Gabby's is somewhat of an institution in Nashville, splitting locals into two categories: those who have been and those who have not.

Get in, eat up, and head on out fat and happy. (493 Humphreys Street)
Stock & Barrel may not look like much from the front, but this Market Square favorite has been published over and over in response to local fanfare and reputation. The Farmhouse burger is a great one to cut your teeth on, but no worries - there are twenty different burgers to choose from. (35 Market Square)
