We were very happy coming here to watch Ravens and Panthers football. Referred to us by Five Points Pizza next door, the wait staff was really friendly and they had brunch until 3 along with 2 for 1 beers including a nice local selection. Food was good and parking was good across the street. Would definitely recommend this place!!

Best chicken and waffles in town plus they're open late! Great neighborhood bar and food is always phenomenal!
(4)Matthew M.
After three visits, here is the verdict: The good: Shrimp and grits Hanger steak (although portion was disappointing) The bad: Pork chop (smallest chop I have ever seen in my life, and pink inside) Fried green tomatoes Charcuterie Expect to walk out of this place hungry.

I've really tried to like this place. I really have. It's the only non-smoking bar that I'm aware of in five points, that's a plus. It looks really cool, nice horseshoe setup and you can watch any sporting event from any seat in the house... but... bottom line- it's severely overpriced and if the kitchen doesn't screw something up, the front-of-house staff will. Every time.
(2)Scott D.
After enjoying every bite of the Shrimp and Grits, I offered to get on my knees for the chef. The knowledge of the wait staff of beer and food was excellent. Everything about our experience was great.
(5)Andrea S.
The food isn't good. Don't be fooled. It's not like it's poorly done. It's just weird. The salad is super sweet and the po boy is missing sauce. Don't expect to be impressed. Just get fed

A co-worker recommended Tenn Sixteen as a good place to watch the NBA Finals game. The TVs were big and made it easy to watch the game. We sat at the bar and when the bartender brought the drink I ordered, she also gave me a wooden token. When I asked her what it was for, she informed me that the $4 beers were 2-for-1. So I got two great IPAs for the price of 1-for $4! I also ordered the pretzels as an appetizer (So delicious- I would kill for the spicy mustard it comes with) and the hot chicken and waffles. The chicken and waffles were ok, but I had just experienced the wonderful hot chicken at Hattie B's the day before and unfortunately, Tenn Sixteen's hot chicken couldn't compete. Side Note: If you have never been to Nashville, you MUST try hot chicken at Hattie B's or Prince's. It's damn near life changing and I think it's specific to Nashville. (Check out my review of Hattie B's if you're curious). The food, drinks, and experience at Tenn Sixteen were great. So glad I listened to the recommendation to go.

