Travelling to Nashville

[UncleSpike]

Good Day, Everyone.

I’ll be travelling to Nashville in January, and will be there for a week. I’ll be staying in the downtown area, at Margaritaville Hotel.

I’m looking for suggestions for a great place to eat. Something I need to try while I’m there.

Thanks!

I can’t speak as a Nashville resident, but I have enjoyed versions of Nashville Hot Chicken I’ve had here in Dallas Texas.

Prince's or Hattie B's Nashville hot chicken. I have had Hattie B's and it is good. I hear Prince's is better.

[Steve R.]

I love Hattie B's. Hot chicken snobs will say Prince's is the only acceptable hot chicken, but I can't imagine it being that much better.

[texastweeter]

I have had bot, many times....yes, princes is that much better. Steve R.

I have friends in Franklin, and have been to the Hattie B's there. Can recommend, there are other locations more in Nashville proper.

Monelle's

[Steve R.]

Underrated place. My in-laws lived in Franklin for several years and we would go to the location in the old jail when it was still there.

I forgot about Monelle's. It is pretty darn good

This is nowhere near downtown, but Loveless Cafe is one of my favorite spots in Nashville. I have never met a Canadian who likes/understands biscuits and gravy, but the breakfast there is top notch. The bbq is sneaky good, as well, but the fried chicken is probably the star of the show for most people.

[texastweeter]

Yep the biscuits and jelly are great. Another one of our go to places, especially for breakfast

[jfmorris]

I will second Hattie B's, and always hear that Prince's is better. For breakfast/brunch I loved the Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles at Milk & Honey.

I spent more time than I hoped for this year up in Nashville, back in June, and a block from my hotel was a REALLY outstanding small Mexican place that had just opened, that I went too twice in one day, as lunch was so good. And Yvonne was in the hotel room doing bowel prep, and I couldn't eat in front of her...

The Mexican place was called Acapulco West End, located at 117 28th Ave N Nashville, TN 37203.

I was there the first day they had their liquor license, and drank the first beer they served at the bar... I posted a review of it here under Nashville restaurants, as I was bored sitting in the hospital.

I found good BBQ at Peg Leg Porker and Martin's BBQ Joint. Martin's has places in several locations around the city, one thing I really like about there locations is the whole hog pits are right next to the dining room so you can see the hogs being cooked.

Peg Leg Porkers FTW

Don't forget Pictures and reviews
Thank you

Something a little different, but 51st Street Deli on the West Side, near Vanderbilt Stadium. Also, as mentioned above Loveless Cafe is legit.

We have a Hattie B’s in Bham, I really enjoy it.

Dino's in East Nashville. Get the Joe's stye fries. Dang good cheeseburger. And it's just down the street from Porter Road. Total dive bar, it's awesome.
Homegrown Taproom & Kitchen in Donaldson. Killer shrimp and grits. About 15 minutes from SoBro.
Midtown Cafe, close to Vanderbilt. Really good breakfast. Get the smoked gouda grits, thank me later. There's a Hatie B's right around the corner too.
Tennessee Brew Works has a really good hot chicken sandwich.
Robert's Western World has a kick ass fried baloney sandwich.
There's a Taco Bell on Second Ave N. that has booze & live music. Seriously.

That's my standouts from two trips there

Oh, and if you care about music at all do the RCA Studio B tour and the CMHOF. So good.

[klflowers]

I am going to hold onto this for the next time I am there

[UncleSpike]

Thanks everybody. I’ll be sure to check some of these out.
If anyone is in the area the week of the 13th I would be up to meeting up for dinner some evening.

[texastweeter]

Peg leg porkers is an always for us, as is princes hot chicken, and loveless cafe.

[texastweeter]

The farmhouse is also very good

I have been to Peg Leg Porkers. It was about 3 years ago. Man it was great. 👍👏

[Panhead John]

Peg Leg Porkers? Sounds like a couple of chicks I used to date….

[UncleSpike]

I toured the Jack Daniel’s distillery today. Had lunch in Lynchburg.

The Caboose had really good pulled pork, and the sides were great.

The ribs, however, were so steamed that the bones were soft. I ended up with a bunch of marrow in my mouth…

[UncleSpike]

Tonight we stopped in at Martin’s Bbq right here in Nashville. It was pretty good…
