The line wasn't long at all. Very quick.
Ed S.

I'm shocked. Truly. I don't expect much from airport food but Swett's was excellent. I've eaten in there regular location but it's been years. This was every bit as good. The meat was juicy and fresh. The sides were perfect. Well seasoned and delicious. But pricy as expected but not terribly so. If in Concourse C and have time I highly recommend Swett's.

I was famished when I arrived in Nashville. Word was it would be 6 hours before I would be having dinner so I stopped in for a sandwich. The staff was exceptionally friendly and suggested the pulled pork sandwich. This was decent BBQ for an airport. Good flavor, tender and juicy! Great airport BBQ. Quick service and a lot of offerings. I wanted to try more, but stuck with the sandwich. The price was what one would expect at an airport. Nothing fancy and great to grab and run to your gate or in my case, run to the rental car.

2 meats and two sides
Justin B.

A little expensive because they know they got you at the airport. I did asked for two types of meat though. So I kinda did this to myself. The brisket was awesome. Especially for a place that serves you out of warming trays. Brisket had no fat on it. Tasted like it was actually smoked. The food was really hot. Maybe because I'm a yankee I don't know good BBQ. I see this place has only 3 stars but I thought it was delicious. So I'm sorry this northern boy was impressed by your least common denominator. Oh wait I never got my biscuit! Ugh.

Bbq ribs, cheesey broccoli rice and Mac (without cheese)

Sorry, my camera is really blurry right now but still hadda get a pic. The ribs were really good, the bbq sauce is the BEST I've ever had, you can tell it's house made and it tastes divine. As for my two sides I got Mac and cheese and cheesey rice broccoli, the Mac and.... Mac and no cheese wasn't edible, tasted like they melted one Kraft single slice for the "rue", it was so soo dry but had a nice looking top, notice how I said looking. The cheesey rice broccoli was really good aswell, like ooohhh I am Mc loving it. Overall, I think it's worth a stop!

I travel a lot and I'm always hesitate of Airport food... This place was a total surprise!! Authentic Southern Soul Food in the Nashville Airport... Affordable. Delicious. You get your moneys worth... My plate of pork BBQ, carrots and greens plus a drink was about $16.00 Thats very affordable in any airport!! Bonus.. Good God above! It was great food!! Plus the girls behind the counter are very friendly and super helpful!

1 meat plate
Liz P.

Not sure why the low reviews for this place. It's barbecue food in the airport so it's not going to be anything fancy, but for the price point and what you got, I thought it was fair. I did the one meat plate with pulled pork, mashed potatoes, and fried apples. I regretted getting the fried apples afterwards because I saw they had sweet potato casserole and a few other sides that were more desirable to me. It was $13.99 and very filling. The barbecue sauce on the pulled pork was delicious, surprisingly. Mashed potatoes were not gourmet but were also good. The fried apples were just okay. You can also get a meat plate with three sides or you can add meats, I thought I had initially ordered a two meat plate but that's actually not an option and the employee told me that to add ribs would be $6 so I opted not to do that. I was going to eat at Shake Shack but I figured I could get that at home anytime so I'm glad I stopped by here. There are some bar stools and tables right next to it as well or you can bring your to-go box to your gate and eat it there.

Ribs, roll, cheddar broccoli (rice), baked beans
Amy X.

Exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant about the ribs being so much more $ ($21.50 vs $13.50 for others), but they gave me 5 ribs. They're surprisingly like Chinese sweet sticky ribs in flavor and sauce thickness but bigger. The cheddar broccoli had a lot of cheesy rice that I liked more than I thought I would. Baked beans were good, on the sweet side too. Dinner roll was small but soft and enjoyable. Everything was much warmer than expected. Very filling.

BBQ Brisket, turnip greens and loaded potato casserole
amy m.

Solid brisket here .. smoked til tender as shown by the thick pink ring on the meat. The stars of the show here were the sides: loaded potato casserole (cheese, bacon and sour cream ) and delicious tender turnip greens. 1 protein and 2 sides were $15 a good deal for an Airport!

Breakfast plate with eggs, biscuit with gravy, hash brown casserole, chicken tenders $10.95
Eli J.

Tried this place for breakfast. I think it's better than currently rated. I had a breakfast plate with eggs, biscuit with gravy, hash brown casserole, and chicken tenders. It was a solid 4/5 for airport food, especially considering price which is pretty cheap. Super quick service as well. I would consider getting it again.

Weak fork
Sam C.

Pretty lackluster. Not sure what I was expecting. But I got "three" ribs, only two had meat on them. The Mac and cheese had no flavor. Green bean casserole was pretty bland too. The only reason I gave it two star is because the sauce is semi decent. I'd say go to Burger King instead.

not much bang for your buck. 4 pieces of ribs and 2 sides for 21 dollars. Very overpriced for what I got.

I stopped by while attending a conference, and although they were busy, everything was running…read moresmoothly. From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The staff stayed attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. I absolutely love the Bonut -- it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Their fruit tea is refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. And the Princess is delicious as well! Everything tastes as good as it looks. Great experience overall. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!

We went around 1 PM on a weekday and it wasn't too busy, so it was a nice laid-back brunch vibe…read more The ambience was casual, chill, and really comfortable. We ordered the Fruit Tea, East Nasty and the B-Roll. I liked their Fruit Tea, nice and refreshing. The East Nasty was pretty good overall, the fried chicken and gravy were flavorful and comforting, but the biscuit underneath was a little underwhelming. BUT oh boy the B-Roll... omg WOW. I've genuinely never had anything like them before. My husband called them "cinnabon on steroids" The pastry was light, warm, airy, and perfectly soft. Then the gooey pecan topping was sooo good, and the cream cheese icing on the side tied everything together perfectly. Absolute chef's kiss. Honestly, order this when you come here.

Visiting the area and didn't want the sub par free hotel breakfast. Glad we ventured out as this…read morewas probably the best meal we had while in Nashville. We dined early on a Saturday so it wasn't busy yet. Service was wonderful. Staff told us of their favorites and didn't steer us wrong. You must get the grits! They were delicious! Love how bright the inside is. I will visit again when I am in Nashville next.

This place was awesome overall. It was pretty crowded, but they moved fast and kept things flowing…read more If you like attentive service with waitresses checking on you often, I'd recommend sitting at a table instead of the bar since the bartenders stay pretty busy. Even with that, we still had a good experience. There was a little mix-up with our food a few people who ordered after us got their meals first, and the table next to us accidentally received our order, so we ended up waiting a bit longer. It was definitely frustrating at the moment, but once our food came out, it made up for it. We had the shrimp and grits along with the steak, eggs, and hashbrowns, and everything was delicious. The sweet cream cold brew was really good, and even though the orange juice was a little small, it still tasted fresh. The atmosphere was nice, and I also liked that they had outdoor seating. Overall, despite the small hiccup, I'd still come back and recommend this spot.

Had a great experience with this restaurant! Me and my husband had breakfast here and everything…read morewas absolutely amazing and reasonable prices. Their cinnamon cream syrup was absolutely delish! I left my purse at the table after breakfast and didn't notice until the restaurant had closed for the day and we ended up getting ahold of someone and they came to open the doors for us so I could get my purse to make my flight at the airport later the same day! Great food, great customer service could not recommend this place more! I will definitely be coming back next time we are in town!

The wait was worth the while... about 30~ mins or so. They have their system down, they're pretty…read morefast and efficient with their check in and check out process. I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!
