THE WILD COW
VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT

"I found this little gem of a restaurant several months ago, in popular East Nashville, and it is now on my top 5! They are locally owned and one or both of the owners are usually there working. They have a different set of specials every day and they've all been amazing! Everything on their menu, as well as the specials are always 100% vegan, but you can ask for real cheese if you want it. They also have a great selection of vegan desserts, as well as wine and high-alcohol beer options. Great place to go for a weekend Mimosa and vegan breakfast! Great food, friendly staff, and locally owned and operated!"

"Stopped here on a business trip. It's a fairly small place on the outskirts of Nashville; there was a long line and I ended up sitting at a table with some other folks. Drinks are in a cooler to the right of the counter (various organic sodas available; kombucha); grab your dessert when you order (they'll bring you the rest of your food). Food is vegan unless you ask for dairy cheese. I was sorely tempted by the veggie reuben (they also have a Philly "cheesesteak") but I got the hummus and the sweet potato tacos instead. Open til 9 or 10 pm depending on the day of the week; closed Tuesdays."
