    We took a weekend girl's trip to Nashville and decided to drive to Uncle Nearest to do the tour. The distillery is located in Shelbyville, TN which is an hour or so drive from Nashville depending on the traffic. We arrived early to have lunch at the Barrel House before we did our tour. The BBQ was delicious and the service was great. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming to us. We had Terrell as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and funny which made for a great tour. We all enjoyed him as our guide. At the end of our tour, we were able to meet the CEO Fawn Weaver. She is absolutely beautiful and she welcomed and greeted every guest with a hug. Meeting her was a pleasant surprise.

    I could get used to this.

    We had the absolutely pleasure of doing the Single Barrel Whiskey Thief Tour and Tasting with Julie on Aug 15. If you have the ability, get on a tour with Julie! Her knowledge is endless. Her enthusiasm for whiskey in general and TN whiskey in particular is infectious. She's humorous and engaging whether you're a whiskey novice or a brown spirits savant. She taught us so much about tasting whiskey and the techniques - everyone had an amazing time. I would definitely go back and do a different tour with her. The fantastic whiskeys we tasted helped too. Thank you, Julie!

    The experience & tour was both educational and phenomenal. Our tour guide was Karen and she was awesome!!! I loved the historical background of how Uncle Nearest evolved throughout the years and how the future plans the current owner is taking the brand. The tasting room and samples were out of this world. The shop was stocked with whiskey all the way up to the ceiling. The Tennessee Whiskey gourmet popcorn left me speechless that when I got home I ordered a case of 25 bags. All in all a very successful day except for the weather, but we can't control Mother Nature.

    We had a group of 7-8 couples go to Uncle Nearest for a tour and sampling. The grounds are an old walking horse farm and are very well maintained and beautiful to walk. I'm not a big whisky drinker, but enjoyed sampling the Uncle Nearest whiskeys and learning how to properly taste them to get the full flavors. Our taste-testing guide was Julie and she was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience very memorable. I highly recommend this tour and whiskey sampling and ask for Julie!

    The whiskey tasting at the end was held in a small room which allowed for relaxed conversation and Q&A with Brent.

I believe the burger patty was the cheap frozen kind you get at Sams or Costco. Her pizza was enjoyable but my burger was way overcooked and bland. Second visit Came here with family. FIL ordered the supreme style pizza and it seemed like none of the peppers or onions were even cooked. I think they were just thrown on the pizza to get it out to the table. I had the philly and again it was way overcooked and the inside of the bun was burnt. My son got a burger even though I warned him of my last experience. Yeah he was disappointed as well. Daughter got the GF cheese pizza. Most everything was lukewarm to cold when it got to the table. The fries were so overdone there was almost no potato left inside. It seems like GF pizza is about the only thing that is done well here. Our server was very nice and she did a great job! You seriously need to train your kitchen staff to cook and not burn stuff. For the prices you should be making stuff fresh and not using frozen from Sysco. Do yourselves a favor and go to a chain restaurant or something. Drive out of your way to avoid this place.

Their specialty is craft beer and pizza, and they I typically go for both of those when here. On a recent visit for a quick dinner, I wanted something a bit lighter because I had to go play bowling after and tried a menu item that's always intrigued me: the blueberry chicken sandwich on their house made panuozzo bread. I expected this would be like a chicken salad but the waitress said it came hot and melty, and I was in the mood for a risk. And man did the risk pay off, this sandwich was one of my favorite things I've eaten all month! It comes hot and melty with a house made pesto, blueberry compote, fontina, and thin pieces of chicken, perfectly cooked. The panuozzo bread is almost as if you made naan out of pizza dough, and it keeps everything nicely contained without making the sandwich too bready. The flavors are unexpected but work so, SO well together - truly a work of genius. I paired it with their shake shake fries, which have an awesome seasoning (not spicy, just adds flavor) and a Diet Coke. Service was so kind and helpful, even on a busy Wednesday night. I was able to get in and out within 40 minutes, which was a win for the time crunch I was in but I still felt relaxed to eat my sandwich at my leisure. I love it the level of consistency in quality and service here after so many years - I truly always know I'm guaranteed to have a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere with helpful servers every time I come. Nice dedicated parking lot in back is just an added bonus to the overall experience here!

Every time we come I want to try something different but I always go back to the double smash burger with fries. Great for large groups & kids! Servers and staff were excellent. Highly recommend Parking: they have a small lot in the front but there is additional parking in the back!
