“New to TN and first time at Dickey's BBQ Pit in Brentwood. Had excellent service today (6/18/25). Staff was friendly and helpful and food was very tasty. We'll be back when we're in the area.“

“My Togo medrare ribeye was well done BUT the manager Chris was quick to give me a gift card to correct the error. Normally their steaks are perfection. The other sides and appetizers were delicious and I will return because of the management and kind staff.

Parking: The restaurant is next to Target which has electric charging stations.“

“For a little counter service in a 7 eleven, Raise the Roost is pretty good and inexpensive. Mostly fried foods, but the tenders are pretty tasty.

They close early, usually done by 8 o clock. But still surprisingly fresher then some more expensive chicken places.

You order your food and then are free to roam around the 7 eleven. Then they ring it all up in one order.

There are even a few tables inside if you need a place to take a break from the road.“

“Great service, they helped me cook the meets and checked up on us to make sure we were ok. The food was great! Specially all the sides that came with it. Would definitely recommend this bbq place to anyone wanting to spend quality time with someone! We got the group a combo that was supposed to feed 2 but it’s definitely more than for 2 people. Loved the place thanks!“

The banana pudding is to die for! We just had to come back a second time before we left. Thank yall for such a fun experience and we hope to visit again someday!“

“gotta check this place out the food was on point we will definitely be back“

“Great food and great atmosphere! This will definitely be a go to place when we are down this way!“

“Best BBQ in Nashville! Maybe the best BBQ I’ve ever eaten. 6 stars!“

“The Brisket sandwich had a lot of excellent meat. Large choice of BBQ sauces. The sweet sauce was very good. The Brisket & pulled chicken plate had a ton of meat & two sides. Cafeteria style with seating in a food court. Very busy on a Saturday so had to wait for a table. Parking was also very busy. But would definitely go again during the week when Farmers Market is not so crowded.“

“First discovered this place 3 yrs ago when a friend was recovering from liver transplant @ Vandy and the condo he was staying in was just down the street. Now, we come here every time we're in Nashville. We always go to the Charlotte street location because they are constantly smoking the meats fresh, there's a generous amount of seating and the employees are always friendly. All of their meats are cooked perfectly (we've tried them all but the sausage, brisket, and ribs are our favorites) and they give you generous portions. The Brunswick stew is delicious, the collard greens are fabulous, and the mac n cheese is good. It's not cheap but we always get 2 meals out of each combo platter we buy. Oh, and the banana pudding is a decadently perfect way to top it off.

Parking: Generally there's plenty of parking but this last time we went the parking lot was full and we discovered there's an overflow lot behind the BK.“

“We had lunch here today and met the friendliest people and ate some of THE BEST BBQ I've ever had. We had smoked BBQ Pork sandwich, Smoked brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese, collard greens, fried okra and home made fruit ice tea! They also give you a hand wipe and dental floss. I highly recommend if your ever in the area.“

“So good food, small town feel. They are just open for lunch and it’s fresh cooked food ready to serve. Such sweet people, but best of all Great Food! 💋❤️❤️definitely marked the map to repeat!“

“BarB Cutie is our favorite Nashville area place to eat. we stop by when driving across Tennessee. Friendly people and great food.“

“Whitt's BBQ in Ashland City catered my family event and it was great. Thanks Ricky you're the best“

“We spent a long weekend in Nashville and the meal at Drifters was by far the best we had! The smoked wings were so good they didn't need any sauce and the pork was amazing. Great little place and wonderful staff. We're so glad we checked it out!!!“

“Gold standard of Brunswick Stew! I just wish it was a year-round thing.“

“Great food and a fun atmosphere,the kids had an amazing time“

“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.“

“I would recommend this food service to all that I meet. I was pleasantly surprised. I receive big meaty fish pieces and generous portions of my side dishes. It was enough for me to make 2 meals out of my order. The beautiful lady was so nice, and we even wished each other a Happy Mother's Day. I came from Opry Mills Mall to Edd Temple Blvd and I'm happy I made the trip. I will be back.“

“Had a great experience for our Team dinner while in Nashville for our Matco Tools Expo“

“We decided on our morning breakfast to try here! It was amazing and the atmosphere and service was amazing…. Amazing menu options and Jams and biscuits. The Bronut was a biscuit stuffed with cheesecake, Fried Green Tomato Wrap and Pimento Cheese and Bacon Omelet was just a few menu items of amazing unique meals. We started off with a Biscuit Basket and Bronut (biscuit stuffed with cream cheese filing and deep fried and smothered in a blueberry compote) many assorted jams from mild to spicy. The pepper jams and jelly’s were amazing and flavorful. My wife had a bacon egg and cheese biscuit with potatoes, my daughter had the Pimento Cheese and Bacon Omelette, our son had the Daniels Big Breakfast: and I had the bacon breakfast tacos…. All our meals were great and fulfilling. There potato’s and grits were extremely flavorful and perfect sides! I highly recommend and give this place 5 stars for service, quality and food~ Julia the Kitchen manager was amazing and very warm and welcoming! TK our server was extremely accommodating and helpful!“

