Big Machine Distillery & Tavern

This place was so cute. My husband and I sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing. I go the Nashville hot chicken and waffles. It was delicious. My husband ordered one of the breakfast bowls and he loved that. I came on a Sunday morning and they had live music which was nice

Definitely a must try. The service was prompt, friendly, and was helpful ( Thanks Crystal). This was our first visit but not our last. The burgers were fresh with a good grill flavor, and my friend said he enjoyed the Buffalo style Chicken Mac and Cheese. The sample flight of Vodka was a nice way to discover their distillery products as well.

This is by far the best restaurant in Nashville, friendly service, the food is consistently amazing. Went two days in a row and both times were super good! Amazing portion sizes and really good coffee. We went to another restaurant last night that really disappointed us and came back here for brunch today, my mood is now lifted!

Went for brunch. Food was amazing! We were a group of 7 and everyone loved their food. Bottomless cocktails is a great option if you're looking to drink 👌🏻. Our server Michael made our experience grand! Live music 🎙️ was a huge plus! This place was a whole vibe! We're in Nashville for a couple more days, definitely going back for brunch for the remainder of our trip 💛

Great atmosphere with great food. You gotta love the bar was so many options. Can’t forget the live music while having brunch. Our server Laney is fantastic. Definitely recommend if you’re in town to stop by!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The food was amazing, the music was a great, and Chloe did a fabulous job taking care of us! From her recommendations to her service, she was the best! Thank you Big Machine AND Chloe!

Passing thru Nashville, glad we made this a stop. Addi was great and the food felt homemade. Benedicts, big machine breakfast, chicken and waffles, and crepes for the win!

This place is a lot of fun. It's off the beaten path of downtown but not too far of a drive. We did the valentines day brunch which was an appetizer and 2 entrees and bottomless vimosas or bloody Mary's. The vimosa bar had a good selection with fresh fruits. The bloody mary mix was very good. The bloody mary bar could have had a few more items to choose from but it was still good. The crepes were some of the best I've had. The big breakfast was enough food to feed at least 4 people. Everything on the platter was done delicious. The service was great. At one point the waffle maker broke and the server brought us complimentary warm fluffy biscuits with 3 different jelly options, all of which tasted great. The server was very attentive and made sure we had vimosas whenever we were empty. The only negative was the back room at the picture backdrop was pretty cold. The server did shut a door in the back that helped with that a little but. Overall this is a great place to go to if you're in Nashville and wanting good food, good atmosphere, and good service.

Barbra with Offline - For food, we ordered the pull pork sandwich and the pulled pork Mac n cheese. Both were delicious! Their pulled pork is very flavorful and tender. To drink, we had the iced coffee flight with pumpkin, caramel, cinnamon and white chocolate. It was perfect for a hot summer day. Service was good. Loved the patio seating to enjoy the nice weather. I’d definitely come back. They have some cool cocktails that I’d like to try next time.

Top notch! Loved the live music & bottomless mimosa/bloody Mary bar. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was very chill & relaxing. Michael was the absolute BEST server! Will be back.

Best brunch! Exceptional food, drink, and service. The bartender Michael is on point! 100/10

Tried The Big Machine Tavern for brunch and it was amazing! I had the BIGGEST MACHINE BREAKFAST and it was everything I hoped for and more. For $42, you get a massive spread: five eggs, two orders each of bacon and ham, two pieces of Nashville Hot Chicken, three biscuits with sausage gravy, breakfast potatoes, and waffles topped with blackberries—plus Blackberry Moonshine syrup! Definitely enough to feed 2–3 people. The bottomless mimosas were also a great touch. We arrived close to closing, so I’m planning to come back earlier next time. Great food, great vibe—100% recommend!

Great service by Zo! Big food portions and delicious drinks. Live music was great! 10/10 recommend.

Visiting here from Richmond Virginia, decided to stop here before going to the zoo! Found this through google and the food sounded good, once we got here we got an immediate kind greeting from the hostess Tea! She was so sweet and made us feel welcomed. Even gave us 20% coupons for the merchandise! Our server Michael was phenomenal, very kind and welcoming as well. Such a happy vibe from him. Gave us all the right tips on what to get considering we’ve never been here. Made sure our meals came out correctly. Not to mention everything here is amazing as well so hats off to the cooks! Definitely will be coming here again in our next visit. Thank you Big machine, Michael and tea!

