There is a place right outside of Nashville called Spanky's...they have a BBQ pulled pork sandwich, and the spare ribs melt right off the bone! It's been about 7 years since I've been out that way and I'd give you an address if I had one...Good luck!!

I've been to Renevzous' and BB King's on Beale Street. Both are OK for the local culture.
The rest of the time I've eaten in while staying at The Peabody.
