The 7 Wackiest Restaurants In Nashville Where Dining Is A Blast

“Wacky” tends to be a strong word, especially when it comes to a dichotomous dining experience. Low-key or fun? Quirky or standard? A dining experience is simply a dining experience, a story, an interesting sense of interior design or a fun spattering of menu items. Whether you’re coming to Nashville for breakfast or dinner or a drink in-between, these seven restaurants are sure to serve up a solid story alongside your meal. Happy eating!

Editor’s note: Unfortunately, EiO & The Hive has closed its doors. Want to add another dining hot spot to your bucket list? Replace this stop with a trip to Jasper’s, a new eatery on West End.
