Breakfast croissant sandwich
Kimberly G.

This restaurant saved me at our conference. The service was fast, friendly, and pretty good. We ended up coming here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner since we stayed for a week. The breakfast was the best. The lunch and dinner were pretty solid too. The restaurant is clean and they have tables and booths that can accommodate different kinds of groups.

This place was a BBQ restaurant with some amazing decorations. We all ordered something different so we had to sample each other's food. This place had a unique charm about it. Pictures of artists from the past and some amazing stories to go with them. Gives you a rustic look. Our food came out very quickly and the plates looked good. We all enjoyed our food but I have to say the fried green tomatoes were fantastic. I had the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. I sampled my wife's chicken and waffles and it was also delicious. The other two diners with us said their food was very good We had a very interesting server who had been there quite a long time and he told us several interesting stories about the restaurant A very good experience if you are in town, especially if you are going to the Grand ol' Opry.

Went here for lunch on a Saturday. Very bright and fun place to eat. There's a Grand Ole Opry gift shop connected to the restaurant, that has a ton of cool stuff. I had the Smoked Cheese Dip with chips and veggies. It was just ok. I had the Cobb Salad and added grilled shrimp which was really good. My favorite part was the entertainment though. His name is Roderick August, super talented musician and such a nice guy!! He provided such a great ambiance, so cheers to him!!

If you like old school country music this is your place. Decor and a menu to honor some classic county musicians. Or...If you are staying at Opryland but looking for a restaurant with some different food and more affordable prices this worth checking out. Easy walking distance (about 11 minutes) from Opryland hotel. Got the Tennessee Style Brisket Sandwich with fries & a side salad. it was filling.

My fried green tomato sandwich. Only two small tomato slices, dry toast, no condiments of any kind.

Service was friendly but slow. Food was overpriced for what you got. The main plus is convenience. But if you're not staying at the hotel don't make the trip.

Food was good - fried chicken sandwich & sausage sandwich Service was friendly but sparse for as many servers in the restaurant Time to get food was long but HOT No apple pie means no dessert Bill was very reasonable & sweet tea was delicious It was good but not great. Hi light was the live music

Oh wow the food was delicious and flavorful and the ambiance of the restaurant is definitely southern. Service was very very basic though - waitress checked on us once during an hour of us setting down for breakfast - not even a small smile. Prices are very fair and the portions are huge The pate in the photo below is $16

Stay here for work once a year. This is only my second time eating at this spot. Usually have lunch as tits pretty quiet and chill. Service was really good. I was seated quick and was able to send in my order right away. Ordered the wings and cobb salad. Both were pretty tasty. Portions were big and ended up taking the rest to go. I haven't been here during dinner and can image it gets busy. I'll definitely be back for more. Thanks for the good food.

This place was good. The service was better. We got seated quickly and ordered quickly. The ambiance was great, there is live music and it was very good. The food. Brisket -- This was ok. The brisket was lathered with a good amount of sauce but still felt a little dry. Garlic mashed potatoes -- These were honestly the best mashed potato's I have had in a long time. Baked Mac&cheese -- This was good. I wish it had a little more flavor ( although this is coming from a southern maw maw ). The Dimond trio -- my granddaughter and her husband got this to split. ( they had A LOT of leftovers ). " all the sauces were really good and paired perfectly with each pice of meat." My granddaughters favorite was the ribs. Wings -- " they were good .... Also very messy " Twice fried tater tots -- these were probably the best thing I ate tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! This was a good dining experience would come back for the mashed potatoes and the tater tots.

Vilija T.

Christine was our server, very attentive. She answered many questions about the food and the different beverages. Was seated quickly. I ordered Brisket sandwich, came with coleslaw. And baked Mac & Cheese as an additional side.. I had the Caramel Apple Spiked Cider iced. Delicious beverage!

We had breakfast here. The place was nice and clean and they had a short menu with some good options. The breakfast potatoes were overseasoned and my sausage links were undercooked. When I told the server about the undercooked pork she stated there had been other complaints and removed $4 from my bill. The server was friendly but service was extremely slow. They were able to accommodate my request for almond milk in my latte.

