Constant Smoke BBQ

"Here we are pulling up to a restaurant starving only to find out they were a victim of the flood. Diving back into Yelp we found this place and seen it was closing in 12 minutes and we were 9 minutes away. We called the number listed and expect the wort. We received the opposite, he said "come on, I will hold the door for you" We arrived and were undecided about what we wanted so we ordered everything on the menu. The fella thought we were crazy but was incredibly accommodating. We hauled tail back to the camp ground and proceeded to get our eats on."

Jacks Bar-B-Que

★★★★☆ 4 (420) • $$

"Jack's Bar-B-Que is a great option for barbecue if you are on this side of Nashville, Tennessee. The place has a great ambiance and vibe for a barbecue restaurant. You know the type, kind of a hole-in-the-wall type place with an eclectic mix of bric-a-brac adorning the walls and they have the prerequisite pig statue.The ordering process is pretty simple. You go.up to the counter and order your meal, they fill your plate, you pay and either take it to-go or sit at a table and enjoy the feast.I went with the pulled pork dinner and for my two sides, I went with turnip greens and potato salad. I also went with Texas toast. I also went over and tried quite a few of their barbecue sauces. They have a table with their sauces available. The pork was fantastic and the sides were pretty good, as well. The staff was friendly and again, the ambiance was definitely enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Jack's Bar-B-Que and I give it five stars."

"Dry-rub barbecue is the specialty here. I had never tried dry-rubbed ribs before, and I think I'm in love! I never even thought to ask for sauce, but I think they do provide sauce, if you want some.The menu is pretty succinct: dry-rubbed meats, sides, a couple of desserts. There's a bar at the other end of the restaurant if you want a beer or cocktail. I got the half rack of ribs with two sides, and I chose mac & cheese and slaw. I was told that the mac & cheese is the thing to get here, and yes, it is! The mac & cheese is super creamy and made with large shell pasta, sprinkled with a bit of pepper. It was amazing.I visited with a group, and we ordered a bunch of sides for the table. I demanded the Kool-Aid pickles, which are pickle spears soaked in cherry Kool-Aid. I don't even like pickles, but I needed to get this abomination of a side. And you know what? The Kool-Aid pickles were good! They tasted like pickles, but were a nice reddish color.We also got the pimento cheese, which came with a literal sleeve of saltines still in the plastic package. And the Memphis Sushi, which is a platter if kielbasa sausage circles served with rectangles of cheddar cheese, saltines and pepperocinis. I saw banana pudding on the menu, and I had to get that. I love a good banana pudding, and this one is great. It's served with whipped cream and a Nilla wafer on top. It's a great way to end a great southern barbecue meal."

Jank's Smoke Shack

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"We've been to this little shack a few times now. Just moved here and certainly not experts on bbq like many locals might be, but I've got to say, the ribs here were some of the best we've ever had. There's a picnic table where you can eat. You might want to do that after you spend a few minutes waiting for your meal smelling that wonderful smoke coming from the grill. We also like that because we can bring our pup with us and she loves the bones too! Next time you just don't feel like cooking, give it a try. I think you'll be a fan also."

"So, the four of us decided to hit up this spot for brunch today. Everyone went the traditional route and ordered omelettes, but not me--I went rogue with a PB&J chicken biscuit. I asked them to swap the tomato jam for peach habanero, but they gave me plain peach jam instead. Luckily, they fixed it without any drama.The biscuit sandwich? Decent, but no fireworks.Meanwhile, my friends' omelettes were like a game of musical chairs; their orders got all mixed up.The place is tiny inside, and while they have outdoor seating, Mother Nature was throwing a tantrum with rain today.On the bright side, there's plenty of street parking!"

"This is my favorite bbq in Nashville and really anywhere. It is consistently good. They have several bbq sauces to choose from.

