Product Info

On our Secret Food Tours East Nashville, you'll step into one of the city's most creative and flavour-packed neighbourhoods, where music, history, and Southern hospitality come together. Starting at Hunter's Station on Main Street, a former automotive garage now anchoring the neighbourhood's creative economy, this tour moves through the blocks of Five Points and Historic East Edgefield that tell the full story of this area's reinvention.

Your guide will point out the "I Believe In Nashville" mural, walk you past Woodland Studios, where Robert Plant, Emmylou Harris, and Neil Young all recorded, and introduce you to neighbourhood institutions like Caldwell Guitars and Fanny's House of Music.

The food follows the same logic as the neighbourhood: deeply Southern, but sharper than you expect. You'll start with pulled pork BBQ slow-cooked in the Tennessee pitmaster tradition, then move on to a handcrafted CrustBurger, a neighbourhood staple that holds its own against anything in the city. Golden hush puppies come next, followed by Nashville hot chicken with the kind of heat that builds slowly, and a crispy catfish taco from a quiet anchor of the Five Points food scene. The tour closes with our Secret Dish, kept under wraps until you're standing right there.

Throughout the tour, you'll enjoy water with your tastings, or upgrade to our Drinks Package for a Bushwhacker frozen cocktail, a Willie Pop Boozy Slushy, and a Bourbon Tea paired with your tastings along the way.