I went for a brunch with a bunch of my fabulous lady associates. The hot chicken and waffles was good. It was better than I thought it would be. The hot chicken was actually..... wait for it... HOT! And the waffle was delicious. I'm a fan of good hot chicken, but it was too spicy for some of the girls. They took the spicy breading off (pansies, lol). I was not a fan of their hashbrown casserole. It was a fairly small portion for the $3 price, and it wasn't very palette-pleasing. Mushy and flavorless. I know what they were going for with the fried shreds and peppers and whatnot. It was just a miss. The mimosas were just okay. I tried the pineapple and the regular. Both were... okay. Also, I know there was a big group of us, but the service was average. It started off good, then our server got lost in the Bermuda triangle. But she found her way back towards the end. She was pleasant, and handled our large group fairly well. The service plus the hot chicken made me go from 3 stars to 3.6 stars... so I rounded up. I'll be back... but definitely not for that hashbrown casserole.
(4)Samantha P.
This place is awesome. Cool little pub. Read the reviews about "poor customer service" went there and I had no problems. My fiancé and I don't like to be bothered . If I have my drink and my food I'm good. Our girl was kind and not always on our ass. Good place don't always believe the negative reviews! Food: was fantastic!!!! Pretzels are so yummy and the blacken catfish was sooooooo yummy!!! Give it a try and don't be such a stick in the mud and speak up if someone is treating you like shit when you are paying and tipping this person. But don't be a dick about it! Will be back!!!!!
(5)Alex F.
Had remarkably bad service. The fried green tomatoes were good, and came out hot. However after that, the hot foods arrived cold and the cold food arrived warm. We sat near the bar, and watched our drinks die on the bar mat before our server delivered them. The gumbo tasted like MSG, then the carbonara we ordered to replace it came in 20 minutes after we asked a passing server if she could check on it for us. Would not go back, except maybe for a beer. At the bar. Definitely not a table.
(2)Whitney L.
I love this place! I've visited Teen Sixteen once and it was a Sunday for brunch and it was so busy! We came on a Saturday this time and got right in with no wait. Some of there brunch items are on their daily menu like their Shrimp and Grits, and Chicken and Waffles. I had the Shrimp and Grits they were so good! They wasn't soupy at all.
(5)Dawn L.
In Nashville for the weekend. Found this place and ended up back multiple times...even twice in one day. The service was good. Great beer list. I am a huge fan of left hand milk stout so to find it on tap drew me back for multiple visits. We enjoyed the chicken & waffles, gumbo, BBQ chicken and the blackened catfish. All were well prepared and came out from the kitchen pretty quickly considering the place was packed. An unexpected surprise was the 2 for 1 beer special. Getting my favorite beer that cheap is quite a bargain. A great local place.
(5)Randy R.
Great lunch or brunch place. Dinner for that matter. I have had more lunch or brunch experiences. Great staff really good food. It's little bit of NOLA in Nashville. Nice atmosphere as well I never feel hurried. At times the service can be a little slow. Not terrible but just a little. The good food and friendliness of the staff make up for it. Go if you haven't.
(4)Laquita B.
Melissa the bartender is Awesome! Please go and support her. Love her attitude and She has a beautiful smile. The manager on the other hand..... Somewhat not so Pleasant. I wanted a Bushwacker with Chocolate syrup, Melissa gave me what I wanted, unfortunately I asked for another, but the manager was upset and said she couldn't give me another. I thought the customer gets what they want, especially if they are paying. She seriously needs to lighten up and allow Melissa to do her job. Chocolate wasted or Not... Support Melissa!! She's a cutie.
(3)Amanda B.
We came here for drinks and app's. We took a tour of the whole app menu and really was not disappointed by any of it. The pretzels were delish and the mustard they serve with them is delish!! We also had the meat and cheese plate and it was good and had more on it than other places we have had them at. The deviled eggs were unique and good! Nice spin on an old classic! They apparently made fried pickles by mistake and gave them to us which was nice! They were good too. The waitress was very attentive and we never went without a drink or needing anything! The menu looked yummy and by other reviews it sounds like the dishes are just as good as they sound. I give it a star short because we didn't have dinner and can only revives on the apps and server. The atmosphere is nice, very hipster laid back. I love getting ID'd when half the people look like they are still in high school. Haha!
(4)Daniel B.
This was a great brunch! If you are on this part of town you have to get the chicken and waffles or the crab cakes. The wait staff was excellent and the beer on Sunday's is 2 for 1...to include craft beer.
(5)Kimberly S.
After trying to head to 5 Points Pizza on a Tuesday and failing, I went here last night with my fiance and future father-in-law. It was A-Okay, but nothing really appealed to me. Besides a few unappealing salads, there were no healthy options. I ended up ordering the blue cheese meatloaf, which hit the spot, but I probably wouldn't return for. The menu seemed a little disjointed and pricy for what was offered and the casual atmosphere. All in all, if a friend suggested we go there, I would absolutely tag along, but I don't think I'll be going out of my way to hit up Tenn Sixteen.
(3)Jonathan B.
Atmosphere: Located in the middle of Five Points this place sort of reminds me a clean 3-Crow, minus the smoke. Parking can be a pain in Five Points but we didn't have an issue on a Saturday for lunch. Food: I had the hot chicken which was really unimpressive. No where near the quality of Bolton's, Hattie B's, or Prince's. The girlfriend got the Hangar Steak which wasn't even worth mentioning. The mashed potato's were very good though. I was told I should've ordered the chicken and waffles or come for brunch so we'll probably end up doing that next time. Service: We ordered and occasionally our waitress would remember to come check in on us. Nothing worth complaining about but our empty glasses were definitely noticed. Overall: I have to come back for brunch but so far it isn't somewhere I would go out of my way to get to.
(3)Chris A.
I don't know why there are bad reviews of this place. I am a total fan. I have loved everything I have eaten here. Shrimp and Grits? awesome. Chicken and Waffles? delicious! They have great big screens to watch football. The only drawback (and its not a bad thing) is that it can get busy. Busy is good! but sometimes I like to be less crowded.
(4)Dew T.
Disappointing all around! We stopped in for drinks and appetizers on Saturday night. The pretzels and cheese were were very good, but the cornbread was awful. The cornbread was so dry it could have been made last week. We each took one bite and wished we hadn't! We wanted to send it back to the kitchen and order a different app, but our server was no where to be found. About 20 minutes later (after we had finished all our food and drinks) she reappeared and asked how everything was. She offered to replace the cornbread, but we were interested after waiting that long. After asking for it twice, she brought our ticket and she hadn't taken the cornbread off. After a 3rd long wait we finally able to leave. Unfortunately her poor service and their terrible cornbread was reflected in her tip. Sorry Tenn Sixteen, we won't be back.
(1)Hank D.
Always pleasant service and the food is always fresh. I wish they some wings on the menu or other options that were not fried. The atmosphere is chill and comfortable. Easy walk from the house and everybody knows your name.
(5)Nicole D.
Grabbed dinner here one night and loved this neighborhood. I got the hot chicken, which was great, and my husband got the pork chop. The food was good but maybe a little overpriced, the service was a little spotty. All in all, a good time in a fun neighborhood.
(4)Mike A.
Nice looking place. I can barely remember anything about it except that someone knocked over a chair while we were there. If you add up the numbers this place could be called twenty six. That might be a good bar name. Maybe better than what it is today. And then if you added up those numbers you could just call it eight. That would be a good bar name too. You have no more choices after eight. That's it. Take it or leave it.
(4)Jim M.
One of the best Caesar salads I've had in Nashville. Unfortunately, every. single. bite. I took of my crab cakes had bits of shell in them.
(3)Victoria L.
I went here for dinner on a Friday night with a large group of over 20 people. They don't take reservations and don't really have any large tables but the staff still did a wonderful job accommodating our group. They had to split us up but they were still very friendly and didn't seem as frazzled by our large group request as others have been in the past. The atmosphere is nice and open and clean. Sometimes in bar heavy areas, it's easy to neglect the food but not so here. This is more restaurant than bar. It looks like the type of place that would have burgers but it's actually Cajun. I wasn't expecting a good dinner but my Shrimp Po Boy was really good. The shrimp was fried just right and the sauce was great. Be warned, the fries are really spicy (I guess coming from the Cajun influence). The menu might say they're spicy but I wasn't paying attention, I assumed they'd be standard bar fries. Overall, it was a good experience and I was pleasantly surprised by the food.
(3)Kristi R.
We came to Tenn Sixteen pretty late on a Sunday evening, after a bad experience at another restaurant. The deviled eggs and spicy pickles were so good! I had a hard time deciding on my entree, but went with the crawfish carbonara, because I so rarely eat pasta, and hey-it was my birthday so I got what I wanted. My bf got the steak, and we were both very happy with our entrees. Service was quick and friendly, not a single issue. Thanks for "saving" my birthday dinner. :)
(4)Christina G.
Came in with my friend and her roommate for Sunday brunch and immediately got good vibes from the fun mardi gras bead chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, but the sun was shining so we took a walk around the black and checked out more of east nash and some cool street murals nearby. When ordering drinks the waitress informed me it was 2 for 1 Sundays, which meant I was getting double shots in my drink for the price of just one shot. Bring on the BLOODIES! The drink was really good, and the make it special by topping with some Guiness. I think this was my fave part of the meal. We started with two apps, the biscuits and gravy and assorted devliled eggs. The biscuits were pretty standard and the gravy portion was a bit meager, could've used some more as the biscuit just really sopped everything up that was extra. Loved the fried devil eggs! For entree had to try the hit chicken and waffles per other reviews. The chicken really shined in this dish, was hot crispy and made my nose run. The waffles was pretty standard nothing special. My friend got the shrimp and grits, which was awesome. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and was swimming in a awesome creamy sauce. The service was great and the food was tasty, reason for 3 stars instead of 4 was the few items that were good but with a few tweaks could've been amazing.
(3)Caitlin F.
Food was awesome and so was our server, but has too much of a sports bar vibe for the area that it's in. My boyfriend ate hot chicken for the first time ever and he loved it
(4)Grant C.
A few friends and I met to wish a coworker well on a recent promotion. Unfortunately,future schedules made meeting at 3PM on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving the best time to meet. A member of our group suggested Tenn Sixteen. I've driven by Tenn Sixteen many, many times. I've been to Beyond the Edge, Batter and Fried, 5 Points Pizza, and Nuvo Burrito (when they were open) more times than I can count. But for whatever reason, I never ventured into Tenn Sixteen. It always seemed dark to me. Of course, they were not busy. The staff was friendly.In fact, I thought they were very, very nice. The server and bartender weren't over the top. They were just polite and very helpful. We just ordered a couple of beers and an appetizer. As such, I can't give a glowing review of the food or service during a peak period. I am happily married (24 years), have a nineteen and fourteen year-old daughter. I work downtown. I will definitely visit Tenn Sixteen again with my family and/or coworkers. I will be able to update my post with a review of the food soon. In the meantime, don't let the outside fool you. It is more inviting than the street front suggests.

Watched the Derby here last weekend. Wasn't crowded on a Saturday afternoon, and we had a booth equidistant to the sunshiney open windows & the horse race. Cocktails were great, and they switched on the sound for the race. Their take on a mule was pretty good, and the bushwacker was delicious. Have been told the shrimp & grits are great. Their GF menu is a little weak, but at least I had options. Thank you for the lovely derby day.
(4)Kenneth D.
First strike, denied entry with our infant at 5pm on a dead Tuesday evening. Second and last strike, 21 and up all the time now, denied entry on a Saturday at noon. Never have I tried so hard to give someone money, never again though, too many excellent establishments in the area that are more than glad to accommodate. It was good while it lasted.
(1)Queen B.
happy hour drinks are about $8. Amy made me two delicious Old Fashions and she muddled the cherries. really good drinks. that is all.
(3)Morgan S.
We love to go to Tenn Sixteen for lunch. They have an amazing caesar salad (I get it with the shrimp) and the devilled eggs are awesome. It is usually pretty quiet and they have a bar if you are having a bad day.
(5)Thomas B.
This place brings a little class to the east side without taking out the character. I have tried almost every dish and the only thing not worth eating is the steak. But if you get it you know you're over ordering. The fried BLT is fantastic and Crawfish if you're in the mood for pasta but its a lot of food. Also a great little brunch spot for hot chicken and waffles or crab benedict. Place has a ton of huge TVs and an excellent beer selection. I usually watch sports here. Happy hour all day Sunday!
(5)Gee W.
Tenn Sixteen.....WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?? Very disappointed. While the food seems to always be good, Tenn Sixteen falls absolutely flat with it's service. Usually it's on the slow side, but lately it has move towards a slow/rude combination....and that's not good. Rarely are you seated quickly, having to wait for a while to get the hostess to seat you (when the restaurant is slow, mind you). And it just goes downhill from there. Most recently, we waited for about 10 minutes for water to arrive, we quickly ordered drinks and an app. It wasn't until the app came out that the waitress even bothered to get the rest of our food order. I tried to flag her down several times, saying 'we're ready to order'...and she blew me off. Then, when she finally did come, she mockingly said 'I hear you're ready to order'. The comedy routine lasted throughout the meal too. Insulting. And the drinks that we ordered...well, they came out with the food, so it took about 40 minutes from the order to get the drink to our table. I'm sorry, I know you have off days on service. That's the way things go. But for you to have so many off days, and when customers actually try to get service and they are made fun of, that's where you move into the 'unacceptable' area, at least for me. Tenn Sixteen....your kitchen may be 4 star, but your customer side staff ruins the whole experience for me. Next time I am in Five Points, I will be steering clear of you. Get it together!