"Don't let the modest exterior fool you, this place serves up the best Korean food in Nashville! They have an extensive menu of all the classics (bibimbap, soft tofu soup, barbecued meats like bulgogi and Galbi, stews for 2, Korean pancakes, you name it). Big portions and authentic taste. Their Banchan is also solid - love their potatoes. Comfy seating with booths and tables, and a back room for overflow seating. Food can sometimes be a little slow to come out if they're busy but it's worth it!"

Belle Meade Meat and Three

★★★★☆ 3.9 (40)

"Our group was touring the Plantation, and our original plan was to have lunch elsewhere. However, the group leaders made a last-minute decision for us to have lunch at Meat and Three, Good call!The lunch options include salad options that have been pre-packaged or a choice of a meat and up to three sides (hence the name). I went the baked ham that they carved in front of me with a very generous portion, plus two sides from a nice variety of options. All of the employees were very polite and efficient. On this spring day, we had dining options inside or on their porch, which was very pleasant.Great flavor in the ham, the corn pudding, and the macaroni and cheese. So glad that we dined there instead of some fast food place further down the interstate,"

"This is on the 2nd Floor of the Food Assembly Hall. I came here because it looked like the best deal in the entire Food Hall. I believe I was right.For $14, I got a large serving of chips, beans, queso, Pulled Pork, and jalapenos. Dreams do come true. I could not finish it all. Even though it was glorious in size, it lacked flavor. I even had pork skin in the nachos that was just blah. They should offer seasoning salt or BBQ sauce to raise the flavor profile. The beans were watery."

Hugh-Baby’s

★★★★☆ 4.4 (214) • $$

"I just got off a plane when I read a text from my husband. He wanted me to stop at a car dealership on my way home and test drive a car he saw online. Ever the sweet wife, I took a detour and headed to the dealership. As I finished the drive, I asked my salesman where I could get a quick burger that wasn't a fast food place. This dude looked like he has had a few burgers in his lifetime so when he said go to Hugh-Babies, I listened. Hugh-babies is what is fast-casual. Not a fast food place but somewhere where you get your food fast. And fast it was - I had my burger, fries and milkshake in about 5 minutes. I still had a 100 mile drive home and wanted to get in the road so I got my order to go and ate in the car. I opted for something not too messy and ordered the cheeseburger. The large, juicy patty's came topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and comeback sauce. Not sure what was in the comeback sauce but I'll definitely come back for it. My shoestring fries were burn your tongue hot and just the right amount of crispy. The chocolate shake? Let's just say I should have ordered the large. In addition to burgers, the menu also offered a selection of bbq sandwiches and hot dogs. There was plenty of seating both at tables and at a counter overlooking the grill. Likewise, there was plenty of parking out front. I'm glad I listened to my salesman. And no, I didn't buy the car...if you have a Lincoln MKZ Reserve for sale, let me know!"

"I've dropped in twice now and this place is great! The bbq is soooo good! I've had ribs and brisket from here. The brisket just melts it's amazing. I'm looking forward to trying the chicken. The bread for the sandwiches is so perfect I wish I didn't love it so much! They give it a little toast and it's fluffy and crisp around the edges. Sides are okay but it's the meat here that brings the hungry to the yard!"

Shabu Shabu

★★★★☆ 4 (220)

"Shabu Shabu is a very good hot pot restaurant that is a fun time! I've been twice and both times it's been very busy with wait times, so be prepared for that! It's a price fixe menu and you select your broth base with a variety of options. I had the Szechuan base when I came in and ordered it the hot level. I was a little worried it would be all heat, but was pleasantly surprised that it had a very good flavorful broth with a kick of heat on top. You can also add on a grill offering where you grill your own meats at the table. That's a nice option, but I prefer just the hot pot since it's very filling and I found I typically skipped the grilled meats. You select as many meats, veggies, noodles, eggs, etc from the buffet and conveyor belt. They also have sushi and desserts. Be warned that it gets very hot in the restaurant with all the grills and boiling broth happening. The servers are attentive and they have wine, beer and sake. Come very hungry because it's a filling meal!"

