What to get
- Thai Esane (a Scene and local favorite)
- Saffron Kitchen (Indian; the top-voted local pick in a 2025 thread)
- DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana
- Prince's Hot Chicken outpost (note: tenders only here)
When to go
Weekday lunch is easiest; Friday/Saturday nights get packed (a visitor found it slammed at 9 pm).
Insider tip
Mon–Thu 3–6 pm happy hour. The Skydeck, billed as Nashville's largest rooftop patio and bar (up to 1,300 people), is mostly booked for events and private parties, so check the events page before heading up. Everyone in a group can order something different.
Heads up
Some stalls are pricey for what they are (a local balked at a $28 lobster roll); it's in the thick of Broadway crowds.