Had the most wonderful time here! We had the barbarian pretzels as and app and they were so delicious! For an entree my friend had the shrimp and grits and it was amazing! I had a spinach salad with grilled chicken and it had the most delicious salad dressing I have ever had.
(5)Brit M.
Amazing food, Amazing drinks, and amazing service. I drove in from Chicago and this was my favorite food place in Nashville! You need to go and grab a mimosa and chicken and waffles
(5)Kelly Ann W.
Really liked this place. Ambiance is OK- love the cheap bead chandeliers, but other than than that it's kind of non-de script. Really good beer selection. I had a Turtle Anarchy stout on tap We ordered shrimp n grits and the chicken 'n waffles. Both were really really good. There were quite a few other things on menu I want to try, (meatloaf sandwich, crawfish, fried green tomatoes, deviled egg player) so we will be back!
(4)David B.
Food is great Service has been mediocre at Best every time I have been.
(4)Judy L.
This place is great. The food? Amazing. Beer selection? Awesome. Atmosphere? Lively. This is definitely my favorite sports bar in Nashville. Sundays are 2-for-1 beers, and they have a great brunch menu that goes until 3PM; try the Chicken and Waffles. If you don't order a 2nd (or 4th) beer during their 2-for-1, you can keep the token and redeem it on another day! Off of their normal menu, you can't go wrong with the Pork Chop (this is the best thing I've ordered here), Blackened Catfish, and Shrimp and Grits. They have plenty of TV's, and you can call ahead and ask if they're playing a specific game.

3.5 I think the reviews of this spot are a bit harsh. Tenn Sixteen is a perfectly serviceable neighborhood restaurant. While one might not drive from, say, Sylvan Park to come here, denizens from Edgefield, Maxwell Park, East End, Lockeland Springs, and the like would/should surely come here for some beer, bites and a relaxed environment. I don't know if this is an everyday thing or just a Sunday thing, but I was mighty pleased to discover a two for one deal going on. I helped myself to two Jackalopes (poured in the proper glass). Had i been there to watch the game (or, TV in general; there wasn't much discrimination when it came to what was on the tube), I would have been more than satisfied to sit at the bar, drink some beer and TV/people watch. But, I'm a fatty... and fatties eat. Yes, the NOLA things is a bit confusing... but go with it. How many NOLA-inspired eateries are in this part of town? In any case, I think the menu is more Southern-inspired with NOLA accents than straight up etouffee, po' boys and the like (which you can order here). I started with a cup of gumbo and, immediately, wished I'd ordered a bowl. The roux was thick, the spices were humming and the ingredients with thick, chunky and plentiful. It paired very nicely with my beer. I couldn't decide on what I wanted for my main course. I don't think I chose as strongly as I could have... but I, nevertheless, enjoyed what I got. I ordered the bbq chicken (see? Southern) with the gouda mac & cheese and red cabbage slaw. As I am want to do, I mixed everything together. The bbq sauce added a nice sweet and subtly spicy kick to the meat -- which was a big hunk of white meat. This was anemic piece of chicken. I ate the fowl atop the cabbage which was a good idea. Not only did the slaw add texture but chicken, bbq sauce and slaw (especially being so close to Memphis) is always a good idea. The mac & cheese was ok; I wanted it to be better. I have a slab of smoked gouda in my refrigerator right now. I'm pretty mad about the stuff. The pasta dish could have had much deeper flavor and thicker consistency. As it was, the cheese was a bit bland and runny which is too bad considering the potential. My service was attentive, if not over the top, but on a Sunday evening, that suited me just fine. Perfectly respectable.

