They accommodated our family needs and our plates with great respect and care. Atmosphere was perfect and the music level was enough to listen to but never had to raise my voice to talk at my table. Cannot recommend enough!

Hard to find but worth the search. Great ribs/fall of the bone. Wings seemed a tad fatty this visit.

Henry was a fantastic waiter! And the food was 🔥 the ribs fall off the bone.
Go on a night you can catch the foxhounds playing. They were great!

I came from out of town this place was recommended I will never go back again me and my relatives food was grotesque no one ate their meals straight trash spent over $100 the staff was very discourteous never again it was a Dog it at the bar No way so unsanitary
Absolutely AMAZING food Hands down the best ribs and hush puppies I have ever had. Ribs literally melt in your mouth and the flavor was amazing. The banana pudding is the perfect end to a fantastic meal.

We stopped in here for a taste and cold drink with the Secrets Tour and wow these wings blew us away. My son is the one that likes spicy food and he loved the flavor. The Pineapple Cider was absolutely delicious and really tamed the spices down.

Small portions for a high price. There are plenty of other restaurants that serve more food for less money and better taste! Environment is alright.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
EPIC experience with Angela at Drifters in East Nashville!
From the moment we sat down, Angela made us feel like VIPs. Her energy is electric, her smile is contagious, and her service? Absolutely flawless. She knew the menu like the back of her hand and made spot-on recommendations that blew us away — especially the smoked wings and brisket mac. 🔥
What truly set Angela apart was how genuine and attentive she was the entire time. Drinks never hit empty, food came out perfect, and we left feeling like we just hung out with a friend who happened to be the best in the service game.
If you're in East Nashville and want a killer time with unforgettable vibes, go to Drifters and ask for Angela. She’s a legend. 💯

Went on a Sunday late afternoon, they had live music! At the recommendation of our awesome server, we shared Mac & Cheese with brisket on top, 1/2 rack of ribs (with creamy coleslaw, hush puppies & fries), a cold shandy (on tap) and a bushwhacker (like a Wendy's frosty with rum). Large portions!
Only thing we didn't like; we were sitting outside and the flies were horrendous when our food arrived.
