  I really hate that I have to agree with the other negative reviews . The food isn’t good . It’s just prepackaged food that they warm up or something. There is no true SOUL in this food . The yams are canned , the fish was unseasoned , the dressing was sweet . The pork chop my husband had may have been the best thing . Even the Banana pudding, it literally tastes like the pudding in cup that you get off the snack isle . They charge premium price fore microwave food . I’m so disappointed that I wasted my time and gas on this while visiting Nashville

  My recent visit to Barr’s Music City Restaurant was just okay—nothing spectacular, to be honest. A lot of the food didn’t taste very fresh; it had the flavor and texture of something that might have come from a can with only minimal effort to enhance it. The Kool-Aid was good, but definitely on the sweeter side. As for the sweet potatoes, I honestly couldn’t tell whether they were fresh or canned, which says a lot about the preparation. The quarter leg I tried was overcooked and came out dry. For a place that’s supposed to give that true home-cooked feel, the food lacked seasoning and the kind of “love” you expect in comfort cooking. If I had to give it a rating on a scale of 1 to 5, I’d give it around a 2.5. It wasn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t memorable. With more attention to freshness and seasoning, it could definitely be much better.

  We originally went to the restaurant in May of last year scoping out potential caterers for our family reunion. After we tried the food we knew Barr’s Music City Soul Food was the one! We utilized Barr’s Music City Soul Food as our primary caterer for our family reunion over Labor Day weekend this year. The food was absolutely phenomenal. For our Fish Fry, the fish was fried fresh onsite! We paired the fish with spaghetti that was absolutely delicious and French fries which were also fried fresh onsite! They also did our Sunday Lunch where we had Turkey Wings, Turkey Legs, Baked Chicken, Mac and Cheese, Dressing and Greens. Again, EVERYTHING was delicious! The turkey wings were tender. All the food was perfectly seasoned! The Mac and cheese was SO GOOD and i love dressing and theirs was again, absolutely delicious! Barr’s Music City Soul Food also did all the decor for our reunion. The decor was absolutely beautiful, and fell right in line with our theme. The decor far exceeded our expectations! Lastly, the customer service was absolutely phenomenal! I was apart of the planning committee for our reunion so I worked very closely with Erica. She truly has a can do attitude and was determined to help us get to the finish line with the vision our family had for our reunion! Her professionalism, patience and kindness is admirable and she is truly a pleasure to do business with! Erica was there each day of our reunion working hard and, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her team was also amazing! From cooking the food, to serving, to cleaning up, they ran like a well oiled machine! Everything was absolutely seamless! If there were any hiccups or mishaps, no one knew a thing about it because of the level of professionalism carried by the entire team! I am so glad that we found Barr’s Music City Soul Food and that we were able to utilize them for our reunion in Nashville! If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and go support this amazing Black Owned Business! You will not be disappointed!

  We got to this place on Sunday (8/24/25) about 4:30 pm...my cousin called to tell me about this "Soul Food Restaurant) in Antioch. I was thrilled, before when I didn't feel like cooking we would go across town...OMG so wish I had...I got smothered chicken, dressing, turnip greens, sweet potatoes. The chicken looked and tasted like it had been fried with a brown sauce poured over it...Was not good, dressing was Sweet, not savory..Yuk, Turnip greens bitter lacked flavor,seasoning.. Yuk...Sweet potatoes were just ok, no cinnamon or nutmeg taste, just sweet...my husband will be eating his plate for dinner tonight, I'll write a review of his plate...Yall got a long ways to go..I will Happily go across town, to Cato and Baileys because I know the food will be edible and worth the gasoline, or to Monells because again edible and worth the gas across Town...Will not try again..why? It was bad enough the 1st time
