Southern Spoon Catering, LLC is a catering company and food truck operation serving the Nashville, Tennessee area, with a base in Smyrna, Tennessee. The business specializes in southern cuisine for weddings, private events, and gatherings. According to the website, “Since 2008, Southern Spoon has been redefining southern cuisine for couples and families in Nashville, TN.” The company is led by Chef Adam Barnes and describes its approach as combining traditional southern flavors with modern culinary techniques.
Services
Southern Spoon provides full-service catering for weddings and events, along with a mobile food truck for larger functions. The catering side of the business offers structured menu options that are available on the website as downloadable selections, including a “Sample Appetizer Station Catering Menu 2025,” a “Greatest Hits Buffet Catering Menu 2025,” and a “Sample Appetizer Catering Menu 2025.” These menus cover appetizer stations and buffet-style service for events of varying sizes.
The company’s food truck is named “Jarvis,” described on the site as “The newest addition to our family, this fully equipped mobile kitchen is ready to tackle large events and can travel anywhere.” The truck is noted as substantial in scale, measured at “30 feet long and close to 10 tons,” which the site distinguishes from “your everyday backyard food truck.” Food truck bookings carry a “$2,000 minimum purchase requested.” Customers can find the truck’s locations through Street Food Finder or arrange service by contacting the company directly.
