1. Pancake Pantry

8.7

Breakfast Spot · Hillsboro West End · 270 tips and reviews

Rex H.Rex Hammock: From Thursday through Sunday, the best waitress in the world, Mary, works the early shift. Tell her I said hello. My wife loves the spice (ginger) pancakes. I go with the buttermilk traditional kind.

Catbird Seat is one of Rex's favorite Nashville eateries.

2. Catbird Seat

8.3
1711 Division St, Nashville, TN
New American Restaurant · 21 tips and reviews

Rex H.Rex Hammock: Plan in advance as this is not only one of Nashville's hottest restaurants, it's one of the hottest new restaurants in the U.S. Very small, very expensive but not very stuffy. Awesome!

Arnold's Country Kitchen is one of Rex's favorite Nashville eateries.

3. Arnold's Country Kitchen

9.1
605 8th Ave S, Nashville, TN
Southern Food Restaurant · 106 tips and reviews

Rex H.Rex Hammock: A classic Nashville "meat and three" (mean and three sides). Cafeteria style soul / southern food as authentic as you'll find in Nashville. Get there before noon to beat the line.

Loveless Cafe is one of Rex's favorite Nashville eateries.

4. Loveless Cafe

9.1
8400 Highway 100 (at McCrory Ln), Nashville, TN
Southern Food Restaurant · 282 tips and reviews

Rex H.Rex Hammock: Like Arnolds, a southern food spot that goes way back. Great fried chicken and biscuits. A bit out of town, so not advised if you don't have a car.

Kayne Prime is one of Rex's favorite Nashville eateries.

5. Kayne Prime

9.1
1103 McGavock St (at 11th Ave. S.), Nashville, TN
Steakhouse · 62 tips and reviews

Rex H.Rex Hammock: Pronounced "Cane," not like the singer's name. I include this expense-account steak-fish restaurant because if you are a business traveler and are entertaining a client, it's a please-everyone place.

Capitol Grille is one of Rex's favorite Nashville eateries.

6. Capitol Grille

7.5
231 6th Ave N, Nashville, TN
Steakhouse · 28 tips and reviews

Rex H.Rex Hammock: Upscale eatery in the historic Hermitage Hotel, across from the Tennessee State Capitol. The men's restroom is as famous as the restaurant. (Not affiliated with the chain of the same name)
