Brown's Diner

Yes I know it's a trailer. Yes I know the kitchen used to be an old street car. Yes I know this close to Hillsboro village you have a plethora of overhyped and overpriced restaurants which may seem better. All of them pale in comparison to Brown's. Brown's has an atmosphere that is tough to match nowadays in Nashville. With a Santa's Pub, a Batter's Box, and a Bobby's Idle Hour Tavern vibe, Brown's drives home the idea of what 15 years ago Nashville looked like. Most nights feature live music, the pitchers are some of the cheapest you will find in Nashville, and there is a recently expanded menu which does everything it serves well. As far as the restaurant itself the patio outside is awesome and they will give you the remote to watch whatever your heart desires. If you want to sit inside there is a dining room in the back as well as a good bit of bar seating. All of these areas are complimented by almost constant live music. The menu is pretty standard for what you would get at a typical southern restaurant but everything on it is excellent, especially the burger. If nothing else sells you the beer pitchers are dirt cheap, so at the very least start your night out at Brown's.

The food is ALWAYS GREAT…. The service is ALWAYS FANTASTIC….. even if you get take out they are ALWAYS PHENOMENAL .. The chili / hush puppies made them famous and it will keep them famous. There are a lot of great options on the menu and you won’t regret any of them. TIP YOUR BARTENDER BECAUSE HE IS “THE MAN”….

Dropped in from out of town for a quick late lunch. We had the cheeseburger and grilled cheese and bacon, which were delicious. And, although we ordered Lay's chips (which were in extra large bags!), the server also gave us a plate of tots. Nice atmosphere and good service. The server mentioned they'll be expanding the menu. We will have to come back the next time we're out this way.

Great local spot with live music! We walked over from an Airbnb for lunch - burgers, tots, fries, hush puppies - all really good and hit/fresh from kitchen (which is a truck beside the patio/alley). Our server nailed it. He was super low key and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. There was a solo singer/guitarist playing in the (very) small bar area at lunch. There’s a family room area and a large, seemingly new, porch/deck area, too. The place has been around since the 1920s for good reason!
