When we’re looking for restaurant partners, we’re searching for the best of the best from trendy downtown restaurants to scrappy food trucks to hidden-gem mom and pops. We’re proud of our roster and each year we celebrate it with the Best of Fooda awards, asking you to choose your favorites. The votes are in, and here are your winners for Nashville’s Best of Fooda 2019. 

Best BBQ | Single Best Lunch – Blue Moon BBQ

2323 Elliston Place, Nashville, TN

It’s official, Blue Moon BBQ is Nashville’s Single Best Lunch for the third year in a row! Fooda audiences love their housemade sauces, Texas-style brisket, pulled pork, and smoked chicken as well as vegetarian options including meatless green beans and broccoli casserole. Pro-tip: get in line early, these guys sell out of mac and cheese pretty much every day. And while you’re there, scope out the banana pudding, it’s made from scratch and worth a try.

Best American – Nashville Chicken and Waffles

For those of you keeping track, Amigo’s Mexican Grill is a repeat Best of Fooda winner, and for good reason!
