Any Nashville, TN residents?

Sorry brother... I guess I didn't read your post very well... I was thinking you were staying in Nashville.

Headed down to Disney...stopping for lunch in Nashville and then staying the night in Marietta, going to a Braves game, and then driving down to Gainesville to stay the night again before a short morning drive.

You should be ok on time, only four hours (or less) from Nashville to Atlanta. I don't visit Nashville proper much these days, mainly spend time about 30 miles east in Lebanon at sister's house. But I can second the fact that Roiters will have a lot of school crowd, depending. Summer session is currently in at Vanderbilt, but that will be a much smaller crowd, so you might hit it with a decent chance of lower crowd levels. I don't know about the Brentwood place mentioned, never been there. Have a great trip, and be careful driving.

I was a resident of Nashville for the better part of 20 years, although I left the area in the mid nineties....

Rotiers is a good place for a burger, but if you want to eat at a true Nashville institution, I'd suggest the Loveless Cafe. Rotiers is good, but often times will be dominated by the Vanderbilt crowd... Rotiers is pretty much right across the street from Vandy, and has a much stronger 'college' feel than even the Varsity in Atlanta...

Corky's BBQ is in Brentwood, Tn, and is down I-65... You'll need to snake through Franklin TN to Murfreesboro to pick up I-24 southbound to Chattanooga after you're done eating there.

Other 'interesting' places to consider might be Elliston Soda Shop, which is just a mile away from Rotiers.

The local 'alternative' paper is The Nashville Scene, and the dining section can be found HERE

Have fun, and lemme know if I can help you out any more.
