A New Chapter for Kid Rock in Nashville
After his first foray into the restaurant business in Detroit, Kid Rock is bringing his bold vision to Nashville. The new restaurant, a partnership with Joe Muer Seafood, will offer steaks, seafood, and classic American fare in the heart of Music City. The Detroit Cowboy takes over the space previously occupied by Joe Muer Nashville, a landmark location at 500 11th Avenue N, downtown (The Detroit News).
The Story Behind Detroit Cowboy
This new venture is more than just a restaurant—it's a statement. Kid Rock's previous Detroit restaurant closed amid controversy in 2020, but he’s bounced back with fresh energy. As Kid Rock shared, "A small group of very bad people thought they cancelled me…and my restaurant in Detroit in 2020. All you dumb***es did was hurt the city I LOVE." The tagline for Detroit Cowboy, "Go where you're celebrated, not tolerated," reflects this resilient spirit (Yahoo Entertainment).
Bringing Detroit Flavors to Nashville
Detroit Cowboy isn’t just about food; it’s a celebration of Kid Rock’s roots. The menu is set to feature steaks, chops, and fine dining, putting a spotlight on the quality and tradition that Joe Muer Seafood has brought to Detroit for nearly 100 years. Fans and food lovers can expect a lively atmosphere and top-tier service when doors open. For more on the restaurant's transformation and partnership details, see The Tennessean's coverage.
