Gabby's Burgers

Top choice in Nashville


In a joint that's just a cow's tail bigger than a shack, the hard-working Gabby's crew cranks out grass-fed-beef burgers, which many say are Nashville's best – and we're inclined to agree. Order at the counter then load up on the condiments and hot sauces lining the back wall. Definitely try the wasabi mayo. Fries and a milkshake are also a good idea.

Gabby's is bustling by 11:30am. A kids' menu is available.
