"It was our first time eating at the Opry Backstage Grill, and I 'm sure not the last. We had an early reservation which made the restaurant less crowded, but as we sat there over for 1 1/2 hrs a fair amount of people began strolling in. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. We started with a couple of margaritas, but their base syrup was way too sweet. We then ordered a bottle of red wine picking from 3: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Merlot. Our waitress allowed us to sample all 3. The Merlot is what we chose. My wife ordered a garden salad and the salmon entree ', while I ordered the wedge salad and chicken finger dinner. With some time passing I should have inquired, but our salads and dinners came out at the same time. However, we were not disappointed as the food was tasty, but we would have preferred our salads first. I noticed another patron ordered a plate of chicken wings which looked mighty tasty, which is what I plan to order the next time we go there, and also the pecan pie and/or Dolly Parton 's banana pudding. At the time there was no live entertainment, but they have past performances at the Opry being played on 3 large screens. I asked our waitress if she performed any on the stage, which she doesn 't, but she did get one of her co-workers to sing and play guitar for 2 songs. So, we did get some live entertainment, which was nice. Overall we had a fun time and a good dinner. I did read a few not so favorable reviews in the past, which some may be legitimate?? But, I 've also learned that there are some people that not even Jesus could please! Thus, I would recommend the Opry Backstage Grill to anyone. It was very convenient too, as we were attending a concert at the Opry House."
