My wife and I are out-of-towners. I reserved a table for two at Deacon's New South for Saturday October 24, 2026 only to learn this day was the restaurant's last day of operation. Despite the fact that all of the employees were going to be laid-off and Saturday was their last day, everyone was very cheerful and attentive. We felt sad for them. The food was really good. The service was great. The atmosphere was relaxing. We wish the staff and especially our server, Hunter, good luck in the future.

This great little restaurant is a wonderful locals gem! Even though we're not locals, we were searching for a breakfast place out near the Grand Ole Opry when this popped up. It appears to be in a former house and parking is kind of all over the place but don't let appearances send you away. This place was hopping on the Saturday we went recently -- lots of people were seated inside and outside plus there was a wait. The food was delicious and our server was a perky, sweet young girl. We have a bit of a wait for our food but it was well worth it. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Food is amazing, the ribs are the best. Chef said they sous-vide them for 24 hours before grilling. Service was exceptional. The bartender was superb, and quite handsome. Only caveat was the aprons they were wearing looked gimmicky. Definitely will be back tomorrow.

Everything was delicious but especially the cornbread! Yummy! The hot ham and cheese could easily be split between two people!

We went to Ember and Oak for Sunday Brunch. The food and service were outstanding! We sat on the patio and you couldn't ask for a more lovely, serene setting. We ordered the Fried Chicken and Bread Pudding Waffle and the Biscuits and Gravy with Hashbrowns. Both dishes were delicious. Our server was Ashley and she was awesome. Highly recommend. Side note...the live music inside was very enjoyable. However, carrying on a conversation would have been difficult for us. We chose the patio and it was fantastic.
