Johnny Cash’s Bar & BBQ

So glad we decided to check out the restaurant after going through the museum. We visited in June. The atmosphere was so fun, and the live band was amazing! Our bartender was super nice and funny, and she was quick with drinks and our food order. The chicken was really good, as well as the fried pickles. I'd recommend getting a bucket of drinks to share with your companion, they had a good deal.

We stumbled upon this place, and the music was good, but they were extremely understaffed. We sat down at a dirty table, waiting 20 minutes for someone to take our order. I felt so bad for the waitress. She had no help. She was doing everything from bussing tables, to mopping the floor, making drinks, on top of her regular duties. She apologized profusely, but we understand there was only so much she could do. They need to double their staff....Next thing is that we just ordered a $14 cocktail and $6 fruit cup. It's EXTREMELY overpriced for what you get. The drink tasted good, but it came in a small plastic (water) cup. And the fruit cup was.... Disappointing to say the least. (See photo) $20 for this. So sad to see a legend's restaurant have such a disappointing experience for visitors.

Johnny Cash's Bar and BBQ: A Disappointing ExperienceOur visit to Johnny Cash's Bar and BBQ in Nashville was underwhelming, to say the least. Despite the historic name and allure, the experience fell flat.Customer Service: The service was inattentive, leaving us feeling neglected throughout our meal.Pulled BBQ Pork with Slaw: The pulled pork lacked the rich, smoky flavor we were hoping for, and the slaw did little to elevate the dish.Grilled Chicken Plate with Slaw: The grilled chicken was bland, and the slaw failed to add any memorable taste.Unfortunately, even the iconic name couldn't save this place. The food and service were subpar; probably could have received better service and food at a gas station. Sadly, nothing stood out as memorable beyond the name itself. This was not the experience we were hoping for.

We spent a couple of hours here having a beer or two and enjoying some lunch. The ambiance was good and it had a lot of Johnny Cash Memorabilia. People were in a great mood and the duo on stage were playing some great tunesWe had a Nashville hot chicken with onion rings and it was really good. I loved the bone-in chicken they used versus a pre-breaded filet. Definitely worth checking out.

Great food and fun ambience! There is a live band, keep all the other fried chicken we had in Nashville this one is so good!!! Cool old building. Stairs down to the bathroom is interesting and go into the museum store to get some fun souvenirs right next door.

I was too full to eat something here because we just came from house of cards Buffet . That did not mean that we did not come in to enjoy the music and admire the whole place. I mean it is the Johnny Cash restaurant, so yeah I'm gonna stop and hang out.#LoveJohnnyCash

Definitely between 3-4 stars. Mac and cheese was a great flavor. Fries were crispy and had good seasoning. My only real complaint is the breading in the chicken tenders, not the best. Chicken was a good quality though. Should've had the fried chicken instead

Live music even at 10am, the band was good. I like that it wasn't super loud. Service was seat yourself but staff was really nice. Everything was cooked to perfection. Probably the best potato's I've had in a long time. The sausage gravy was chefs kiss, super rich with lots of sausage bits. Price was good. Bacon was crispy. The only "complaint" was the pancakes were too sweet but that's just because we added chocolate chips so I don't blame the restaurant at all. That was our bad

The food was just OK in my opinion, the atmosphere was very nice though, same with the band! The service was great although it was hard for us to find a table at first. I got the Mac and cheese and a smash burger, nothing special. But my boyfriend got the pulled pork sandwich and loved it! It was very hot in there though!

TJWatson music was awesome and the beer was cold. Didn't eat, but really enjoyed the music.
