NASHVILLE — The Original Big Woods on Molly’s Lane in Nashville has closed so it can unveil a new concept, menu and decor in March. The restaurant will be called The Original, a Big Woods Restaurant, in a nod to its lineage as the first of the Big Woods Restaurants.
The restaurant’s new menu will feature elevated takes on regional comfort foods. It will still be a 21-and-older venue and will feature premium craft beverages from sister brands Quaff ON! Brewing Co. and Hard Truth Distilling Co. — beverages which, in many cases, will also relate more closely to the accompanying food.
The restaurant’s most recent menu featured soups and salads, burgers, sandwiches, fish and chips, and more.
“When quality food and superior drinks come together in the right way, the experience can be really profound. We see that in our existing restaurants, and now we’re taking it up a level with this new concept,” said co-founder Ed Ryan. “And, with 10 years of the Big Woods spirit and experience instilled in the walls of the timber-frame restaurant on Molly’s Lane, we believe it’s the ideal location to develop this concept.”
