We picked this place while on the road because it was dog friendly,had live music and bbq. We were not disappointed. It's located in a nice area of east Nashville with lots of little restaurants...

Food: Although this is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant their signature St. Louis ribs are to die for. The sweet sauce was perfect. The meat falls off the bone just looking at it. Heck, the bones...

We stopped here as part of a food tour. We loved the "dive bar" feel and food was good! The bushwhacker was tasty and we would love to visit again in the area.
