A perfect example of Nashville’s diverse dining scene is Nolensville Pike. With just a straight out-and-back from downtown – a drive of less than a dozen miles total – it is possible to travel culinarily around the world. Increasingly popular, Nolensville Pike draws locals and tourists alike, little wonder the number of restaurants and the assortment of cuisines along this vibrant strip continue to expand. There are far more worthy choices along Nolensville than we have room to cover here; it would literally take a book. Nevertheless, here are some standouts for flavor and flair; vibe and authenticity.
