I didn't realize that there was a First Watch right near my appointment in Green Hills. I had a lovely breakfast cos it's a First Watch and there's no way anyone can have a bad experience there. I tried a new menu item the Carne Asada which would have been great if it hadn't been so extremely salty that I couldn't eat but 2 bites of it. Whenever I'm at a First Watch, the 2 drinks I absolutely love are the Cereal Toast and the Lavender Pea Flower and I probably shouldn't have had a drink before my appointment but they're not too strong so I didn't feel too guilty. The Waffle was absolutely perfect....I need to return to have another 1/2 waffle soon....

We landed in Nashville and were looking for a late breakfast. Yelp suggested this place. We walked in to look at the menu and decided to give it a shot. Immediately greeted by Mia our waitress who was THE BEST! Food was brought out fast. Bloody Mary's were great and the breakfasts were amazing . The place was super clean as were the restrooms. Great place. Great food and Mia was awesome!

Can't go wrong with breakfast here. Food is brought out quickly, and coffee is plentiful. I recommend the cold brew coffee and you'll be happy with any breakfast food you select

Chickchanga

Doesn't look like much when you're outside of the restaurant but it's super cute once you walk inside. We had about a 20-30 minute wait which wasn't too bad. Our waitress was very friendly and extremely patient. I was brunchin with a coworker I hadn't seen since March 2020. First watch is perfect for a small and/or large party. We had the pumpkin spiced donuts which were soo good! I would highly recommend and I'm not a huge pumpkin fan. I had the chickchanga which was very delicious. It says it's spicy on the menu, as a lover for spicy... it is not so I did added chalulua for spice. My friend ordered the breakfast tacos and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Would totally recommend.

AM Superfood bowl!

I don't have a First Watch in my state so I have learned to find one when I travel. This chia pudding meal is amazing and now I can't stop making chia pudding when I get home. I haven't quite gotten it just like the Fist Watch chia, but it's a delicious and nutritious journey to that perfection.

I am a big fan of First Watch, they consistently serve solid, elevated, fresh breakfast and lunch food. It's very beautiful and rustic inside. However, during my last visit service was very lackluster. It didn't seem very busy, but I hardly saw my server and felt like I was waiting for long periods of time without seeing her, while other tables were seeing their servers more frequently. I'll still be back, because this is a great restaurant to be at!

A.M. Superfoods bowl
Helen L.

We love First Watch and sadly there is none where we live. Whenever we come across one we go for breakfast. My husband loves the A.M. superfoods bowl. The lemon ricotta pancake is delicious!

Great sense of humor.

Had a great breakfast this am with friends. Even with the heat, we were able to sit outside on the covered shady patio. Even had a little breeze. The food was good, but the service was the best. Thanks to Eddie for taking such good care of us. And when we went to pay loved the the humor in this sign on one of two credit card readers. Hope it gets its caffeine. :)

He informed us of the wait time and provided instructions of the texting process while we wait. Informed us of options to purchase drinks or pastries and if seating at the bar or outside patio became available we had the option to change our seating arrangements. Once our table was ready we was greeted immediately by our waitress Renee with all smiles, positive attitude, and full of energy. She made sure she repeated our order back to us with suggesting other great menu options before placing it. She was clear and we'll spoken. She also made sure we had everything we needed while enjoying our meal. These two employees presented phenomenal customer service and made us feel welcomed and comfortable. The food was excellent and we will definitely be returning for another brunch. ​

Located in the Gulch, it was just a short Uber ride from our downtown area hotel. Before we were even seated we were already enchanted with the adorable 'cow bee' t-shirt. Get it? Milk and honey? Cute huh? Our table of 7 women ordered a variety of brunch sandwiches and biscuits. While everyone enjoyed their meals, I can only give specifics on what I ordered. I had the Mr. Croissant with home fries, and because I wanted to try the biscuits, I also added a biscuit with honey and butter to my order. The croissant and biscuit were great. Next time, I'd give a miss to the included home fries and opt for the fruit instead. My vanilla bean latte was very good and my friend loved her mocha. To celebrate the Birthday Girl, we ordered two bottles of champagne and two flights of juices to make mimosas. We all took homemade strawberry pop tarts to go. We loved the vibe, service, and food and will happily return the next time we are in Nashville!