When you approach the location from the street you see what appears to be an old home in Germantown. You see the Koi pond and start to get excited. You see the sign letting you know you enter as strangers, but will leave as friends. Then you get seated at a table with strangers who you strike up a conversation with. Soon you are conversing like old friends catching up on life and what's been going on. And then the food arrives and a hush falls over the table as you begin to eat. When we sat down the table had beverages, coleslaw, banana pudding, and cucumbers. These were a great start, but then the fried chicken, squash and corn pudding, green beans and turnip greens, mash potatoes, pasta, pot roast arrive and you are in heaven. The food is unlimited, but could table could not even finish the first round. We got sit with a family visiting from San Diego and three coworkers from Michelin on their lunch break. After the meal, you pay a set price for lunch which was under 20 dollars. As we chatted with the staff about the food she said that the lunch and dinner menu changes daily, but the breakfast menu is set. The setting was wonderful and added to the overall experience. It felt like we were back in college getting together with everyone at the end of a long day to share stories.

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!

3.5 Definitely a…read more"have to try" spot in Nashville. The vibe was amazing and it's perfect for a cute little date night. We started with the meatball skewers, which were great, and the sauce that came with them was perfection. I also have to mention the Cabernet, one of the best glasses of wine I've had in a while. The one drawback was the dinner menu felt a little limited on options. That said, what we got delivered. My fiancé had the strip steak, which was really good, and I got the pork, which was also amazing. Overall a really good experience. The 3.5 is mainly because we spent $250 and still left a little hungry. Other than that, a really cool place worth checking out.

Even before my current trip to Nashville, I'd been a fan of Husk. I forget if it was independent…read moreresearch, Breanne in my ear about her trip to the Charleston location, or it just showing up on my feeds that put it on my radar first, but I've been telling myself this is a must-visit restaurant. I even had a chance to go before, when Toby and I had made plans in 2020 to come to the city. Obviously, we know what happened then. I think it was worth the wait. I loved their whole take on Southern cuisine. From the confit wings in Alabama white sauce to their Bucksnort trout, to their Heritage pork--everything tasted delightful. Admittedly, the bright green sauce and saturated Carolina gold rice looked a little funny to me. But once I had my first bite I thought it was heavenly. The server was impeccable. He was courteous, quick, and helpful. I had questions about the menu and concerns about if the arrangement of dishes ordered were too much. But he made the whole meal better with his suggestions and assurances. Even the other incidental staff were well-trained, filling the water and always assisting with the experience. The ambiance was picture-perfect. Obviously the place is permeated with charm and class in equal measure. It felt like we were eating in our well-off friend's home and had put together a spread of time-tested country favorites but with a twist. From the decor to the herb and vegetable garden outside, I felt super welcomed and comfortable. Yes, Husk was a success. I'm a changed man because of the experience. Sufficed to say I will be recommending it to even more people than before and will be waiting like a puppy at the window back home for the next opportunity to come back to Nashville and/or the other locations for my next meal.

They're known for their roast beef but there are so many things that most people want to try so they offer half portions of most of their proteins. The setup is cafeteria style, where you grab a tray and ask each server which item you want. I was completely lost, but the servers were really nice and helped us through the process. The food: 1/2 order of roast beef - this is what they're known for, so if you eat beef, order this one. Tender, very meaty, with tons of jus. Blackened salmon - I'm always skeptical of seafood in a cafeteria setting, but I had a bite of my friend's dish and this was perfectly cooked. Fried Chicken - crispy skin, tender meat, well seasoned. Turnip Greens - flavorful, not mushy Cornbread - solid Desserts - Chess Pie and Pecan Pie - sweet, but as expected. Pretty good Cauliflower hash - very cheesy, could pass for potato hashbrowns but a little drier. It was ok. Creamed corn - way too sweet for my preference Arnold's is a fun time. They paid homage to Masters of the Universe while we were there. The live action movie playing on one TV and the animated series playing on another. There's even a free arcade game emulator out in the front lobby. Arnold's approach to food is no frills. They crank out comfort food that is reminiscent of a home kitchen, in a good way - nothing crazy, just the classics.
