First time a server ever made me tear up and almost cry because I have Celiac Disease. I asked if they had any gluten free buns - fully prepared to just eat my burger without a bun - and was loudly and unsympathetically told “we don’t have anything gluten free.” I assumed that meant the bread and so I asked if the fries were rolled in flour (they almost never are so it’s often a semi-safe choice when I’m starving). The server repeated loudly again “we don’t have anything gluten free” and I said “not even the burger patties?” And was again responded with “I said we don’t have anything gluten free” this was said loudly enough that by now the whole bar was looking at me and the bartender. I sat there kind of stunned and so she kept saying it - 2-3 more times. Eventually another server came around the corner and said “that’s what we were told to say” The bartender just looked at me and literally said it again. I said “well I guess I’ll leave” and gathered my things and left. I was walking away thinking how embarrassed I was that the bartender never said anything to me at all except repeating that statement over and over again as though I was a problem and she wanted me out of her sight. It literally made me start feeling like I might cry. Celiacs are people too and it’s not a choice to ask for information on the food for us. We also are our own self determiners and often have to make not 100% perfect choices when traveling - but we should be treated with courtesy when we ask. I was made to feel like a problem and embarrassed just because I asked about the content of the food. I was excited to see The Pharmacy in the airport because I’m a native Nashvillian and love eating at the local spot. Also, having to avoid gluten limits my choices at the airport and I travel a bunch for work. I could have eaten a burger without bun or even had a drink. Instead I choked down tears and will never return to a...
Read moreI do not get the bad reviews of this place. I had a lot of time to kill before my flight and instead of getting my usual turkey sandwich from the newsstand places, I saw a Pharmacy posing as a hamburger joint and had to try it.
I sidled up to the counter and took a seat. They had a place to rest your feet (again, a plus in my book). I had a Coke Zero, and the White Oak BBQ Burger and subbed out the provolone for goat cheese with tots (and of course, I got rid of the onions - blech!) Holy cow! This was one heck of a juicy burger, The bacon was crispy and the Coca Cola BBQ sauce was tangy and good. And the tots were perfectly crispy but not too much as that seriously messes up the tots.
The "Pharmacist"/server/bartender made small talk as she set up the liquor bottles behind the counter to display to passersby.
Just a great burger place located at the Nashville International Airport (BNA), however, they do have a couple of locations in and around Nashville.
It's definitely worth a try (either at the airport or one of their other locations) and I'm telling you that you will not be disappointed.
They have chicken sandwiches, brats, sausages, kids meals, vegetarian/vegan options, beer, wine, cocktails, and a great place to sit and people watch waiting fr...
Read moreI travel through the Nashville airport several times a month and love trying the different restaurants. On this flight I had an extra couple of hours so decided to have a sit down meal.
I sat at the bar with Nicholas and he was the perfect example of a great bartender. Very observant of patrons flight times and quick to take care of everyone. The bar has plenty of TV’s inside and was comfortable. They even have outlets at the bar to plug in your phones and charge. I opted for the white oak burger that comes with the homemade oca-Cola BBQ sauce, smoked bbq onions, provolone, Gifford's bacon, crispy onion straws, pickle. Wow! 🤯 Seems like a lot but sounded really good and I was hungry.
The service was pretty quick for the airport and it looked as good as I was hoping for. I had the tots instead of fries.
That burger was amazing 🤩! The cook was perfect on the patty, the buns were just right and not too thick, bacon was awesome and that Coca Cola sauce is very good!
Loved my lunch and will try something...
