| What Restaurants Are At Nashville Airport |
Grab and Go on the Go
In a hurry to catch your flight? No worries, my friend. BNA boasts a squadron of fast-food soldiers ready to fuel your journey. Burger King, Jimmy John's, and the ever-reliable McDonald's are all on hand for a familiar, dependable bite. But if you're feeling a touch more adventurous, try Party Fowl for their take on Nashville's legendary hot chicken, or grab a breakfast burrito at TX/MX.
Sit Down and Savor
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
For those with a little more time (and a grumbling stomach), BNA offers a surprising variety of sit-down restaurants. Want a taste of true Nashville? Puckett's Grocery & Restaurant serves up Southern classics like catfish and fried chicken, while Jack's Old South BBQ will have you saying "yeehaw" with their hickory-smoked ribs.
Taking it Up a Notch
Feeling fancy? BNA has your back, too. Three Casks is an American gastropub with a menu that changes seasonally, and Myrtle & Rose offers modern Southern cuisine with a focus on small plates and creative cocktails.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
A Touch of the Local Flavor
Of course, no trip to Nashville would be complete without a taste of its world-famous hot chicken. Luckily, you don't have to leave the airport for a fiery fix. Prince's Hot Chicken brings the heat, while Kitty Hawk Eat + Drink features the legendary Voodoo Doughnuts, because what's a trip through Nashville without a sugar rush?
Pro-Tip: Wash it all down with a local craft brew at Fat Bottom Brewery, a Nashville staple.
