Gate C10 in BNA’s Main terminal is closest to ACME Feed & Seed
ACME Feed & Seed sits airside in Nashville’s Main terminal near the C gates, so it works well if you’re flying Southwest or connecting through the C concourse. It runs daily with typical airport hours that track morning departures through late evening banks, so you can usually count on it for both pre-7 a.m. flights and the last wave around 9–10 p.m.
Menu hits mirror downtown ACME basics: hot chicken sandwiches, BBQ-style plates, and bar snacks that fit a 30–45 minute sit-down. Expect airport pricing: mains land in the $15–$22 range, with starters around $9–$14. Portions skew generous enough that splitting an appetizer and one main works for two people who just need something before a short hop to ATL or CLT.
Bar service is a big draw here, with local beers from Nashville brewers on tap and whiskey pours that lean heavily on Tennessee labels like Jack Daniel’s and George Dickel. Drafts usually sit in the $8–$11 band, while cocktails can push $14–$18. It’s one of the better spots in BNA if you want a real drink instead of a premixed slushy near the food court.
Service speed varies by bank: at 6–8 a.m. and 4–7 p.m. you should budget 45–60 minutes from sit-down to paid check, longer if you order cocktails or well-done burgers. Midday lulls often get you in and out in 30 minutes, which works for a 60–75 minute layover based out of the C concourse. Ask about to-go packaging; staff will usually box a sandwich or fries if you’re inside 20 minutes of boarding.
Best move: grab a table closer to the concourse windows, keep your boarding pass open, and set a 20-minute timer on your phone so you can ask for the check before final boarding calls start echoing down at C10–C15.
