During the grand opening of the Grand Ole Opry’s Opry Backstage Grill restaurant on Friday, August 5, Little Jimmy Dickens was presented with a Chef’s hat and named the restaurant’s Honorary Executive Chef. Little Jimmy toasted the crowd with a glass of the restaurant’s specialty frozen dessert, the home-baked shake, which is made daily from the pie of the day, plus ice cream and milk.
The restaurant, located across from Gaylord Opryland Resort, provides both one of a kind dining and entertainment from Opry artists. Servers double as performers on the Backstage Grill stage and share details about the daily specials using Opry members’ recipes.
The restaurant will also host songwriters’ nights and special group dining events such as private dining with country artists. Check out the restaurant’s Southern-themed menu HERE.
