Must-try brunch spot in downtown Nashville! In the heart of The Gulch, we stayed here for the…read more2-hour Breakfast Buffet all-you-can-eat... and all-you-can-drink option... and what a memorable experience :) FOOD: So it isn't a self-serve "buffet", but for food they have a menu and you can order multiple items at a time. Choose between Appetizers, Tacos and Entrees and the kitchen will serve up dishes that are brought to you at intervals. Standout items we tried are, ranked from best-to-least, were: 1) Steak & Eggs 2) Papas Chorizo Skillet 3) Chicken & Waffle 4) Breakfast Taco 5) Al Pastor Taco 6) Biscuit & Gravy The biscuit I loved, she didn't. It's very thick and dense, so will depend on your preference. Some of the tastiest overall Mexican-style breakfast's we've har! DRINKS: The all-you-can-drink option adds $$ (I think $20-25/person), so it isn't cheap... but is worthwhile if your group loves Mimosa's, Vodka's, Bloody Mary's and fresh Fruit Juices. To their credit, Federales' service staff POURS THE DRINKS CONSTANTLY lol. They brought out bottle after bottle, esp for the Mimosa's. We enjoyed it and felt this was part of the experience there - chill out, sink into the vibe, enjoy live music and loosen up while sitting in a modern open-air concept with everyone around smiling and feeling good ... In conclusion, this rivals Adele's for my favorite Nashville brunch spot. The two have very different vibes, and I highly recommend checking out Federales!

We ordered 2 fries and nachos. It took over half an hour for the nachos to come out, and the fries never came. I asked our server to check on them, and she seemed shocked, like "oh, i didn't know that's what you ordered". Then she said it's coming out soon... still took over 20 minutes after that, but only one order of fries came out, and they were very meh curly fries at that for $7. The margs for happy hour price were $7, which was a great price. I'd come here for the booze and music, not the food.

This place came recommended from a friend and it seemed exciting to go to the restaurant of a singer! It is right in the heart of the downtown bar area. We had a very large group of people on a Saturday night. We had a bit of a wait as they do not take reservations. They seated us upstairs all together sort of at a row of tables separate but all on a row which worked out ok. We were there to celebrate a 21st birthday. They did say Happy Birthday but nothing special beyond that was given or provided which was a little disappointing but I think everyone in Nashville is celebrating something so I get it. Service was very good. Chips with salsa and guacamole was provided upon seating for everyone. When requested more was provided. We had one person who was Gluten Free and they appeared to take care in explaining options as well as answering any questions people had. Drinks were refilled and kept flowing (alcoholic ones). And for a busy Saturday night meals came out in a good timing. Everyone enjoyed their meal although one person had bitten into something hot and did not like it and they were happy to replace the meal. The meal that I had was fantastic! The steak quesadilla. The steak was tender and extremely flavorful. Honestly I had been a bit hesitant to order steak due to being very picky over steak quality. But I was very happy with it! Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and at the end of the meal the server actually was ok with splitting up the ticket even tho we were a very large group which many many establishments refuse to do so this made me very pleased! Oh they had a live band playing on the first floor which was nice. There is an elevator at the back of the restaurant which is nice for those unable or just not wanting to climb a flight of stairs . The flower wall with the Nashville name on it made such a great backdrop for photos! They had two unisex bathrooms on the first floor. I would definitely recommend and go back to this place!

A good heat level and very flavorful and fresh. Drawback has nothing to do with the food, but the bathrooms were all the way across the food hall. It would have been helpful to have one closer or at least a handwashing station nearby. So I'd give it a 4.5, but not an option. Food was great! Maybe invest in sturdier flat ware as well. Sporks aren't for everything and they don't cut the meats in the bowls- no knives.

It was a lot sweeter than I'd prefer, but still good and with a bit of a kick. The service was a bit rough, but I can't really blame them.
