As Nashville grows and changes, the spots that remain untouched by development feel extra special. Osborne’s Bi-Rite on Belmont Boulevard is one of those spots. The grocery store — originally an H.G. Hill, but owned since 2005 by the Osborne family — epitomizes Southern charm, from the products it stocks to the deli serving meat-and-threes and the regulars who frequent it. Even though I visit the relatively small grocery store at least once a week, it keeps on surprising me. I recently found a whole new bread section tucked behind the register, and sometimes I’ll randomly notice items I thought the store didn’t carry. Not that it would be a problem asking the staff — they’re all very nice. Osborne’s provides a personality that is impossible to find in a big-box store, and it just feels better buying groceries there.
