Avocado Toast
Serleio C.

We came here with a group of five and loved every minute. The whole space is super chill -- bright, colorful, and packed with personality. Between the music, the quirky art, and the cozy lounge vibe, it's the kind of place you could hang out for hours. Food was just as good as the atmosphere: * The avocado toast was a stunner, topped with pickled onions, chili crunch, and a perfectly cooked egg. * The pancakes were fluffy, buttery, and came with fresh berries -- classic comfort brunch done right. * The crispy chicken sandwich & fries was a total win: crunchy chicken, fresh toppings, and those seasoned fries that disappeared fast. * Even the simple sides -- crispy bacon and a bowl of fresh berries -- were on point. * Drinks were great too -- my raspberry matcha latte was smooth, creamy, and Insta-worthy with that latte art. This spot nails it: great food, beautiful presentation, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Perfect for brunch with friends, or just grabbing a coffee and soaking in the vibe.

Rooftop Bar - Tall Tales!

What an unexpected surprise! I recently met a friend for a late breakfast at the All-Day Cafe. If you've never been to Waymore's, it's time to change that. The lobby is creative and modern - with funky greenery and artsy displays throughout. The cafe is situated just to the left of the lobby, but in a nice, airy open-concept. It's open seating, and there were plenty of tables still available when we arrived on a weekday around 10AM ... though I can imagine it gets very busy on weekends and during peak travel season! I ordered a shot of espresso (it was OK) and Waymore's take on avocado toast (it was delicious!) Crispy sourdough toast is topped with chili oil, pickled onions, and soft-boiled eggs ... making the perfect breakfast when you're in the mood for something light. This seems like a wonderful spot to work remotely. You'll certainly encounter some folks coming and going - but it's quiet enough that you can put your headphones on and be productive. I'm sure I'll be back soon!

Guesthouse Breakfast

I was looking for a new breakfast spot this morning and came across Waymore's. This boutique hotel has a very cute lobby with an onsite cafe. Our waiter Johnny was amazing. He was very attentive and answered all our questions. Now when it comes to the food it was just ok. My pancakes were cooked perfectly but nothing special. The sausage was a tab bit spicy but good. My mom got the GuestHouse Breakfast. She said it was ok but not her personal preference. Overall not a bad spot to try but wasn't for us.

I made a brunch reservation here and was seated promptly. We came for the bottomless mimosas for $30, which did not disappoint. It was the perfect morning activity after a long night of drinking. We stayed for three hours and by the end they just brought out the bottles for us to DIY, it was a nice touch I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, the sausage here sucks. Everything else in the guesthouse breakfast was fine. I did not see it on the menu but I also got a side of pancakes to make it a sweet and savory breakfast

Pancakes

Great spot for brunch. They have a few booths to accommodate larger groups. The decor was super cool and the furniture was colorful. I tried the pancakes and my boyfriend tried the chicken sandwich. Both were good and were generous portions. The almond joy latte was also delicious and not too sweet.

Raspberry matcha

The atmosphere is perfect for those who work from home in love with this space from couches, chairs and dog friendly the cafe food was amazing wasn't expecting it to be so good.

Omelette, chai latte

LOVED the vibes at All Day Cafe! The furniture and decor is so bright, modern, and fun. The Photo Booth was a blast! It was the cherry on top that the food and drinks were scrumptious.

Avocado toast and breakfast plate
Tonisha B.

Went on a Thursday morning for a breakfast meeting. There were other people around working so the atmosphere was chill. The coffee bar area doubles as the hotel check in too but there was plenty of space. I feel like this food was made with care and attention. My friend got the avocado toast and I went for the breakfast plate (it came with meat but I don't eat pork and didn't want the beyond sausage so I doubled up on potatoes). Even though it was a simple eggs, potatoes and biscuit it was good. (You'd be surprised at how places can do something so classic so wrong lol) I added my own salt and pepper to the eggs but the potatoes were seasoned to perfection and the biscuit seemed homemade. It all came out hot and fresh within a decent amount of time. I'll definitely be coming back to work however, I didn't see any outlets where I was sitting if I needed to plug in my computer or charge my phone.

Great study area. Good chai.
Mariam M.

Plenty of seating to study or chat with friends. Indoor and outdoor. I tried the iced chai and it nothing crazy, just good.

Brennen T.

Food ambience music service, all superb! I had the smash burger the wings and the shrimp Sammy and they all were spectacular. This place definitely deserves some more recognition. It's a scratch kitchen with all very fresh and tasty ingredients! Will deff be back!