Caney Fork River Valley Grille

★★★★☆ 3.5 (796) • $$

"Unexpected little gem of a place. I have to admit I judged a book by its cover and this time I was supremely wrong. When we arrived to stay at a near by place for a few days I saw this place and while it was crowded I overlooked it. I wrongly assumed it was busy because of its proximity to hotels and attractions, not because of their food or service. I was wrong on both accounts. Caney Fork is busy because they are good. We came here on our last night of our honeymoon to get some food after being out all day. The day before we had gone to their attached ice cream place and found that they were both family owned and since the restaurant offered wild game meat my husband was super interested in trying it. We came here before 5 on a Sunday so it wasn't packed with people and were greeted and seated super fast. Our server Red was awesome. He was personable and knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions. We got the wild game platter and also the surf and turf. The wild game platter had fried gator, Cajun frog legs, elk patties and, wild game sausage along with their outfitter stew. The gator wasn't tough it was fried perfectly and had great flavor. The frog legs were tender and flavorful. The patties were a little dry but I imagine that in a burger they would be amazing and paired with the bbq sauce that came with them took any dryness away. The sausage was bursting with flavor and the stew reminded me of an Irish beef stew or a nice hearty winter stew. The surf and turf had an 8oz sirloin that was perfectly cooked and juicy. The shrimp was bbq grilled and bursting with flavor. The sides were had were the campfire potatoes that had a great crunch and the onions only complimented the flavor. And the deep fried cheese curds were not overly greasy and had the perfect melted consistency. It was a fun dining experience. The restaurant is done amazingly with tons of fun things to see and to discover. The waterfall lake with fish were fun to be seated by and provided their own entertainment. Like I said before Red our server was awesome. Fun and funny and made it more of an experience. He wanted us to enjoy everything which is what exactly happened. Next time I am in the area I will definitely be back for the food and also the service. Check this place out for something fun for the family or a date or just for good food."

"Yum! Solid spot. Great BBQ and friendly service. Very casual and no nonsense but everyone inside was friendly and it was spotless and well-maintained inside. We stopped in about 25 minutes before close so they were sold out of ribs for the day and nearly out of brisket so my husband snagged the last platter of Brisket while I got a pulled pork sandwich served with Cole slaw on it and pickled red onion and pickles on the side. My side was Texas baked beans. They were good but a bit spicy! I added the jalapeño cornbread for $1 and it was fresh, moist and well worth the addition! My pulled pork was delicious. A huge portion on the sandwich and very moist and flavorful. It's dry and you add your sauce from the table. Their sweet tea was SO good. I had like 3 cups of it. Tasted just like my grandma's!"

"Omg this food truck is amazing. I ordered the Carolina Style Pulled Pork with Mac and cheese and collards. The bbq is kind of sweet, with a molasses style base. It's a sweet barbecue and not too much vinegar. The Mac and cheese is a shell style mac. It was creamy and really good. The collards were also on point. I usually ask for vinegar but these didn't need any extra. The cornbread was sweet as well and not crumbly at all. Totally a winner here. Great food truck."

Center Point Barbecue

★★★★☆ 3.7 (276)

"Overall not bad. The setting is a cozy classic country BBQ spot with nice staff.Tried two meat plate with 2 sides, of Sliced Brisket and pulled pork, fried Okra and turnip greens which was almost $30. The brisket was a tad dry, but not tough, and good flavor with a char edge. The pulled pork strangely did not have flavor, but was tender. Their mild sauce is a perfect vinegar BBQ sauce that was the saving grace for the pork. The fried okra was a big portion for the side (which I think cost extra), and the pieces are pretty heavy breading, but not soggy. The turnip greens had a slight sweetness to them, and were really soupy which is not my thing. There was a white sauce that came with the meal, which wasn't white BBQ, and seemed like a gravy of sorts that I've never had before. Tasted ok with the corn cake!Food was up quick for lunch."

