    Watermelon and Raspberry

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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. :)

    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

    On a hot Tennessee day, this shaved iced was exactly the thing to cool us off for a few minutes.

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

We were prepared to try the renowned beef tartare and the potato bread, but we didn't expect to love every other menu item as much as we did! The lamb dumplings were a surprise standout--not so much for the dumplings themselves as the PHENOMENAL vegetable accompaniments. The carrot puree and single baby onion were absolute bombs of flavor. The scallop paired perfectly with the pea and cream sauce poured atop it. Everythjng was artfully and expertly presented! This place has earned its Michelin star and continues to show itself worthy of it. The staff take their time explaining the foods to you, kneeling to be at eye level with you. They fold up your napkin every time you leave the table. They seem happy to be there, and chef Trevor runs an exciting, energy-giving kitchen that was open for us to see!

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.
