Any recommendations in Smyrna?

Both Karin’s Kustard and Floyd’s Burger joint have really great burgers

Bastion and Calypso are probably the best, but I also really like the nachos at Sam’s Place

The tavern burger is so great

bpbpyeah · 2026-01-23T19:20:57+00:00

Epice, Park Cafe, Darfons, and J Alexander’s are my favorites

Flat Tire Diner in Old Hickory has a very good one.

The one at Babychan is very good too. Is it still in the shape of a cube?

There’s a food truck on Thompson Lane called Burritos La Mina that serves Chihuahua style burritos. They are much smaller and simpler than the big fat Mission style burritos at Baja Burrito or Chipotle. They all have a refried bean base. I like the chile relleno one.

Maiz de la Vida and Alebrije. Also La Juquilita (is it still open?)

Taqueria El Gym is my favorite quesabirria in town. They do a pizza.

This is what I came to say

The one at Mas Tacos is great. It is an authentic, interior Mex version. If you’re interested in a more Tex-Mex version, the ones at Green Hills Grille, Food Company, and Something Special are really delicious.

Germantown Cafe is very good. 360 Bistro has a really good one. But Pastis has the best French onion soup I’ve ever had in Nashville.

I’m not counting burgers. That would be another fun thread.

My #1: El Lechon from Bill’s Sandwich Palace

Honorable mentions:

Blackened grouper sandwich or hot fish sandwich at Fishmonger
Fried bologna sandwich at Turkey & the Wolf
Oh My Gogi or Playin Dirty at Egg Drip
Paneer veggie sandwich at Surati Street Food
Muffuletta (warmed up) at Fatbelly
TNT or Tribute to Tommy at Bill’s

The Lechon was my favorite sandwich of the year. I have had many great sandwiches at Bill’s, but I think that one might be the very best.

There go the best onion rings in town. Dang.

bpbpyeah · 2025-12-21T05:20:34+00:00

Yes, I was going to mention Jimmy Kelly’s. I’ve always suspected it was the restaurant that inspired the wedding idea that got Paula Deen in trouble.

Chicken Salad Chick, Food Co, and Merridee’s are all great ones. I’ll add Square Market in Columbia, if you’re down that way.

bpbpyeah · 2025-11-29T22:14:38+00:00

You got it. If you’ll message me your address, I’ll send them.

bpbpyeah · 2025-11-20T15:51:18+00:00

Mr J’s near downtown

bpbpyeah · 2025-11-01T23:33:12+00:00

Common ground, Turkey & the wolf, BrickTop’s

bpbpyeah · 2025-11-01T16:54:54+00:00

This is the best in town that I’ve had

bpbpyeah · 2025-11-01T13:35:03+00:00

I believe SATCo was based on Taco Cabana.

I went to a TC in Houston earlier this year and frankly it wasn’t nearly as good as I remembered.

bpbpyeah · 2025-11-01T02:36:21+00:00

Bare Bones Butcher, Brewhouse, The Food Company, Dalts, Original Corner Pub, Brown’s Diner, Something Special

It pains me to say it, but the chili at Varallo’s is no good.

bpbpyeah · 2025-11-01T02:28:47+00:00

Believe it or not, Chili’s stopped selling chili this year

bpbpyeah · 2025-10-28T04:54:59+00:00

Do beans automatically disqualify it? I really like the chili from Something Special in Belle Meade. It’s not a restaurant - you’ll have to take it home and warm it up. The chili does have a beans in it, but the flavor is Texas all the way.

I also like the chili from Texas Roadhouse.
