This cajun establishment, owned by a family from Lafayette, Louisiana, has been in business at different locations for over 30 years. Known for it's cajun delights with soul, Bro's is one of Nashville's premier hot spots for authentic southern fare. The short menu includes succulent dishes like crawfish etoufee and steaming hot gumbo. The small size of the building and the primary focus on lunch emphasize how popular the catering part of the business is. Watch for special events and parties, like Mardi Gras parties and the crawfish boils!
