Share your opinion about Drifters Tennessee Barbeque (BBQ) Joint
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!!!
Absolutely love everything about this place, starting with the people.
I had The opportunity to meet the manager, Ashlea. Ashley made the effort to make sure I had everything I needed, and even with the situation that there were only so few TVs there, she made sure that I could watch my favorite team. The hospitality led by. Ashlii is impeccable and I would highly recommend drifters to any locals or traveling tourists.
