    You'd be hard pressed to not think that the Flat Tire Diner has been around for 50 years with the vibe it was putting out. It had energy of a long standing family establishment but has been around for 6ish years! They've done something right with hiring amazing welcoming staff to filling the menu with amazing diner esq grub! Hands down the crunch French toast is a must order that crispy hard exterior of corn flakes and the soft interior is the perfect balance and this will be the only French toast I'll ever order!! The fresh made bread and pastry onsite is also a welcoming addition, if I was local this is where I'd get my sliced loafs weekly!

    Top: Bacon, ham, egg, & cheese wrap with gag browns. Bottom: Everything skillet with cinnamon raisin toast.

    OMG! This was my 2nd time at the Flat Tire. The 1st time was great & this time was even better. Momma had a bacon, ham, egg, & cheese wrap with hash browns and I had the everything skillet with cinnamon toast. Delicious all the way around! The only thing better was the service! Kendall welcomed us & even spent time conversing with us. I must say this is the best experience we have had anywhere in ages! We will definitely be back!

    Pastrami sandwich with onion rings

    The bartender at our hotel recommended this place. Well done, sir! Staff were quite friendly and answered our questions. They smoke their own pastrami. The fries are real potatoes. The onion rings are fantastic. The portions are just right. Absolutely recommend.

    It's my Birthday Weekend So the hubs brought me for breakfast at this new place and I'm so glad we chose it!! It was packed , I thought we'd have to wait forever but we didn't and boy was I hungry! I chose the crispy French toast, YUUUUUMMMMMM!!! It was absolutely fantastic, with the strawberry's and bananas! Omg!! So good!! Anyway, this place is great , ambience was good, packed but now loud! Service was excellent! Our server was attentive, thank you, Mr Willy,you did great! We will be back and definitely will recommend!!

    Chicken fried steak. Eggs were cooked perfectly!

    Great food. Biscuits and gravy were delicious. Eggs were cooked perfectly, over medium. Fast service.

    Pork chops with apple and eggs

    Can you say pork chops and eggs, but with a twist, and at a diner in a strip mall? I was not expecting to get the brunch/launch experience that I did, but I am so glad we tried this place out. From the outside, you would never think that you're going to get such a great experience inside. They've got a full service bakery as well. We will definitely come back and bring the little ones for treats next time. Great service, great ambience!

    Classic breakfast food executed perfectly. The chicken fried steak is the best in the area. It is fresh and not frozen. Baked items are fresh and delicious.

    Crabcake Benedict with pastrami hash

    Love this old school diner! Food was great, very comforting. Even there was a bit of a wait on Sunday, we did it wait that long to get our food.

    Sunday morning, we popped in for a last minute breakfast and were readily seated for a table of 2. The service was prompt and super sweet. They had a very large menu which offered a variety of dietary accommodations. I ordered pancakes and a crab cake which both were great/large/tasty portions. Our coffee cup was never less than half full! Looking around the diner, they have very endearing decor, all staff were smiling and working hard. There didn't appear to be any grumpy or underserved tables (even in the midst of a Sunday morning rush). Local great spot - highly recommend for an easy, delicious, and financially sound meal. We look forward to coming back.

    Veggie omelette with hash browns

    The 2-egg veggie omelette was excellent! Hash browns were very tasty, as well! My friend had Eggs Benedict and enjoyed it! Our server was very attentive and kept our coffee cups topped off! It has a true diner vibe!

    One of the best finds for breakfast I have ever eaten at. This is just a "simple" diner - with a very large desert case, tables stacked on top of each other, busy every single time we have been there - but people don't care because of how amazing this place is. There isn't much room to wait inside but there are a couple of chairs there. Me and my friend didn't have to wait for more than ten minutes. Classic diner food but everything is fresh. Service is great. Coffee keeps coming. The pancakes are absolutely delicious, definitely get some! It's not a frilly or hipster breakfast place - the plates are cheap and the food top tier. Check it out!

    Crunch french toast
    Amanda B.

