If you’re looking for some West Tennessee style barbecue while you’re in Nashville, Martin’s is the place to go. Their specialty is the “redneck taco” – a cornbread hoe-cake topped with your choice of meat, slaw and sauce. Their downtown Nashville location has a backyard beer garden that’s perfect for hanging out with friends, especially during football season when Martin’s will have all the biggest games on.
