    “Super tasty bacon egg and cheese breakfast taco. It’s approx 5 inch x 1.5 inch and cost $4. One was enough for me but a dude would want 2. The drip coffee was quite respectable, not burned in the slightest and they have real cream. Didn’t need any sugar. I’ve begrudgingly embraced being called a foodie and coffee snob so I’m always pleased to find small local places doing great food/coffee. Plenty of seating and chill vibes too.”

    “As a day one Preds season ticket holder, Broadway Brewhouse has been my pregame meal spot for as long as I can remember ... decades. Very convenient and great selection of beers. However, tonight I was hit with the terrible news that the meal I order every visit, Pasta de Louisiane, has been axed from the menu. Now you've become just another bar and grill with nothing special on the menu 😞 Plastic cups, paper plates ... the Brewhouse just isn't the same. I'm sure I'll pop in periodically; but heading downtown early for my favorite meal before the Preds hit the ice is now a thing of the past. I realize that things change; but change sucks.”

The shop is attached to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and it's just a few blocks off Broadway so it's very convenient for tourists. Locals love it too, so expect a large crowd around lunchtime.”

    “I had the Quesa Birria Tacos today at the Hobson Pike location and they were the best I've eaten in and around Nashville. The consomme is gelatinous and delicious!! The tacos were filled with flavorful, tender beef slow cooked with onions, herbs and topped with cheese. The corn tortillas were fried to the perfect crispness and not greasy, which is not always the case at some restaurants. The margaritas were strong and refreshing. Service was a little slow, but I think they were just getting it right in the kitchen. Our server was very attentive.”

    “While the physical space is unassuming and the service is no-frills, the culinary experience was nothing short of transformative. ​The food possesses a depth of soul and authenticity that is increasingly rare. The salsa is a masterclass in balance—rich, vibrant, and complex—while the rice is perfectly seasoned, capturing the true essence of traditional home cooking. As a former long-haul truck driver who has spent four years scouring every corner of this country for the perfect meal, I can state unequivocally: this is the finest Mexican cuisine I have ever encountered. ​It is a rare feat for a kitchen to execute such a vibrant palette of flavors with this level of precision. Do not let the modest exterior fool you; if you are seeking a meal with genuine character and culinary substance, this is the gold standard. I would have gladly paid double for a meal of this caliber.”

    “While the food at Chuy’s was commendable, unfortunately, the overall experience fell short due to subpar service. Dining out should be a blend of delicious cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere, where the server plays a pivotal role in enhancing the experience. We ordered the steak burrito with rice and beans, which was very good. The chips came complimentary with salsa and jalapeño ranch dip—neither of which impressed us. However, the queso we ordered with the chips was a standout, offering a unique and delightful twist on the classic queso. Overall, the delicious food couldn’t quite make up for the lackluster service. Here’s hoping Chuy’s can elevate their service to match the quality of their cuisine in the future.”

    Fuzzy's Taco Shop Tests Full-Service Model After Tough Year

    Fuzzy's Taco Shop opened a game-changing location in Sugar Land, Texas, on June 16 that ditches the traditional counter-order model for full table service. Unlike typical Fuzzy's restaurants where customers order at counters and grab food from pickup windows, the new Houston-area spot features "Tacotenders" who take orders tableside using handheld tablets. It's a bold move for the 115-unit chain after a brutal year that saw sales plummet nearly 15% and unit count drop 11%.