    Flat Tire has been on my "want to try" list for a while but I don't make it to the area often and rarely around breakfast/brunch time. While my dad was visiting we decided to make the trip. We were quickly seated upon arriving. The menu options all sounded so good, it was hard to make a choice! I settled on the chili cheese omelet and upgraded by bread to a cinnamon roll. My dad went with the crunch French toast. The cinnamon roll arrived first (which my waitress offered to have arrive first). The frosting was great and the flavor was delicious. It was a little more dry than I prefer, but it was still great! The chili cheese omelette featured a very fluffy omelette, melted cheese inside, and topped with more cheese outside. The chili was fantastic! It has shredded beef, beans but not too many, and a wonderful deep flavor that was well seasoned and a hint of spice. The hashbrowns were perfectly cooked as well, but I do wish they have a little salt and pepper on them when prepping them. The crunchy French toast really lived up to its name! The homemade bread was soft, the crunch coating outside fully covered the bread and added a delicious crunchy element, and the fruit and syrup were great additions! The space itself is well laid out, comfortable, and has a solid diner feel. The staff was all really nice and attentive! I cannot wait to visit again!

We were greeted as soon as we arrived and led to our table. Our server showed up almost immediately for our drink orders which she returned with promptly. The menu has something for everyone and is challenging when you go in hungry as it all looks and sounds good. We had the calamari appetizer which was very good along with a tenderloin meatloaf special that had amazing flavor and texture. I'm not normally a meatloaf person, but this sounded interesting and met all expectations. We found room for dessert and it was outstanding as well. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an enjoyable and reasonably priced for the quality/ quantity meal. Overall, for the two of us our bill was $130 for 2 drinks each, an appetizer, a salad, a split meal and a dessert. Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed!@

My husband said it was just ok, so he ordered an old fashioned as well and he loved it. The drinks are nice and strong and tasty.

We split both and they were both delicious! We really enjoyed our food. For dessert we got the Baileys Irish Cream cheesecake and that was incredibly tasty. We went at lunchtime on a Saturday, so there was no band playing Irish music but it really had a nice Irish ambiance in the restaurant. We will definitely be back to try more items.

The music brought energy and a great atmosphere, but was never too loud. We ordered the Scotch Eggs (a must!), fish & chips, bangers & mash, and Bailey's cheesecake.

We had a larger (10) group celebrating two birthdays and the staff handled things without breaking a sweat. We arrived a few minutes late for our reservation but it was no bother as our table was still being prepared. On that note: highly recommend a reservation, this is a popular place! Once we were seated we had the pleasure of Nichelle, a wonderful waitress. She was on top of everything we needed or wanted and we had very little wait time for her return. Great service! And the food... DELICIOUS! As you can imagine, our group of ten had a good selection across the menu and there was not a single person who was disappointed. Everyone loved their amazing food.

She even went out of her way to get me a drink that had fallen off the menu a few weeks prior, a delightful cucumber spritz. The ambiance is awesome. As others have said, music isn't too loud, just pleasant in the background, so it would be ideal for having a conversation. The space is open, bright, light-filled, and stylish. Parking is in a private lot behind the restaurant and they validate parking for up to two and a half hours. I wish I could rave the same way about the food. While the cocktails were refreshing and they had a cocktail for every palate, my steak and eggs was bland. It came out a little closer to rare than medium, but I can live with that. But I am not sure I detected a speck of salt or pepper. The steak was at least tender and the sunny side up eggs were cooked appropriately. The potatoes were dry. And I did have the wagyu meatball appetizer. It's a large portion, so easily shared amongst two or three people. Cheesy and saucy with a little spice. The focaccia could've been toasted a little more. I considered the short rib hash, but my server told me it could be salty and hit or miss (I appreciate her honesty and she 100 percent should be praised for it). I came during brunch (even on a weekday). They also serve French toast, desserts, oysters, burrata, potstickers and tuna tartare, salads, burgers and other sandwiches. If you come for lunch or dinner, you can also get grilled salmon, blackened redfish, shrimp and grits, pastas (cajun chicken, pappardelle bolognese, tortellini) as well as various cuts of steak. It's conveniently located right across from the Frist Museum and is part of the Union Station Hotel. I would try this place again for dinner, but would skip the brunch. And again, Savanna was top tier! She deserves all the flowers!
