Merchants Restaurant

A must if downtown, for food OR drinks! Beautiful space, people-watching out the windows, & excellent bartenders crafting quality cocktails . Try the Amaretto Sour! And the duck fat tots , of course.

Everything we had was amazing! The service is spot on! The Lemon Tart was to die for, the goat cheese on the kale salad was the best I've ever had! Already wanting to go back!

Great cocktails and chicken fried chicken . Tater tots are the best ever. For a more quiet dinner , sit outside or in the room adjacent to the bar

Can't go wrong with the bar or the food. Amazing selection of craft beers and 10-25 year aged whiskey and bourbons . The soups are great. I recommend the Tomato Basil .

Great location downtown Nashville. Bar staff is knowledgable and very nice. Food was exceptional and a variety of choices.

This restaurant has been around for over 25 years and has an old-timey, classic feel with tasty drinks and fresh food . A solid option if you find yourself hungry on lower Broadway. Read more

Duck fat tater tots were pretty good. Had the salmon blt and crawfish gumbo . A little under seasoned. Great service however. Popcorn was delicious and clever

Turkey club was delicious. Service was great, Waiters very friendly . Atmosphere loud and friendly . Works for casual or upscale .

Great food and atmosphere. One of the more fine dining options on the main drag of Broadway. Excellent steak options.

Everything is delicious! Go upstairs for the nicer fare- truffled gnocchi Mac and cheese , and fried Brussels are TO DIE FOR

Best Moscow Mule ever! Made with their house made ginger syrup . Garnished with candied ginger ! ????????????????

Fish tacos were awesome! Good experience. I went alone and had a good time m was less appropriate for a business lunch because it's loud

We ate at the bar . Best popcorn ever. Free while you wait for your meal. It has a ranch powder coating. Delicious!

Loved the fine dining experience. Had the beef dish , amazing all around. My husband had the porkchop , meat was great, but beans were undercooked.

Seriously, awesome service! Also, I can't say enough how good the fish tacos are :)

The southern fry is a can't-miss appetizer . Loved the brisket . Cocktails were only alright, I'd skip them next time.

A little pricier , but absolutely worth it. Had a veggie burger with house-made chips and a salad ; incredible. A total must.

Thick cut bacon . It could be the best thing you ever ate, and if it was the last, you could die happy.

Top notch customer service , loved the decor, great music selection, good drinks and tasty food. Well done!

Server jay was great! Really good tots .. The fish taco and salmon blt was great as well

Nice bourbon selection , but they were out of the Pappy when I stopped in... Fun and casual in the downstairs dining room, great bartenders and cocktails

Cool place to sit and people watch--grab a seat on the outside side patio if it's nice!

Southern Fry is a good try for southern cuisine . All what we had was great!

Merchant's has very great service and great food. I had a very lovely experience dining there for lunch .

Terrific duck fat tater tots and a nice Cobb. Great service and vibe too.

Locally brewed beer , local grass-fed beef , freshly squeezed juice cocktails , & a great server, Matt. We happened to wander into a winner!

Really good food, perfect service, nice interior! Not like any other restaurant on broadway! Superb atmosphere!

Gin gin mule for drink. Chicken fried chicken for meal and chocolate desert

Sit at the street level . Great atmosphere and food. Knowledgeable and attentative staff/bartenders

Right in the heart of the action. Casual downstairs, more upscale upstairs.

Order the baked cheese to dip the duck fat tots in to reach peak happiness.

We dined upstairs and it was ok. The waiters attitude did not improve the taste of the food. I was told the downstairs menu is awesome, so save your money and dine there!

Pimento cheese spread was phenomenal — comes with homemade chips !

There are two bartenders named Josh. Ask either one for a Vieux Carre. Amazing drink! Those guys are the best bartenders in Nashville.

Great pulled pork sandwich . No beer on tap , but great whiskey selection

Slightly more upscale spot amongst the honky tonks. Whiskey menu is solid, as is food. Service leaves something to be desired.

Great for lunch . Relaxed atmosphere and great food. Chicken fried chicken amazing.

Excellent service at the bar from Bradley !!! Awesome!!!

Duck fat tater tots are to die for!

The bar has the best selection of bourbons and ryes in Nashville

So good I went there twice. Steak and frites ftw and Yazoo hefeweizen .

The blackened tilapia is to die for! Get the duck fat tater tots too.

Recommend the beef tartare starter followed by the dry aged ribeye . Truly solid.

The food was okay. I had higher expectations. Looks like a fancy restaurant but their food presentation wasn't the greatest. If I wasn't so hungry, I probably would have found somewhere else to eat.

Merchants’ contemporary Southern food and spectacular service is sure to please!

Service, food, atmosphere all exceptional

Chicken fried chicken is a must

The food downstairs is amazing! Fish tacos , duck fat tator tots and fried chicken are a must have!

The brisket is yummy. Also, fantastic cocktails with creative twists.

Duck fat tots ! Great cocktails , particularly the Sazerac .
