On a hot Tennessee day, this shaved iced was exactly the thing to cool us off for a few minutes. The amount of syrup coating the snowball shaped shaved ice was sweet & just the right amount. From the vast menu of choices, our group tried: Sour gummy worm, tart cherry/lemonade, watermelon & rainbow. Will definitely track down this food truck again over the next several months as a special treat!

So delicious! We got coconut, banana, pineapple. After we got back Hawaii we craved some shave ice like we had on the island. We found a perfect treat to satisfy our craving with Blue Monkey! They didn't have ice cream when we went so hopefully they have it next time but they did have the cream for kn top. We loved it! So yummy!

Joriene M.

Food (5/5 stars): It was almost 100 degrees and very humid when we got here, so we had to start off our food tour with shaved ice! It brought me back to Hawaii (not Hawaii quality, but close enough) Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: not too bad * Wait Time: we waited quite a bit, but it was worth * Service: friendly and accommodating * Ambiance: it's a truck in 12 South! No seating or tables unfortunately

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!

Very good flavors, nice truck, friendly, good service, well decorated place, park in the street, tasty.

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!

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!

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!

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. :)

Colleen K.

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!

Blue Monkey Shaved Ice is an awesome hot day treat stop. The flavors are really good without being overwhelming, and the shaved ice itself is perfectly shaved and the ideal texture. The customer service was also great and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a fun spot for a refreshing treat, especially on a hot day. The Cool Springs location is card-only, so keep that in mind before you go. I'll definitely be back to try more flavor combinations. read more

Visited Blue Money Shaved Ice while shopping on 12 south! It was very hot out so this was the perfect treat to cool us down. Also, I've never had it before and had been wanting to try it. I love that they have a natural flavors with no dyes. I ordered a small tart cherry and it was so good! Will be back to try a different flavor soon. read more

If you're considering a shaved ice/snow cone truck for your event THIS IS THE ONE!!!! Dave and Blue Monkey have made two of our family reunions even more special. Literally, everyone of all ages keep saying they've never had anything quite as special. The snow ice, the natural flavors, the hospitality are unmatched. Blue Monkey Shaved Ice is the bomb! I highly recommend Tiger Blood, Tart Cherry and Fresh Coconut but you can't go wrong with any of their flavors. read more

Understatement of your life, Alex P. This place is AMAZING, definitely the BEST shaved ice you will ever experience. Ice so smooth you'd swear you were eating frozen clouds from heaven. Seriously folks...the Watermelon Basil will change your life. I also love Pineapple Cilantro! These savory flavors can make you feel like you've just had a well balanced meal; get the ice cream in the middle and you DID just have a meal. I can't say enough great things, their staff were so genuine and helpful. **I've never even had a Help account; but felt like it was my duty to enlighten the world after eating there! (Could've been the sour spray talkin'.) I made an account and here we are...sharing the love. So glad I found them while on vacation in Nashville; you should consider yourself blessed if you live within 50 miles of these guys! KEEP SHAVING THE LOVE GUYS!! read more

So I made a quick detour just a few minutes from the studio to this little spot tucked next to a smoke shop and food truck.

Not the best I've ever had, but definitely satisfying. What really stood out though was the al pastor mulita -- that thing slapped. Super savory, well-seasoned, and worth coming back for. The horchata on the side hit the spot, too. It's a no-frills, order-to-go kind of place, so don't expect much ambiance. I ate in my car and still left happy.

After all, can you imagine having digestive problems while playing hockey? I love barbecue so I thought I'd try this place. I walked in and it wasn't at all busy at 5:32. However when I finished my order, the line was out the door. I asked the cashier what was good and the manager (maybe owner) walked over and I asked him. I wanted ribs or brisket, but needed a 2nd opinion. He said he would choose brisket because theirs is USDA Prime and he would put it against any other barbecue restaurant in Tennessee. Those are some bold words. So I ordered the brisket platter (fatty portion) with green beans and cinnamon baked apples. What I received was 3 good sized portions (1/2 pound) of fatty brisket. The meat was tender, melt in your mouth without an overbearing amount of fat clumped together. The bark was salty and very peppery. It was actually good enough to eat without a sauce. Speaking of, there was only one sauce on the table, so I used that. It was a sweet sauce, definitely honey-based but not overly sweet like other honey-based sauces I've had in the past. The thing is I love everything honey-related, so I would definitely buy this to take home. It was so good, I was scavenging for brisket fibers on my plate. So I praised the brisket but I think the shocker was the green beans. These were hands down, the best green beans I've ever had...ever. Salty, tender, peppery, with chunks of meat and fat, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Who would have thought that a side could be that good? Last but not least, the Cinnamon Baked Apples. I love baked/fried apples. Something about the tart and sweetness brings me back every time. The apples were soft, but not mushy. I would have liked them to be a little more tender and more slices of apples. I think there was more sauce than apples but nevertheless, they were great. Overall I'm glad I visited Honeyfire for the first time. I'm here often (near Bellevue) so I'll definitely be coming back again and again.

Sadly, tonight I was highly disappointed in the quality. It's Good Friday and everybody was out and about and they were swamped. When I approached to order they stated it would be 30 minute wait. I didn't mind it because I knew my wait would be worthwhile. Not tonight. After getting home I took out my burger to find the onions burnt to a complete crisp on the patty. The edges were so hard they crumbled. Hopefully, my next visit will be a lot better. Dream burger will still be a fave, but I'll update this review on my next visit.

Really good bread, the pork was tender, juicy, and tasty, and the rest of the ingredients put the sandwich over the top. The fried pickles were excellent, among the best I've ever had. The O.G. Fries were pretty basic, but very good. The Comeback Sauce wasn't quite what I was expecting, seeming to be a bit more of a mustard base than what I'm accustomed to with Comeback Sauce. But it was still very good. I had a great meal with HauteWheels, and would most certainly stop by again next time I see them.

Delicious coffee, beautiful pastries, and a pleasant space make D'Andrews a real gem!…read more I enjoyed my latte, the espresso tasted smooth and they added a touch of house flavor, their pecan. What a unique combo, the pecan flavor was delicious without overpowering the drink. The pastries look so nice that I'm convinced people don't actually eat them. I'll definitely be stopping by to try a "mango" or a Dubai chocolate croissant before I leave Nashville. Really glad I stayed near such a charming cafe!

I've only had coffee here, but one day I will try the famed baked goods! The coffee is solid,…read morethough I would be mindful of that a size upgrading coffee does not mean more espresso; it simply means more milk. The inside is large enough to sit and enjoy your food and drinks. They have their pastries on gorgeous display and the location is quite convenient for those who are already downtown. Service is friendly, and they are quite quick as they have many customers to get through.

It also didn't help that it was insanely hot and the line was outside. I think if they figured out the line situation and maybe made the coffee less watery it would be a hit. In Nashville though it's definitely something, more than like Panera or whatever so might hit the spot if you're itching for it!

It was a bit cramped in general regardless of the crowd more-so how the restaurant is set up, but I get it--that's the southern neighbourhood aesthetic that makes it so classic! I had the Havana iced coffee, which was on point. It had a blend of different spices that really made it stand out. I had a traditional Farm Breakfast with local sausage that really hit the spot. This location is near all the right shops down the way which made it efficient and convenient!

We got it to-go but the owner was out greeting and spoke to my wife, so you know they care about the quality of the food and service. Absolutely a must try.

I'd recommend it for a quick in and out to get a coffee but not as a sit down meeting place.

Visited today because I saw the little blue truck parked on the side of the road. It was extremely overpriced for the little portion and the flavors weren't what I was expecting.I'll keep driving next time. read more
