Restaurants

In three words: mexican, cheap, popular

Battered and Fried

Restaurants

In three words: boston, seafood, sushi

Josh says: the subtitle is "Boston Seafood House featuring fried seafood, spirits, and a raw oyster bar". Same owner as Beyond the Edge. Also has a sushi bar inside.

The inside is like a Bostonion tavern with more windows. The food quality is great, and the presentation of the fried dishes is in a newspaper with brown paper bag format.

Address: 1008 Woodland St

Beyond the Edge

Restaurants

In three words: on tap, late night, smoking

Josh says: Great for lunch. Loves East Nashville. Very large selection of beers on tap. Can be quite smoky on the inside at night, but there's also a patio. They are open really late too.

Address: 112 S 11th St. (kinda across from Bongo Java)

Mad Donna's

Restaurants

ls-maddonnas-logos In three words: fine, American, diva

Summary: Mad Donna's is this interesting blend between American food, feeling a little upscale (but not expensive), and a shout out to divas (diva = think Cher).

It's a good place to eat and has a nice patio.

My personal favorite dish was the Black Bean burger, a house-specialty vegeterian burger.

Address: 1313 Woodland St.

Mitchell's Deli

Restaurants

In three words: very, good, sandwiches

Josh says: I only had one sandwich, but it was great. Other friends call it their favorite place to eat. The indoor atmosphere is great, and there's a shared back patio, 'Riverside Village'.

Address: 1402 McGavock Pike

Pied Piper Eatery

Restaurants

In three words: retro, diner, creative

The feel is a tribute to American music and pop culture. Every item is a music reference: Fleetwood Mac 'n Cheese, Members Only Club

Rosepepper Cantina

Restaurants

In three words: Sonoran, margaritas, green salsa

Josh says: A restaurant with food from Mexico, but not a Mexican restaurant in the "I'll have combination J" way. Very popular. Awesome appetizer chips with 3 types of salsa.

Seems to have a reputation for great margaritas, but I personally can't distinguish the quality of margaritas.

Rosepepper has been in the neighborhood for a while and loves East Nashville.

Address: 1907 Eastland Ave

Sky Blue Coffee and Bistro

Restaurants

In three words: omelettes, sidewalk, cafe

Sky Blue Coffee and Bistro is breakfasty joint that reminds me of Europe or colonial Mexico.

While it is a coffee place, it's mainly a sit down and order from the menu place.

Margot

Restaurants

In three words: gourmet, expensive, chef

Josh says: You probably need a reservation. This is the finest restaurant in East Nashville, and people drive in from all over Middle Tennessee. We've only gone once, and it was as good it's reputation.

Address: 1017 Woodland St

Bolton's Spicy Chicken and Fish

Restaurants

In three words: tiny, spicy, real

Bolton's is this little place on Main St. that serves spicy chicken and fish out of a little family kitchen.

How it works: Go up to the side, where there are bars over a window and the menu. Hit the doorbell. A guy will come out of the kitchen to help you. You can either order carry-out from the window, or be let in the front door. Inside is a couple tables, a TV (showing CNN when I visited), and a window AC unit.