J Street Korean Grill & Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (73)

"Very surprised by our visit for AYCE Korean BBQ. This restaurant was much larger than we thought and lots of options on the menu. The staff was nice and our server Danni gets 5 stars! I have done AYCE Korean before (many times) and this one was a little different. You get to choose 2 meats and 3 Banchans (sides) for the table per round/order. That was a little odd, because they consider rice and wrappers as sides. Plus it's nice when all the traditional Korean banchans are out on a table. But our server was great and we figured out how to time is so we can get what we wanted with our meal. I just don't know how large groups would do that? Maybe consider 2 banchan requests per customer for each round? Banchan and meat portions were good. Also meat quality was great. Really good Bulgogi and pork belly. Kimchi was good and we really went because they had radish wrappers! We haven't seen those in Nashville, just lettuce usually. Now if they had rice wrappers and fish cake that would be awesome! Also no steamed egg here. They put Yum Yum sauce in your trio of sauces which we thought was odd. They do have Mac & Cheese, Fries and Chicken Nuggets (their version) as sides, if your kiddo is not a Korean BBQ fan - that was cool. The offer vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream at the end but we were full. Food overall was good. Very clean and great ventilation - you didn't smell at all like you came out of a Korean BBQ Restaurant. Also, lots of seating options, especially for groups and parties which was cool. Full bar and food drink/beer selection - wish they had Hite beer on the list."

The Candied Rib Company

"Remarkable food and exceptional customer service! When I saw all the five-star reviews I had to go see what the fuss was about. The reviews are well-earned!Let's cut to the chase. You're reading this review because you found The Candied Rib Company. Go try their food! You will not be disappointed. In fact, I think it is safe to say that even with all their fantastic reviews, your expectations will be exceeded. Trust me on this.Note that this is mostly a takeout spot, though they have a couple of tables to sit at while you wait, so... you know... Or you could just eat in your car or take it home. Worth it either way!I live about a half hour away, but finally made the journey this past weekend. I wish I had visited them sooner!This is mostly a BBQ restaurant, I would say, but their menu is a little varied so it is sort of hard to categorize them. But they are so good at what they do!I had the Baby Back Ribs, sloppy style (though you can also get them dry rubbed without sauce). They were cooked to absolute perfection, moist and tender and delicious. I had their potato salad, even though I knew it wasn't the style I normally prefer, and I was very impressed.My wife got the Burnt Ends, which were also cooked to perfection and smokey and flavorful. Yes, of course I her for sharing with me! She also got the Honey-Glazed Broccoli, which was phenomenal. And that's coming from a guy who normally skips the vegetables and goes right for the meat. This side dish is simple, and yet executed with perfection. Charred and a little sweet with the light glaze, and cooked perfectly.The owners are a great team, running a great business and clearly having fun at it. And they make the experience of being a customer fun too.I can't say enough about what a great experience we had at The Candied Rib Company. Give them a try and you will definitely become a repeat customer."

Arisu Korean BBQ & Tofu

★★★★☆ 4.4 (53) • $$

"There's no KBBQ spots near where I live so I was excited to try Arisu while in TN for my birthday week.Honestly I'm not sure if they're trying to be an upscale Korean BBQ restaurant with their fancy gold dinnerware, I definitely felt like I was at a regular restaurant. I missed the huge overhead vents that classic KBBQ spots in CA would have too, that just adds to the ambience.I ordered the spicy rice cake and corn cheese. My husband also got the corn cheese, and the pork belly. I think both of us enjoyed the corn cheese cause who wouldn't enjoy some corn with a heaping amount of cheese... but our main dishes were definitely lacking. I tried some of the pork belly and it didn't have much flavor. It tasted very salty and fatty. I don't think it was worth the $25 price tag. My spicy rice cake was decent but nothing special.If we were to give them a second try I'd probably try their bulgogi beef. Maybe their spicy rice cake and pork belly just aren't the best options on their menu.Service was decent. Our waitress was friendly and came around to check up on us. The restaurant was surprisingly empty for it being a Sunday evening but it may also be because they're a little overpriced.Overall I would say Arisu is ok. Nothing like KBBQ I've had in CA though. Hopefully there are more authentic spots in TN."
