    Loved this place!!! Great food, great service, and great experience. We got to try Music City Brisket food truck while wondering around a food truck festival in downtown Nashville. We at at this truck and at a grilled cheese truck. I chose their rueben which was wonderful! I'd highly recommend them

    They have great food and great service. Very customer oriented and truly appreciate your business! Reasonable prices. Book them for your next event!

    Brisket Sandwich
    Tim G.

    Had the Brisket Sandwich, which is very good overall. The brisket was good, but not great, without a tremendous amount of flavor, and not super moist. My biggest problem was that the brisket I got was extremely fatty. Not just "moist brisket" with nice marbling, but a streak of fat that was probably about half the total slice. Everything else about the sandwich was really tasty, but this was a Brisket Sandwich so I would have expected more. Especially when the business is called "Music City Brisket".

    Music City Brisket is in their Grand Opening phase! A gentleman stopped by my office (nearby) right as I was thinking about lunch and handed me a card. I had to go! The flavors and portions were off the charts! Definately some of the best Bar-B-Q available! Make this stop a MUST on your Nashville to-do list!Brisket Sandwich

    Brisket Tacos, Avocado Fries
    Queen H.

    I first found out about Music City Brisket through street food Thursday's downtown Nashville food was always fresh and very delicious. I went to the location on Hayes street wasn't too busy. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door by some very friendly people. I ordered the avocado fries with a side of yum yum sauce along with 2 brisket tacos . Food was very delicious the tacos had a slight kick to em because of the fresh jalapeño they add to the pico de gallo but it wasn't too spicy I thoroughly enjoyed and will make sure to go back food did not disappoint!

    I'm really surprised to be the first reviewer for this Food Truck. My little town of Smyrna has a "Food Truck Festival" every month or so sponsored by Cousin's Maine Lobster truck (review to come for them as well) which is really just a few trucks in one of our strip mall parking lots,.. but hey.. it's how we roll here in little ole Smyrna. I am SO GLAD this truck was at this months little meet-up, as I have found yet another amazing food truck I will begin stalking. First things first- What we ordered- Brisket Sandwich- grilled ciabatta bread with caramelized onions, grilled mushrooms, green peppers, and Havarti or provolone cheese, topped with spicy Russian sauce or homemade BBQ sauce- we opted for the Spicy Russian, and it was just that! Spicy. But really good flavor. I don't eat peppers, so I picked off some of the brisket, and it was good. Fat rendered well, Good smoke, just an all around well done piece of meat in my opinion. $9.00 Shrimp Tacos- grilled, flour or corn tortilla with avocado, roasted corn, red cabbage, fresh cilantro, and a lemon wedge. Drizzled with Japanese "yum-yum" sauce. OH MY GOD! Out of 3 food trucks, and trying the "best sellers" of each one, this was by far my favorite bite of the night. And for the price, I wish I had got like 4 of those bad boys. $4.00 They also serve avocado fries that I completely forgot about ordering, and was pretty bummed about it, because the line had just gotten way too long to get back in it. And I noticed as we were leaving, they sale BRISKET BISCUITS for your dogs! $4.00 With homemade, fresh ingredients of pumpkin, honey, cinnamon, and wheat flour With a sign that read: Veterinary tested and approved! All proceeds go to the Tennessee Death Row Dogs Organization. So had I known that as well, I would have gotten my pooch something. Next time! Oh, there will be a next time! Those shrimp tacos are calling my name

    Found these guys at a St Patrick's Day party. I had the Brisket Taco and Cajun Fries. The Brisket was delicious. Meet the owner. He was very nice and friendly. The entire staff was wonderful.

    Honestly I've never been a fan of food trucks until I found Music City Brisket. The brisket was outta this world! It takes a few minutes to get your food & it's almost $10 for a sandwich. However that's because it's made to order fresh & delicious! I got a side of fries and they were great as well. Definitely a phenomenal food truck in Nashville. I'm glad we gave it a shot!

    Sexy beast

    Perfect service great food 10 out of 10 recommended. Best brisket I've ever had. The people working the truck were the nicest in the world and made sure all of our needs were met. I will be coming here again!

    Loaded fries, Cajun style with Sriracha sauce. Yum
    Drew S.

    I'm not a nashville local, but every time I'm in town I have to find the Music City Brisket truck and get some loaded fries. Cajun style. Sriracha sauce. I went so many times during CMA fest they started recognizing me . Great service. Amazing food. Must try at least once!

    Allison M.

    MCB's food truck came to my work this week. One time and I'm already hooked! I had the brisket tacos with Cajun fries. The tacos were the perfect size to fill you up without being too much. But the fries...I literally can't get over the fries. SO GOOD. I want the Cajun spice they use so I can put it on everything now. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    I needed to save this until later but it smelled so good I had to eat some

    Is this place still operating? Looks like the Hayes St. location is closed down and I haven't seen the truck downtown Thursdays in a long time. The brisket tacos and fries were the best.

    Stopped into Hogwood BBQ in Franklin for dinner after a long, exhausting day and it absolutely hit…read morethe spot. I went with the Hogwood Sampler which comes with chicken, sausage, ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, plus mac-n-cheese on the side. All in it was $27.89 plus tax, which feels like pretty fair market value for the amount and quality of food you're getting. The food itself was incredible. Way too many barbecue places lean way too hard on sauce to do the heavy lifting. That is not the case here. Every single meat had deep, legit smoky flavor on its own and honestly didn't even need sauce. That said, the sauces were also excellent. The Alabama white paired perfectly with the chicken, and the spicy tomato-based red sauce had a great kick without overpowering anything. Drink selection was another pleasant surprise. They've got Coke products and Tractor Organic Beverages. I mixed their unsweet tea with the Tractor mango and made myself a mango tea that worked way better than it had any right to. If I had to nitpick, the side selection is a little limited for my personal taste. I'm always hoping for fries or hush puppies, though to be fair that's not uncommon for BBQ joints around here. I also ran into a sticky spot on the table that clearly hadn't been fully wiped down from a previous guest. That said, the food was good enough that it still lands as a five-star experience for me. Hogwood BBQ is an excellent choice if you're looking for seriously good barbecue in Franklin.

