Live in the same area for some time and you would probably develop a system that would include favorite spots & hang out places. The same is true with up and coming country star Ryan Griffin.

The rising country star, at the age of 17, moved from Florida to Nashville. Since then, Griffin was able to obtain a degree, had a short stint as a tour manager for Jason Aldean, co-opened for country stars, and later on, released his own songs as an artist and performer.

Through the years, Griffin has seen what the Music City has to offer. Aside from the bustling music scene, Griffin discovered that Nashville has some of the best food stops in the world. Check out three of Griffin’s favorite food stops in Nashville!

Urban Cowboy Public House

First on the list of Ryan Griffin’s top Nashville food stops is this rustic-themed laid-back restaurant and bar. Aside from the delicious food and unique facilities, Urban Cowboy Public House holds a special place in Griffin’s heart. This was where he met his late producer Busbee. Unfortunately, Busbee passed away in September 2019 due to glioblastoma.

Griffin could not help but reminisce each time he pays a visit to Urban Cowboy Public House. He would relieve the memories he had with Busbee especially the good times they spent together creating music.

Five Daughters Bakery

The next stop that Griffin chose to highlight as one of his favorite food stops in the Music City is closely related to his family’s food preference.

Aside from the famous 100-layer donut, and the fact that his daughter ultimately loves eating donuts, the bakery has been the regular weekend stop for Griffin and his family. For the singer, each time he spends there with his family is “precious,” so does for Five Daughters Bakery who quotes “Nothing is sweeter than Family.”

Ryan Griffin’s most recent songs are a concrete example of the fact that his family was a great influence in his songwriting process.

Outlanders Southern Chicken

Ryan Griffin surely has good taste when it comes to food. If the first two stops had you salivating, brace yourself for more.

What is Nashville without a country feel? Outlanders Southern Chicken, aside from having the best-tasting chicken in the Music City, the atmosphere that it emits brings everything to another level. From license plates to kayak on the wall, Outlanders has everything in the store. But what keeps bringing Griffin back to this place is the incredible hospitality that you’ll get from the awesome people working in Outlanders.
