The menu is straightforward but utterly comforting. One standout dish, frequently highlighted by satisfied visitors, is the famous fried bologna sandwich.

What a treat. The coolest band with flawless talent across the board, the venue itself was great with its laidback and cool vibe, staff were kind and the prices were beyond reasonable (leave a good tip!!). We can't wait to return, this is our new favorite spot in Music City!
I had so much fun here! The menu is very simple, only a few items, but it is good. The fried bologna sandwich is exactly how I remember them tasting as a kid, haven't had one since then haha the band was fantastic and the prices were really good considering it is in the middle of Broadway. The dance floor is tiny (like many Broadway bars) but we had a blast watching an adorable couple tear it up!
Visiting Nashville for the first time, the choice of places to go on Broadway is just daunting. So, I referred to other reviews to find a honky tonk and they were absolutely right. Robert’s is a great place to get a real feel for the country music atmosphere. The place fills up quickly. We were there at 5 pm and got lucky with a table at the front. The food was good- standard American fare. I recommend the onion rings and the Tennessee blonde ale. The bands were really good and tips well deserved. There’s no cover charge so only fair that they come around with a tip jar. All in all, a great night.
Where can you have live music, great hostess, recession special (Fried bologna sandwich, chips, moon pie and PBR beer) all for 6!! Also enjoyed Tennessee Brew Works State Park Blonde
Well, we had to go here for the Famous fried bologna sandwich. You get the sandwich, chips, Moon pie and a Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer for only 6.00, can’t go wrong.
Im the guest that hasn't tried the Fried Bologna Sandwich. However, im the guest that comes to Nashville from time to time to see this really incredible band, Kelley's Heroes. The entire band makes me feel like im watching something great. Because while I truly am, it also feels so antiquated and so beyond even their time. Their mannerisms, the attire, the whole "bit" is just entertaining to the fullest. From sitting on his (upright) bass, to standing on it, to picking it up like it's nothing and tossing it over his shoulders, to playing it like it's a guitar. I mean the guy is just something to watch. It's a total eyegasm if I've ever had one. The guitar player, is talented beyond words. Young. But seasoned beyond belief. He's someone you're gonna see on the big screen one day. These guys are good. So much so, I ignore them when they promote the bologna sandwich. It's not that I dont wanna eat, I just cant seem to pick my mouth up from the floor enough to make it over to the bar to order the darn thing. Absolutley super.
Robert’s Western World is the perfect honky-tonk experience right in the heart of Nashville! The vibe is pure classic country—think neon lights, walls lined with boots, and the rich scent of leather in the air. The live music leans toward older country, which was a great change of pace for a Monday night. Plenty of cool memorabilia to check out, and the beer specials were unbeatable—2.50 for a PBR or Busch Light? Can’t go wrong. The back of the bar had plenty of seating, making it easy to hang out and take in the scene. If you’re looking for a nostalgic, authentic Nashville experience, this is the spot. Cool place, great music, and a must-visit on Broadway!
One of the oldest honky tonk bars on broadway. And my favourite. Do not leave without having the cheese curds, my opinion they’re way better than anything else! Music is always fun and crowd is always having a good time. One of the few places to have a cheap but good drink!
