Two great places to visit in East Nashville

Rosepepper Cantina is a great place for outstanding food and drinks with a really cool environment and a deck that is perfection when the weather is good.


Family Wash providing good entertainment along with excellent food. Try the 1/2 chicken or the Shepherds Pie.

Hermitage Cafe on the inside

Sissy, server extraordinaire, looking mean but she really isn't. In fact, she is one of the best around.


The sausage sandwich with fried potatoes.


From the "back" of the restaurant. This is the time I had the chili cheeseburger and french fries but got carried away and forgot to take a picture of it until it was halfway gone. Sorry....
