"EDIT: new review 2025- the bartender Tyler v for Nashville location is amazing- promptly took my order coming in as a solo woman at 10pm despite the many groups that were already there. Tyler also helped me charge my phone to ensure I had a ride home. 10/10 service and bartender. I’ve been coming here since it opened, it’s always shoulder to shoulder packed and music very loud. If your coming here for a place to conversate indoors I wouldent recommend unless you are into yelling at each other. If your looking to have fun and mingle aimlessly and meet new people then this is the place for you! Haha the food is actually very bougie! Would recommend. Service is stellar and extremely fast. Love the staff! Good vibes."

"After turning down for the day, decided to Birthday Celebrate 🥳 🎉 at Mother's Ruin... The atmosphere was nothing short of AMAZING and their food did not disappoint 👏 We met strangers who felt more like friends and family, We were embraced, the food boldly danced on our tastebuds 💖 Even snuck in a birthday dance or two. Thank you 😊 Guys for your service and light ✨️!!!"

"GREAT FRIES. Lovely vibes (though very loud and crowded on weekend evenings). Burger was very messy - not first date approved but tasted delicious."

"Okay so I feel like a younger crowd would love this place. However I am 42. It was crowded and loud. I sat upstairs with my group so that we could talk. The only part of my meal that I enjoyed was the fries. I had to order my food at the bar downstairs and they give you a table number for someone to bring the food. You also had to go downstairs to get your own drinks. My table had not been cleaned and was very sticky, I had to clean myself with water from the bathroom and a napkin. Bar tenders were very attentive and polite. A younger crowd would have fun here for drinks. Drink names were funny which made me smile."

"Good atmosphere. The street parking is not bad. We also had one of the best breakfast burritos we've ever tasted here the last time I was in town! The burgers and sandwiches are delicious. The cocktails are really creative. The names make me laugh so I guess that's always a good start to a meal. I prefer the bar seating but I'm sure table service is good, as well."
