Urban Grub is a casual fine dining bar and eatery located in a renovated carwash in Nashville’s iconic 12 South district.

The design of the restaurant features a rustic elegance, filled with custom woodwork, stone fireplaces and rounded booths tucked in intimate corners. Urban Grub offers both indoor and outdoor seating with a combination of the two in the beer garden, accompanied a view of the restaurant’s meat curing room, as well as a covered gazebo for larger parties.

From the inviting indoor-outdoor atmosphere to the elevated Southern cuisine of fresh seafood, house-made charcuterie, and prime dry-aged steaks, the experience is unforgettable.

    We had such high expectations based on others reviews. The only good thing we had was the crab beignets and the free biscuits. I ordered the ribeye which came out completely burnt and unseasoned. My wife got the crab cakes and she said they were fine, nothing too special. We also ordered the mushrooms as a side which tasted like they were from a can and the beef fat fries which were soggy. For dessert we got the cheesecake which was fine. The sweet tea tasted like it had been left out all day. Sadly probably wont return based on this experience that cost $250 to not even be slightly impressed.

    We were back at Urban Grub for the first time in 6 years. (We're out of towners.) It was just a good as we remembered. The food was outstanding, from the cheeses on the charcuterie board to the crab cakes and double-cut pork chop entrees. The best thing of all was the service. Ryan was our server and made great recommendations. The hostess who greeted us when we arrived was so thoughtful. She saw that we were there to celebrate our anniversary and made it a point to wish us a Happy Anniversary. UG and Ryan were kind enough to deliver a special anniversary treat for us after dinner, as well. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was nice seeing several other families who were also there celebrating one thing or another or simply having a wonderful meal together.

    We had an amazing experience at Urban Grub! From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm and welcoming. Whisper and James were our servers and they were absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel like valued guests. The food was outstanding, full of flavor and beautifully presented. We never felt rushed, which made the whole afternoon even more enjoyable. We also lucked out with a great table, and it was clear that everyone working there was happy to be doing what they do. All around, a top-notch brunch—we’ll definitely be back!

    Weekend brunch buffet is fabulous. Very fresh seafood (oysters, shrimp, crab legs), charcuterie meats and cheeses, salad, fruit, donut holes. Food and service were both top notch.

    Every dish was delicious. We ordered most of the sides to share, all were generous and tasty. Pork chop was amazing and huge. Excellent service and attention to detail. Would go again tomorrow

    We sat at a very nice table in the dining room. The server was courteous and knowledgable about the menu. I had the red snapper and it was very good. Margarita was also good.

    we LOVED the food, it was incredible. the shrimp and grits was one of the best things i’ve ever had. whisper was wonderful and we enjoyed her. however, james is a clown. i’ve never been in a restaurant where a server is yelling nonstop at the tables and bragging about how great he is so they ‘should just trust him’. there were multiple times i had to pause my conversation with my husband until james left the room. truly bizarre.
