The Candied Rib Company - Barbecue Elevated

Barbecue restaurant

👍👍 Stopped in here on Saturday and absolutely fell in love with the ribs. The sticky and dry options(I ordered both because I'm horrible) were phenomenal.

Shotgun Willie's BBQ

Barbecue restaurant

👍👍 The Texas Trinity is something special. They gave us some excellent fatty brisket from the point. Both sausages were great, but that cheddar and jalapeño sausage is a thing of beauty. Ribs were delicious and still had enough chew to them. Best BBQ in Nashville, and it's not remotely a close call!
