10Best Says

The Wild Cow is a restaurant on a mission. Serving vegetarian, vegan and sometimes gluten-free fare in casual East Nashville, the aim of the restaurant - other than to serve incredibly delicious food - is to make sure that food is cruelty-free and as local and organic as possible. In fact, they don't even have a microwave and their one freezer is only stocked with beer mugs and vegan ice cream. Menu items include Mexican options like sweet potato and black bean or chipotle seitan tacos and sandwiches so delicious you won't miss the meat. Don't believe us? Try the soy-free black bean patty burger animal style with onions and homemade Thousand Island dressing. Beverages run more toward hot tea, coconut water and kombucha than sugary sodas - they refuse to support corporations like Coke and Pepsi. Come during off-peak hours to avoid parking nightmares.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Hollie Deese
Nashville Local Expert

Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus, Lunch: "Try and dine on Thursday when they donate 10 percent of their sales to a rotating charity of the month."

Best for Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus Because: Nearly all of their food is purchased in it's whole form, cooking everything on sight from sauces to soup stocks.
Best for Lunch Because: Vegetarians will love their creative menu options, and fresh fans will love the local ingredients.