Website said we bring our 12 year old son as long as we come before 4:30 pm! We planned our whole birthday day around this because we love Cajun food. We get there and it is now 21 and up only. Parking is horrible in 5 points so to find this out after the fact made it worse. UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE!!!!!
(1)Kris C.
I've been to this restaurant and have thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the meatloaf sandwich, but the service my friends and I had today thoroughly SUCKED! Sarah was the worst. She would disappear for awhile and leave our table waiting for a refill on a glass of water and the bushwhacker that I ordered when I sat down. My friends and I (three people) had to ask another server for a refill and my drink. While I understand restaurants are busy on Saturday, this was bad. Since it was my friends first time there, I was embarrassed about how bad it was. It was like she only came to our table when she had to and, then, she was not the most pleasant or attentive. As a rule, I always tip and I tip well since I have had friends that were servers and bartenders, for this lunch, she didn't get a tip from me. The meatloaf sandwich, as always, was awesome! I know I should try other things on the menu, but this sandwich is AWESOME! They have cheese in the meatloaf and BACON!!
(2)Zeb M.
As Lauren W. stated before me, the decor is pretty awful. (Be sure to check out the lighting with Mardi Gras beads hanging.) That aside, I still had an enjoyable dinner. It's Creole style food, but it's really just pub fare. I believe the most expensive item was $16-18, and the menu varies from salads and sandwiches to entrees. I ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT (because how could I not?), while my friend ordered a chicken salad. The chicken salad came out in a gigantic plate with enough for leftovers, and my sandwich was pretty dang good. I can't give it 4 stars because nothing wowed me, but I appreciate this restaurant as a new addition to 5 Points. I typically avoid 5 Points on the weekend when I want a drink because every bar is so packed, so this might be a nice option for those who want to grab a table or booth for a drink. Bottom line: if you're curious about this place, give it a try!
(3)Scott D.
Solid choice in 5 points. Clean, laid back, not overly granola, good food, and good service. Sometimes the service is slow, but the people are friendly. 5 big screen tv's on each side of the bar and great ambience make this a great place for a late night date! Check it out, you will not be disappointed.
(4)Mark W.
Nice bar but terrible service always! You go cos the promos on drinks are fair but your lucky if you don't wait ages to get someone's attention or if they can be bothered to serve you. Not enough bar tenders for a bar this size. Shame because it could be really good if the people who owned it got treated like we always do and realised it needs to be like drifters behind them. Fast and friendly.
(1)Gretchen G.
Eh. I actually really liked the atmosphere: an excited crowd watching the basketball games intently, a few people looking to make a new friend at the bar and mostly large groups at the tables. The hostess took our number and after 45 mins was apologetic saying perhaps she texted the wrong number. Which, given our mood didn't really matter. Our waitress wasn't particularly friendly or rude, just not interested. I asked for a drink menu, mostly to figure out what was in all the hurricane glasses an she told me there was just a beer menu. To their credit, the fried green tomatoes were really good. The hot chicken wasn't all that hot but had plenty of seasoning. The creole pasta was fairly ordinary and bland.
(2)Patrick S.
No kids allowed. I used to go here with friends and their families for Sunday Brunch or a game, but since they've changed to 21 & over, I probably won't end up going that often.
(2)Hillary H.
Bad service. :( she was busy but even the few minutes we did see her she didn't have much of a personality. Very slow service as well. She walked away from us before we could even say something to her. I did love all the tvs though and it was a cool environment. My Bellini was good as well!
(3)Karen R.
I came here on Easter Sunday for brunch, as suggested to me by my brother since I was visiting from out of town. My first impression - fun and lively with a nice open layout. They were able to seat us immediately, which was especially impressive given that it was prime brunch time. They had a 2-for-1 drink special which was perfect for the bloody mary drinkers at my table. Our server was extremely attentive and personable. And last but not least- the food was absolutely delicious. I got the crab benedict, which I highly highly recommend! My brother got the French toast which was decadent and some of the best French toast I've tried. If I was local to Nashville I would definitely be going back here!
(4)Malessa W.
Been here 2 times and both times the food has been amazing. Recommend the chicken and waffles and the pork chop sandwich. Food comes out quickly and hot. Great drink specials on Sunday too.
(5)Ashley C.
I had the best meal of my life when I visited this place about a month ago. It's in a different part of Nashville that has its own charm. Parking wasn't ideal but hey, get out there and enjoy a nice walk people! I had the apple bourbon glazed pork chop with vanilla whipped sweet potatoes. I also had to have a side of the Gouda smoked mac n cheese. It was AMAZING. I don't even like pork chops usually but this meal changed my mind. You can't go wrong here. If you're in town definitely give it a try!
(5)Melissa B.
Chandeliers made out of Beads?! Crispy, fried pickle chips?! Abita Beer?! HECK YEAH!!! We went into Tenn 16 to watch the Saints game on Saturday afternoon. The result of the game did not effect how much we enjoyed the bar. The service was actually great even though we sat there forever. My beer was never empty, and we constantly were asked if we needed anything else (but not to an annoying degree). Beer options were fantastic! Somehow, they delivered fried pickle chips that were CRISP and juicy! How'd that happen?!? DELICIOUS! Did I mention the decorations?? Chandeliers were made out of Mardi Gras beads! I can only imagine what this place is going to look like come Fat Tuesday!! Great little NOLA styled bar!
(4)Jessica M.
I have been in this bar twice now. Both times I had to leave because it was so cold. It didn't even break 90 degrees outside today & the temperature inside was barely 60. They had all the windows open & the AC cranked all the way. Nonsense!! The guy next to me said that he was also freezing. The guy next to him had a jacket on. It's the middle of summer. We can be a little warmer than we are in the winter can't we? Is this a Southern thing? What the hell??! I told the bartender & ordered coffee in an attempt to warm up or get her to slow the fans or something. She just kind of looked at me like I was nuts for the remainder of my time there. Awesome. Thumbs up. I don't smoke & find smoke repulsive but I had to leave & go watch the World Cup at 3Crow (which I hate because of the smoke) just so I could stop shivering. Also the menu looks really overpriced & disjointed. Never going back.
(2)Lauren W.
I'm going to be (a lot) harsh here: the decor is terrible. Despite the name of the restaurant being an abbreviation for Tennessee and the logo being an outline of our fair state, the theme inside is apparently New Orleans Mardi Gras. WHAT?! This is the most confused theme I have ever seen. I guess to drive home the Mardi Gras vibe they painted the walls a variety of yellows, purples and greens while hanging the most hideous plastic bead lighting fixtures I've ever seen. Add to this a dizzying array of flat screen TVs and some really terrible paintings you have a big mish-mosh of decor. I think the whole thing would be better if they created a theme around the name- a very TN-focused vibe, or change the name and go full-on Louisiana. Since it was Sunday Funday we decided to have a few adult beverages with our meal. The beer selection on tap was quite impressive as well as their bottle list. Unfortunately, they didn't have in stock everything that was listed on the menu. Twice Steve ordered a beer and twice our waitress came back to tell him that they were out of it. Super disappointing to Steve. He did finally wind up with one of our favorites, the chocolate stout from Fort Collins Brewery. I went with the perennial morning favorite, the Bloody Mary. Tenn 16 made a solid one and I'm always a fan when it's garnished with pickled okra. For my entree I chose the three egg omelet with veggies and cheese with a side of cheesy home fries. This omelet was inedible and I pretty much just picked out the vegetables and pushed the eggs to the side of the plate. Why? They cooked the omelet in a pan that was way too small for the amount of eggs and fillings, creating a small tough block of eggs that were terribly overcooked and stiff. Omelets should be light and fluffy and allow you to taste the joy of eggs (eggs are WONDERFUL). This omelet was more like a brick and less like a food product. The cheesy home fries were pretty awesome though. We all had them as sides for our entrees and agreed that these were our favorite part. Steve ordered the crab benedict and once again Tenn 16 proved that they cannot cook an egg. Poached eggs that are traditionally served on a benedict are lightly cooked so that when you first put your fork to the egg the yolk gently pours out covering everything in golden deliciousness. Tenn 16's eggs were overcooked such that the yolk was mostly solid and nothing was runny. The service wasn't very good either. Our waitress was forgetful and didn't stop at our table nearly enough. After we were done eating, she would stop by our table and ask if we needed anything else, and then leave without taking away the dirty plates. She did this twice before I told her explicitly that we were done and the plates could be taken away. Granted, my plate still had the stiff overcooked remnants of my omelet, but Steve and our friend had mostly cleared their plates. Tenn 16 was busy at this point, but they appeared to have enough staff working that the service should have been better. Overall, I would say skip Tenn 16 for brunch. There are tons of places nearby that serve a solid brunch (Marche, Mad Donna's) that are definitely worth the wait. I would like to come back and try the more Cajun-themed dinner options and I would be more than happy to pop in here to have a drink with friends.

Wow! I have been coming here for a couple years and enjoyed watching this place grow. It has constantly gotten better. It's been a few months since I have been back and was excited about coming. Here comes the WTF! I sit at the bar and the bartender is obnoxious. Dude must own the place or thinks I am a pessant. He comes over looks over me and asks can I help you. Acts like he could give a shit if I was here or not. Such a dissappoint for this place. Then as I watch him make drinks and other things he goes in the kitchen. I see him eat food, now we all get hungry right? This is always forgiven, around good food, atomsphere, and great beer but this guy! I ask for a freakin straw and he grabs it and slams it in my drink. Please tell me you have to be kidding me. So my last review was a 5 star I hope someone who cares reads this and has a meeting of ethics and respect. Man tell this cat a smile doesn't make you look soft.

