Tootsies Orchid Lounge Nashville Airport

"Don't bother getting the fried chicken salad. The chicken was cold and "Stale" when I got it. I asked them to replace it because of the cold hard chicken and it came back less than 3 minutes later with hot chicken, no less hard. It was so stiff on the outside you couldn't get a fork through it. The servers were very polite but it took quite a while foe them to take my order. I had to get the attention of the bartender in order to place my hard chicken salad. Atmosphere was good, acoustic country set from a local artist and just what you would expect otherwise at the airport. In the future I'll be sure to never purchase food here."

"The bartender was rude and verbally and physically threatened to have me arrested if I didn't leave because I sat at the stool and ordered a coke. I explained that I had a 2 hour layover and was planning on ordering wine and food in a few minutes. He told me to get out. I repeated myself, but he told him he was obnoxious and an a$$. He took my drink and hurled it over my head and threatened to call the police and have me thrown out of the airport. I told him to. I asked to talk to his manager, and he denied me the opportunity to speak to them. Management observed and took no action. I'm an African American, older woman. He was threatening and abusive, and I was concerned he would bring physical harm to me. I've contacted the authorities and plan to bring charges against this establishment and bartender. I attempted to contact the owner, and no one from his office even attempted to contact me even as a courtesy. I left all my contact information. BTW I was the only person of color in the establishment at the time."

"Breakfast sandwich was good.Only had 4 other people in the restaurant but the server was in a hurry to get us in an out which isn’t always bad at an airport but this was more like we interrupted her social time with the other employees. I’m not saying don’t eat here because it was very good. Customer service is just lacking."

"Music and Excellent Airport Food This is a spinoff of the famous Tootsie's honky tonk in downtown Nashville. We had a layover in Nashville and gave this place a try. Within a few minutes of us sitting down, a very good singer playing a guitar ended his day there. They regularly have musicians that play there. As with most airport eateries, they have a full bar with quite a few beers on tap. My wife had the Mushroom Swiss Burger ($12.50) which came with a side of fries. The burger was actually 2 burger patties, probably one half pound of meat total, with a swiss cheese slice, a few grilled mushrooms, lettuce, tomato and raw red onion. She said it had a very good beef flavor and she enjoyed it. The fries were just fries. I had the Supreme Nachos ($12.00). They come with Chili, but I substituted BBQ pork for an extra $2.00 and I'm glad I did. To my surprise, they added the pork along with chili atop the tortilla chips. The chili didn't have much flavor. There was plenty of melty queso, some tomato, and a few jalapeno slices. They were very generous with the pork. This was not pulled pork, but rather large chunks of very moist, lightly seasoned pork that had a pure pork flavor. I was very happy I got this. For airport food, it was pretty good."

"Near Terminal C6 at BNA Nashville airport. Live music from the morning. Basic food and drinks. At least 7-8 TV screens while you drink at either the bar or on tables. Nice to listen to live singers singing country music while you wait for your flight and then you can walk to your gate with spirit bathrooms nearby. Sawyer was singing today 5/30/23 and he was good! Enjoyed him. But we didn’t enjoy the Female older waitress coming to us about 5 times asking us to order breakfast or lunch even though we ordered some beverages. And it wasn’t that there was a line of people waiting to be served at Tootsies. There were many empty chairs and tables. It’s a big space actually. And she also gave us the check asap while we were still drinking even though there was no rush to empty tables. My Apple juice was still 80% full. We found this place highly offensive and I would personally never return just because of this waitress. We can find other food places to enjoy food or drinks without being forced and forced out. I eat out and travel at airports a lot and this was probably the worst experience of a waitress pressuring me to get out while it was not busy."
