I'm vegan but I tried the Fried Oyster Mash Loved the mango sauce with the sweet potatoes fries. Not a place for a vegan, but nice environment and love the decoration specially the hanging doors.

Came for brunch - Bloody Mary and blood orange mimosas were awesome. Get chicken and waffles with Nashville hot chicken - you're welcome. Shrimp and grits-possibly the most underrated menu option.

Get their breakfast. The chicken & waffles are to die for. I got the chicken spicy & added a side of bacon so the combo of sweet, spicy, & salty was just what I needed after the long trip here.

A bit off Broadway, but close. Exceptional bourbon list, delicious steak options, very welcoming staff, and a great dining experience. Make a reservation, but walk in is fine. Big enough for groups.

Culinary meets comfort at The Southern Steak & Oyster Bar. Of course their namesake dishes are delicious, but I’m a big fan of their weekend brunch and fried chicken and waffle. Read more

Meat and 3 today was barbacoa taquitos, black beans, rice, and guac. Only $9 and super tasty! I loved their ghost chili hot sauce as well ^^

Make reservation. Lana was a fantastic server, extremely attentive. Sangria is delish. Brunch- Steak & Biscuit Benedict is too buttery, pass on it. Oysters r great. Cuban was perfection. Live music!

Went here twice while in Nashville. Fish tacos were awesome add some of their peach mango Chili mustard sauce for extra kick. Get the zydeco as a cocktail it is amazing!

Can get busy - if you can't get a reservation, try the first-come-first-served patio area in the nicer months. Try Brunch on the weekends. Fantastic!

Brunch on Sun was excellent. Pleasant service, nice atmosphere, & good food. The steak benedict & chocolate chip pancakes were great! There were even some live musicians (tasteful & unobtrusive).

the place is pricy but it's worth it. i recommend oysters, crab cake, shrimps, pork as starters ❤️🙌

This place is amazing. The biscuits were exceptional. The mac and cheese was great. The ribs were massive and smokey. Potato fries heavily salted. Best waitress who read my mind at every step!

Staff here is great. They listened to our needs and we could have a great patio dinner for a large group on a busy weekend. Thanks again!!
Sabrina Consolascio-GarciaMarch 17, 2014
Everything was delicious! The service was wonderful and the atmosphere fun! Try the smoked deviled eggs and the Belle made my mouth water :) I'll be back!
Billy BurleMarch 25, 2014
Reasonable lunch menu. I enjoyed the southern burger with pimento cheese and jalapeño bacon. Truth be told I would have been happy with a plate of the jalapeño bacon!
Lucy MariaOctober 5, 2021
The fried egg sandwich was delicious and the outdoor seating felt great with those outdoor fans keeping you cool. Friendly service, too.
Marley MizellMay 18, 2013
The steak and biscuit Benedict was honestly the best thing I've ever eaten. The biscuits are made out of blue cheese and taste so good. Also, try the Bloody Mary!
Erin Coleman LabratoJuly 9, 2013
Simply amazing. Limited, but perfect, menu. Great service and food was purely Southern. Will be back. Whatever you do, get some of their jalapeño bacon!
Kevin BrownJune 23, 2013
wedge salad is awesome! BBQ shrimp is fantastic but VERY MESSY. Shrimp was harder to peel than any Ive ever had! Overall super meal while in town for a quick tradeshow!
ElizabethNovember 7, 2016
Great service and food! Sit on the heated patio. Gumbo, bread pudding, crab cakes, and deviled eggs were all amazing.
Grace HardyDecember 23, 2016
Absolutely fantastic restaurant. You want to either get there well before 5pm or make a reservation. Limited menu until 5pm. The Belle is incredible.
Jim A.September 14, 2016
Coming for breakfast? Chicken and waffles that are amazing. It is the "South", you know?
Brian CapozziOctober 8, 2013
The Chicken and Waffles during brunch is AMAZING! My first experience eating it, and I haven't been able to stop salivating each time I think about it.
Katie RedmondJune 23, 2014
A lot more casual than I expected, but fun. The food was nice, but my cocktail was amazing. If you like jalapeños, order the Zydecho and order it now!
Leah B.September 23, 2012
Great scene all the time. Reservations needed. Shrimp and grits out of this world. Biscuits to die for. Very creative menu. Great brunch too!
ASK Gwen CashFebruary 8, 2015
The oysters were divine. Go during hh as they are half price. Also they have a great weekend brunch. Try the steaks and eggs
N. AmroOctober 14, 2013
If you order anything other than the pick-your-own-size or the bone-in ribeye, you're making a HUGE mistake. This place is exactly what they call themselves; steak & oysters...that's what you order.
Justin MyersJuly 8, 2015
One of my favorites in Nashville. Go for the oysters at night and come back in the morning for a great brunch.
Fatou BahMarch 17, 2015
Delicious oysters, killer filet mignon and awesome ambiance. I'm impressed.
Kerry KnightNovember 8, 2014
The Thundercap oysters and shrimp-n-grits were fantastic! Definitely wash it all down with a zydeco cocktail.
Steven SeltzerSeptember 5, 2016
The double pork chop was very smokey but good. Next time its a steak. Good but there were places we liked better- Sperry and Farm House.
Parking Management CompanyNovember 13, 2012
Be sure to use the Complimentary Valet Parking available 7 days a week. It makes the nightmare of parking downtown a non-issue! Service provided by PMC!
Allison KasicFebruary 6, 2016
The best chicken and waffles I've ever had. Get the chicken hot and add a side of bacon.
John TilleryFebruary 17, 2016
Wide variety of oysters and high quality steaks. Definitely worth a visit, if you're in the area.
Mike SeilbackDecember 19, 2014
Great menu featuring southern cuisine not just from Nashville but lots of locales south of the Mason-Dixon
Alicia HobbsSeptember 17, 2013
We sat on the patio which was quieter and allowed for people watching. The filet and pork chop were incredible.
Alecia FairJune 6, 2015
Service was excellent, get the My way for brunch, rich and delicious. The bathrooms were small. Ask for the dining room for large groups.
Brant McQuittyApril 16, 2016
Again the oysters do not disappoint. It's hard to find a seat at the bar, but worth the wait.
Heather HambyNovember 28, 2014
Amazing food and oysters. Let the server make a suggestion for you. You won't be disappointed
James CJuly 22, 2016
Outstanding breakfast. Hot chicken and waffles. Egg pasta dish. Amazing.
Dea PenningtonDecember 21, 2014
Blue point oysters, bless your heart salad and mimosas make for a wonderful meal!
Jose TaflaDecember 10, 2013
If you like steaks, go for the Nudie Suit. Chef Dave and his staff seasoned and grilled it to perfection!

NicoleMay 10, 2015
Amazing food. Don't be afraid to walk in for brunch but get there before 10:30.
Keith LeaDecember 3, 2016
Good bourbon selection and knowledgeable staff
Erik CarlsonDecember 16, 2012
Tennessee Sipping Cream is outstanding. Kind of like Bailey's Irish Cream, but made here and so much better.

Alicia HobbsMarch 29, 2014
Super amazing. We sat on the patio which allowed for excellent people watching :)
