Nashville lays claim to a southern original with a twist...hot chicken. Hattie B’s Hot Chicken is located a short walk up from the law school and serves up this new tradition in five heat levels complete with an array of soul food sides and local brews. Don’t let the line scare you away – it is worth the wait!
SATCO (San Antonio Taco Co.) is a local favorite for inexpensive Tex Mex lunch and dinner, with a great patio for outside dining.
Nada offers a great lunchtime special called the lunchbox (two tacos and a side!). The elote corn side dish will have you coming back to this spot time and time again.
The Row will provide you with a traditional southern cuisine and in true Nashville style, often features live music.
Fido blurs the line between coffeehouse and restaurant. There is a mix of food from organic to exotic, breakfast to dinner, and burgers to pancakes.
Midtown Café provides a bit fancier, intimate dining experience. It is located right down the street from VLS and offers something for everyone on their menu.
The Ainsworth recently opened across the street from VLS and is essentially a higher-end sports bar. The atmosphere is chic and just reading the menu will make your mouth water!
