    Great food truck that brings a fun Hawaiian treat to Nashville. Plenty of flavors. They will come to special events.

    They sell out quickly so get there early and cop a squat under the big Tiffany blue umbrella and enjoy a treat!

    It was amazing! If you see them out and about cop a squat under the big Tiffany blue umbrella and enjoy a cold treat in this summer heat.

    Loved this little truck! It was located across from Draper James in the 12South neighborhood of Nashville. They have lots of flavors and the ice is real shaved ice. Grab a shaved ice and go take pics at the striped wall across the street or just lounge in one of the benches and enjoy it on a hot summer day!

    On a hot day, this shaved ice really hit the spot! I got the piña colada flavor and was pleasantly surprised. I've been to shaved ice spots where all of the flavoring sits at the bottom, but here all of the ice was pretty evenly coated. For the price, you don't get a ton of shaved ice, but it was still worth it in my opinion. If you see this little truck on the side of the road, you should definitely give it a try!

    Had a wide variety of classic flavors like blue raspberry, watermelon, strawberry, piña colada and such but also had 'premium' topping flavors such as Key lime pie! Had blue raspberry and strawberry. The strawberry was so natural and delicious! The blue raspberry was good too. The only criticism I have is that it is a bit expensive for shaved ice. I paid $5 for a medium which is a bit steep. It also took a while to get the ice because there were only two people working. Nonetheless very yummy and would visit again!

    Absolute best place to get shaved ice in Nashville. Since moving from Texas I have been looking for a great shaved ice place to take the kids and Blue Monkey definitely fits the bill!

    Look for the aqua blue truck!

    I was expecting this to be a glorified snow cone. Noooo. It was awesome! Several of the flavors are fresh, homemade syrups and the shaved ice is very fine, like snow. I've been craving another. :)

    I got the lemonade flavor. So good and much needed to cool down in the heat. We were near Draper James, taking pictures with all the murals when we spotted this truck and thought it's be the prefect treat!

    Awesome.  As can be.    Will be back again

    On a hot Tennessee day, this shaved iced was exactly the thing to cool us off for a few minutes.

    despite working around the corner from here, I had never tried this until recently and was very…read morepleasantly surprised! The staff were super nice and gave me helpful recommendations for what to ha have. I had the harvest melt sandwich which is a turkey sandwich with brie, squash, turkey, seed pesto, and a sage leaf on sourdough bread. when I went, though, they were out of sage leaves which was fine by me and were also out of turkey so I had it with chicken instead. I haven't had this sandwich with turkey, but I thought it was excellent (and dare I say, better) with the chicken. The bread was perfectly golden brown and crispy and which went super well with the soft texture of the squash and chicken and the tangyness of the brie and pesto. It was just such a delicious sandwich and I can't wait to have it again!

    Order at the counter, pay before you eat style, and food is brought out to you…read more I have been waiting to return to Nashville so I can go back to the Grilled Cheeserie to get a Pimento Grilled Cheese. I tried this place 3 years ago when I was passing through Nashville on my way to Texas. I loved the grilled cheese so much I had to stop again on my way back through Nashville. Thankfully, the quality and taste of the food has not changed since my last visit 3 years ago. Which is an unfortunate common situation. Everyone in my party ordered something different, so I was lucky enough to try a bit of everyone's food. As I said before, I got the pimento mac and cheese grilled cheese, it was the perfect blend of all flavors. Others got the classic grilled cheese which had massive cheese pulls, and chicken pesto grilled cheese. They have a milkshake bar with a variety of flavors, the restaurant is designed in that classic "old school diner" style. The milkshakes were big, they even give you the extra that doesn't fit in the mug. Everyone in my party had raving reviews which only confirmed that this place has not changed. Will be looking forward to coming back here on my next visit.

    Must try when in Nashville…read more This spot is inside Cyanide Cider, which is a really cool combo. As a tourist this is a grest spot to check out. You can have some great food, cider and even hang and play some board or card games. Everyone is super nice and welcoming both at Cyanide and Birria Babe. The food was great. We tried the Birria Trio (chicken, beef, lamb) tacos. All were great but the lamb was my favorite. It's a little more fatty ans softer. The beef and chicken were great as well. We also tried the Birria Ramen which i thought was great. They provide a good amount of beef and the broth is rich and flavorful. The pizza was bit too cheesy for me but I love trying new things so Im glad I did. We were told that they experiment and rotate different fun birra specials often. The salsas are all great. I like the spicy which has strong garlic and very unique flavor to it. The avocado salsa also stood out, almost a guac like flavor. All sauces were very unique and amazing. The cashier was super nice and we spent some time talking to the owner, drinking cider and hanging and pigging out. An afternoon well accomplished...

    I've seen them on Insta and if you haven't been..stop by and have some tacos!…read more They are inside Cyanide Cider (seriously, what an awesome combo). Their staff is so sweet!
