Our Nashville Favorites
Barbecue
Peg Leg finishes our top-three barbecue joints in Nashville. This one is in the gulch, so it's a short drive or Uber from our house. The pulled pork sandwich is the best in Tennessee!

Food scene
Josephine is our favorite restaurant in Nashville for special occasions. Luckily, it's just a few blocks up 12th Ave South. It's won a James Beard award for best restaurant the South -- and it's darn good. Quiet tables, usually need a reservation...but can often get squeezed in at the bar if you don't have one.

Hawkers opened up in East Nashville this year -- so it's across town - but worth the 15-minute drive. Hawkers has an eclectic menu of Asian Street food - it's like being at a big market in Singapore or Hong Kong - we bring our kids here to eat outside. It's a lot of fun!

Legit Old School Nashville
It's too bad that John Prine passed away last March, because he was known to be a lunch regular at Arnold's. If you're looking for a classic Nashville Meat + 3, don't miss Arnold's. (Meat + 3 is a classic Southern restaurant where you are served cafeteria style - you choose a daily meat special plus 3 sides.)

Monell's - well worth the short drive to Germantown. This is a classic old-school Black-owned business that has been filling bellies forever. They bring baskets of fried chicken to the table like other restaurants bring bread. Need I say more. So good!

This is our favorite mostly-locals music venue. Hopefully post-Covid they will bring back their weekly Friday lunchtime show, which is broadcast life on WMOT Roots Radio - it always features four sets from up-and-coming country/folk/Americana artists.
