The weathered neon sign hanging above the green-and-white striped awning is the first clue that Rotier's has been easing Nashville's hunger pangs for more than half a century. Inside, the knotted-pine paneling, booths, beer signs and televisions make the dining room look like a bar, but the vibe is more family-friendly. Parents know to bring the kids for milk shakes (frothy vanilla or chocolate concoctions made with real ice cream that were taken off the menu when demand threatened to overwhelm the staff after a favorable local review) and homemade chicken fingers. College students mingle with music industry employees over a pitcher of draft beer while they watch the game and wait for their classic meat-and-three, which might be fried chicken, okra, peas and cornbread. A wall lined with awards for Nashville's Best Cheeseburger and Nashville's Best Hamburger advertises the restaurant's other big seller: a cheeseburger on French bread. -- Vicki Brown
