Attending Payroll Congress is so fun that you are sure to work up a ravenous appetite after attending workshops, touring the Expo, and networking all week with your fellow payroll professionals.

But don’t worry—attendees will have many meal choices during the 42nd Annual Payroll Congress! Choose from 10 restaurants located within the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center this week; each sure to satisfy every food craving.

If a thick steak is on your culinary wish list, the Old Hickory Steakhouse, which has a four-and-a-half star rating, should be at the top of your list. However, if a scrumptious Italian meal is what you crave, then reserve your spot at Revello, rated at three-and-a-half stars.

Other restaurant choices at the resort include the following:

  • Jack Daniel’s: Southern dining (and the only location in the world)
  • Solario Cantina: Stylish Mexican eatery with a full bar
  • Cascades American Café: Regional comfort food
  • Paisano’s Pizzaria & Vino: Italian kitchen with atrium dining
  • Findley’s: Pub food with an Irish attitude
  • Stax Burgers: Counter-served burgers and fries
  • Wasabi’s Sushi: Japanese eatery and bar
  • Fuse Sports Bar: American classics

Need to grab some coffee in between workshops? Try the Cocoa Bean in the Cascades Lobby, the Delta Marketplace, or the Conservatory Cafe in the Garden Atrium. There will also be coffee to purchase in the Convention Center, near the Delta Ballroom, Wednesday, May 8 and Thursday, May 9 from 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m., and Friday, May 10 from 7:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

There’s so much to see and do (and eat) this week while at the 42nd Annual Payroll Congress—but keep in mind that the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center is cashless, accepting only credit card and mobile payments at front desk, food and beverage locations, retail, special events, and parking. Guests can convert their cash into $20 - $500 gift cards at Cash-To-Card kiosks located next to the Delta and Cascades ATMs.
