Besides music, Nashville is known for great barbecue, hot chicken and authentic Southern fare. With plenty of places to choose from at every budget, we’ve compiled our favorite wallet-friendly food in Nashville.
Five Points Pizza serves New York-style slices, with thin, flaky crust. However, the garlic knots are the real standout on the menu. Served with a side of marinara, a half order costs $3; spring for a full order for $6.
Getting hot chicken in Nashville is a must. Skip the popular Hattie B’s and go to local favorite, Prince’s Hot Chicken. This hot chicken is hot — even the mild version. Be prepared to wait, as each meal is made to order. Chicken starts at $5. Skip the sides, but order extra pickles.
Barbecue is another must-have item in Nashville. While there are many great places to choose from, try Peg Leg Porker. The no-frills joint serves barbecue classics. Stop by for lunch Monday–Friday for the lunch special — a BBQ sandwich, side and drink for $8.90.
Located in the city’s charming Germantown neighborhood, The Cupcake Collection serves up homemade cupcakes at a reasonable price. Flavors vary slightly by day and include strawberry, wedding cake, cookies n’ cream, peanut butter mousse and sweet potato. Gluten-free and vegan options are available upon request. Prices range $2–7.

Nov 4, 2026Where Can You Find the Mai Tai Mile?
Stay at Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawai’i and you may think your experience consists solely of private, residential-style luxury and perhaps the occasional fresh pineapple, but Rosewood Resort has something else a little special. More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai. Each distinct drink is inspired by its setting and comes with its own story.
