I found myself over at Bellevue for dinner, 2 hours before my hockey game. I wanted quality food…read morebut not super carb heavy but also not something that could potentially wreck my stomach. After all, can you imagine having digestive problems while playing hockey? I love barbecue so I thought I'd try this place. I walked in and it wasn't at all busy at 5:32. However when I finished my order, the line was out the door. I asked the cashier what was good and the manager (maybe owner) walked over and I asked him. I wanted ribs or brisket, but needed a 2nd opinion. He said he would choose brisket because theirs is USDA Prime and he would put it against any other barbecue restaurant in Tennessee. Those are some bold words. So I ordered the brisket platter (fatty portion) with green beans and cinnamon baked apples. What I received was 3 good sized portions (1/2 pound) of fatty brisket. The meat was tender, melt in your mouth without an overbearing amount of fat clumped together. The bark was salty and very peppery. It was actually good enough to eat without a sauce. Speaking of, there was only one sauce on the table, so I used that. It was a sweet sauce, definitely honey-based but not overly sweet like other honey-based sauces I've had in the past. The thing is I love everything honey-related, so I would definitely buy this to take home. It was so good, I was scavenging for brisket fibers on my plate. So I praised the brisket but I think the shocker was the green beans. These were hands down, the best green beans I've ever had...ever. Salty, tender, peppery, with chunks of meat and fat, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Who would have thought that a side could be that good? Last but not least, the Cinnamon Baked Apples. I love baked/fried apples. Something about the tart and sweetness brings me back every time. The apples were soft, but not mushy. I would have liked them to be a little more tender and more slices of apples. I think there was more sauce than apples but nevertheless, they were great. Overall I'm glad I visited Honeyfire for the first time. I'm here often (near Bellevue) so I'll definitely be coming back again and again.

The owner even came out to chat with us and was absolutely delightful. The whole vibe is warm and welcoming, and the salt-and-pepper shaker collection inside is worth a visit on its own. They also have live music, and from what we heard while we were there, the musicians are top-notch and well worth the trip.

My dear Ronnie's BBQ,…read more You never opened your doors, and now, after seeing the calendar, I understand why. Juneteenth came, and with it, another day spent staring longingly at your darkened windows. I don't imagine you'll ever read this letter, but my heart insists that I write it anyway. Ronnie's... oh, Ronnie's. I was beginning to believe again. I had visions of smoky barbecue, tender pulled pork, and the comfort only your food could bring. But every time I arrived these past months, I was met not with the smell of hickory smoke, but with locked doors and silent parking lots. My hope faded a little more with each visit. When your lights are on, the world feels right. But when I pull into the parking lot and find another "Closed" sign staring back at me, I realize that ours is a love destined to be tested by unfortunate timing. Perhaps fate simply refuses to let us be together. Perhaps I am forever cursed to crave what I cannot have. You've broken my heart more times than I care to admit. And yet, somehow, I know that if I saw your "Open" sign tomorrow, I would come running back without hesitation. Such is the burden of loving great barbecue. So I leave you with this letter--not in anger, but in sorrow. I return to you my appetite, though I suspect it will find its way back the moment your smoker starts up again. Until that glorious day, I must try to move on... though we both know I won't. Forever waiting in your parking lot, Your most loyal, and repeatedly heartbroken, customer.

There were signs saying 'Drive through only' and it wrapped around the smoker pit, and stack of hardwood. The smoke/meaty smell was making me hungry and stomach growl before I could get to the order speaker.

They worked with me to get me an out of town hungry guy tray...ok I ordered 1/2 # of most meats. I ended up with brisket, smoked chicken, pulled pork, and some ribs. The half smoked chicken was some of the best I have had in my life, and was the fist thing I finished off. Lots of great flavor and tenderness. The ribs were tender, flavorful and made me want more. The brisket was tender, juicy and just full of flavor. The pulled pork was also good and very tasty. I'd go back for more if I am ever in the area

Yes, yes, and yes! Do try this place. What a gem in little White Bluff, TN! We love finding great eating spots away from the crowds in downtown. My husband and I have only recently discovered Korean food. Apparently we have been living under a rock. The first place we tried was up Charlotte Pike the other direction. No complaints, it was delicious but we like to try allll the places. Fat Tiger came across my social media and I immediately yelped it. We love the beautiful drive along Highway 70 going towards Dickson so thought this place would be fun to try. We are SO glad we did! The restaurant itself has an industrial look to it and honestly seems a bit out of place where it is. Quirky, which I love. The inside decor is tasteful and spacious and comfortable. This is an order at the counter establishment. We went with what I had read the most reviews about. Started with the sweet potato tempura. It was so good and enough to make a meal out of! That chili drizzle is epic. My husband tried the Bulgogi and I ordered boneless Korean Fried Chicken!! Chefs kiss for both choices!! That fried chicken is something to dream about! All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. The place was clean, even the bathrooms! it was so good that I took my daughter back a week later. We cannot wait to go again. read more

We couldn't wait to try Fat Tiger when they opened. The owners were very accommodating when it came to going over the menu with me because of my many allergies. I had the fried chicken with the Fat Tiger sauce. I had it with their cole slaw and white rice. A little spicy, but I like places that are not afraid of flavor. We try to go at least once a month to see what is new on the menu and now I love their "potato" pancakes. There is always something new. The owners are the nicest people and staff is very helpful. I like that they have a reward system for coming there often. Highly recommend. read more

I'm not sure if this is just how Nashville spot operate, but all of the raw meat is self-serve at the buffet, near the ready-to-eat self-serve buffet. I'm from Chicago where this is not the norm, and raw meat order are brought out by the staff. There is just a lot of room for cross-contamination, especially when you can't trust other patrons to be food-safe and conscientious about raw meat vs. ready-to-eat handling. That in mind, we came for lunch right when they opened, hoping there would be less traffic and less room for cross-contamination from other patrons. Everything was going great and we were enjoying food, but the restaurant had hired a content/video person to come out that day. At first he was fine, and he asked if it was okay if we were in his video shots while we were at the buffet. I'm a content creator for fun, so I get wanting to get b-roll of the common areas and people might be in it, so we gave him the okay with that assumption. This guy proceeds to follow us back to our table and film us grilling the food and eating. We kept politely asking him to let us be so we could enjoy our meal together, but eventually had to aggressively say he should leave us alone. This whole time, our server was nowhere to be found. I know that's a very niche one-off experience but it really turned me off from our dining experience. I had originally planned to do an organic reel/tiktok to highlight the spot on my personal channels but scrapped it after that experience. Partially because I was worried about their content guy finding my channels, since he was pretty upset when we told him we wanted to be left alone. The experience outside of that was fine. Meat quality was just okay, not bad but I've definitely had better quality from AYCE. There's a place in Clarksville we enjoy that we'll probably stick to, even with the drive in mind.

The sashimi portions were unusually thin and oddly shaped--some pieces looked more like narrow strips than the generous cuts you'd expect. It gave me the impression that the fish was sliced as thinly as possible to create more pieces. The fish tasted okay, but the portion sizes simply didn't justify the price. The presentation was also underwhelming. There was no garnish or attention to detail, making the platter look very basic for what we paid. The piece by the fork for reference, maybe because it's a Friday night, last run? And they just scraped whatever left and gave it to us? We also ordered the pho, and unfortunately it wasn't much to write home about either. The noodles weren't fully cooked. Maybe I should have just ordered the Thai dishes, but if you're going to offer sushi on the menu, it should be held to the same standard. Customers shouldn't have to guess which parts of the menu are worth ordering.