We love it and our server ZO was so great and we will definitely be back.

I stopped by after working out at my gym down the road on Sunday morning when they opened at 9. Service was polite and they were fully staffed for a crowd. By the time I left around 10:15ish it picked up. I specifically came to try the whiskey and it didn’t disappoint. I ended up buying a bottle of the small batch Bourchetta. You can try a flight of 4 of most of their alcohols. I also had a boozy iced coffee which was delicious. My main meal was a monte cristo which wasn’t the best I’ve had but was pretty good. Overall this is a great breakfast and drink spot in south Nashville.

It was very clean. The Fall Decor on the Outside was very inviting and everything. The staff was very friendly. We ordered the fried shrimp and didn't realize the white BBQ sauce was Mayo base and asked of they could do it over and they did without hesitation. Also order the wings and I they were very tasty. I went around lunch time and it was very calm.

Had an amazing bartender/server Wyatt. He had great recommendations. I enjoyed the Borchetta BBQ wings, the Big Machine Burger was seasoned perfectly. Come to Murfreesboro please..

Laney was a great server. Cool vibes i wish the mimosas were actually champagne not vodka though.

This was my 1st time coming to Big Machine and the food was just as amazing as the service. Rory was a great server with a great personality. She made our 1st time even more memorable! We will definitely be back thanks to Rory!😊

Chloe was our server and she was amazing! The bottomless drinks are always great, the food is always great, and Chloe was a delight. She’s so funny and charismatic! We had a great time and we’ll definitely be back.

Sat. 11/22/25 We came as a group of 8. Laney was our server & she was very attentive, even fast! Very personable & chatted with us. Made our experience pleasant. Food was hot & quick too! Super cute photo spot as well! Highly recommend the bottomless vimosas!

Incredible Service from Laney! Laney was absolutely amazing! She gave excellent recommendations — I tried The Delaney Coffee both hot and iced, and both were incredible. The flavor was perfectly balanced, and the alcohol didn’t overpower the drink at all. I also went with her suggestion of the classic cheeseburger, which was delicious and cooked just right. Even during a very busy Sunday brunch, Laney was so sweet, attentive, and professional. She checked on us just enough without hovering, and her friendly energy made the whole experience even better. If you visit Big Machine Distillery and Tavern, definitely ask for Laney — she made our brunch one to remember!

Walked in without a reservation and they made a way to accommodate us! Bar staff is very friendly. Our waitress was Laney and she did an AMAZING job and was very personable and attentive. She even went out of her way to make food and drink recommendations when we weren’t sure of what we wanted. Would definitely recommend!!

We had an amazing experience at Big Machine thanks to our waitress, Laney! She was incredibly attentive, always checking in on us without being overbearing, and made us feel so well taken care of. Her menu recommendations were spot-on—everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The food was fantastic, and Laney’s great service truly made the experience even better. Highly recommend asking for her as your server!

I came here for brunch with a friend and had a great experience. Food is always 10/10! The service was speedy and staff were very kind. Our server, Rory, went above and beyond — she was very friendly, attentive, and had a positive attitude. Her energy made our visit more enjoyable!

Zorya has been my server the last three times Ive come here. She’s excellent and her smile lightens up the place. Thanks for putting me on the Lavender Lemonade! This place is awsome

Michael was our server and did such an amazing job helping us out today for breakfast. We were a bit late and they were super accommodating towards us, and Michael helped us so much with all of our indecisiveness! Great big personality and made this experience here unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone thinking of coming! Food is also incredible and drinks as well!

Came here with co workers for an early dinner on a Monday night. called ahead and made a reservation for a larger group. Zo was our server- so attentive and friendly. Drinks were delicious, and food quality was seriously great. If you are looking for delicious bar food, this is the place. Will be back for brunch!

They have great drinks and food. Their spirit tastings are always fun, but they make good cocktails also. They have good burgers and nachos. My wife and I always enjoy our time visiting this location. FYI, they also have a location downtown off Broadway also, however, they may not have a kitchen at that location.

Food was delicious and we enjoyed the live music. Also, our server, Laney, was awesome! She gave us excellent recommendations not just on the food and drinks, but also for things to do since it was our group’s first time in Nashville. We’ll be back again!

