If it’s Thursday in Nashville off Deaderick Street, there’s a grouping of food trucks selling anything from grilled cheese to cold-pressed juices. While that might be Nashville’s biggest concentration of food trucks, catering to professionals and tourists, the city’s other neighborhoods as well as the suburbs get them too.

Get started on a food truck hunting mission by using Street Food Finder or Roaming Hunger Food Truck Map to see where area food trucks will be. The Nashville Downtown Partnership: Street Eats and Nashville Food Truck Association are two great resources in a food truck search as well. Always check in advance to make sure a food truck has made it to their scheduled spot; many food trucks have Twitter accounts where you can track them.

While these food trucks are always on the move, check out these five Nashville neighborhoods where you’re most likely to spot them.

From hot chicken to BBQ to ice cream to bao, downtown workers can grab food truck fare during their lunch hour. There’s even a food truck with brick oven pizza. Popular food trucks include Southern comfort food and hot chicken at Banjos, Dan’s Gourmet Mac Attack, or City Kitchen. Blue Monkey Shaved Ice is fun dessert option in the hot summer months. Crankees Pizzeria and Dawg Daze bring pizza and hot dogs to downtown. Steaming Goat and Smokin’ Buttz bring the meats while Bao Down, Florinda’s Cocina, Deg Thai, King Tut’s Food Truck, and Little Cancun on The Go let natives and tourists alike explore different cultures on wheels.

While you can get basically any type of cuisine from a food truck in the South Nashvilleneighborhood, the addition of the 4 Paws Pastries Treat Truck in South Nashville’s Spring Hill neighborhood even serves food truck treats to dogs. For humans, check out 313 Coney for hot dogs for humans that are billed as bringing coneys from the 313 to the 615. The Franklin Farmers Market at the Factory at Franklin and the Nolensville Farmers Market are two great places to explore food truck options.
