Husk: Reviews & Ratings
Came here for a Saturday night dinner recently—we had been to the Charleston location and loved it, so was excited to try this location. It was fantastic! Service was great, our server Dana was friendly and attentive. We were celebrating my birthday, and they had “happy birthday” written on my menu! Food was delicious! Started off with the Roasted Murder Point Oysters, Alabama Shrimp and Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits. For entrees, got the Jerk Shrimp & Grits and Joyce Farms Chicken Breast—both well flavored with decent portions. For dessert, we got the Carolina Gold Rice Pudding—wasn’t a huge fan of this one. Overall, beautiful vibe and decor inside, great service and good southern food—highly recommend this place!
Had dinner here with a colleague of mine and thought the food was OK. I think we dyed hair at the wrong season because this place is known for farm table and it is a nice storm in Nashville. I don’t think they’re ruining anything at this time. I would come back in the summer. We had the steak tartare and it was delicious. There was some sort of citrus taste to it. They added cabbage, which I never had before. That was very good. I did the jerk shrimp and grits. I felt like there was too much going on in that particular dish just way too much. The swordfish was made perfectly. I enjoyed that I had a piece of my girlfriend. Nice restaurant.
Had a great first time experience at Husk. We ordered the shrimp & grits, strip steak, and pimento cheese along with the St. Nick Cage and Strange Brew cocktails. The service was phenomenal as well as the food. I loved the pie crust crackers with the pimento cheese. Buttermilk cheddar biscuits are a must! The honey butter is delicious. Our waiter Kyle was attentive and helpful.
Such a kick ass place. I'm a big anson mills fan and I'm not sure why I never thought of Carolina gold fried rice, but damn, that was honestly fantastic. Steak cooked perfectly, smoked garlic was fire and that chocolate crumb cake was great. The drinks were great, bartender was on point and such a cozy, beautiful spot. This restaurant was one of the reasons I drove across state. I almost canceled my trip due to weather, but after working 80-100 hour weeks for the past 5-6 months, I needed a bit of time away. Thanks Husk for an awesome first night of my vacation
Overall, super solid. Food was delicious- I kept saying that things tasted exactly how I would expect a very good version of this dish to taste. My only minor critique is that they definitely love salt! But overall, it was not enough of an issue to bring them down to four stars. The atmosphere is incredible, service was great, food was delicious. Five stars.
Husk last night was not just dinner, it was a reminder of why Nashville once felt like a secret worth keeping. From the moment we were seated downstairs by the window, with the garden and vines just outside, the room felt like a quiet sanctuary from the neon carnival the city has become. Warm, elegant, unhurried. The kind of place where conversation lowers itself out of respect for the food. We started with cocktails. I had Give Up the Ghost and Sarah ordered Seeds You Sow. Both were beautifully balanced, thoughtful, and precise. No showboating, no sugar bombs. Just confident, composed drinks that set the tone. We paired dinner with their Malbec, which fit the menu like it had been cast for the role. The Bear Creek Beef Tartare was the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-sentence. Fresh, rich, and bright, with layers that unfolded instead of shouting. Then came the heritage cornbread in its little skillet, with sweetened butter on the side. We ate the entire thing. Zero regrets. It was deeply comforting and quietly perfect, the kind of bread that makes you consider ordering a second just to be sure you didn’t imagine it. For mains, Sarah had the Jerk Shrimp and Grits and I had the Bear Creek Heritage Pork. Portions were generous in the best way. Both dishes were complex, confident, and deeply satisfying. Every bite offered a slightly different conversation between flavors, and neither plate overstayed its welcome. This is food that invites you to keep exploring the bowl until you’re both full and a little bit wistful that it’s almost gone. Service was flawless. Attentive without hovering, warm without being scripted, and genuinely proud of what they’re serving. Husk feels like a love letter to what Nashville used to be in the late 90s, before everything turned into a bachelor-party obstacle course. It’s calm, intentional, and deeply rooted in craft. A gem. A refuge. A place you want to return to with friends, just to show them that this kind of Nashville still exists. Thank you to everyone who made our 2026 Valentine’s dinner unforgettable. We’ll be back, and we’ll be hungry.
That flounder crudo! Order that! It’s Delicate. Very clean. I felt like I was in a cooking show confessional. And the winter greens showed up ready to prove vegetables can, in fact, be a main. This spot is thoughtful and just upscale. A very respectable culinary moment.
What a beautiful boutique home!! The staff were welcoming, kind, and thoughtful! Service was excellent, paced us beautifully while we enjoyed our dinner experience. I think every single team member had a smile on their face. That speaks volumes. I recommend you share everything with your table or you’d be missing out!! Thank you to the LOVELY DaniExtraordinary food for the adventurous and the kitchen put their foot in it!
