About Big Yard
Big Yard is a go-to lunch chicken & wings spot in Nashville, TN, with a lively feel and open kitchen seating with a view of the line cooks. The kitchen leans into chicken & wings done well, smoking their meats in a custom offset pit out back.
The signature item to try first is the Korean BBQ Wings, which has earned a loyal following. The rest of the menu rounds it out with options like Nashville Hot Sandwich, Buffalo Wings, Chicken Tenders, plus rotating specials that change with the season. Portions are generous for the price point ($$), and the kitchen is consistent — orders come out fast even when the place is full.
On a typical day you'll find construction crews, tech workers, and grandparents alike, especially around the lunch and dinner rushes. The bar pours specialty espresso drinks, drip coffee, and seasonal lattes. The kitchen happily accommodates common allergies if you let them know. The dining room is clean, the music is at a reasonable volume, and the wifi works.
For ordering, online ordering for pickup or delivery is available through the website. Regulars say the staff remembers their order after only two or three visits.

I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Spicy Tenders hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Nashville Hot Sandwich was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Nashville Hot Sandwich and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Buffalo Wings stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Solid spot. The Buffalo Wings is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
