O’Charley’s Restaurant + Bar, a Nashville-based restaurant, introduced its new Southern-Inspired menu. The menu features exciting flavor combinations designed to appeal to guests looking for a taste of authentic Southern cuisine.

The Southern-Inspired menu showcases O’Charley’s roots by adding a variety of classic dishes reflective of Nashville, the company’s hometown.

“O’Charley’s was built on Southern hospitality and cuisine, and those are two traditions we continue to carry on today,” says Ned Lidvall, O’Charley’s president. “We tapped into our roots to shape this new Southern-Inspired Menu, featuring Nashville Hot Chicken, and are excited to share these authentic flavors with our guests.”

Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich: A Nashville original. Deep-fried boneless chicken breast that has been basted with spicy hot chicken sauce, stacked on Southern Coleslaw, topped with dill pickles and served on a toasted brioche bun. Served with hot, seasoned fries.

Fried Green Tomatoes: New appetizer with crispy slices of tart fried green tomatoes topped with tangy Tennessee Chow-Chow Relish and drizzled with smoky sweet barbecue sauce.

Farmhouse Chopped Steak: Ten-ounce chopped steak covered with a rich, brown gravy with mushrooms and onions served open-faced on a biscuit and topped with crispy onion tanglers.

Savannah Crab Cake Dinner: Two pan-seared lump crab cakes served over creamy skillet corn with bacon and tomatoes, drizzled with Old Bay Mayo.