I had a great experience here the other night. Went with 2 friends around 6pm. Plenty of room, staff was nice and friendly. The beer selection was real good, plenty of choices. One of the people I was with wanted a specific type of wine, and the waitress brought her 2 samples, unasked and unexpected. Extremely good customer service, that made me want to come back by itself. And the food is my type of food. I had the gumbo which I really enjoyed and the shrimp po'boy. Plenty of shrimp on the sandwich, the bun was tasty and the spices were outstanding. A draft beer, the gumbo and the sandwich for under $18, can't beat that with a stick. This will become one of my favorite places.
(4)Adam F.
Quickly becoming my place to stop after work and have a beer at the huge and beautiful bar. Catch up on worldly things and sports with one of the many TV's. Enjoy the entire menu from the chacturie(sp?) plate to the chicken and waffles. The beer list is extensive with local favorites and imports, draft and bottle. I enjoy the NOLA style and atmosphere. They have a great view of 5 points and windows that open when its nice out. A very nice addition to the 5 points community.
(4)Matt V.
Been here a few times. Great menu. We always try something new, and always get the hot chicken to at least share. Good beer selection and location.
(5)Terri H.
Chicken and Waffles We were in the area shopping and getting hungry. So what does any smart person do? We pulled up our Yelp APP on our phones to see what was in the area. This was a great place to get in out of the cold rain. The decor was lively and made this dreary day a bit brighter. Our waitress was great as we had excellent service. There were many tempting dishes to choose from on the menu but she had me with the special of the day. The special was chicken on a sweet potato waffle covered with a fruit sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the fruit sauce gave it the right amount of sweetness. This on the crispy melt in your mouth sweet potato waffle was delicious.
(4)Catherine L.
The crawfish gumbo was excellent. It had a dark roux, a deep flavor, and it was studded with chicken, crawfish, and some kind of pork. There was a nice scoop of yellow rice and little bread crisps as well. The skillet cornbread was flavorless. The same goes for the cassoulet that accompanied it. The small spinach salad was a good size. It had a pungent cheddar and some strawberries. I didn't like the maple bourbon vinagrette.
(3)Alec R.
This is my go to place in East Nashville to grab a beer and watch the game. Especially, on Thursdays and Sunday's when they have 2 for 1 drink specials. I haven't had much off of the menu other than the meatloaf sandwich, and that's because it's so good I haven't found the need to venture into anything else. The service is always great as well.
(5)Kat J.
Not at all up to snuff in cuisine, drink options, or atmosphere compared to the rest of the neighborhood. The customer service I received the night I ate here also had a lot to be desired. I wait tables for a living so it's hard for me to post these kind of reviews but I really did not enjoy my time here.

The best things in life happen by accident. I am convinced of that. One of my favorite places, Bricktop's, was discovered after having a horrible experience at Rumba across the street. In short - I was at Rumba for 45 minutes at the table with friends and couldn't get so much as a glass of water in that time. So, we left and walked right across the street to Bricktop's and the rest is history. Last night I went to Tenn-Sixteen by accident. Not like the 'oops, I fell into your restaurant' accident. But, by poor planning on my part accident. If you read have read my reviews before - you know that one tuesday nights a group of my friends and I go out to eat together. Its our little dinner club. We vote on where to go ahead of time and then meet there at the designated time and place. This week we picked 'Five Points Pizza'. Little did we know that it was closed on Tuesdays and only on Tuesdays. Whoops! Never thought it would be closed on a Tuesday. Whatever. So, we decided to go next door to Tenn-Sixteen. It looked nice inside and they were fairly slow so getting a table wasn't an issue and we were quickly seated. The server was great and kept up with our refills and making sure we had everything we needed. He even accommodated special requests. Like, they had a soup special on the menu board on the street for a bowl of 'Beer Cheese Soup'. Me, being from Kentucky and a lover of Kentucky Beer Cheese - I had to try it. But, I didn't want a whole bowl. A cup would do I thought. So, I asked if I could get a cup instead of a bowl. The server said no problem. For dinner - I was torn between the hot chicken and the chicken and waffles. So, I asked if maybe I could get the hot chicken on the waffle. Again, no problem. The Hot Chicken was as good as I have had anywhere honestly. It was hot - but hot with flavor - not just hot for the sake of being hot. It was very, very good. But, I paid the price this morning when I went to the restroom. Whoooooo...it lit me up! In all - the food was really good, the service was excellent and the pricing was right. I can't think of anything they could do any better which is why they get 5 stars from me. Way to go guys...Can't wait to come back. It was one of the better food experiences I have had recently - and it happened completely by accident.

