SO GOOD - Edit
Read moreStopped here on the way into Nashville and it was amazing. I’ve been vegan 6 years and it was up there in my top 10. I had a Buffalo chik’n sandwich, a nashville hot sandwich and a crunch wrap. They were all very good. I loved the meat in the crunch wrap. The Buffalo is more saucey and the Nashville hot definitely had a little kick. I’m not great with spice but they were both okay to withstand with the ranch! The bread was even noteworthy. That night i went to another vegan restaurant near broadway -copper branch - and it was horrible. Don’t go there. I spent $77 at CB, had a bad experience with food and service and then Uber eats-Ed this place to my hotel instead! I then had the nachos, a chocolate chip cookie(so sweet, a little hard-which is my favorite), the tahini broccoli (my partner loved it- it was like a little broccoli salad) and a buff chik’n Philly(a little salty but SO good - i killed it in like 5 minutes). The nachos were amazing - even being delivered. I was so glad I ordered this place again. This is the one.

the fried “chicken” of my DREAMS - Edit
“whatever will we do without The BE-Hive?” is one of the first things my husband and i said to each other as we approached the end of our year spent in Nashville.
Read moretheir weekend specials are where they truly shine, but as far their regular menu goes, their plain gain fried chik’n sandwich is where it’s at! seriously the crispiest, juiciest and most satisfying vegan fried chicken i’ve ever had!
i’ve heard a lot of other Nashvillian vegans complain that their food is too greasy/heavy, which i can understand, but.. it’s certainly not being advertised as health food! with that being said, this place definitely doesn’t skimp on calories, so save it for a night when you’re feeling in need a true feast.

THE best - Edit
I got the weekend special- it was roast beef on the most delicious buttery onion roll with curly fries and it was so good. The buttery onion roll was amazing. It had so much delicious flavor. I went back the next day and got the fried chicken sandwich with tater tots. The fried chicken sandwich wasn’t my favorite fried chicken but it was yummy and the tater tots were really crispy. Get the roast beef! Maybe get the Nashville hot chicken sandwich for more flavor.

Tasty, easy ordering and pick up - Edit
We stopped here on a road trip and ordered online so the food was ready when we arrived. The ordering process was easy and the staff was very friendly. We had the soy chxkn Philly sandwich. The food was flavorful and the serving size provided dinner and leftovers for lunch. The sandwich was a little on the salty side, but with a delicious mix of flavors.
Read morePros: All vegan options with house-made seitan, Yummy food and easy to order/pick-up, Good portion size

The cookies though! - Edit
I think their food is just okay but their pepperonis that you can get at Whole Foods are superb as well as their huge sugar cookies in their shop.

We were hungry and it was alright - Edit
On a long drive me and my girlfriend (both vegan) stumbled upon this place with its reviews etc and the menu items seemed appealing, the food turned out to be good but realistically I don’t think it was anything crazy, but definitely worth checking out for the tastes and options
Read morePros: Great service, Good prices, Variety
Cons: Underwhelming taste

Great sandwich - Edit
I ordered from Ubereats on a girls’ trip to Nashville, so I didn’t have a direct experience with this restaurant.
Read moreThe food was fantastic! I had been craving a good steak sandwich for years and FINALLY it was satisfied.
The sandwich was spot on and it was too big for one person. Could easily be shared between two people. The tots were good, too (as tots usually are).
I’d definitely order from this place again when in town.
Pros: Steak and cheese sandwich, Tots , Options

Are people going to a different restaurant than me? - Edit
I really, really wanted to like this place. I love vegan junk food and I salivate looking at the menu but the food is straight up bland! I’ve tried four different times now and it has always been massively disappointing. I love their funfetti cookie though so at least there’s that…

I notice that you've said that the food is bland at two highly rated vegan restaurants here in Nashville, both of which I love for their incredible flavors. I'm genuinely curious if you've ever contacted COVID-19 and might have a dulled sense of taste. I personally have two people in my life that have permanently altered tastebuds from the virus, and everything tastes super bland to them. There are also other medical reasons that could be at play. Just a thought...

Thanks for bringing that up! I don’t think that’s if though. I’ve eaten here many times over the last few years, even before 2020. I also don’t have trouble tasting food from other places.

