Paula Deen's New Nashville Restaurant Will Open In October

Paula Deen is coming to Nashville! One of her famous restaurants, Paul Deen's Family Kitchen, will open its doors to the community on October 26 near Opry Mills Mall.

Guests should feel at home with the southern, family-style menu, WZTV reports, with famous dishes like Paula's Southern Fried Chicken and Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. A full menu can be found at the restaurant's website.

"The dishes that are passed around the tables at Paula Deen's Family Kitchen are the foods my grandmother Paul taught me how to cook at her own kitchen table," said Deen. "It means so much to be able to share those traditions and recipes with the Nashville community and its visitors."

The 17,000-square-foot restaurant has 406 seats to accommodate as many people as possible who want to sample the southern fare. In addition to the restaurant, Paula Deen's Family Kitchen has a retail store where patrons can purchase items like cookware and products that Deen enjoys.

"As soon as our guests walk in the door, we want to make them feel like we are wrapping our arms around them and saying, 'Hey y'all, come on in. Make yourself at home,'" she said on the restaurant's website.

Paula Deen's Family Kitchen is at 575 Opry Mills Drive. There are four other locations: Branson, Missouri; Foley, Alabama; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