Oh boy, this one is hard! I live down the street so I had to check it out. We went in for one drink and this is my preliminary assessment. Five stars because it is non-smoking. ( I would give it a billion stars if I could.) -2 stars because they do not currently offer 2-4-1 +1 because they plan to offer numerous different types of slushy drinks. -1 because of the menu (I'm not in love with it.) With that said, the place is new. It will grow, and change, and I have faith that it will be great one day! They have huge front windows that open and the place is spotless. The oval-ish bar is friendly and the TV's are fantastic. They also have a quaint lounge area in the back. The only thing missing from the room is a TV. Stay tuned for an update.
(3)Stacey T.
Very cool bar with a great Happy Hour. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, though only rang in some of our drinks at the advertised Happy Hour rate of a dollar off everything. She had already swiped our card so we didn't address it. The rates were still decent compared to other places in the area.
(4)Adria R.
We really liked the buy one get one Thursday. Great beer selection. Hoping they would have beer flights available, but one of the wait staff said they were working on it. The gumbo was very good. Overall a good vibe, friendly service, and we would return.
(4)Lisa T. F.
Had to try the Hot Chicken and waffles! Was an experience. The hot chicken was hot. The combo was interesting and really good. The best pardon the meal for me was the fried pickles-delicious! Beautiful interior and fantastic service.
(4)Stephanie C.
So excited to see a different flavor of food. They specialize in New Orleans style cuisine with poboys & gumbo. They have a great draft beer selection & some of the best margraitas we've tried. The bar is huge with tons of seating but they don't have a lot of tables so they fill up fast. The TV's also face the side walls so depending on where you sit you might not be able to see them. Great that it's the another local owner!
(3)Motke D.
This is one of my favorite places in East Nashville, which is saying a lot. Good prices, and the deep fried pork chop sandwich with bacon sometimes sends me texts in the middle of the night reminding me how delicious it is. Everything I've had here has been great. Delicious fries, too.
(5)Jenifer G.
I did not mind paying dinner prices for lunch! The shrimp and grits are fantastic, de-veined shrimp, lots of pieces of sausage, and a big hunk of grits in a smooth, well-seasoned sauce. It's enough to share if you really like the other person a lot. I ordered the meatloaf and it and the sauces were yummy, and I am really not a sauce person. I am also not a deviled egg fan, but the varieties were worth trying and I was happy that I did. The mashed potatoes were less pleasing than I had anticipated, but that was a minor dent in what was a dynamite meal.
(4)Julie C.
I like it here. I've been here a few times and had really good service. The drinks are always great and the food is good too. It's not fancy or anything special but if I want that I'll go to Kayne Prime. This place is everything I'd expect a bar to be.
(4)Lindy B.
My boyfriend and I decided to check this place out for an early Saturday evening dinner. I'll have to agree with some other Yelpers and say that the decor is kind of lame. The space is nice though and I liked the bar. We sat at the bar and Brittney and another girl (didn't catch her name) took great care of us. I had a glass of wine and the meatloaf sandwich. The sandwich was REALLY, REALLY good! It was a huge portion of spicy, tangy meatloaf, gorgonzola cheese, crisp lettuce, and creamy avocado slices to balance out the spiciness of the meatloaf. And let's not forget the soft, yummy bun! The bf got the chicken and waffles and of course I tried it and it was really good, too. 2 huge boneless chicken breasts and a big Belgian waffle. This place is 21+ after 4:30 so I'm guessing it becomes more of a bar atmosphere instead of a restaurant?? Seems a little weird because their menu is definitely not your average bar food. Either way the food we had was awesome and I wouldn't mind coming back for an early dinner to try a few more things!
(4)Trista D.
TennSixteen was so good that I went two Saturdays in a row to try something new. The first time I had the pork chop sandwich. SO GOOD! Everything was fresh and hot. The second time I had the chicken and waffles with hot chicken and it was also really good. No complaints as it relates to the food. Service was pretty slow both times I went (remember, it wasn't crowded at all the first time), which was the only downside. All in all, of definitely isit TennSixteen again.
(4)Nate D.
This place is amazing. I try to not habitually go to one restaurant, but this one I just can't help myself. The MEATLOAF SAMMICH is amazing. The deviled eggs are also... really you can't go wrong here in my opinion. Good beer selection. Smoking section upstairs and to the back. Enjoy!
(5)Matthew J.
This is my first time coming out here my friends insisted I try the meatloaf though I ended up getting the east Nashville salad with grilled shrimp. Food was good though I had a salad so not going to read into it. 2-4-1 drinks Thursdays. I would bring any of my co workers or out of town friends here as a place to meet up. Cleaner than 3 crow and has a great vibe. ( Not hating on 3 crow just saying it has a modern feel and not as crowded.)
(4)Tennessee P.
Did brunch here a while back with 3 other people that often choose their food item based on what alcohol they started drinking when they woke up. Errrybody got something different to eat. Errrrybody loved it. The chicken + waffle were the consensus winner, however. Service was great. Good, lively, local crowd. Well placed TVs around bar. Drinks were great. The whole deal was pretty well priced too. Look forward to going back for brunch again and probably some other meals. This is a great place with a good vibe.
(4)Esther L.
I've been to Tenn Sixteen twice, once for dinner and another time for drinks during a football game. Both times, I have enjoyed the beer selection, as well as the food that I sampled: the shrimp po' boy, creamy potato soup, meatloaf sandwich, and fried pickles. The food is heavy, save for a few token (read: not super appealing) salads, so prepare a healthy snack beforehand, if you're trying to keep things in balance. Subbing salad for fries with a sandwich is a steep $3 onto food that already seems a bit overpriced ($11-16/sandwich). All said, the 2 for 1 beer and liquor special was a motivator for visiting on a Sunday, and I'm sure we'll be back to indulge again!
(3)Timothy H.
I have been meaning to review Tenn Sixteen for sometime, but wanted to wait until I had the full experience. Good spot to watch NFL Sunday Ticket: My wife and I would come here during the football season to catch the Pats games. Its a good spot for Sunday ticket: not too crowded, have 8 TVs, so if you get there early you can usually pick your game before they set up the spots, and they have a terrific beer selection with 2-1 on Sundays during the games. The downside (for Sundays) is that you can really only see 4 games on either side of the bar, so if one of the games you are interested happens to be on the other side, you are out of luck. Also, they only serve brunch on Sundays until 3:00pm, so even if you want something a bit more substantial (to pair with a beer during the game perhaps) you are left with mostly breakfast options until the second game. Their brunch is actually fantastic (bananas foster french toast and chicken & waffles are both great), I'm just usually not in a brunch mood during a football game. Good spot for dinner: We have now gone to Tenn Sixteen for dinner twice, and both times we were very impressed with the experience, from the food to the service. The ambiance is fantastic on a nice cool evening when they open up the large windows to the street. The food is a nice blend of southern comfort food with some new orleans style creole options. The fried green tomatoes are an outstanding appetizer. My wife's favorite menu item was the shrimp and grits, which are creamy with plenty of cheese and just a little bit of spice. I found what might be my favorite sandwich in Nashville: the meatloaf sandwich. My expectations weren't that high, I like meatloaf, but it certainly isn't my favorite dish. But this sandwich is like a gourmet burger on steroids. Gorgonzola and a smoked tomato aioli give the sandwich a ton of character, and add in bacon with the meatloaf and you have yourself a contender. I highly recommend giving this sandwich a try. Overall, I would certainly recommend checking out Tenn Sixteen! Now we just need to get that meatloaf sandwich on the brunch menu...
(4)Alisha V.
I didn't get to eat here because we waited so long, we left. I have a wheelchair accessible uncle and we called ahead of time to see if there was access. They said yes. That was a lie. They had ONE table that would've been even remotely appropriate. So we had to wait for about 45 minutes and there was no room at all. But they had open booths that these people could sit in. The hostesses were CLUELESS. If they thought about it even a second, they would've sat people in the tables in the booths. they didn't really give a sh*t at all. I'm pretty upset about it. Probably won't go back.
(1)Megan M.
Like most newer places, I think this one went through a little transitional settling in period. But I really like what they've done with the place and definitely recommend trying it. I've seen some negative comments about the decor. I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. It's bright and fun and colorful. I went to New Orleans for the first time earlier this year, and appreciate the Nola influence. Everything I've had to eat here has been really good. From the appetizers, I LOVE the fried pickles (thin, crispy, and juicier than any I've ever had before), the crawfish cake, and fried green tomatoes. They're topped with crab, a delicious touch. For meals, I really like the gumbo, salads, and meatloaf sandwich. Their menu like their decor has a Cajun influence, which is a good addition to the restaurants at Five Points. I really like the overall vibe here. It's open, airy, and smoke-free. There's a huge bar in the center of the restaurants with tons of TV's to watch the game and good bartenders with a nice selection of draft beer.
(4)Matthew B.
I had the meatloaf dinner and it was excellent. This place also has very good beers on tap as well as a great atmosphere. The one negative was the service. Our waitress came to check on is maybe twice in an hour and a half while we were there. We waited extra long for our second drink order and continuously had empty water and soda. Overall, this place has great potential.
(4)Joshua L.
This a is a great spot. Ordered the shrimp poboy and the house sauce was delicious. Real Cool atmosphere also
(4)Louis M.
Hands down best sandwiches in Nashville. Fried pork chop, meatloaf, fried bologna, BLT are all amazing (ranked in order). The gorgonzola stuffed meatloaf is a must have also. I've been here more times than any other place in Nashville and I'll keep going back.
(5)Nicholas M.
Outstanding food and service. Was recommended the fried pork sammich with the sauce from the hot chicken. Literally one of the best (super spicy) meals I've ever had. The flavors were complex despite the heat. Great recommendation and should be on the menu.
(5)Dustin M.
Cool bar... Really bad service. Sat down in a table and no one came to take a food or drink order for over 45 min.
(1)Joy M.
