Food trucks in Nashville are very much sought out! I used to work close to Downtown Nashville so I looked for them very often and I loved it! Food trucks are my favorite!!

The food trucks in Nashville cover so many different ethnicities of food choices. You can get grilled cheese, Nashville BBQ, Nashville Pizza, great desserts, and so much more. On any given day or event you can find one of the many food trucks available somewhere close to you.

I have eaten at many of the food trucks in Nashville. So let’s talk about the varieties and where to find them.

Street Eats

What is Street Eats? This is, well I guess you could call it an event where many food trucks in Nashville gather in one location to feed everyone lunch with their culinary greatness! This happens every Thursday between the times of 11 am to 2 pm during the warmer months. It is located on Deadrick Street in the heart of downtown Nashville.

There are a few of the food trucks that are pretty much regulars for this gathering. Then there are the ones that rotate to different places throughout Nashville and the surrounding areas.

So that brings up a good question. How many food trucks gather at this event? Well, honestly that varies. It can be up to 20, I’ve seen as little as 12. Even having 12 awesome food trucks is a great selection to have. Check here for the weekly food truck lineup for Street Eats.

Nashville Food Trucks

There are lots of food trucks in Nashville. I have been to many events where food trucks were the only source of grub. Some may have had only one, other events had several on site. But I always was able to find something good to eat.

So what kind of food do the food trucks have to offer? I honestly could not tell you every food ethnicity Nashville food trucks have to offer. I personally have eaten Indian, Mexican, Thai, Peruvian, American, Southern BBQ, seafood, fancy grilled cheese, crepes, burger, pizza, fish, and many different desserts. This is just what I can think of at the moment that I’ve eaten from the local food trucks.
