Concessionaire Fraport USA has completed the opening of nine new restaurants at Nashville International Airport in Tennessee, taking the total number of shops and restaurants opened in the last year to 35.

The latest openings include Chick-fil-A, Little Harpeth Brewing, Kijiji Coffee House, Southernaire Market, 8th & Roast Coffee Co, TailGate Brewery, Puckett’s Grocery and Restaurant, Pig Star by Peg Leg Porker, and Three Casks.

Matt Jennings, vice president of Fraport Tennessee, said, “Our success in 2021 would not have been possible without our partners at the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA). On behalf of our team and new operators, I want to thank MNAA for all they did to support us on this amazing journey. We are excited for what will come in 2022.”

On the local craft scene, independent craft brewery TailGate specializes in small-batch specialty brews and scratch-made pizza. The new taproom in Concourse C features 12 craft beers on draft, craft pizzas and breakfast sandwiches.

A Nashville original since 2003, Yazoo Brewing Company brings a variety of award-winning Yazoo beers in a newly renovated space. Passengers can enjoy beers on draft at the bar, in the concourse or at the gate.

Another welcome addition in Concourse C, local deli and eatery Southernaire Market features homemade-style items to go, exotic sauces and gourmet products with a Southern influence.

In Concourse B, Little Harpeth Brewing produces beers crafted in the tradition of German lagers, consistent with the beers of pre-prohibition Middle Tennesseans. The 1,564ft2  taproom features award-winning beers and wines on tap, cocktails and an extensive food menu.