I'd try it again because I liked my food and the manager did a good job at making up for completely inattentive service. Hubs has been here several times and he said he'd never had bad service so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was an anomaly.
(3)Jen W.
Stopped by last week for a little Sunday Funday and 2 for 1 drinks and brunch. Upon getting our bills we noticed we were charged for both Bloody Marys totaling $14. When asking the waitress about the extra charges, she shrugged her shoulders as if this got brought up often and said, "well actually it's two drinks in one glass so you guys technically drank four bloody Mary's". Whuuuut?! Good gosh. I think I'll be checking out a different Sunday funday spot where I'm not fooled into drinking two drinks at the same time. Sorry, tenn sixteen.
(2)David C.
Sunday fun day brunch had the chicken and waffles half hot-half not. Wicked good, but definitely spicyq though not inedible by any means. Had two for one Schlafly Kolsch beers and they were also perfect. Music selection was great and that open window with today's weather just made this my new Sunday treat. Ill be back for sure.
(4)Melissa B.
OK is all I can say about it... I read a few reviews and thought since I was in the neighborhood visiting the farmers market at the high school I would stop in to catch a football game and grab something...best part of fall...Football on all the tvs in all the bars.. Well this was a bar...definitely large, bright and airy. The windows big and open, letting in the cool fall day..it was Saturday about noon and it was not crowded so we said, why not!! We had already decided to eat next door at Five Points but we thought we would stop in and maybe grab an appetizer and drink...lol !!! The prices scared the crap out of me!!! $7 to $12 for appetizers and so far nothing jumping out at me as I HAVE TO TRY...but the prices jumped off the page...too high for me!! So our really friendly waitress came over and took our drink order. Tony was disappointed that the Budweiser was only in a bottle and not on Tap..he prefers Draft beer while watching football on the big screen in the bar..He can watch Big Screen Television and drink bottle beer at home..much cheaper...lol!! So he took the bottle of beer only $3 and i ordered Coca Cola.. We might go back...Can't really guarantee.. There are a lot of restaurants and pubs in the area with the same food on the menu..will try them first before going back here!!! But you try it.. You might like it!!!
(3)Nina G.
Terrible service. Great TVs. And they have the beer my bf likes, but ladies - order your dressing on the side, otherwise ask for a spoon because your salad is now a soup.
(2)Jes S.
We stopped in to check this place out while exploring the 5 points area of East Nashville. Great location! And a great selection of beers! We went on a Friday afternoon and their was a good lunch crowd. The BLT was good and was unique with roasted red peppers and a yummy sauce. Served with fries that were also tasty! Looking forward to return and checking out more menu items.
(4)Carolyn M.
I always want to like an East Nashville spot, and I tried, I really did. But the decor was an eyesore for me, we sat at the bar with no service for 7 minutes while the bartender chatted with a friend, and the food was mediocre at best. Had the trio of deviled eggs and the fried one is Rubbermaid, I'm pretty sure. Also, at 2 pm on a Sunday, why must I eat breakfast food? We hightailed it after one drink and will try again in six months.
(2)Julia D.
I really want to love this place but after going 3 or 4 times now, I have to say that the food just isn't very good. I've had the chicken & waffles, fried green tomato sandwich, Bavarian pretzels, shrimp po boy, and deviled eggs...none of which I would recommend. The fried green tomatoes are particularly disappointing, bland, and taste like they they came from the freezer. My friend tried the East Nashville Salad and said it was one of the worst salads she ever had. The granola tastes like it came from the cereal aisle at Kroger and the combination of cinnamon with red onions and gorganzola just wasn't good. I've been told by friends that the meatloaf and blackened catfish are good. I will say that it is a perfect sports bar! Great place to grab a drink and watch a game. Their beer selection is awesome! Just skip the food and pick up a pizza next door at Five Points Pizza on your way home.
(2)Michelle P.
It was just ok. I did like the flair of the gumbo. I was just stopping in for a quick snack. I felt the beer prices were more expensive than a few other places I hang in the area. I can imagine this place being crowded during sports because they have large tv's inside. For me, it was just a sleepy Saturday. I'm in no hurry to return.
(3)Danny B.
Nice place!!
(4)KC S.
My husband (who is a craft beer fanatic) suggested that we go here on a Saturday afternoon because he had heard there were some unique beers there. We went around 3pm on a Saturday and were seated right away. I think the feel of the place is fun and hip. I personally thought the mardi gras bead chandeliers were fun and playful. I ordered a glass of wine, which was decent. Not the best selection of wines by the glass. The waitress was really nice and brought my husband a couple of samples of beers so he could decide what he wanted to drink. She also mentioned that they have some kind of special relationship with Lagunitas Brewery, which really intrigued my husband. They had perviously had a Laugunitas beer that is hard to find in TN on tap, but had run out by the time we got there. We ordered fried green tomatoes to munch on and they were great! We also ordered beignets which were good, but not what I would call a traditional beignet. They were more open faced, but still delicious. Overall, I would go back there and it is a fun place to get a drink in East Nashville.
(4)Damien B.
Hot Chicken & Waffles. Just trust me. Sounds gross, but couldn't be further from the truth. They also have a great local beer selection.
(4)Ashley S.
The spinach salad is amazing, as are the oysters. We eat here about once a week and it is consistently fresh, delicious and friendly.
(5)Jill R.
So the first time we checked this place out, I was disappointed. Admittedly, it was during their soft opening, but the food was just "meh", especially for the prices. I didn't think it was BAD.....it just wasn't good either. The shrimp po boy I ordered was mostly bread and light on the shrimp. Just not worth the price, in my opinion. Our experience was so "meh", that it kept me from coming back, despite friends insisting it had changed. I finally ventured back in last night when looking for a place on the East side to watch the Preds game. We were able to get great seats at the bar, and the two for one drink specials sealed the deal. We ordered fried pickles for an appetizer, and these were maybe some of the best fried pickles I've had in Nashville. So good! We also sampled the charcuterie plate and chicken and waffles, both of which were fantastic. The charcuterie plate had some great local meat and cheese options on it, and was A LOT of food for the price. Needless to say, my opinion has changed and I'll be back. I still won't order the po boy again, but now I know there are enough other great options on the menu to keep me coming back. Definitely check it out if you're on the East side and looking for a great non-smoking option to get dinner and watch a game.
(4)Kelli J.
The Shrimp and Grits were VERY good! Generous portion, shrimp not overdone as they are at many restaurants. The sauce was just spicy enough with chunks of very tasty andouille in it. I also had the dinner Caesar salad which was perfect! Just enough dressing with house made cornbread croutons and a sprinkling of FRESH grape tomatoes, unusual, maybe for a Caesar, but I love tomatoes and when they taste fresh picked you can't go wrong!!
(5)Steven Y.
The server was great and extremely personable, the food was too pricey in my opinion and portion size was small. Big heads up to anyone who loves hot chicken, they do not have what we would call Nashville Hot Chicken. It is sloppy and barely has any recognizable flavor,taste, ingredients or crispiness. If they are reading this please either find a way to make it better or take it off the menu because no one should have that experience for Nashville Hot Chicken. My friend sampled it and thought likewise. Other food was decent but left a lot to be desired.
(2)Adele J.
First visit today. Went for lunch. The service was great, food was awesome. Had a Sloppy Joe, which was a special and it was truly special. Made with meatloaf and a mildly spicy sauce on a great bun. The deviled egg appetizer was good. I have never eaten a fried deviled egg before. I really liked this place and will def go back.
(4)Tom A.
Great place for a drink or food. The Nashville salad with blackened/grilled chicken is my favorite.
(5)Amber B.
I had really high hopes for this place, living close to 5 points and loving Cajun food, but have been disappointed every time I've visited. The servers are super friendly, but the food quality is lacking. We had "spicy" "fried" pickles that were neither spicy nor crunchy at all. Ugh. The Po Boy has waaaay too big of a baguette for a good shrimp to bread ratio. The "blackened" catfish wasn't blackened at all and had barely any flavor. I've had to send food back (which I've probably only done 5 times in my whole life) twice for being cold. The beignets are more won-ton than beignet on a good day. Oh and it's f'n FREEZING in this place. I have my fingers crossed that some quality control and a new chef steps in.
(2)Jessica R.
Great brunch and service. I had the fried green tomato sandwhich and fries....a pretty spicy meal but it was good! John was a great server....
(5)Lindsay K.
This is one of my favorite places in Nashville. All of the food I have ever tried here has been fantastic. Their chicken & waffles are the best I've ever tasted & I get them every time I go there for brunch. Then one night I came in for a late dinner and my friend and I split the hot chicken (definitely big enough to share), and it was soooo good. My favorite hot chicken I've tried to date. So, the next time I went in I asked if they would do hot chicken & waffles, and they said yes! It was amazing. They don't offer different spiciness levels, and I like spicy food and this chicken had my eyes watering, in a good way. It's not spicy just for the sake of being spicy. It also has great flavor. They also do 2-for-1 drinks on Sundays, and if you don't want a second drink, they'll just give you a token to use for a free drink at a different time. There's a pretty big patio in the back that I'm excited to check out now that it's getting warm.
(5)Cynthia S.
We went to Tenn Sixteen last nIght and it was delicious. The special was pork shanks, and they were wonderful! The server had excellent suggestions of beer to go with them. He was also very good and attentive with service without hovering.
(4)Adam C.
I struggle to actually enjoy it. I'm a big fan of the Classy sports bar vibe it has on Sundays during NFL season and the 2 for 1 drinks in a smoke free environment. I feel however that the menu is over-priced and has nothing I really feel the need to keep coming back for. Staff seems really genuine and helpful though!
(3)Josh W.
This place is sweet. The servers are all awesome, especially Abby. The beer is a great price and the beer list is huge. If you're looking for a great drink, visit dave at the bar. I've had just about everything on the menu and it's always fantabulous and a reasonable price. And they have just about any sporting event you want to watch one of their tv's. I'll be going back a lot. But if you're looking for Budweiser on tap, then I'd go somewhere else.

