The 17 Best Restaurants In The Gulch - Nashville - The Infatuation

"You’ve got plenty of options for barbecue around town, but if you’re in the Gulch, it's worth checking out Peg Leg Porker. It’s fast casual, so expect a quick-moving line to get to some of their famous pulled pork. It’s a thing of beauty, especially if you order the tender protein as a sandwich, slathered with creamy slaw. You should also try their yardbird chicken, with its smoky and sweet seasoning that strikes a satisfying balance between the crispy skin and tender meat. The smoked green beans, mac and cheese, and barbecue beans are the best sides here—just be sure to wrap your meal up with the thick and creamy banana pudding. And if the weather is playing nice, the patio out in front is perfect for some people-watching with your pork." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
