The History of Nero's Grill
During the 1960s & 70s, Green Hills’ favorite neighborhood bar and grill was the legendary Nero’s Cactus Canyon, run by my dad, Nelson “Nero” Griswold.
When I was growing up, Nero’s Cactus Canyon was the place to go. Folks visited Nero’s because they were treated like family. I constantly hear story after story of the fun times and great memories people had at the old Nero’s…
Family dinner out…
Their first date…
Their first drink…
How they got engaged here…
& how they celebrated the special events in their lives with Nero’s.
Now, 30 years after my dad sold the original Nero’s, my wife and I created Nero’s Grill as a revival of that historic neighborhood hangout, right on the same piece of land in Green Hills.
We know your visit here at Nero’s will not just include a fabulous lunch or dinner but also provide an enriching and memorable experience you’ll want to share with your friends and family.
More than an excellent restaurant, Nero’s is almost a second home…
So come to Nero’s Grill to experience that priceless feeling of being truly welcome…when you’re at Nero’s, you’re among friends and family…you’re home.
I look forward to seeing you here at Nero’s Grill very soon. And if you see me, please be sure to stop me and say hello because I love seeing and meeting new Nero’s family members!

"Our favorite brunch"
"Nero's is our new favorite place in Nashville for brunch! It's truly worth the drive to Green Hills, from Spring Hill, for the fabulous made-to-order omelettes, delicious breakfast meats, the best baked cheese grits I've ever eaten & French Toast cooked to perfection...just to name a few of our favorites. Truthfully, everything is top quality and a great value."