“I had heard from several locals that Jack's was the best place in Nashville for BBQ. I had family visiting from out-of-state and after we toured Nashville for a few hours, we had built up quite the appetite. There were 9 of us together and I thought we might have to wait a while for a table, but I was wrong and we were seated promptly after whisking through the long line. They have plenty of seating upstairs and an outdoor patio to hear the country music from performers nearby. I had the 3-meat combo and it was to die for. Everything was amazingly delicious and my uncles who are die-hard BBQ lovers, gave me two thumbs up for my restaurant pick. Even the unsuspecting-looking cornbread was delicious! Be sure to grab a slice of Pecan Pie if you have room, cause it's well worth it. I highly recommend if you're on the strip and need to replenish your energy or just want to chill on the patio and enjoy the music, without fighting crowds. I will definitely be back!“

“While gas station food has a reputation for being, sometimes sketchy, things are looking up.Raise the Roost has a nice little kitchen inside this 7 eleven. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes are as good as most regular sit down restaurants.While you order from the Roost counter, you will pay at the 7 eleven register from a order receipt. There are a few tables for seating if you are taking a break from the road“

“The chicken and biscuits from Raise the Roost inside the 7-Eleven on Newtown Road and Providence are, by far, the worst I've ever had. The chicken was either overcooked and dry, with burnt outsides and —likely due to improper fryer temperatures or incorrect timer settings. The coating was thick and cakey, indicating poor preparation. Even the green beans had no seasoning or taste. I recommend not using salt if you decide to season. To top it off, the bathrooms were in horrible and smelly condition. I would've returned the food if I had time. Thumbs down! I took pictures but you cannot upload“

“We catered Stroud’s for 40 people yesterday for my grandmother’s funeral reception and I couldn’t recommend them more. The food was delicious! We had just enough to make a few sandwiches for tomorrow. The banana pudding is one of the best in town & the potato salad was delicious. They were friendly, communicative, on time, and professional. Highly recommend Stroud’s!!!“

“Overall, pretty good especially for airport food. We stopped by for breakfast during a layover and got an order of sausage, an order of bacon, and a biscuit. The sausage came with two patties and the bacon with about five pieces, and they weren’t paper thin. The sausage had a great flavor and wasn’t dry, nor was the biscuit. It looks clean and there’s a few good seats around the counter.

For our order, it cost $13.75. Not bad in the realm of airport food, especially because the food exceeded our expectations.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had such an amazing experience at BBCuties! Nancy was incredibly helpful with her suggestions, and the food was absolutely delicious. You can really feel the authentic Tennessee vibes here—warm, welcoming, and full of flavor. Can’t wait to come back again! Highly recommend!“

“Visited twice on a Very Busy Labor Day Weekend - UT Football at Nissan. Great food and entertainment. Really unique structure. We'll definitely be back. Thanks to Alex for the great service !“

“That chorizo egg and cheese burrito was so good. Ordered one at like 430am and it was perfectly cooked. Didn't know a tortilla could be so perfectly golden brown! The burrito fold wasn't perfect but it didn't matter with how good it was specially with the hot sauce!“

“My first time to visit since moving to Franklin from Arkansas. I had a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and mild sauce; tasty, tender and delicious; brought back memories of my Dad’s barbecue from over forty years ago AND no one ever could prepare meat the way he could. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!“

“Placed a large to go order with “Kojo”. Every single item was perfect. Not one missing or wrong thing. Cold stuff separated from hot. Fries separate. Excellent customer service!! He did an amazing job.“

“Absolutely the best place to eat! Staff is over the top manager Chad was so sweet to my family. We brought my parents in after my mom had a chemo treatment and it was also my dad’s bday. He made sure to stop by several times and made both of their days better just by being so nice. I highly recommend this place. The food is amazing as well!!! Our favorite place to eat!!!“

“I'm a sucker for Whitt's BBQ and just really have never found that taste in any other BBQ place I've EVER tried. A coworker put me on Martin's today and OMG. In my opinion they get a 5 star in flavor, staff, and overall appeal of their menu, food, and property. I'll def be returning time and time and time again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Always good! The real deal.“

“Just had a wonder experience with DEREK working on the carry out desk. Funny, personality in abundance and customer service. I got the impression he was still new and learning the job. I can see where he’s going to be a hit with customers and a stand out with management. Good luck Derek, wish you the best and success.“

“Mark Petty your team does an Excellent Job, Love Renee at your drive thru window. Best BBQ & Love the Baked Beans❤️“
