★★★★★ 5.0 Joey Grytza · Feb 2026

Australian Gem in Nashville. Just a great place with great food and great people. The staff was super friendly and passionate about the food. The head chef from australia also came out and talked to us, very nice guy and clearly passionate about bringing joy through australian food. Everything was good but I highly recommend the Curry Pie, super tender chicken, crispy puff pastry, and a beautiful mixed spice curry sauce. Very good will be back again. 4.5/5

The Cookery is such a nice restaurant in Nashville! All the food I bought was so good and reasonably priced. I also loved the Australian twist on the food, especially the avocado toast. The server I had was also very kind. I would recommend coming here!

This place was outstanding!! I didn't take pictures of everything we got because we were so involved in eating the food. Everyone enjoyed every dish! The hash, spinach dip with tons of spinach not just cheese, the chicken wrap with graps, the chicken pot pie. Omg the red velvet cake, idk who is cooking at the Cookery or how I just got here but it's absolutely out of this world. Can't wait to take my friends 🤗. And the staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Prices and portions are more than reasonable. Please give this place a try!!

Absolutely loved this place - it feels like a community. We walked by, read a sign that it had the best cinnamon roll, and decided to try it. We ordered nothing else, so can’t speak too much, but gosh that was an amazing cinnamon roll. But while we were there, we noticed a lot of regulars, a lot of families, people sitting down without a menu and ordering their usual, the chef coming in and sitting and catching up with people. Kids sitting on their own on a sofa and playing, a dog hanging out. It just felt…. homey. If I lived here, I would be here at least once a week.

My husband and I went to The Cookery today in search of authentic Australian meat pies. We were NOT disappointed! What a treat!! The Aussie Style Meat Pie and Aussie Sausage Roll were AMAZING and the house made, oven roasted Potato Fries were well seasoned and delicious. Every staff person we encountered was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Such a wonderful FIRST visit (with hopefully many more in the future) to this delightful establishment. 😋🇦🇺
