Welcome to the Opry Backstage Grill, where the excitement, fun and music of the Grand Ole Opry’s backstage meets Southern cooking at its best!

If you were backstage at the Opry on a show night, you’d be able to relax and share good times, surrounded by friends, family, and great country music. We invite you to have the same experience at the Opry Backstage Grill, plus some of the best cooking in Tennessee.

Many of the selections on our menu have been at the heart of Opry backstage traditions, memories, and stories through the years, ranging from backstage holiday gatherings to artists and fans sharing their favorite recipes with each other. Like the music that has made the Opry famous around the world, our dishes have their roots in the Tennessee hills. And now those dishes and mealtime traditions have a home, just as music has its home on the Opry stage.

While we take our great Southern cooking seriously, we also like to have fun and celebrate all the Opry means to us. So in addition to hearing from your server about the day’s specials, don’t be surprised to see him or her on the Grill stage singing a country classic or current chart-topper. Be sure to take a photo in case your server is the next Brad Paisley or Carrie Underwood!

We hope you enjoy every minute of your visit, and if you’re at a loss for words when describing our brand of Southern cooking to friends, allow us to suggest two:
