Savannah's Candy KitchenB-Worth Trying
310 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37201
· Ice cream shop, Candy store
· 4.5/5 Google (1506 reviews)
A bustling Broadway candy emporium known for pralines, gophers, and free samples, great for sweets and souvenirs but with inconsistent service and occasional quality lapses.
Why it gets a B- for overall quality
Savannah's Candy Kitchen delivers reliable indulgence with strong food quality in signature pralines and gophers, plus an appealing Broadway location that draws crowds and creates nostalgic charm. However, intermittent quality lapses—stale items, burnt kernels, and occasional cleanliness issues—prevent higher marks, and service inconsistency during peak hours limits the experience. A solid neighborhood sweet spot for souvenirs and samples, but not a destination for reliability.
Restaurant Summary
Step off Broadway and the air already smells like sugar. Inside, staff often hand out warm praline samples while a toy train circles overhead, and the counters brim with fudge, pecans, and caramel apples. A reviewer put it simply: "The praline melted and made my day." Expect high-energy crowds and a colorful, nostalgia-forward shop. The treats lean classic Southern: pralines, gophers, brittle, and fudge, plus scoops of ice cream and gelato in the back. Cooking here is traditional and indulgent rather than experimental, so it hits the sweet tooth more than the trend-chaser. Prices are mid-range for Broadway, with most individual treats under ten and boxed gifts around thirty, making it easy to build a souvenir bag without breaking the bank. For families, this is a crowd-pleaser: free samples, bright displays, and that overhead train charm younger visitors. Kids will gravitate to ice cream, gummies, and caramel apples; adults can grab pralines or glazed pecans. There is no kids menu, but the selection is inherently kid-friendly; just expect a line during peak hours.
