Good Barbeque IS Available in East Nashville
Drifter's has been around for over a year now, and always has been a great place to grab a convenient Dinner and a couple of drinks. We hit Drifter's probably about once a month - the staff is super friendly!
I'd stick with BBQ-like basics; the Pulled Pork and Ribs are great, the Brisket is good, as is the chicken. A few others like the catfish, not so much.
Drinks are very reasonably priced, and they run mid-week happy hour specials. For a laid-back meal with friends it's definitely a place worth checking out!
