If she likes catfish, there's a great place about half a mile toward the Cumberland river from her hotel. It's called "C ock Of The Walk"- - - -a reference to the boss deckhand on the old river flatboats of the 18th. and 19th. Centuries. In walking distance of the hotel is a sports bar/restaurant called the Scoreboard. Great sandwiches, pulled pork barbecue, and other casual food, and the beer on tap is cold, plentiful, and inexpensive!
About 10 miles east is the Hermitage, home of President Andrew Jackson. Take the guided tour if you're into early American history. I grew up about 5 miles from there, on Old Hickory Lake. South of town on Highway 100, the Loveless Cafe' has some of the best fried chicken in Nashville. Take a couple of friends along- - - - -no way that one person will be able to eat what they're going to serve you!
Stay away from Antioch on the southeast side- - - -it's Nashville's equivalent of East St. Louis- - - - -lots of drugs, and several gangs- - - -black, Hispanic, and Asian. If you go there bring lots of ammo!
If you go downtown, watch out for drunks riding electric scooters- - - - -there ought to be an open season- - - -no limit policy for them!

The Country Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium are the best things to see there. By far my favorites when visiting there.

Whatever you do, skip the Loveless Cafe, the fried chicken tastes like catfish and the pork bbq is cooked over a natural gas.
Pathetic

Be sure you're packing. Nashville is fast becoming as bad as Memphis. Negro gangs are bad, and there's at least one shooting a day. Lots of Hispanics and Muzzies too. I used to like to go to Nashville, but rarely ever go anymore, and only during daylight.

Just now seen hotrod lincoln's post
Oh well, my Loveless experiences were less than what they had been hyped up to be.
I like catfish
I like fried chicken
But i don't like my fried chiggun tasting like a muddy carp
The mashed potatoes sucked too. 😄
Sorry Boss 😄

The last time I was there was a couple of years ago after a bike ride on the Natchez Trace, and there was an hour's wait for a table- - - -I guess they've got a bunch of yankee tourists fooled. My friend and I chose another eatery because we didn't want to wait.

Oh the hell with it, go hang out at the Vanderbilt UMC emergency room
That's some damn good entertainment. Best show in town.
Might get lucky and see someone with a Bird Scooter shoved up their ass.

The Savannah Candy Kitchen has awesome caramel apples and gophers. The fudge is good too. Edley's BBQ is pretty good, but the portions are on the skimpy side.

I spent two days- - - -or was it three?- - - - -in the Vanderbilt trauma center after a bike wreck that nearly took my left foot off. I've seen cleaner, better-managed MASH units! Kudos to the surgeons- - - -I've still got both feet, but the staff and the facility sucks like a Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner!

Peg Leg Porker is the best BBQ in Nashville.
Party Fowl if you want hot chicken.
The Patterson House for a cocktail.
Skip all the eating and drinking places between Demonbreun and Church downtown....it is all low grade tourist junk.
Just north of Opryland is Old Hickory lake, and if you want to relax with a view of the water try Sam's at the Blue Turtle Marina.
The Country Music Hall of Fame is worth one visit.

Cock of the Walk is good catfish, and Martin's BBQ is pretty good for Tennessee.
