Here, they’ve dreamt up a new take on nachos and we’re here for it! Learn more below, and plan a time to indulge for yourself. Happy eating, Nashville!
Peg Leg Porker is a barbecue joint in the heart of Music City, and it has earned rave reviews from both tourists and locals alike. It's airy, low-key aesthetic is balanced with a plethora of outdoor seating options and a massive menu that's bound to have something for everyone.
The interior is both homey and rustic, and the menu centers on old school BBQ platters made fresh and hot to order. The comfortable interior will have you forgetting you're in the midst of Nashville's bustling downtown, and no one leaves Peg Leg Porker hungry.
Can't you just imagine gathering with your family and friends here, noshing on true southern barbecue? At Peg Leg Porker the customer service is excellent and the meals are unforgettable. Carey Bringle, Peg Leg Porker's pitmaster, has even been honored with the invitation to cook at the famed James Beard House - twice.
The menu is fairly simple and straightforward, with an emphasis on meat-centric dishes doused in perfectly spiced barbecue sauce. Add an order of Kool-Aid pickles as an appetizer if you're feeling adventurous, and the Memphis Sushi platter is served with sausage, cheese, and saltines! What a trip.
Ah. The dreamiest appetizer on the menu: barbecue nachos. Made with cheese, pulled pork, delicious barbecue sauce, and topped with jalapeños, the Peg Leg Porker BBQ nachos are the best of the best.
Of course, you can always make it an order of MACHOS which is the BBQ Nachos with added beans and slaw. If you're feeling something a bit more classic, make sure to check out the pulled pork platter, the classic BBQ sandwich, or the rack of dry ribs.
You can visit Peg Leg Porker for yourself from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, and until 10 p.m. from Wednesday to Saturday. Keep in mind and plan ahead, because Peg Leg Porker closes up shop on Sundays.
