Louis you, of all people, should know that nothing lasts forever. However, hope springs eternal! I quit my job of the past many years and insisted that my new prospective employer interview me tomorrow at Elliston Place. Come on down!

Every time I like a restaurant, something happens to it.
I've been here LOTS of times over the last 20 years. Too bad.

We used to go to Nashville every couple of years for the Florida-Vanderbilt football game. We never made to this place for one reason or another though we walked by several times. Goes to show you, never assume a place like this will be there next time.

I hope someone can save Elliston. My personal favorite Roadfood establishment. Not counting HoJo's. Is nothing sacred?

When I was a law student at Vanderbilt, I went to the Elliston Place Soda Shop often. Great fried chicken at Saturday lunch and wonderful coconut cream pie.

I remember it fondly, and will be sorry if it closes down.

The linked article mentions Candyland -- which was also wonderful, and served a marvelous bittersweet chocolat sundae -- and is also gone. Sigh.

Just got word that Elliston Place will close this weekend. Sounds like it's a landlord problem. I loved the place and hope someone will step in to save it.

Here's the article from the Nashville Scene.
