Many visitors appreciate the scenic views of Nashville from the river, especially at night when the city lights create beautiful pictures. The food, especially the Bar-B-Que, is praised for its smoky flavor and chopped, fat-free quality. The entertainment is top-notch, with performances receiving high praise for their fantastic bands, wonderful voices, and lively costumes. Many guests find the live music and shows truly spectacular. The Captain’s Table offers an extra special treatment worth the extra cost. Overall, the General Jackson Showboat provides a fun-filled, Broadway-quality night out with scenic views and great entertainment. The boat could use some updates but it took back and forth without any problems. The food and music was great.
