The Rawlings was established in 1933 by the late Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Rawlings,
Sr., parents of the late Captain Joseph Rawlings. Joe Rawlings was the
owner and general manager of The Rawlings from 1957 until his death
in 1987.
However, the legacy and tradition - now in its third generation - continue
with Captain Rawlings’ widow, Tove, and her children, John and Eva.
Indoor and outdoor activities are offered all year round in a picturesque,
rustic atmosphere miles away from worries, yet only ten miles from downtown
Nashville. Come and see why Nashville Scene food critic Kay West
said, “I can safely predict that, for us, The Rawlings is going to become
a family tradition.”
For almost 70 years, The Rawlings has provided a scenic and historic
atmosphere for weddings, family and class reunions, corporate gatherings,
holiday parties and banquets. Set on a two-hundred acre estate running
along Marrowbone Creek, The Rawlings boasts more than 12,000 square
feet of restaurant and party facilities, tastefully decorated with antiques
and family heirlooms.
Best known for the South's best catfish, The Rawlings also offers creative
and distinctive menu items from around the world. Catered groups can
choose from The Rawlings traditional and seasonal menus, or they are
welcome to assemble select dishes according to their own preferences.
At The Rawlings, nothing is too plain or too exotic.
