The Best Restaurant in 12 South, Nashville

Located on the site of a former car wash, Urban Grub is now a sophisticated dining space serving seafood and locally sourced meat that's cured in-house. Wait times can soar to two hours, so reservations are strongly encouraged, especially if you're coming with a large group, but there is also seating available at the bar and oyster bar. The patio and beer garden are popular spots when the weather is nice; the oversized outdoor fireplace is used for cooking during some special events.
