This is my second time to visit Stout's in Brentwood. This time I had my burger "skinny"; no bun and on a bed of arugula. It was fantastic and of course, fewer calories. We were a party of 3 and one of the burgers (even though we ordered some pink) was just not done enough for my wife. She had already cut it in half too. We asked our server to just heat it up.......and shorty comes out a completely new burger cooked perfectly. Give them a try - we think you will not be disappointed.

Very small place but there wasn't a wait at 11am on Saturday. When we looked at the menu online we were all excited about the crepes on the menu. Unfortunately the crepes, which make up at least half of the menu, are a 30 minute wait. One person in our party ordered the Nutella crepe as a " dessert" in addition to his quicker food. Everyone was very pleased with their food. I will be going back in the future and I recommend it to anyone looking for brunch in Brentwood
7. Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

Ah yes, the American chain restaurant offering fried foods of every ilk. You can find them by the hundreds in the U.S., and of course they're never as good as the independently-owned restaurants. But Cheddar's is alright for a chain. They certainly named the franchise cleverly, because most Americans start salivating at the mere mention of cheddar cheese. I know I do. Well played corporate office.What surprised me were the enormous portions for decent prices, a winning combination for family dining purposes. Our meal averaged roughly $17 per person for a bunch of skinny folks with big appetites. And when I say large portions, I mean HUGE portions! Yeah, that's an American characteristic!I started with an appetizer of onion rings, and a MASSIVE stack of rings arrived! They were very good and the batter was just right, super crispy while complimenting the onions. These are actually some of the better onion rings in town, especially for a chain restaurant!When I ordered fried chicken, I had no idea I would get a dish that resembled the 53-ounce steak I once consumed in Idaho. I mean this chicken was GIGANTIC, two enormous butterflied breasts filling up the entire large platter upon which they rested. The chicken was perfectly juicy inside, but unfortunately it's not the traditional fried, thick chicken breast that most prefer. Instead, the chicken is actually pounded so thin that there is more batter than there is actual meat. In fact, the batter is so extremely rich, you feel like you're having a mild heart attack by the time you're halfway done. This champion eater of large quantities hasn't asked for a to-go box in probably 40 years. But the rich batter defeated me and I had to end my streak and ask for a box! You can feel the grease in your arteries! I could have done it if I skipped the giant pile of onion rings. I will say that the sides of buttered corn and fries were tasty.Cheddar's has decent food for a chain. Our waiter was professional and courteous. In fact, he's probably the first server I've ever had who both kept my water glass full at all times AND put my appetizer in front of me instead of in the middle of the table for all to grab. That earned him a 30% tip, because I've been waiting my entire adult life for a server to do both of those things simultaneously. I wish I remembered his name. Tall, friendly African-American man with a tattoo slightly visible on his neck. Give this man a raise! He's probably the best waiter I've had in my life (outside of an ultra-expensive restaurant)!I've read complaints about servers who don't bring silverware to the table, or napkins. Not our waiter. He was on top of it! I've also read about trouble with restaurant's water quality or issues with customers substituting side items. The water quality problem seems to have been fixed, and I had no trouble substituting both sides items that came with the chicken. So hopefully this Cheddar's has remedied these issues as it seemed that way to us.

Party of five, we arrived unannounced on what was a very busy evening. Well received and advised a table would be ours within 15 minutes. Well within that time, we were guided to our table and a very cheery server, Rachael greeted us and gave us menus.Drinks were ordered and served, questions on the menu answered intelligently so we placed our orders.We shared a starter of deep fried shrimp with a home-made dip - the shrimp were piping hot, well cooked and plentiful, but for me the dip was far too acidic, more like a bought-in product than homemade. Other than that small detail, the meal was excellent! Two of us had 12oz Ribeyes the other three, a different cut each. All were well presented and cooked perfectly to our individual tastes. Butter knife tender each one!! The various vegetables were all well cooked and well presented. Our server was attentive and genuinely pleasant and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Our first time visiting this restaurant but definitely worth another visit.Prices we felt were very reasonable for the quality but allow $35 per head plus alcohol as a guide. Restaurant has very good ambiance and a great buzz the night we were there.

We dine regularly for breakfast at First Watch in Clarksville IN on a regular basis. We have found when we travel in the So Indiana, Northern KY and now Nashville that we can find a First Watch. Quality has been very good from both service and quality standpoints. The Brentwood location was no exception. My wife loves avocado and raves about the breakfast entree that includes this. I have multiple favorites and have yet to be disappointed at any location. The million dollar bacon is a must to order and share if in a group. It's almost too good to be legal.

Usually takeouts don't taste as good as eating in. In this case, what we bought at Corky's and ate at the hotel was incredibly good!My husband got smoked pulled pork, fried pickles, mac n cheese, coleslaw, fried okra, and catfish. EVERYTHING delicious!!!! Very well-prepared and well-boxed. The portion was big enough for us - and had some left over (no wonder why! :-).If I was from the area, I'be a loyal customer.

We had heard that Mere Bulles was an amazing restaurant from some of my coworkers and we took a chance on it for our wedding rehearsal dinner. I have to say that overall, they knocked it out of the park! Caty was super helpful for booking and everything went smoothly for almost 40 people. The service was stellar and Juan in particular was a fantastic waiter. The food was absolutely excellent and everyone enjoyed their meal. We're so lucky that this was a fantastic place and we will definitely, definitely be back!Thank you Kevin. We are so glad you trusted us to be part of such an important celebration.

We had heard about Sinema, but have never had a chance to go. We decided to celebrate our 37th at Sinema. It was absolute perfection!!! We started upstairs where they were having happy hour specials and had excellent wines with aglonotti. Oh my goodness!!! This was to die for! What was even better, was my bill , because it was 2 for 1 on certain drinks. We had wine leftover to take downstairs to dinner. We started out with one cheese board and one meat board. This is one of the courses Sinema is known for, and for good reason. Wow! We've had charcuterie boards all over the U.S., and we don't think any restaurant touches the creativity of Sinema! We had the Spinach Peach salad next with fried pork belly. I should have stopped eating at this point, but our gracious server, Rebecca, brought the crabmeat/hearts of palm soup. Well hello, ya gotta keep eating! OMG!!! WOW!!! It had some kind of fried fig in the middle that made your tongue say, "Howdy". Then came the halibut that was pure perfection! To top everything off, we chose the ice cream sandwich of the day. Okay, so we grew up very simple, but this dessert was definitely wasn't simple. It was also super special for our night. The brookie (brownie/cookie) with homemade blueberry icecream, was surrounded by white chocolate. Ummm... yummy. I only thought I was full before it came out. Much thanks to Brett Nelson, chefs, and staff for giving us an AWESOME NIGHT to remember!
