About us

Welcome to Staleys Chicago Italian Dining, home of Nashville's Original Italian Beef! When the Staley family moved from Chicago to Tennessee, they brought the food they missed most — iconic Italian Beef, Vienna Beef Chicago Dogs, freshly made Pastas, Gyros, and the flavors of home. Eat like a Chicagoan and enjoy award winning tastes with every bite.

In 2022 we had an opportunity to takeover an existing restaurant. Goodbye corporate world and hello small business owner! Our concept was simple, as a family of Chicago transplants, we missed our beloved Italian beef, hot dogs, gyros, pastas and more. And if we couldn't get to Chicago...than we would bring our Chicago favorites to Nashville!

In early 2024 we rebranded to Staleys and we've hit the grounding running! We've installed new TVs and sound systems in our Goodlettsville location, opened a second location in Midtown, created entirely NEW recipes for all our menu items, and managed to win several "BEST OF" awards.

Our goal is to create a world-class experience true to our Chicago background and to be part of the community we now live in. We love what we do, and we hope that you get a chance to stop by and check us out. We are all about good food, at good prices among family, friends and new acquaintances.
