Chappy's Restaurant

I love this restaurant. Their food is great and their service is not comparable to others. I recommend this place to everyone. more

What a delightful evening for two former Louisiana residents! The ambience and the jazz combo were wonderful! Chappy's had a great wine selection and a favorite beer, Abita beer. The appetizers (crab fingers) were great! The entrees were good but the bread should have been a french bread. I had a seafood platter and thought the oysters were not very good, a little soggy. I sure wish Chappy had visited out table so we could compliment him. We will definitely go back. more

I have been to numerous restaurants in the Middle Tennessee region but this one in out of this world. The food gives you that New Orleans taste but here in Nashville. It is very elegant and you will definitely get in good with the ladies if you bring them here, as long as they are not picky eaters and can truly appreciate gormet food. This is top notch!! Wouldn't think twice about telling a friend. more

My friend took me there for lunch and I absolutely enjoyed the service and my meal. A suggestion for those of you that want spicy hot cuisine, try alerting the server how you prefer it cooked. Maybe they can add the Louisiana hotness you desire. I am taking my friends there to dine and I believe they will enjoy it to the fullest. more

We really enjoyed it. It was a father & daughter date & a great place for that. Our waitress was great. Thank you for a great night. more

After reading the other reviews, we decided to give it a try anyway. After our experience, I think everyone on Citysearch is an absolute idiot!!! This place was the best. Yes, it's kinda pricey, yet it was so worth it. I'm thinking everyone that has complained about it needs to stick to Applebees and O'Charley's, because this place is heads above those places. Ya'll are all haters that just clearly want something for free. Food was awesome, service was the best, Chappy a delight, and his wife was fantastic! Definately where our family is going to go for every night out and take all of our out of town guests! more

Being from the Gulf Coast, I was especially excited when Chappy's moved in near downtown Nashville. A restaurant that boasted fresh seafood, and Cajun style at that? I'm in! I have only been to Chappy's a handful of times since it opened, I'm ashamed to say. I've had great experiences each time. The seafood is super fresh--and yes, I can tell--after all, I grew up dining on seafood that had been swimming earlier in the day. When you go, get reservations--and expect to be there at least 2 hours, maybe 3. Chappy's is a whole dining experience, not a place to eat and run. They give ample time between courses to catch up with your table mates, and enjoy the evening. They have two larger rooms that are great for groups--call at least several days ahead to reserve one! There is a bar, but this is a place to eat dinner--at a table. It's also a little on the pricier side, but you should expect that for fresh seafood! Totally worth it. And, if you are lucky, Chappy himself has been known to visit tables to check on food and service. Both are fabulous, in my book! more

We went to Chappys for a 40th B-Day party, and it was absolutely amazing. I had the soft shell crab louie and i have never tasted such great crab very flavorful. The Martinis are a little pricey but very strong and worth the money, the bartenders were great as we waited very amusing. overall chappys is wonderful and i will definately be going back. more

I have been to Chappy's 7 or 8 times, I lose count. The matre'd calls me a regular when I walk in. I have always had speedy service and great food. Been to brunch 3 or 4 times and have to stop the wait staff from pouring the champagne because I have to drive. I used to eat at Chappy's back home on the coast before Katrina. Chappy's was one of my favorite places to eat back home and continues to be now that it is in Nashville. The food is just as good as it was on the coast. I highly recommend Chappy's to get that Mississippi Coastal/New Orleans cuisine experience that I grew up loving. I would eat at Chappy's every week if I could. Ahh that gumbo, nothing else like it. more

We ove Chappys. I am from Biloxi and moved to Huntsville. I have many fund memories of the Chappy's in Mississippi and now a enjoying Chappy's in Nashvile. A taste of the coast.Chappy's is our special occasion restaurant and we make the drive from Huntsville as much as we can. more

Definitely the best restaurant I've found in Nashville so far. We went in for a casual lunch not knowing what to expect. The decor is themed, but almost too much so, like a Disney version of a "classy New Orleans restaurant." We felt a little out of place in our jeans and tshirts, but it was no big deal. The waitress came out promptly and greeted us with the question, "Have you heard of our butters?" which almost made me laugh. But, their butter sampler was actually quite amazing (smoked alligator and strawberry butters, among others). The fried green tomatoes were the best I've ever had, and the Trout Long Beach was also perfect. However, our dessert blew everything out of the water-- a huge slice of supernaturally-moist peach cake that can only be described as a "game-changer." Man. Check this place out. You don't need to think about it, trust me. Just go. more
