Category 10 Brings the Carolina Flavor

  • By Lane Vaughn
Table spread featuring an array of Category 10's menu offerings

From Luke’s table to yours, Category 10 is serving up homegrown flavor on our newly refreshed menu. With tastes from the Carolina coast to the Appalachian Mountains, to right here in Nashville, this is the kind of cooking that raised a country star.

Stop in, grab a plate, and stay awhile. Every bite is bold, every pour is smooth, and it’s all Luke-approved. Here’s what’s new:

WILD GAME MEATBALLS

Kick things off with a nod to Luke’s sportsman side. Homemade ground pork and venison meatballs are coated in a savory brown gravy and served with toasted sourdough bread – a little bit wild and reckless, and a whole lot of flavor.

SIGNATURE BREAD BOWL

Warm up with a hearty pulled chicken and corn chowder, simmered with carrots, potatoes, smoky bacon, a little kick of jalapeño—served in a crusty French bread boule. This is southern comfort you can savor bite by bite…right down to the bowl.

STEAK FRITES

Go big or go home with our 10 oz. New York Strip—seared just right and topped with melty herb butter—paired with crispy duck fat parmesan waffle fries that steal the show. Who says bar food can’t dress up? This might just be the best bite on Broadway.

CAROLINA SMOKED RIBS

Dig into a rack of fall-off-the-bone Carolina-style ribs, glazed in our signature Apple Butter Bar-B-Que sauce. They’re sweet, savory, sticky, and oh-so satisfying. Grab a stack of napkins and embrace the mess… it’s worth it.

COLD SMOKED SALMON WRAP

Reel in some flavor with our nod to Luke’s love for fishing. Salmon cold-smoked in house, wrapped up with lemon dill aioli and crispy fried capers for the perfect refreshing bite. Best enjoyed with a cold drink and that riverfront view from our rooftop.  

CHARRED CORN CAESAR SALAD

This isn’t your average Caesar. We’ve kicked it up a notch with smoky grilled sweet corn, Tajín breadcrumbs, and our house-made lime Caesar dressing. Fresh, flavorful, and just the right move when you want to keep it light before tearing up the dance floor.

DESSERT

Ready for an encore? Go classic with a frosty Rootbeer Float in a signature Bootlegger cup or indulge in our decadent ice cream sandwich – two homemade sugar cookies with a salted caramel ice cream center.

DRINKS

Our signature sips are worth raising a glass to. Tee off with the Backswing Transfusion (our spin on a golf course favorite) or keep the night alive with the Ghost Purple Skies, an energy-fueled pick-me-up made for the dance floor.
