Stillhouse Restaurant: Spectacular Simplicity

The Discovery
Do you remember, as a child, the first time you stumbled upon that seemingly ordinary rock that once unearthed, revealed the most fantastic crystalline treasure inside? It became your most prized discovery. When you couldn’t carry it with you, it remained a precious secret carried in your heart until you could hurry back to marvel at its spectacular beauty again. Discovering Stillhouse Restaurant for the first time is a lot like that. Except that, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t keep the secret to yourself. The experience is simply too scintillating not to share.

A Rustic, Unadorned Gem
Perhaps it’s the beautifully evocative natural setting. Tucked away in the heart of Tennessee, amidst rolling hills and dappled trees, lies a rustic, unadorned gem. That rare gem is Stillhouse Restaurant, birthed earlier this year within Woodbury Tennessee’s 300 acre Short Mountain Farm. The property is also home to the award winning Short Mountain Distillery, which is quickly emerging as the region’s favorite producer of Tennessee bourbon and artisanal moonshine.

An Inspired Menu
The menu at Stillhouse Restaurant features a refreshingly creative meld of traditional Southern-American dishes, reimagined in exciting new ways. Many dishes are inspired by Stillhouse’s namesake, the adjacent distillery, such as the Short Mountain Shine Burger, or the Stillhouse Catfish. Other favorite menu items include Shrimp & Smoked Gouda Grits, Braveheart Black Angus Ribeye, and a classic Southern pick 4 that might include White Beans & Ham, Fried Okra, Mac & Cheese, and Sauteed Greens. And you just may want to come back for a late breakfast of Chicken & Waffles from the lunch menu!

Locally Sourced Farm-to-Table
Possibly the most appealing aspect of the Stillhouse Restaurant is the manner in which they approach the menu. Relying as heavily as possible on seasonally fresh, locally sourced ingredients in a farm-to-table approach, Stillhouse achieves a rare symbiosis of refined simplicity and sophistication. Says owner Todd Hollandsworth, “Every sauce and entree is made from scratch. We buy as organic and local as we can for the freshest Southern dishes.”

Less Than an Hour Away
The Stillhouse Restaurant is less than an hour away from Nashville. It is an excellent choice for a romantic dinner with artfully hand-crafted cocktails and a constantly changing selection of desserts made fresh daily. Lunch patrons often gravitate to the fresh-made daily soup and salad bar, and after, head over for a leisurely tour of nearby Short Mountain Distillery.  Looking for a space for your special event? You can always reserve the grand banquet room, with or without catering by Stillhouse. Need gluten-free or vegan options? No problem.

Stillhouse Restaurant
Is a special experience that is truly worth the trip. It’s hard to decide whether it’s the food, the atmosphere, or the artisanal moonshine and spirits that make this restaurant such a popular dining destination. But don’t just take our word for it.
