On Monday, the city entered the first phase of its limited-reopening plan. That means Nashville restaurants are now permitted to reopen at half-capacity and with COVID-19 symptom screening and protective equipment for employees.
Some establishments opted to institute the mandated restrictions and reopen right away. Many, however, didn’t. With the country, the state and indeed the city still very much in the grip of the coronavirus pandemic, many Nashvillians — restaurateurs and diners alike — aren’t comfortable diving back into dine-in service just yet. And that’s why The Takeout Guide is here.
In this week’s four-part cover package, our writers explore some of the best food and drink still available for pickup and delivery, from to-go cocktails and meals to CSAs and more. Of course, our roundup here is far from comprehensive. Visit our food blog Bites for many more daily takeout picks as well as our ongoing list of restaurants open for carryout and delivery. And of course, be sure to check in with restaurants directly, as many of the takeout options you’ll find here are subject to change. —D. PATRICK RODGERS