Lainey was the MOST amazing waitress! Not only great service, but funny, kind, and relatable! Our group absolutely loved her. The vimosas and food were amazing - 10/10 would recommend.

an excellent location for brunch! i came with a bachelorette party, and our server Michael was extremely accommodating, kind, and truly went above and beyond for us. he made the experience memorable for our whole group! the food was so good, drinks were great and made to order, and the service was impeccable. i would recommend this place to everyone!

Absolutely perfect spot! Michael is the best bartender/barista/waiter of all time! The food was incredible and very fairly priced, the bloody marys were also the best i’ve ever had. Definitely stop by here if you’re in town!

Here’s a polished, natural-sounding 5-star review you could post on Google or Yelp for Big Machine Distillery & Tavern in Nashville: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 An absolute must-visit in Nashville! Big Machine Distillery & Tavern completely exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of classy and laid-back — you can come here for a casual drink or make it a full dinner spot before heading downtown. The staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do; they made great recommendations and treated us like regulars from the moment we walked in. The cocktails were phenomenal — you can really taste the difference in their in-house spirits. The vodka flight and bourbon old fashioned were standouts, and everything was balanced and smooth. The food deserves just as much credit: every dish came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked (definitely try the Nashville hot sliders or the pretzel bites with beer cheese). Between the live music, great energy, and top-tier service, this place captures everything you’d want from a Nashville spot without feeling touristy. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Big Machine Distillery is easily one of the best experiences in town. I’ll 100% be back. Would you like me to make it sound more personal (like a real guest review using “I” and a more casual tone) or keep this professional and polished (good for LinkedIn or Google Maps)?

We got there at a good time to be immediately seated. The larger groups either had reservations or waited 5,10 minutes. Our waitress got lost at the covered patio area but eventually got us going and ordered. I ordered drinks and food at the same time since we didn't want her to get lost again. Everything was good going forward. I'm a fan of avocado toast, hot chicken, cocktails and Mocktail. This place has all of the above so we tried it. The food was nice and seasoned enough to my liking.

The grits were a mouth full of butter. The chicken slider was really good however a little pricey for just one slider but I guess someone really likes grits so that's actually a good deal for $16 you get the potatoes as a side too. I ended up purchasing two orders because the slider was soo good. They also have these Kool aid cherry vodka slushies for $5. It reminds me of the frozen cherry ice cones you get in grade school.My sister got the biscuits and gravy but she said she didn't like it. She said it tasted spicy but that could just be her. My other sister liked the coffee, it has liquor in it and comes in different flavors. Overall really good place.

The food and atmosphere were good. Our server was nice but the staff seemed cold to us. We sat at the bar and weren’t acknowledged for quite a few minutes and even then it seemed as though they weren’t really happy to be there. It wasn’t until I realized who the owner was and the fact that we were wearing Taylor Swift merch that maybe that was the reason. It may not have had anything to do with it but if not then it wasn’t an interactive or fun environment. I was really excited to try this place. The hot Mac n cheese looks amazing but our timing was off and it wasn’t on the brunch menu. The Monte Cristo and the breakfast potatoes were good as was the crepe and burger and fries. I like the design and the live music was great! I hope I can try the Mac and cheese next time. I’ll just remember to wear a different outfit. lol

first of all the $25 “bottomless” vimosa is not really bottomless because you have to pay $1 for every refill you get “for the juice.” For the boozy coffee flight you get to choose 4 flavors. I got caramel, hazelnut, white chocolate, and pumpkin spice. All were good except for pumpkin spice, it simply did not taste good. I ordered a hazelnut boozy coffee since I liked that one the best from the flight, the iced coffee I received tasted so different from the flight. It lacked the hazelnut flavor and booze, just tasted like a bitter iced coffee. We split the Biggest Machine Breakfast between 4 people and it was not enough meat. Live music was very loud too, I could barely hear the other people talking at the table.

Service was good! Our server was pretty attentive and easy to get a hold of. The food and drinks were mediocre. I left feeling like we overpaid for the quality we received. For 2 drinks and 2 entrees (with tip) we spent over $80. Definitely not worth the price tag. The live music was too loud. It made having a conversation with the person I was sitting next to very difficult.
