    Fried catfish (all you can eat on Fridays)! Fried okra, green beans and mac'n'cheese. Almost forgot the delicious hush puppies!

    The food is fantastic, no nonsense southern meat and three. The folks that run the place are great and very interactive like good country people I grew up with. It's an unassuming atmosphere, typical Southern charm. You're here for the food, remember? Under $15 for a meat and three in this town is becoming unheard of, will definitely be back more often.

    Went for a late breakfast. Everything was fine. Eggs, hashbrowns, and pancakes all tasty and cooked to order. Might be a place to avoid if you have special dietary needs... but I enjoyed the food and will be back when I'm in the area.

    I love old fashion quaint family diners. So when we found this little place just outside of Nashville we were excited by a chance to enjoy a traditional southern breakfast and an authentic environment. Seemed great at first with lots of signed photos of celebrities on the wall and kitschy country decor. The waitress seemed friendly enough letting us plug in our phones and helping me figure out if there was any dairy and their margin packets. But that was where it ended. I had very specifically explained to her that I cannot tolerate any dairy, that it literally makes me quite ill but she still buttered my toast and had to remake that and then my eggs came out sopping in yellow forcing me to have to ask again if they had used butter. Now if the place had been busy, I would understand how she could make these mistakes but now it's clear to me why we were pretty much the only ones in there. So I wait again while my toast and grits are getting cold for them to remake my eggs. I'm thinking, yay finally and am to enjoy my favorite go to comfort food. Grits eggs and toast has been my go to favorite meal my whole life and I've not had much opportunity to enjoy it since traveling so extensively most of the time. But oh my gosh, looks can be ever so deceiving. The grits were beyond inedible. The most I could manage to choke down as two bites. All I can figure is that they try to reconstitute or something and it's only 7:30 in the morning. My daughters home fries are dry and boring squares with no flavor whatsoever and she also is leaving them virtually untouched. This place does not deserve to stay in business if this is typical.

    Fried catfish. The greens come reccomended.

    Bad food. Tastes like it's out of a can or box. Not homemade like a meat n two should be.

We ordered the Fruit Tea, East Nasty and the B-Roll. I liked their Fruit Tea, nice and refreshing. The East Nasty was pretty good overall, the fried chicken and gravy were flavorful and comforting, but the biscuit underneath was a little underwhelming. BUT oh boy the B-Roll... omg WOW. I've genuinely never had anything like them before. My husband called them "cinnabon on steroids" The pastry was light, warm, airy, and perfectly soft. Then the gooey pecan topping was sooo good, and the cream cheese icing on the side tied everything together perfectly. Absolute chef's kiss. Honestly, order this when you come here.

Ambience, throughout, particularly decor, especially, the restroom wallpaper but also the painted sunrise as well as the garage doors opening onto a generous patio, was fresh, upbeat and inviting. All of it is so very charming. The menu is very cool as well. We were in Nashville less than a week and we came twice. I do not recall what we ordered but it was all tasty and delightfully creative. Breakfast all day is a good fit for their offering. I know I had a breakfast casserole once, my wife ordered a cheeseburger which I finished for her. I did not sample her bagel (breakfast) but she enjoyed. Tiny biscuits and jelly were always welcome. I would go again in a minute. Overall, a highlight of our Nashville experience. Such a pleasant break from all the fast and over fried food. They actually offer salads which are scarce on Broadway (near the music scene).

Their cinnamon cream syrup was absolutely delish! I left my purse at the table after breakfast and didn't notice until the restaurant had closed for the day and we ended up getting ahold of someone and they came to open the doors for us so I could get my purse to make my flight at the airport later the same day!

    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!

I ordered the 'Country Fried Steak and Eggs' which also came with pancakes. This was also a big portion, but it was so delicious. The prices were fairly affordable.

The service started out great, but our server disappeared after our food was delivered. She dropped off the check, and a while I went inside to pay and the person at the front counter was VERY put out to run my card. Pancakes were really good -- the sweet potato one was the favorite, followed by the cinnamon roll, and last the banana bread. The hash browns with the added veggies and cheese were delicious!! And the candied bacon was good, although a little expensive for what you get IMO. The cocktail I ordered was fantastic -- light and refreshing.