Geist has always been beautiful and provides a great vibe. In the past the food was always good but nothing to brag about. Their new fall menu is amazing. I don't know if they have a new chef or something as well. But this was the best meal I have had at Geist. We all loved our food. The flavors were complex, deep and well developed. I had the Trottole and it was great. Such a deep and complex flavor that just felt like fall in a bite. I also tried the Risotto and it was very good as well. Our waitress was very personable and nice. She was a little slow on her return visits as she engaged with all her tables. But I appreciated the personal touch. If you can get here while the fall menu is out, do it! I hope their winter menu will be just as good.

The staff is always super friendly and welcoming, and I honestly prefer this location over the Gulch because the patio is bigger and more comfortable. I think the food is also a little better here. The crispy buffalo chicken wrap is always a go to, and the Titan sandwich is another favorite. The service is consistently great, and I love that this location is a little more relaxed. This is definitely the Neighbors location I would recommend for larger groups. They have bigger outdoor tables, TVs outside, and it's usually not as crowded, making it a great spot to watch a game or hang out with friends.

You find all the necessary munchies, smoked wings, mozzarella sticks, burgers.... You get it, all the sports bar fixings but with really good bartenders that can also shake you a sofisticated cocktail. They got the volume ON for the game of the day! (Many "sports" bars in town do not). A true sports bar, also you know if you see Metro PD eating here it's a good place. And don't forget the outdoor seating, also with perfect opportunity to watch your favorite team.

They have 3 days of brunch here. We found our people! We also ordered a fresh pretzel to go which came with cheese and spicy mustard. This was our favorite find of the trip and we will definitely be back next time we are in Nashville.

The Greg Brady is right up my alley with putting atypical items open sandwiches, even chip. You can imagine my delight in seeing a restaurant that has a burger with chips on the burger as part of the menu. And the Mac and cheese is on the burger too. "A" for creativity. Only two complaint, but neither will deter me from highly rating and recommending here highly: 1. Parking on location is tiny and fills up quickly. There's paid down the street. 2. Music is tad loud for my preference. Call me old, but would prefer it slightly quieter. Music choices were great, nonetheless! But as I said, still enjoyed myself and will still recommend Jack's.

I think crinkle cut fries are the best cut of fries, but a lot of places mess them up because they don't fry them long enough. This place does it right. Super crispy on the outside but still fluffy inside. Both burgers were cooked well and came on a soft potato roll bun. I thought both were good, but I would say the Cobra Kai was the better one. It had a nice kick to it, and the jalapeño jam added some sweetness that went really well with the heat. They also give you a bottle of their house sauce that was kind of like a garlic aioli. It went really well with the burger and fries. Glad I took the local's recommendation. Would come back again.

So I normally only review fast food restaurants but I have to do this…read more I'm sorry I really tried to like this bar. The layout and aesthetic is great. It has so much potential to be cool but it just fails to deliver. Me and my girlfriend have been there three times and each time we say to each other "maybe this time it will redeem". Here's a brief rundown. 1. First visit- we came right after they opened and were excited because the location is amazing. We had some drinks and were dancing and were threatened to get kicked out by the bouncer because we "might hurt someone". Mind you, the bar was almost empty since they just opened. 2. We met up with some friends there for a couple drinks. For reference I'm more of a beer drinker and I understand that close company is primarily a cocktail bar. I was mocked by the bar tender for trying to order a beer at a cocktail bar, which I don't take super personally. It's whatever. My girlfriend who is very into cocktails orders a dirty martini, which they pour premade out of a bottle. That's lousy for a cocktail bar. 3. Came back again. Had some pony beers (I know better now) and my girlfriend had a martini which I will say was great and much better. We close out and my tab was 150$. Something's clearly wrong. They had charged multiple shots of tequila and another random drink on my tab which the bartender very kindly removed (thank you who ever are). Short story long, if you want a dark packed bar with poor service and broadway prices... go to Broadway.

Stumbled in here after dinner to their one year birthday party and it was awesome!…read more Very lively band (The Magi Music) and half off specific menu items. What a great way to check this place out for the first time. Very cool 70s/underground/hipster vibe. So much going on, good for everyone. Dance, drink, have a bite, relax in the conversation pit. It was pretty packed but we managed to have quick service. The happy hour meal deal looks great so we'll be back to try it.
