They have a great food selection and it was a nice setting, I felt like every shelf was full which gave me choices for the things I wanted.

This ALDI is located right off of Charlotte Pike. You can gain entry from the main road or from the…read moreside road which it officially sits on. If you are not familiar with ALDI, think the Dollar General of grocery stores. It has the same vibe with layout, brand names, pricing, variety of goods, etc...Don't get me wrong, I mean no shade by this comparison, as ALDI has some solid stuff at really great prices and on occasion I hit them up before Kroger and/or Publix. While you may not shop there, I bet you did know that you need a quarter to get a cart! I like this, as the parking lot stays pretty clean and there are always carts up front! The other pecular things about ALDI is that you must have your own bag or purchase reusable bags, but you can get boxes to carry your stuff if they have them out and available. Once you ring up, the cashier places your items in an empty cart and once paid you stroll over to the counter to bag/box your own items. Again, it keeps things moving so I ain't mad at it! ALDI carries a scaled down and off brand of many of your supermarket staples, and they even carry fresh meat. The meat prices are always a little too high for me, so I stick with the chips, snacks, cookies, frozen veggies and frozen meals/meats on my trips in. Another great area is the deli meat/cheese and dip section. This cooler area is jammed with a variety of solid items at great prices! Lastly, the wine...just go it! Service is always hit and miss at this ALDI, but it is never just terrible. They are quick and efficient for the most part, but not super friendly. Between this and the constant disarray that some of the aisles always seem to be in is why the fifth star is missing. Overall, when in need or close by, this ALDI location will certainly do!

2.5 My initial…read moreexperience at BBB was okay. Fine, even. But the after effect (if you will) left a sour taste in my mouth. To wit... I had some unexpected free time on a Monday in the middle of summer so I decided to take a trip to The Nations and see what was going on. I'd heard of BBB but I am so rarely out west that I chalked such tales up to 'that's nice; probably won't go.' I parked down the street and made my way to the building. As advertised, it's a butchery so don't expect much in the way of ambiance but you're not here for sconces and comfy seats. You're here for delicious meat. Lunch hours are brief and the regulars know the hustle so you should come prepared to know what you want and hop to it. I kept it simple: cheeseburger (no mayo), beef fat potatoes (again, no mayo) and a beer. The amount? $30. I bristled but chalked it up to the game that is new Nashville. Within an appropriate amount of time my order was ready. I donned my sunglasses and hit the patio to dig in. As I said above, the food was fine. The cheeseburger was pretty simple (so as to showcase the meat): patties, American cheese, mustard, and pickles). The sandwich looked nice (not especially large) and it tasted... fine. Not being a big red meat eater I fear the nuance of what I was tasting was a bit lost on me. Now, I have had meat that made me sit up and notice. This was not that... but I may not be the best judge. The potatoes were... fine. Fried in beef fat (before it was trendy), the execution is simple: kosher salt. Fine. I didn't think it was $30 fine but the days of Rotier's are long gone. I bussed my mess and drove home. It wasn't long before my lunch sat like a log in my belly. To be expected what with the combo of allergens I just ingested. My discomfort was of my own doing but I did wag my finger at myself for doing it to myself for the price point.* Fine. What wasn't fine was having my card overcharged. That sucked. *Yes, yes. Quality. Ingredients. Price of doing business. I know these things.

The summer months are definitely busier and have lot more vendors but I have never once been disappointed by the selection of veggies, flowers, plants, and pantry stables they have.

This tent-style farmers market is outdoors every Saturday all year. Catch the summer market…read more(usually April-October) from 9-12 or the winter market from 10-12. The summer market is busy with lots of dog walkers and about 100 vendors. The Instagram and website are well-maintained weekly to where you can view a map and last-minute changes before you visit. Some vendors are to-go foods like coffee, empanadas, or breakfast sandwiches. Some vendors will sell you produce to cook later from meats to mushrooms. Some vendors even have pick up options for their CSA boxes during farmers market hours. You'll find all cultures represented. I've seen Korean egg sandwiches, Argentinian empanadas, Polish perogis, Japanese taiyaki, Cajun crawfish, French bakeries (highly recommend Cocorico), and Somali breakfast goodies (highly recommended The Horn). And of course good ole fashion TN meats, produce, sauces, soups, and more. Feel free to enjoy your food on the grass as a picnic or on a park bench. The farmers market organizers will be playing music from their info tent. Parking is free all around Sylvan Park neighborhood including Richland Park lots on the north and south borders of the park. You can ride a bike to park at their bike racks. While you're there, feel free to checkout a library book or hit around a tennis ball.

Should you fancy yourself a treat, there's everything one might desire from a local market, from southern-style vegan food to freshly made cinnamon rolls and sparkling lemonade. Be aware that, considering these are smaller, home-grown vendors, some of their quantities are limited. You may want to arrive a bit earlier in the day if you have your eye on something in particular. If you're a local to the area, you will most likely see someone you know. In fact, one weekend, there were at least three families we recognized in the park! This makes your shopping experience that much more personal and pleasant, especially in pandemic times. Take a leisurely stroll through the different stalls, making small talk with strangers, sellers, and friends alike. That's my kind of Saturday. We ended up purchasing a beautiful blanket from The Nashville Blanket Project which gives a blanket to someone in need for each one purchased. It comes with an adorable "Keep Nashville Cozy" tote bag. My partner also purchased a (high premium) banana pudding in glassware that he devoured in a matter of minutes. (I'm not sure I recommend the double-digit price tag on that on, delicious as it was and vegn as it was.) All the stalls were dappled in sunlight, and the winter air felt more like a summer breeze. There must be something like magic in the air here.

As my second stop on my west farmer's market adventure, I was quite blown away by this location!…read more Produce galore, numerous vendors, COFFEE from Bongo Java, live music, all of it right within my reach! Sigh. I did wish I had stopped here first! Everyone was very friendly and there was anything and everything you could ask for at a Farmer's Market! This was much more of a "bustling market" and since it is on the grass, families were able to spread out blankets and could stay to enjoy the live music! I very much enjoyed walking through and browsing, but as I had already purchased what I needed from the other farmer's market, I did not purchase anything this time around. However, I did feel that the vendors at the other location were a bit more personable and were very generous with samples and talking about what they offer. This one lacked that slightly, but overall had more of what I needed.

The array of Mexican spices and dried chiles is substantial, among the best I've seen in Nashville. The employees were quite friendly with me. There are reports of low-quality meat at the carnicería, but I cannot attest to that.

Of course some produce like bananas come from a distance but much is from our neck of the woods. Mike Baudinot's store is conveniently near the I-40 Old Hickory exit, so for West Nashy neighbors Bellview Produce is easy to visit. You will know the owner when you see him since Baudinot is a down-home big teddybear of a man. The mouthful of juicy goodness when I bit into one of his red ripe Jetsetter tomatoes was blissful. I love the fresh okra and also like the Tennessee maple syrup, raw honey, cane sorghum and preserves here. Sometimes the bottles of Mrs. Renfro's Salsa sell out, but when her spicy product is in stock it's a good buy for garnish or dipping. In closing I must say that blackberries in Bellevue are best at Baudinot's Bellview Produce.

They had a nice set up with some live music playing and a solid amount of tents. However, the produce was quite limited when I was here with only two tents offering fresh veggies and such. Bummer! They had a donut truck on site, but couldn't see any area to get coffee. Boo! However, I did enjoy the samples and left with some items, and was pleased overall. UNTIL I went to the other Farmer's Market on Charlotte. I have to give them a higher rating. Mostly because it lacked the produce variety and no coffee!
