10Best Says

It is all in the name: The Southern Steak and Oyster. That's what's on the menu here and that's what you should order. There's even a daily steak special (the Nudie Suit), which can top $100 for an entrée (although it is huge and delicious). Owner Tom Morales has been a long-time favorite restaurateur in Nashville, and the Southern is no exception. The interior is crowded, but comfortable, and elegantly designed. This isn't a quiet, clubby steakhouse; this is a see-and-be-seen type of place for locals and visitors alike. Prepare to wait for a table during peak hours. The wait will be worth it.
