MUSIC VALLEY. Modeled after the fish camps along the nearby Caney Fork River, the restaurant is a fun place to go with friends and family to enjoy a reasonably-priced seafood dinner. The rustic feel is heightened by the fishing gear and pictures on the walls, the wooden benches and tables, and the large fish pond in the middle of the dining room. The menu focuses on seafood with a Southern twist, featuring appetizers, sandwiches, and dishes like the Salmon Oscar, Fish and Chips and Seafood Pot Pie. Don't care for seafood? They also serve excellent steaks, chicken, barbecue and ribs. In addition, they also have monthly wild game specials of Cajun fried gator, frog legs, grilled venison, buffalo, and rainbow trout.

NORTH NASHVILLE. At this Nashville landmark, you'll discover fried chicken with a twist: the chicken is HOT. Even for people who swear they can stand anything, Prince's hot chicken presents a challenge. You can opt for four levels of heat, from mild to extra-hot. However, their "mild" is what most people would consider "spicy," so beware of what you order! Late at night, the wait can be fairly long, so you might want to call in ahead of time.
