    Watermelon and Raspberry

    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!

    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.

They serve Gourmet Grilled Cheese Melts, Salads, Soups, Sides, Kid's meals and Milkshakes. They also have a Classic Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Combo. I gave a 3 star overall, but I give the Grilled Cheeses a 4 star. The 3 star overall is for 1 reason. We had a couple of questions about the menu such as, do they not have the Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup or the Mac & Cheese Bowl anymore ( They have removed these items from the menu ) and the employee was kinda rude about it and I really didn't like that. Anyway--- The Sandwiches are really good and the sides were good. They also do catering and you can find them on Facebook and Instagram. There is a covered outdoor patio along with shared seating inside. It's a good place to grab a Grilled Cheese and a tasty Milkshake.

    Absolutely the Best BBQ in Nashville - Honey Fire BBQ on Sawyer Brown Rd is a Must-Try!…read more I recently visited Honey Fire BBQ in the Bellevue area and left completely impressed. From the moment you walk in, the place feels welcoming with its clean, modern vibe and that cozy wrap-around covered porch--perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. The star of the show is their slow-smoked meats paired with that signature sweet heat sauce. The brisket was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, the ribs had the perfect bark and fall-off-the-bone texture, and the pulled pork was juicy and delicious. Their house-made sauces (especially the honey-based ones with just the right touch of tangy sweetness and a little kick) elevate everything--I've never tasted BBQ quite like this Nashville twist on tradition. Sides were equally outstanding: the baked beans had a great depth of flavor, the mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the sweet corn pudding was a standout. Everything felt fresh, generous, and made with care. Service was friendly and efficient--true Southern hospitality that made us feel like family. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, this spot delivers every time. If you're in Nashville (or driving through Bellevue), do yourself a favor and head to Honey Fire BBQ on Sawyer Brown Rd. It's become my new go-to for outstanding barbecue. Highly recommend. I will definitely return and bring friends. From our family to yours--thank you, Honey Fire!

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...
