The American south is perhaps one of the most famous cultural hubs for foodie fare in the nation. It’s known for carb-heavy meals, for plates filled with gravy, biscuits and fried chicken, everything prepared and ready for a mealtime indulgence. These restaurants are located right outside of Nashville and provide incredible opportunities for delicious eats and bonding experiences. After all, is there anything greater than chatting with old friends over a well-deserved meal? We think not.

Marcy Jo's Mealhouse and Bakery has made quite the name for itself outside of Nashville, both for its cozy, unique atmosphere and warm service. This is where you visit to feel like a part of the family. We'd recommend coming for breakfast so you can partake in a big plate of biscuits and gravy as well as one of their cinnamon rolls. Decked out in frosting and perfectly dense, it's a favorite treat amongst the locals.
