In the constantly changing climate that COVID-19 has forced upon restaurants, owners are daily making tough decisions of how best to operate to take the best care of staff while also applying for loans and adapting on a (nearly hourly) basis. While Eater Nashville is keeping a constantly updated master list of area restaurants open for takeout and delivery — many had closed for over a month.
