Walked in and was greeted by a young woman who when we said we were from the North got excited for us to try a true Southern Wild Game restaurant. I tried it all. Fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, gator tail, elk, frog’s legs, bison, catfish and more. Nothing disappointed. And it all tastes amazing .

I really cool place to eat right next to the Gaylord resort. So we got to try elk sliders and a bison burger. Both were wonderful. The fried corn on the cob was really good. The service was a little lacking, but Lori did a good job of trying to keep us in the right mood. The catfish was also a nice meal

I had really high expectations for the ribs. And don’t get me wrong, they are good. For some reason I anticipated that they smoked them using wood. They are slow cooked, but not slow smoked. Still, I finished a half rack with some very good okra and broccoli.

Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. The food was good, nothing tasted bad or was cold. The building itself was a bit warm for my family. However it was 90+ degrees outside. Seated right away and both of our servers(close to shift change) were awesome. Probably will return at some point and try a different wild game dish.

The service was not good. Our waitress only came to our table 3 times on her own accord…once to take our order, once to bring our food and once to bring the bill. I had to flag her down to get more tea and most of the time, she would hollar across the room, “y’all doing okay over there?” I did like the alligator and the fried green tomatoes we’re good. Fried fish was greasy and our food was hardly warm. I’m not sure that I’d go back unless I had a more attentive waitress and wanted alligator!

Best stop in Nashville so far! We started off with Fried Green Tomatoes and Gator Tail. Both had a delicious dipping sauce. The apps were absolutely scrumptious, served hot and fresh, and came out quickly. We both had the Elk Sliders with Fried Okra and Campfire Potatoes. Oh my. Those taters. Smothered in well caramelized onions and cooked to perfection. So yummy. Okra was cooked wonderfully with just enough well seasoned breading. Now those Elk Sliders, wow! Crispy onion rings, tiny toasted buns, a little dab of slaw and that Elk burger. They were wonderful. We absolutely enjoyed this great meal! Add in the funky big game decor, complete with a bobcat “driving” a truck, a waterfall and a pond, and plenty of big game mounts,and you’ve got a great atmosphere. There was even a bluegrass band playing some great old tunes to go along with our dinner. Our server Darren was friendly, quick, and checked on us just enough. Quick check/box/pay, and we were on our way back to the campground. 10/10 would definitely recommend. I know for SURE we’ll be back.

My wife and I came to Nashville for a few days to see the Opry, of course. After a long drive from KY, I saw the reviews for Caney Fork and was intrigued. We were seated right away but there was so much to see I had to walk around and see it all. A real showcase of stuffed and mounted wildlife.

While moving across country we stopped here for some southern classics. The fried green tomatoes were so good, the breading was perfect. The ribs were fall off the bone and the catfish was surprisingly good! My fiance had the chopped steak and it was so good as well. Nicol was an amazing server and seemed to read our mind when we needed things. If I’m ever traveling around there again I will be back!

Great food, service, and atmosphere. The ribs were very meaty, and the fish was not greasy. Matt was a great waiter, and had enough pens in his back pocket for everyone in Nashville! Haha

Needed a quick dinner before heading downtown for a concert. Thank God we beat the dinner rush. Service was good. The food was great! We were able to get in, get seated, get our food, eat, pay and get out in record time to make our concert! Thanks y’all! The catfish fillets were unbelievably huge and delicious! We will definitely be back!
