Escape: 7 best food spots to try in Nashville

6. Best BBQ

Martin’s

You do have to have BBQ while you’re in Nashville, and Martin’s is the place. There are three outposts in the city, all with a big menu for big appetites. Our tip: get a BBQ tray for two sides and a pile of meat, and choose from their signature pulled pork, brisket, turkey, catfish and more. Or man up for the Redneck Taco – a cornbread hoecake filled with meat, salads and hot sauce. Wash it all down with a cold beer or a sweet tea, play some darts and enjoy.
