The Nachos are amazing, though beware, when you order a plate you will have enough to feed 5 people! Either way, you can't go wrong with the different selections of meat to choose from.

Aaron Irons

The brisket nachos and brisket quesadilla are the shit. Also drifters has the most reliable two for one nights. It seems every time I go there it's a special, and it's rarely full of douchebags

Alexander Frost

Neat place to check out. I myself don't eat meat, so BBQ isn't exactly my thing; but live music certainly is, and Drifters shines, as Nashville joints should, in that respect.

Home venue for Kansas Bible Company. Ask when they'll be playing and then be sure to come back and hear a great band rock the house!

Justin Mabee

Great hole in the wall , best beers on tap . Have yet to try the food but friends and locals rave for it.

Caleb Winters

Fried pickles , excellent smoked meats and a well stocked sauce bar .

Nicholas Bittner

Yes Nachos are good with large portions . But the hush puppies though. Worth a second trip.

Evan R

Extremely animal friendly . The server brought out a water bowl for our dog right away.

Matt Baggett

Blackbean nachos 86 the Tx sauce, add avocado and get sweet fire and georgia sauce on the side!

Fried pickles , BBQ nachos and bourbon . What more do you need? Okay, fine. BBQ tofu , too!

Beth S.

Two words: Brisket Nachos . Oh wait... two more words: Eagle Rare!

Lucas Zavala

NOTHING good. Just the cheap happy hour drink prices. The food was terrible. An embarrassment to Nashville bbq . All meats were dry and flavor less. Had to be drowned in bbq sauce to be edible.
