Close to our building. One of the best in Nashville. Famous for their Whole Hog pulled pork BBQ. Typically very crowded. You do not have to go in front entrance on 4th ave though. Go around the back off of 3rd. That is where the open air beer garden is located. You may still have to wait but you can grab a cold one while in line! Tables are first come, first served. You order on your own at window. Same for order beer at the bars. Not the type of place for fancy service but great food and atmosphere.