I have been here twice. Friendly service both times. Good drinks and good southern food.

I want all the good dining drinking options possible in the nasty.... Market research would have told these guys they are off the mark trying to put a place like this in east nasty. Frat party NOLA inspired yuppie bar masquerading as a restaurant. The place is cheesier than a Wisconsin creamery with beads and the place smells to tires. There is nothing original or unique to this place. The only and I mean only thing it offers is a smoke free alternative to the crow and yet it isn't a proper bar. This was someone's dream of a bar but forgot to do market research. This is not an east nasty place. Diagnosis: terminal. 18 months tops..

Eh, overpriced but pretty decent. The creamed spinach was probably the highlight of our dinner, which doesn't say much about a restaurant. The meatloaf was alright, though you kind of cant go wrong with meatloaf. Beer selection was solid, though I'm currently on the wagon. I doubt I'll be spending much time here, although I would like to try a daytime meal or drink.

I'm not one to write bad reviews.... Case and point I've never once after many visits been anything but disappointed with this place but have not given it a bad review until now. The food? Greasy, bland and poorly executed. The drinks? Unimpressive at best. So why have I continued to give this place my business? Good question! It's one of the few nonsmoking establishments in five points. I have enjoyed having a place to catch up with my girlfriends and then go home to my husband and infant without smelling like an ashtray. Conversely I have enjoyed having a neighborhood restaurant that I can walk to with my husband and our infant. That was until today.... 7pm on a Monday, out for a family stroll with the baby asleep from our walk we decided to stop in before we made our way home, only to be turned away because we had our child with us. Thankfully we walked to The Treehouse around the corner and they welcomed us with open arms (sleeping baby in a stroller and all!) the food and drinks were literally 1000x better than anything we would have had at Tenn Sixteen. All's well that ends well, I'm glad to know who values my business and has a far superior product - thanks again to The Treehouse for a lovely evening!

A little pricey food, but drinks aren't anything other than average priced...sundays are 2-4-1's which is mainly why I go here. This is a CLEAN non smokey bar in east nashville and has a great vibe. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

We stopped in here on a Sunday to rest our feet, and watch some football. What a nice place! The staff was very friendly, the drink selection was great, and they prices were right! First off, for Sunday they had 8 (I think) neatly labeled tvs, so you could easily find your favorite team. The drink special was 2 for 1, which was awesome. The drink list was great, some local and some national smaller beer brands. They had Atlanta's Sweetwater Blue, which was great. The atmosphere and staff were happy and friendly. Only complaint is that on Sunday they had NFL specials, but a brunch style menu. So the bar food and light snacks were lacking.

Meatloaf sandwich is great. Louisiana themed menu. Around 10 beers on draft. Gumbo on the menu as well. Will take a while for the name to catch but could be another cool place to eat and drink in east Nashville come fall.

For those who have a sweet tooth, the frozen bellinis are delicious. I ordered the BBQ chicken, fried okra, and mac n cheese. The chicken and okra were good not great, but the mac n cheese was fantastic. The portions were generous. The wait staff is very friendly. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Ok so if you want service, don't come here. We waited at the bar for about 5 min before we were even greeted. All the bar tenders were too busy chatting. One of us ordered a beer, one asked for water. No water came. The only other time we were spoken to was when she came to grab our menus away and ask if we still needed them.

Went back for a second time today because I was craving the shrimp Po Boy I had the first time. I wish I had known before we sat down and ordered drinks that they were only serving brunch today (Sunday). I didn't care for the crabs benedict. I wish there were no red peppers in the crab cakes and that the Hollandaise wasn't mixed with the potatoes. Also, it really wasn't enough food. At least the mixed drink was above average. Please ditch brunch you guys and lean more towards Cajun. Take a look at the menu of the restaurant/bar, The Blind Tiger in Shreveport, LA.

My two daughter, boyfriend, and husband enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch in East Nashville last week! I love the bright open feeling of the dining room, the NOLA decor is fun, the wait staff is friendly and helpful, the food was fabulous, and I love that it is non-smoking! Great job and good luck as a new restaurant !

A $10,000+ plank of bubinga wood on the circular bar contrasts whimsically with the cheap Mardi Gras bead chandeliers. I mean its like a French Quarter gastropub without the smoke. Bubbly Tenn Sixteen Food & Drink Co. is now the best pub in 5 Points considering its wine list, 17 craft beers on tap and fine food. The cajun influence continues in the southern sourced gourmet foood. Nashvilles' finest beignets with mascarpone cream and Whisper Creek chocolate will literally melt in your mouth! The Tenn Sixteen classic muffaletta sandwich consists of tapenade, prosciutto, mortadella and the usual other ingredients. I mean It. Is. Classic! Other N'Orleans favorites feature jumbo prawns, and crawfish cakes or gumbo. The Crawfish Gumbo is made with Jackalope Red Ale, but won't make you tipsy; glad but not tipsy. Tennessee brews are available at the reddish-brown wood bar or with table service. Nashville area craft beers on tap also include Yazoo, Turtle Anarchy and Mayday.

I have been there twice in the last 2 months and the food was great. Service was outstanding. If you are in 5 points I say go.

Yawn. Chicken and waffles 5 years after they were fab. The weird hours will be a problem for most folks (11 to 3).

Love this place! It's different than anywhere else in the area, there's a ton of beers to choose from (draft and especially bottle). We sat at the bar for a late lunch and the service was awesome! My daughter was in a rush so she was advised on the quickest things to order. She had a shrimp po boy and I had shrimp and grits. The sandwich was too big for her to pick up but she ate the shrimp with a bite of bread and it was fine. Mine was amazing! I want to try other things on the menu but I am also going to want this dish every time! It will definitely be my go to dish. I got a couple of to go orders of grilled chicken and the pork chop and both parties were extremely happy and can't wait to visit themselves. I really don't understand the previous comments of not impressed with the menu or being too expensive or not having Bud on draft.......get outside of your box! Food is awesome, different than anywhere else in the area and well worth the money and a beer variety that would please anyone!!!!! I can not wait to go back!!!!
