Nashville off of Broadway
Great time, great food. Our hostess was wonderful- personable and knowledgeable. It is quite a bit of walking- so just a heads up if you have trouble with that. Otherwise, it’s a great experience that was a highlight for our family group.

Fun Experience, Disappointing Food Options
Overall I enjoyed my experience on our food tour. I booked with this company after the last company I had booked with canceled on me last minute. They were very accommodating even for me booking the morning of the tour. Our tour guide Rebekah was very sweet and knowledgeable. However, I was not terribly impressed with the food options we were served on our tour. Out of the 5 stops, I really only thought 2 were of the quality I was expecting. The first stop we were served a chicken sandwich that was just mid, nothing special. The second stop we were served Nashville's signature hot chicken which I enjoyed being able to sample the different heat levels. The third stop was a southern BBQ shrimp that was delicious. The fourth stop we were served a salad. A plain farm salad, nothing special. While we were eating the plain farm salad, one of the employees from this restaurant were talking about all the delicious other food options they have. It felt like we should have been served something more elevated than a salad. The last stop we went to the Goo Goo candy bar shop which was also slightly disappointing since I was hoping to have a local, chef prepared dessert and not a commercially available candy bar. We were told the first stop where we were served the chicken sandwich had won awards for their desserts. It was disappointing to see those in the case and then be served a candy bar as our dessert. Again overall, I did enjoy my experience, I just felt that the food options were not as impressive as I was hoping.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I'm so glad we were able to accommodate your last-minute booking and that you enjoyed your time with Rebekah. I'll be sure to share your kind words with her. I'm sorry to hear some of the tastings didn't meet your expectations. We spend a great deal of time curating a menu that represents the many flavors of Nashville, but food is incredibly personal, and we know every guest will have different favorites. I especially appreciate your comments about the farm to table restaraunt tasting. Based on your description, that doesn't sound like the type of dish we typically expect to showcase there, and I'll be following up with our restaurant partner to better understand what was served that day. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I also appreciate your comments about dessert. Our final stop includes both Nashville's iconic Goo Goo Cluster and one of Goo Goo's handcrafted bonbons, but I understand you were hoping for a different style of dessert. Feedback like yours is genuinely helpful as we continue evaluating our tour experience. Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to show you around Nashville. We wish you many more wonderful food adventures.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nashville.
How much does Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway cost?
+
Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nashville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nashville is not rushed.
Is Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nashville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway?
+
Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nashville can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nashville and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Downtown Nashville Food Tour: Bites Beyond Broadway start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nashville within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nashville?
+
Nashville's activity mix is unusually music-heavy: Ryman and Opry backstage tours, RCA Studio B sessions, songwriter rounds and honky-tonk crawls on Broadway. Around that sit distillery runs to Lynchburg and general-admission pedal taverns. Outty Ranking penalises the crawl operators that oversell group size, which is the most common complaint in this city. On Outty we rank every Nashville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Nashville: Authentic Food Tour with 5 Tastings of Local Dishes, Nashville RCA Studio B & Country Music Hall of Fame Ticket Combo, Nashville's Wildest Honky Tonk Public Party Bus (21+). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nashville?
+
April to May and September to October, when patios open and the humidity drops. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nashville?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
