    a woman ordering from a food truck
    Jamie H.

    On a hot Tennessee day, this shaved iced was exactly the thing to cool us off for a few minutes. The amount of syrup coating the snowball shaped shaved ice was sweet & just the right amount. From the vast menu of choices, our group tried: Sour gummy worm, tart cherry/lemonade, watermelon & rainbow. Will definitely track down this food truck again over the next several months as a special treat!

    Coconut, banana, pineapple

    So delicious! We got coconut, banana, pineapple. After we got back Hawaii we craved some shave ice like we had on the island. We found a perfect treat to satisfy our craving with Blue Monkey! They didn't have ice cream when we went so hopefully they have it next time but they did have the cream for kn top. We loved it! So yummy!

    Food (5/5 stars): It was almost 100 degrees and very humid when we got here, so we had to start off our food tour with shaved ice! It brought me back to Hawaii (not Hawaii quality, but close enough) Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: not too bad * Wait Time: we waited quite a bit, but it was worth * Service: friendly and accommodating * Ambiance: it's a truck in 12 South! No seating or tables unfortunately

    Great food truck that brings a fun Hawaiian treat to Nashville. Plenty of flavors. They will come to special events.

    They sell out quickly so get there early and cop a squat under the big Tiffany blue umbrella and enjoy a treat!

    It was amazing! If you see them out and about cop a squat under the big Tiffany blue umbrella and enjoy a cold treat in this summer heat.

    Loved this little truck! It was located across from Draper James in the 12South neighborhood of Nashville. They have lots of flavors and the ice is real shaved ice. Grab a shaved ice and go take pics at the striped wall across the street or just lounge in one of the benches and enjoy it on a hot summer day!

    Very good flavors, nice truck, friendly, good service, well decorated place, park in the street, tasty.

    Had a wide variety of classic flavors like blue raspberry, watermelon, strawberry, piña colada and such but also had 'premium' topping flavors such as Key lime pie! Had blue raspberry and strawberry. The strawberry was so natural and delicious! The blue raspberry was good too. The only criticism I have is that it is a bit expensive for shaved ice. I paid $5 for a medium which is a bit steep. It also took a while to get the ice because there were only two people working. Nonetheless very yummy and would visit again!

    On a hot day, this shaved ice really hit the spot! I got the piña colada flavor and was pleasantly surprised. I've been to shaved ice spots where all of the flavoring sits at the bottom, but here all of the ice was pretty evenly coated. For the price, you don't get a ton of shaved ice, but it was still worth it in my opinion. If you see this little truck on the side of the road, you should definitely give it a try!

    Absolute best place to get shaved ice in Nashville. Since moving from Texas I have been looking for a great shaved ice place to take the kids and Blue Monkey definitely fits the bill!

    Look for the aqua blue truck!

    I was expecting this to be a glorified snow cone. Noooo. It was awesome! Several of the flavors are fresh, homemade syrups and the shaved ice is very fine, like snow. I've been craving another. :)

    Small lemonade
    Colleen K.

    I got the lemonade flavor. So good and much needed to cool down in the heat. We were near Draper James, taking pictures with all the murals when we spotted this truck and thought it's be the prefect treat!

    Awesome.  As can be.    Will be back again

    Today was my husband and I's third visit to Locust (we love it). The first two visits were special…read moreoccasions last year, and this one, my husband's birthday. I do not consider myself to be a critic, or a foodie. I don't have a sophisticated pallet. I just love a great meal. Today's meal at Locust was nothing short of spectacular. The staff is always so warm and friendly. Most restaurants with white table cloths and prices we can't really afford, give me the feeling that I do not belong- no matter how I dress or how I talk, and I often end up feeling small. This is not Locust in the slightest and it is clearly on purpose. The chefs always bend/squat down at the table at eye level, explaining any questions you may have about the menu and giving great suggestions. As a guest here, I don't feel intense hierarchy here, and I don't feel a lick of condescension. It feels like they just want to share some truly delicious and special food with you. You, no matter who you are, are more than enough at Locust. The only thing on the menu we did not get was the caviar. We saved up for a year for this meal and every dish was wonderful. Every dish feels so lovingly thought out and intentional. Each one made me close my eyes and smile as the flavors and textures invited me to be present and here with this food, not thinking about anything else in life. My favorite dish came alongside our pillow-y potato bread with perfectly toasted exterior. This was the scallop and yellowtail with black currants. I took a bite of the scallop and lost myself in the gorgeous flavors while I chewed. Then, I felt my eyes well up. "Wait wait, what? Am I about to cry from how incredible this dish is? I can DO that? But I love food and I've never felt this before?" I panicked, trying to stop myself- embarrassed at the thought of crying in a restaurant full of people. Eventually, I realized I needed to go to the restroom to splash some cold water on my face and fix my notatallwaterproof mascara. I returned to the table and told my husband that I was worried about my crying and he said that a member of the staff checked in with him when I went to the bathroom and asked if I was alright and my husband explained the situation- joyful tears. For the rest of our meal different members of the staff would often relay stories of how people have had tears of happiness after eating certain dishes there. It was a compliment to them. Suddenly, I felt at ease. This is the first time that's happened to me, and it was their amazing food that did that. What a testament to the dishes they create and the environment they provide. Stunning. The food at Locust moved me. As did the staff. It is absolutely the best meal I have ever had. I hope whoever reads this will take the chance to experience that for themselves too.

Unique flavor 3) spring lamb & vegetables x 2 - best thing of all we ordered 4) shaved ice dessert - great refreshing way to end the meal 5) crudo scallop and yellowtail - husband said a bit too salty 6) porcini rice - delicious

Absolute chef's kiss. Crispy, buttery, cheesy, and packed with flavor!

They serve Gourmet Grilled Cheese Melts, Salads, Soups, Sides, Kid's meals and Milkshakes. They also have a Classic Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Combo. I gave a 3 star overall, but I give the Grilled Cheeses a 4 star. The 3 star overall is for 1 reason. We had a couple of questions about the menu such as, do they not have the Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup or the Mac & Cheese Bowl anymore ( They have removed these items from the menu ) and the employee was kinda rude about it and I really didn't like that. Anyway--- The Sandwiches are really good and the sides were good. They also do catering and you can find them on Facebook and Instagram. There is a covered outdoor patio along with shared seating inside. It's a good place to grab a Grilled Cheese and a tasty Milkshake.
