The first Vittles restaurant opened on December 14th, 2000, with the intent of providing the best Southern cooking that could be found, not only in Nashville, but anywhere in the South.
My philosophy was simple --
"serve down-home cookin' ... fast and friendly"
I was raised on "good ol' country-cookin' " that my mom would prepare for our family every day. We always had plenty to eat and we knew how to clean our plates. Mom provided a choice of main courses and more vegetables and side items than we could possibly eat. Everything she prepared was seasoned just right, delivering that down-home taste. This style of cooking has become a lost art in today's fast-paced world, but at Vittles we have recaptured many of those great dishes and desserts of yesteryear.
My hope is that you will enjoy the food and your dining experience here at Vittles and you will share your experience with friends and family.
