Good but different from description - I wanted to give this 5 stars but can’t. The tour guide was awesome but I feel the description isn’t accurate. You start at Acme Feed & Seed, which is fantastic! The ribs are amazing (we went back) and the brisket salad was tasty. Then on to the next place to have Nashville hot chicken tacos. These were very good too, be prepared for spice. But that’s it for actual food. Next stop is ice cream, then another stop at a candy store. Last stop is a cocktail at a cool whiskey bar. I love that the tour is all about locally owned businesses and each place was great, but 3 small food dishes at 2 places falls short for me. The tour doesn’t need 2 desserts. Yes, I’m fully aware that TripAdvisor takes a cut so some of these are more expensive than booking direct, but $179 per person is pretty steep for the small amount of food on a “food tour”. I’ve had other food tours and always got full (not a big eater). Not on this one. :(
