The 5 Wackiest Restaurants In Nashville Where Dining Is A Blast

Discover seven unique and quirky dining experiences in Nashville.

"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!

5. Pfunky Griddle

Usually when you're going out to eat you're looking to BE fed - but at the Pfunky Griddle? You get to make your own pancakes! Your batter comes with a handful of toppings chosen by you, then you're left to your own devices. Sounds like a solid bonding experience, wouldn't you say? (2800 Bransford Avenue)

4. Dino's

Colloquially considered Nashville's oldest dive bar, Dino's has a whole lot of character tucked between those brick walls. Order a burger and fries for a classic, all-American experience in the heart of Tennessee. (411 Gallatin Avenue)

3. Santas Pub

Known as one of the best and quirkiest bars in the Nashville area, it's always Christmas at Santa's Pub. Decorated in Christmas lights and regaled with karaoke on the daily, this is one of the most exciting nighttime experiences in the city. (2225 Bransford Avenue)

2. Mas Tacos Por Favor

The best tacos in the city are only $3 at Mas Tacos, tucked in the heart of East Nashville. It's a classic story, the little food truck that could, that grew into a homey Nashville restaurant lauded by folks of all ages. We'd always recommend it for a quick lunch! (732 Mcferrin Avenue)

1. Hermitage Cafe

Located just south of Broadway in downtown Nashville, the Hermitage Cafe is a favorite for cheap diner eats in the morning and late at night. Make sure to check their hours - they cater to the early and the late, so you may be out of luck come afternoon. (71 Hermitage Avenue)
