are waiting for your show to start or if it has ended, take a walk up the street and enjoy yourselves here!

Happy hour is truly happy hour at this spot in germantown and the service is great. We went on a Thursday afternoon and it was pretty quiet but enjoyable as the bartender made it fun and others were enjoying their great specials on cocktails and local craft beers. We enjoyed the GOAT burger and the brisket tots as great food options to go with happy hour. I highly recommend you check them out!

Great little place - service was great as was the food. Enjoyed on of the bowls and my friends tried the burger and salads. All was good and it was a great break from the business of Broadway restaurants.

Great pizza. The bar is well staffed however, the service is quite slow. Spent 15 minutes waiting to get our second round of drinks yet waiters were all over. Had to eventually chase our server down.

This restaurant is hidden in an apartment complex, so don't think you are lost when you pull up at the address and don't immediately see a restaurant. We were able to get last-minute reservations on a Saturday night. I probably should have taken the hint with that little bit of information. The food was okay. The service was not great. Our server was nice but reminded me of a high school kid at her first job and wasn't that interested in waiting tables. She did not know the menu and did not seem bothered by that when we asked about various items and she did not know the answer. We ordered the Italian Pizza Roll as an appetizer. This thing is huge. HUGE. It was like a big calzone. It was fine. I ordered the Chicken and Goat Cheese sandwich with a side of tots. The sandwich was good but the tots were not. I don't know that I have ever not loved a tater tot--but these were not your typical tots. Handmade (which I give them points for) but just not flavorful or good. I was very disappointed, especially since I paid the upcharge for them and could not finish them. There were only six on the plate. I might go back and try something else. I just was not impressed. Sorry!

Great food and service. Highly recommend! Will be back for the other items on the Menu that looked delicious.

Best burger I've had in a while! Friendly , cozy, super cool location too. Wish they had more variety in food

Ate dinner here our first night in Nashville in August 2023. The food wasn't the best we had but it wasn't terrible. We had appetizers and salads. Wings were a little above average. Giant pretzels was standard. We had some kind of pizza bread that was fantastic. My daughter and I fought over the left overs.