As first-time visitors to Loveless Cafe, we weren't sure what to expect, but it absolutely lived up…read moreto its reputation. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by one of the sweetest hosts, who made us feel genuinely welcome. We had made a reservation, and our table was ready immediately, making for a smooth and stress-free start to our meal. I would highly recommend making a reservation at least a day in advance--two days if you're visiting on a weekend or during peak travel times. It was clear this place is popular, and for good reason. Our server, Cody, truly made the experience unforgettable. Hands down, he is the best server I've ever had anywhere. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the menu, explain the daily specials, answer all of our questions, and offer recommendations based on what we were looking for. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality elevated our entire dining experience. We ordered the pancakes, omelets, and of course, the famous biscuits. The biscuits absolutely deserve the hype! They were warm, buttery, fluffy, and practically melted in your mouth. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious, and the omelets were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. One thing I really appreciated is that while Loveless Cafe offers a supper menu in the evenings, breakfast is served all day. That's perfect for anyone like me who believes breakfast tastes good no matter what time it is! It's easy to see why Loveless Cafe has become such a Nashville staple. Between the warm Southern hospitality, outstanding service, and incredible food, this was an experience we'll be talking about long after breakfast. If you're visiting Nashville, or even if you're a local who hasn't been yet, put Loveless Cafe at the top of your list. And if you're lucky enough to have Cody as your server, you're in for an exceptional experience!

Loveless now has to be a top 10 breakfast spot for me--maybe top 5. From the fresh biscuits with…read morefresh jams and jellies, to big honking breaded pork chops, to a superb hashbrown casserole--there's nothing I disliked here. Even sampling some of their famous country ham from Toby's plate was a memorable experience. I only wish I had a bigger stomach because the portions are just so massive here. The server couldn't have been nicer. He was even the one to suggest to us that he preferred the pork chops over the ham. That was such a good choice to me. Sadly, we didn't have coffee this morning because we had a long scenic drive and didn't want to make any more stops than necessary. But I bet he would've been right on the ball with those refills. The ambiance was great. It was such a nice layout and had interesting decor that made you feel you were a guest at their house. It also had that perfect occupancy where you could tell how popular they were but not so crowded you had to wait for a table. I'm definitely coming back here next time I'm in Tennessee because this place is a great find.

The wait was worth the while... about 30~ mins or so. They have their system down, they're pretty…read morefast and efficient with their check in and check out process. I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!

Saw some great reviews about this go to breakfast in downtown Nashville. Raves about their cinnamon…read morepancakes, however, I will not rate them as high. Just above ordinary for me even with the pourable cinnamon topping. I also ordered an omelette where almost all the ingredients were piled on top. The eggs were crepe thin and rolled with just the sausage crumbs inside. The place was busy with a line outside waiting for tables. Service was a bit too slow for me. Maybe this location isn't as good as the original. I think Nashville could do better than this though.

The 4 of us came in for breakfast last Saturday morning, with a fairly reasonable 30 minute wait…read morefor our table. Their text system for handling that was efficient and we were all lucky to find a comfortable place to sit both inside and out. Our waitress (Amanda) was sharp in terms of communication, understanding our selections, friendliness, and the ability to move a lot of plates (with food or not) without losing balance. Our table near a front corner was also pleasant and comfortable. Gayle and Erin started off with a pitcher of Mimosas, while I went for OJ and Coffee, and Jim Coffee. Our selections involved 2 orders of Waffles, 1 set of Lemon/Blueberry Pancakes, and French Toast. Meat sides were evenly split between Andouille sausage (for a little extra spice) and bacon, while eggs were either poached, scrambled, or over easy. I especially appreciated that my "Poached Hard" request came back spot on. The Pancakes/Waffles/French Toast were all light, tasty and well served by the maple syrup. It was all delicious and perhaps too much food. We were all happy with our choices and appreciated our upcoming walks to work all this off.

Once inside the staff was so kind and helpful. Our waitress was the best! They did have Gluten Free options which was very nice and they were good. I ordered the Cold Brew and it was gross. On a scale of 1 - 10 I would give it a 5 on cleanliness. I guess they allow pets so we listened to this dog bark as the owner threw waffles on the floor for him to eat. I happened to not be a pet person so this was a struggle for me + I felt bad for the dog. All those dirty feet walking on that floor and that dog was eating off of it. Didn't feel right. They did mess up our bill and we ended up realizing after that we over paid. Overall I do not recommend and wouldn't go back. If our waitress wouldn't have been amazing this would have been a 1 star review.
