That being said, make sure you try some seafood while on the island.

My favorite (so far) is 12 bones in Asheville/Arden, NC. https://www.12bones.com/

I am sorry (and to each their own I guess), but as a native Nashvillian and someone who has lived he my entire life I can't let this pass as a place I would tell visitors to eat at when visiting. I grew up 1 mile from Corky's and IMO its just average BBQ. Martin's is my personal Fav for Nashville which is pretty good, but even that is not in the same league to some of the BBQ I have had in Memphis and Texas. I don't think Nashville is all that strong when it comes to BBQ.
For those visiting my fair city here are a few local homegrown places I love to eat.
Meat and 3: Arnolds
HIgh End Steakhouse: Kanye Prime
Hattie B's for hot chicken
Fine dining Husk, Catbird Seat, Lockeland table
Joey's house of Pizza-be prepared to wait and its lunch only
Burgers: Brothers Burger joint and Burger Republic
Indian: Chauhan Ale and Masala House
Thai: Thai Esane and Bangkokville

I could expand on that list quite a bit. The are so many really good options in Nashville now it would take me a lot longer than I want to spend to list them all. I do not look at this thread all that often so if anyone sees this and wants to inquire about specific spaces they have been told eat in Nashville, Brentwood, and Franklin area feel free to PM me. I have lived here my entire life so I know most all of them.
I will add Margo's in East Nashville. She was a real pioneer in the food movement here in town and was the first to open really nice option for East Nashvillians to eat.
Monells is an inexpensive causal place downtown to get some quintessential southern fare served family style. More food will be served to you there than you could possibly eat.
Tandy Wilson of the restaurant City House won a James Beard award (best southeast) a few years back so I would be remiss if I did not mention his establishment. Hope this helps.

Rendezvous in Memphis (maybe considered a tourist trap but I love that dry rub) and Iron Works in Austin (used to get the Junior Brown special: half rack/half chicken.

Very last minute trip to Alabama. Into Huntsville tomorrow out of Montgomery Saturday. Where should I eat Thursday night in Birmingham, and where should I eat Friday night in Montgomery? Anyone want to join me??

It is now a chain and this was not the original.
There may be far better BBQ choices, I've only been to Montgomery that one time.

I have no idea if there is better BBQ in Montgomery, but I ate here a couple years ago and it was good, Dreamland BBQ. Walking distance from downtown hotels. https://www.dreamlandbbq.com/

Good choice with Saw's in BHAM. Next time you're up near Huntsville try Big Bob Gibson over in Decatur, AL. And if you ever get over to Florence, AL head over to Smokin on the Blvd for the ribs. Only open on Thurs, Fri, and Sat
