From their website I’m working on as I post this…” In a city known for putting up platinum food as well as platinum records, Nashville has a bounty of restaurant options but none as unique, exciting and diverse as the sure-fire hit Urban Grub.

The menu is a combination of southern traditions with a “flavored up tweak, ” fresh fish and seafood, fresh chucked oysters, smoked and grilled meats and vegetables, and cantina style hand-helds.”