    Wanted to love. Hoped I'd love it. I didn't love it. Actually, I didn't even like it…read more Went in hungry around 2:00. It's a counter service joint; you walk up, order, and then someone runs the food to your table. First off, they asked for a point of service tip; that bugs me when I'm ordering my own food at the counter and fetching my own drinks. The menu is fairly standard for a southern BBA joint; brisket, pulled pork, ribs, turkey, chicken. I am generally suspicious of any place that offers chopped brisket. Brisket is meant to be sliced and enjoyed as a slab of meat, not as a pile of hash. So, the chopped brisket sandwich was out for me. I asked if the brisket platter would be served as slices, and they assured me it was, so I ordered brisket with two sides. They recommended the beans and the Mac 'n cheese, so that's what I went with. They also asked me if I wanted the meat lean, marbled, or half and half; I took that as a good sign, and asked for marbled. They food came out in about 5 mins; just enough time for me to head to the soda fountain and fill my own cup. Maybe they should tip me? On the plus side, the portions were pretty large. I'm guessing that the served at least 6-8 ounces of brisket, and the individual sides were pretty large as well. On the other hand, whoever sliced the brisket simply didn't know what they were doing. They sliced it WITH the grain, producing slices full of stringy meat. Stringy meat that was hard to cut with the plastic cutlery provided. I find it hard to believe that anyone who regularly serves BBQ brisket doesn't know to cut the meat against the grain. The meat appeared to feature a nice bark; however, on further exploration, a) the bark was so tough that it couldn't be cut as all with the plastic cutlery, and b) when I tore into it with my fingers and ate a piece, it had no taste. Not even a basic Texas salt and pepper rub could be detected. A large portion of tasteless, poorly cut meat does no one any favors. The beans were a little underdone; IMHO, that's far better than mushy, overcooked beans. However, they, too, had no flavor. No spice, nada. The mac and cheese was shells in a white cheese sauce. Strike 3; zero flavor for the sauce. I don't know how you can make cheese sauce without flavor, but they managed to do so. I have never, ever thrown as much food away at a a BBQ joint than I did today. What a shame. Not recommended, not even a little bit. Try Martin's or Edley's; if you prefer a chain, Mission BBQ will do you much better than Hogwood.

We ordered from the counter & got the Pork & Brisket w Mac & Cheese as well as the Turkey Platter w Mac & Cheese. To tell the truth we weren't really expecting a great meal from a restaurant sitting inside a mall but we were 100 percent wrong because what we got was likely the best BBQ we've ever had. Every item from the entrees down to the sides ( Cornbread & Mac & Cheese ) was absolutely fantastic not to mention the tandem of servers were very attentive & did an excellent job of taking care of us. One more bonus was for new customers they will give you a complimentary Banana Pudding for dessert which also was excellent. Lastly Edley's has some of the best BBQ sauce we've ever had, especially their Alabama Sauce so we bought some plastic bottles to take back with us. Next time we are in beautiful Franklin Tennessee we will certainly return for another great meal.

Yuck! I sat in that booth. For the food, I ordered the tuck special with brisket. The brisket was all fat, no meat at all. The burnt ends were also fatty and not burnt at all. I'm giving it one star because my toddler liked his chicken wings, but overall, I was disgusted by the cleanliness of the restaurant and the food. I wouldn't recommend it.

    Absolutely the Best BBQ in Nashville - Honey Fire BBQ on Sawyer Brown Rd is a Must-Try!…read more I recently visited Honey Fire BBQ in the Bellevue area and left completely impressed. From the moment you walk in, the place feels welcoming with its clean, modern vibe and that cozy wrap-around covered porch--perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. The star of the show is their slow-smoked meats paired with that signature sweet heat sauce. The brisket was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, the ribs had the perfect bark and fall-off-the-bone texture, and the pulled pork was juicy and delicious. Their house-made sauces (especially the honey-based ones with just the right touch of tangy sweetness and a little kick) elevate everything--I've never tasted BBQ quite like this Nashville twist on tradition. Sides were equally outstanding: the baked beans had a great depth of flavor, the mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the sweet corn pudding was a standout. Everything felt fresh, generous, and made with care. Service was friendly and efficient--true Southern hospitality that made us feel like family. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, this spot delivers every time. If you're in Nashville (or driving through Bellevue), do yourself a favor and head to Honey Fire BBQ on Sawyer Brown Rd. It's become my new go-to for outstanding barbecue. Highly recommend. I will definitely return and bring friends. From our family to yours--thank you, Honey Fire!

Parking was super easy, and the woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean, and the restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of tables and room to spread out, which is always appreciated when dining with little kids. My kids played outside while we waited for our food, but the food came out quickly. The kids' meals are some of the best values in town. One tip: the bun on the kids' cheeseburger is huge compared to the patty. I asked if they could add an extra patty, and they did for just $1. After removing some of the bun, it made for a much better burger and still kept the meal incredibly affordable. The spicy chicken tacos are also some of the best tacos in town. Our family of five ate for about $50. We usually buy Edley's gift cards at Costco, so our actual cost was closer to $40. It's refreshing to have a restaurant in Nashville that truly welcomes families while still serving great food. Highly recommend for anyone dining with kids.
