Feedback:

Heather T ate pork brisket with corn pudding. Paid $8.74 plus tip.
Corn pudding was creamy but brisket was not so good. Staff was very friendly, but the paint was peeling off the walls!
Only recommend The Blind Pig if her dad was coming into town or if on a date and wanted to watch a sports game.
If they added partitions in between the tables, that might make the ambiance better.

Ashley C had succotash salad with black eyed pea vinaigrette. Paid $10.83 plus tip.
Thought salad was bland. Very, very bland. Salad dressing was gross, so got ranch dressing instead.
Restaurant was clean and staff was very friendly. However, would not come back because food is not worth it. If their food was improved, she would come back.

Amanda G: Got Memphis baby back ribs with blue cheese sweet potatoes and friend green tomatoes. Paid $12.00 plus tip
Ribs had no flavor and the sides didn't compliment each other. It was not a memorable meal.
Very clean, typical BBQ places. Server was very friendly and attentive.
Might come back but would not recommend it to anyone.
To improve, the food would need to be more flavorful. Even have drink specials as well. There are just too many restaurants in Nashville to settle on anything mediocre.

Linda B-Had Brunswick stew. Total: $6.56 plus tip
Stew was really bland. Would only come back if she is sick and needs something bland.
More flavor would make the restaurant better.
The sports bar ambiance was surprising. The service and cleanliness was good.

Lyndsay C--Had chicken fried steak with corn pudding and macaroni and cheese. Total: $12.00 plus tip.
Chicken fried steak was blah. Macaroni and cheese was good. Corn pudding was definitely not like mama makes it. The peppers in it was unexpected.
Food not worth the price--probably will not come back unless prices were lower and food was better. Liked the service though and thought it was well located.

Liz B--Had pulled BBQ chicken sandwich with fries. Total $9.83 plus tip.
Chicken was bland and dressings were watery. Clean restaurant and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. It took a little long to get our food for how empty the restaurant was.
Food needs to have flavor added--more spices.
Would probably go to a different place for BBQ.

Lindsey C- Had smoked and pulled pork platter with macaroni and cheese and baked beans. Total: $12.02 plus tip.
The pork was just overall pretty bland. Tried all of the different sauces with the platter and not one of them did the trick of making it taste better. Has had much better BBQ at Jim and Nicks or even Famous Daves. Macaroni was okay, as were the beans.
Restaurant was clean and the waitress was incredibly friendly and sweet.
Would not come back again unless prices were cheaper and/or food miraculously became 10x better.

Overall Consensus:

Food is bland. Would not come back.
