I found this place randomly, and will say that I’m super glad I did! Were work looking for Black-owned soul food joints and came across this spot while searching on google. When we arrived, we were greeted with such kindness. The people that work there, including the customers also getting food, were extremely friendly. It reminded me of all the love you get when you’re at a church/family lunch. The food here was so good. I had the fried chicken and mac, and don’t regret it! The fried chicken was the best I’ve tried in a very long time and what impressed. The mac was creamy and cheesy. The mac was a little bit on the sweeter side, the first time I’ve tried it like this and it was too good! I’d recommend eating here if you visit Nashville, TN.

I want to thank our brotha Jelly Roll for this historic recommendation via News Channel 5 last Thanksgiving. This classic soul food restaurant has the best in restaurant stuffing I have ever had. Hands Down! I don’t eat stove top nor do I eat a lot of restaurant stuffing. This is a dish no matter who makes it, will almost always taste made in your house with your own effort. I say all that in the last paragraph to illustrate how good I know their in house stuffing taste. To date, I love everything I have had to eat & I already told the owners that Barr’s Music City Soul Food is my NATIONAL NUMBER 1 go to Soul Food Restaurant. I just met the folks their one time; first at bat they treated me like I knew them or was family. Had a regular come behind me & order as they just made me feel like I know them for ages. That kind of hospitality enhances the food because of the love you feel from the folks that prepare it.

This place was a religious experience. Everything I tasted just got better. I tasted the best coleslaw and meatloaf I have ever had in my life. The chicken was great, collard greens were awesome, potatoes were amazing. I can't sing its praises enough. You have to stop and try this, I'm coming back and I live 4 hours away.
