Every Brentwood where-to-eat list in one place: wings, Mexican, breakfast and coffee, burgers, sushi and Asian, desserts, bakeries and patios.

Last checked Oct. 18, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Brentwood has no old downtown restaurant row. Its places to eat gather along Franklin Road, at Hill Center and the Brentwood Place shopping center; in the Maryland Farms office district; at CityPark on Executive Center Drive; and at the Cool Springs end of the city, on Moores Lane, Mallory Lane and Carothers Parkway. These lists cover places inside the city limits, so restaurants with a Brentwood mailing address in Nashville or Franklin are not on them.

How we made these lists. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Brentwood’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 18, 2026. Places we added from Hill Center’s dining directory and from restaurants’ own sites are kept only where the place’s own site, or Hill Center’s directory, confirms a Brentwood location, and every address was checked against the city limits with the U.S. Census Bureau’s address lookup. Every list is alphabetical. None is a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on any of them. Run a restaurant? Write to us to correct or add your entry.

The lists

Where to get wings covers four places: a sports bar in Maryland Farms, a barbecue restaurant and a pizza chain on Franklin Road, and a chicken and beer counter at CityPark.

Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants lists six places, from Tex-Mex at Hill Center and a burrito shop at Brentwood Place to a long-running Mexican grill on Carothers Parkway and a restaurant on Wilson Pike.

Breakfast and coffee lists six cafes, bagel and doughnut shops and breakfast restaurants, nearly all of them on Franklin Road.

Where to get burgers lists five places, from a fast-casual burger chain and an upscale grill at Hill Center to a sports bar in Maryland Farms.

Sushi and Asian restaurants lists four sushi, Thai, Korean and Chinese-style restaurants on Franklin Road and at Creekside Crossing.

Ice cream and desserts lists five shops for ice cream, cookies, Bundt cakes, doughnuts and bakery desserts, most at Hill Center and Brentwood Place.

Bakeries lists five bakeries: a family bakery and restaurant at Hill Center and cake, cookie, bagel and doughnut shops.

Patios and outdoor dining lists five places whose own sites mention a patio, picnic area or outdoor seating, including a historic manor house in Maryland Farms.

Pizza and barbecue

We publish a category list only when at least four places inside the city limits confirm their Brentwood address on their own sites, and this quarter pizza and barbecue fell short. For barbecue, that means Corky’s at 100 Franklin Road, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit on Moores Lane and Judge Bean’s at 7022 Church St. E. For pizza, it means Station Pizzeria at 7007 Moores Lane, Papa Johns at 119 Franklin Road and Amerigo, the Italian restaurant at 1656 Westgate Circle. Know another? Tell us.
