Well I got back from Nashville yesterday and my visit to the Omni Hut was good. Polly (the owner) was very nice! She loaded me up with a bunch of goodies -- a menu, placemat, other paper goods with their logo and a bottle of their house Teriyaki sauce (which they sell in the restaurant).

As you may (or may not) already know, the Omni Hut has been the same and untouched for the last 40+ years. Polly is the daughter of the person who built and opened it 4 decades ago. Lots of fish float lights, luahala and of course, tikis!

On another note, when in south Nashville, I came across a vacant (in progress) building with a patio full of thatch umbrella'd tables and luahala matting on the surrounding walls. The marquee was still blank but through further investigation I learned that this will be the new location for "Largo Tiki Bar and Grill - opening this summer." Anybody here familiar with this??? If they are calling it Largo because of "Key" Largo, then it may very well be more of a Buffeteer bar than a true tiki bar. It was right next door to Hooters if that's any indication of what's to come....