The soy chickn patty was tough, the tots were soggy. We’ve since gone back a few times and everything has been great. Yay!

couldn’t be better - Edit
The Be-Hive was so good! We ordered the chili cheese tots, nashville hot chicken sandwich, and a philly. Everything was beyond delicious. The food came quickly, there was a small amount of seating to dine in, and service was friendly. There were some additional vegan items to buy like their meat alternatives and cheeze and other brands vegan product as well. The blueberry cookie was amazing! The only downside was the store right next door to them sells taxidermy and skulls. It’s completely out of their hands but something to note. Can’t recommend this place enough

The ideal vegan take-out Nashville - Edit
I met a friend there for lunch. I have been vegan for 25 years. My friend is a chef who worked for the beef council! Not sure if that's more of a statement of our friendship or her curiosity. We BOTH had a great lunch.
Read moreThe only drawbacks are limited seating and parking. If I lived on Nashville I'd be a regular here for take-out. If you are a vegan traveling through Nashville, this is a great place to get food to take back to your hotel.
Sidenote #1: The last time I had been in Nashville was likely a decade ago. The 2022 options are much better in the Music City. BE-Hive also sells their own plant meats.
Sidenote #2: My sandwich was VERY BIG. You may want to share a sandwich and order sides.
Pros: Food!, Value, Staff
Cons: Limited parking, Limited seating

Delicious - Edit
Ordered vegan blueberry coconut cookie, loaded tots, and vegan chicken Philly. The food was honestly beyond my expectations. Felt as if I was eating actual chicken. Seasoned very well, for someone who doesn’t eat a lot of salt in their diet some things may be on the “salty” spectrum. Everything was very reasonably price! Overall I will be eating here again
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Cheap
Cons: Slightly salty

Nice Deli - Edit
This is a nice little sandwich shop. The deli meats on the Italian are on par with the Herbivorous Butcher, but the Be-Hive doesn’t have a much variety. We didn’t have a chance to try their chicken sandwiches, but we grabbed Italian sandwiches to throw in the fridge and have on the road the next day and they were good enough as leftovers that i wanted to go back. I imagine they are even better fresh.

Hive vibe - Edit
The salad didn't fill my buddy (salads never fill ya, and what madman pays $10 for a plate of greens) but I didn't feel gypped on the $14 double patty sandwich, which iirc the fella at the counter said was designed to simulate a McDonaldish Big Mac experience.
Read moreThe food came fast and it came hot.
To build my following here on the Cow, I may carve out a niche brand, i.e. focusing on restrooms in my reviews (as a dude who has to pee every 90 minutes anyway), and let me tell ya, the BE-Hive has the lowest sink I may have ever stooped for in a public bathroom. But it was a solid experience. Gross bathrooms are used by the employees who make your food, so clean bathrooms have implications, people! And posted elsewhere I noted their health inspection score was a 99. Woo!
The restroom was a single occupancy situation, commensurate with the fact this place has only two tables, so I snagged a table while my buddy waited in line. The BE-Hive gets a D for seating, and I imagine most of their biz is take-out. But obviously before it can establish a swanky restaurant, it has to start somewhere. Not a bad addition to the Nashville scene.

I really love this place. The food is always 10/10 and my favorite is ordering on the weekends when they have a special going on. Also, you HAVE to order a funfetti sugar cookie. It’s SO good! 🍪

Hard to find excellent vegan cheesesteaks! - Edit
We're originally from Philly and a good vegan cheesesteak is hard to come by in any city. Be-hive does it right! My husband had the Buffalo chicken cheesesteak and I had the regular one, both so good. Also highly recommend the potato salad! We got some pepperoni and deli slices from the market as well, haven't used them yet but very reasonably priced for good plant based deli products!

Eaten here many times. - Edit
I’ve had many of the menu items and I’m always happy to return. There are often temporary specials which are a pleasant surprise when trying to decide from familiar options. The service is friendly and efficient.
Read moreYou should know that this is more of a take-out/deli than a full sit-down restaurant. There is inside seating, but it’s only two small booths and a short counter. There are a couple of tables outside.
Pros: Entirely vegan., New specials., Great service.

I love my neighborhood - Edit
THIS is why I continue to love East Nashville. I went vegan in 2019 just when this shop opened. I’m so grateful. Anytime I’m craving hot chicken, I’ve got a vegan option half a mile from my house. Also, the Crunchwrap. You must order it.
