Big beans were terrific. Recommending them all the time to all my friends and people I know traveling through Nashville.“

“Took my husband here, it was both of our first time. Don't be fooled by the building outside. I cant speak the inside because I didn't go in. His food was sooooo good. Although he asked for grilled porkchops they gave him fried......still was good. The smell made me ask for a piece. Lol. He ordered grilled porkchops Cabbage and greens and an order of cheese fries and a lemonade all for $20 Portions were small but the order of cheese fries was standard. All in all I would definitely return when im in nashville except I'll be ordering me something next time. Lol“

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

“I love Jack’s, specifically the charlotte location. The food is great, the staff are friendly, the price is reasonable and you can even pick up at the drive through if you’re doing takeout. The pulled pork plate with two sides and a drink is like $18 or something. Such a good deal, great sauces and sides and the pork is exemplary.“

“When i went to the smoke shack, i was in a darker place. My wife just left me for my neighbor, my kids left me for a different neighbor, and my dog was killed by a meteorite. I was devastated. And i was in a wheel chair after i was struck by the same meteorite that killed my dog in a separate incident. But that all changed when i stepped in the smoke shack. Once i opened the door, I could immediately walk again, my wife and kids came back to me, and my dog resurrected to join us. Thank you, smoke shack.“

“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!!!“

“Good stuff here. Get you some. It's my favorite place to get BBQ.“

“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.“

“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!“
