Best BBQ in Nashville by far!!! You absolutely need to go here. All the workers are so incredibly nice. The staff are unbelievable friendly. Order the Mac and cheese, it’s the best I have ever had.

Delicious food and good service . You order inside and you can sit wherever you want. Outside you have a good view of Nashville buildings . I really recommend this place , is not far from downtown and the prices are decent. I will come back for sure .

Other Information
Best for Barbecue Because: The dry-rub ribs are a locals' must-order dish. Add some to your order.
Carey Bringle hails from West Tennessee and grew up around serious barbecue culture. A photo on the wall of Peg Leg Porker, depicting his grandfather cooking hogs in the South Pacific during World War II, attests to that. It's still a family affair at this Gulch restaurant: Bringle's wife and kids work with him in the kitchen, dining room, and business office. The white box of a building on the edge of the Gulch has a no-frills, classic barbecue joint decor. Aside from family photos on the walls, the focus here is on the food-dry-rub ribs, pulled pork, and smoked chicken with sides like smoked green beans, slaw, potato salad, and mac and cheese.
