When you come to Nashville, you might come for the shows, you might come for the music, you might come for the food, or even the weird catfish-themed attractions. Luckily, if you’re strapped for time, there’s one spot in the Opry Mills area that strangely satisfies all of those requirements. The food is delicious, the live music is flawless, and the pond in the middle of the restaurant is full of catfish (naturally). That’s right – at the Caney Fork River Valley Grille, there’s truly something for everyone.
