Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I second this place. One of the best meals I’ve ever had

A lot of great options...what are you in the mood for? Something kid friendly?

Arriving in Nashville after 10 hours of driving with a family of five. So more likely I'll need a place that injects shots.
Yeah, a family-friendly place that is original, a place we wouldn't have to travel too far from the hotel.
where is hotel ?

A block from Nashville Music City Center
Breakfast at Pancake Pantry. Lunch or dinner casual at Monells.
I enjoy Merchants. First floor is family friendly; upstairs a little more upscale.

White Duck Taco and Ole Smoky Moonshine has a lot to offer. Great street style tacos and moonshine...plus some good outdoor/tailgate type games for family...couple blocks from back of MCC, across Korean Vets Blvd.

Monells is a great choice...but would be a few minutes drive into Germantown

The Southern. It should only be a couple blocks away from where you’re staying

Not a bad chain BBQ option...but not the best BBQ within walking distance. Take the 10 minute/5 block walk from MCC to Peg Leg Porker...you won’t be disappointed.

Buddy had last week off of residency so came down. We did a 3 day bbq tasting blitz of the town. Peg Leg, Jack Cawthorne, Edleys, Honeyfire, Butchertown, Meat Sweats, and Gambling Stick. Hate we went at 2 to Shotgun Willies as they already sold out. Was a fun little way to check some places out. The Martins downtown has some weird hours right now.

Nashville doesn’t get the bbq respect it deserves. Probably because it doesn’t have its own style like a Memphis or St. Louis...but you hit some really good bbq joints in that trip. Shotgun Willies is literally a hole in the wall but has some of the best Texas style bbq I’ve ever had.
I always stay at the Omni and frequent Martins. Solid spot for a quick bite and very cool upstairs.

Have you been since Sean left the creative director role to open up his Appalachian concept restaurant in east Nashville? Been to both the Charleston and Nashville one but haven’t been since he left. Our current favorite “upscale” local place is Henley over on West End. They take their bar scene very seriously do a good southern regional thing. Catbird is still our bucket list when we know a day my wife has open weeks in advance.

Martins is good but the Nolensville location is the best.
Curious what is the name is Charleston? I may go try it
