    Amazing food and service! Love the local restaurant and the fact that I can walk here from my house. The focus on flavor makes this place one of the most unique in Nashville. Make sure to try the littleneck clam pizza.

    We had an excellent dinner at Folk. The ambiance was relaxing and not too loud. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and personable. We shared a vegetarian pizza, chicken Milanese, smoked mussels, snap peas, and focaccia. Our cocktails were all great too. Everything was delicious.

    We were invited out to try Folk. This place totally exceeded my expectations. Great food, unpretentious atmosphere, and our waitress was wonderful. She was very kind and knowledgable. This zero proof menu even had drinks that weren’t horribly sugary. I recommend the zero proof old fashioned made with Lyres. 10/10

    Hi Tatiana, Thank you so much for joining us—we’re thrilled Folk exceeded your expectations. It means a lot to hear you enjoyed our food, easygoing vibe, and that our team made you feel welcome. That zero-proof Old Fashioned is a favorite around here too. Hope to see you back in East Nashville soon! Cheers, The Folk Restaurant Team

    This was my wife’s and my second visit and, like before, the service and food were exceptional. A special thank you to our server and the chef for making a special vegetarian dish for my wife as we did not know the menu is seasonal - what a kind gesture that was great appreciated. PLUS the dish itself was OTC!! We’ll be back!!!

    Great food and wine. For three people we had the bread, olives, spring onions, two veges and two large proteins. We would have been fine with one of the large proteins. But it was all great food and wonderful service.

    Very good restaurant, there were little quirks with the food that would’ve been nice to know before ordering but that’s our fault for not asking more questions. Overall great experience our server was friendly and knowledgeable.
    FolkResponded on March 24, 2025
    Hi Merrill, Thank you for the kind words—we’re so happy to hear you had a great experience with us! Your note about the tiramisu truly made our day—best ever is such a compliment, and we’re thrilled it hit the mark. Next time, we’d love to walk you through the menu so you can dive even deeper into what makes our East Nashville kitchen special. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back for a flawless visit—and, of course, another slice of tiramisu. Warmly, The Folk Team
