Nashville-based HoneyFire Barbeque Co. is supersizing its footprint in Williamson County, opening its largest Tennessee restaurant in Brentwood with more seats, a beefed-up bourbon program and a covered patio at The Shops at Seven Springs. The third HoneyFire outpost will pair the brand's trademark sweet-heat smoked meats with several new brisket-focused menu items and a rentable bourbon-locker setup.
Opening Day And Ribbon-Cutting
The Brentwood restaurant is slated to open Thursday, May 7, with a ribbon-cutting at 11 a.m. and customer giveaways, according to What Now. The celebration will usher in what the company describes as its biggest single dining room in Tennessee.
Inside The Room
The Shops at Seven Springs space will seat up to 200 guests, with a mix of indoor tables and a covered outdoor patio. It will also feature an expanded bourbon bar plus annual rentable bourbon lockers, giving regulars a place to stash their bottles. Owner Ben Claybaker said, "I can't wait to open the doors to our third and our largest restaurant," in a statement shared with the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce.
Where To Find It And Hours
HoneyFire's Brentwood location will sit at 710 Old Hickory Blvd., Suite 305, in The Shops at Seven Springs. The restaurant is expected to operate daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., per the company’s locations page, which also lists a local phone number and notes that dine-in service will be available when the doors open.
Menu Updates
The Brentwood menu will keep fan favorites like smoked pulled pork, brisket sandwiches and baby back egg rolls, while also rolling out new items including a brisket smash burger, brisket tacos, loaded mac and cheese and a loaded baked potato, according to Nashville Scene. Sides such as white queso mac and cheese, bourbon baked beans and sweet corn pudding are set to round out the spread.
From Neighborhood Favorite To Regional Player
HoneyFire opened its flagship at One Bellevue Place in 2018, then moved into Assembly Food Hall downtown as its profile grew. Plans for a Brentwood buildout surfaced in local business coverage last year, according to the Nashville Business Journal. The Brentwood debut marks another move in the brand's push for a broader Nashville-area footprint.
What Customers Should Know
The Brentwood restaurant will offer dine-in, takeout and catering service, and the company is urging barbecue fans to follow its social channels for opening-day updates and giveaways, per HoneyFire Barbeque Co.. With the chain's largest dining room on deck, a busy opening weekend in the suburbs seems all but guaranteed.
