Grabbing a bite to eat with friends or having a date night with your partner is always a good time, but you don't always have to dine at the most popular eateries and chain restaurants to have a great meal. Sometimes the most delicious plates can be found hiding away in family-run establishments with secret recipes, pop-ups started by friends that grew into community staples or hidden gems with the tastiest bites for an affordable price.
Using reviews, awards and accolades, and first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "most charming" restaurants around the country, selecting the most "delightful" spot in every state "from historic buildings turned into boutique restaurants to romantic date venues with breathtaking views."
According to the site, the most charming eatery in all of Tennessee is Butcher & Bee.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about this inviting eatery:
"A finalist for the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant, Butcher & Bee, started life aiming to serve perfect artisan sandwiches before its popularity, and menu, grew and grew. A cute spot with a pretty patio, mismatched furniture, plants, string lights, and retro-style tiling on the walls, it has a menu of mezze and sharing plates featuring fresh, seasonal, sustainable, and locally sourced ingredients. Highlights include whipped feta with honey and black pepper, pistachio and avocado falafel, and tomato risotto."
