We love stomping grounds. It's super convenient. Great breakfast and lunch! I liked the avocado toast. The pomegranate on this added alittle tart pop to it. I ordered a poached egg to go on the top. At first I was wondering why it came on the side, but im honestly glad it did. The egg was perfectly cooked. The truffle fries are good- not the best truffle fries ive ever had, but not bad by any means. Service is always great here. Im curious about the breakfast buffet- there was nothing on the menu about it but yet it was set up? I love their grab and go section too- lots of sweets and savory options. read more

The breakfast buffet itself was ok. Had most of the usual fare from the executive lounge since they were not hosting breakfast in the lounge but instead got the complimentary voucher. The service was good and I got a nice and attentive waiter, so bumped it up a star. They didn't have lattes and espresso drinks and the coffee wasn't great read more

Located in a hotel lobby right across from Music City Center. Came by for some coffee and a yogurt parfait which were both fine, nothing to write home about. They do have a variety of snacks and pastries, macarons too, that I did not try. Service was quick and as expected. There is some seating in the hotel lobby. There is a seating area inside as well but it looked like it was more for those ordering actual breakfast/buffet. read more

Big fan of stomping grounds. I ate there several times during my stay. From breakfast, to the incredible burgers (chef Mary!) to snacks and gelato, this is the place to be. I want to highlight the grab and go chia pudding with mango and coconut. YUM. The food is amazing and while some hotel restaurants are sub-par, I would visit stomping grounds without staying at the JW Marriott Nashville. read more

Stompin' Grounds Restaurant - Yummy regular coffee & lattes! - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

While staying here (JW Marriot) breakfast buffet was part of our package. Huge disappointment. Very limited buffet for JW. Staff friendly and coffee and water came out quick but the buffet options were really skimpy. read more

Pros: Nice open space Pretty ambiance Located downtown in the JW Marriott (convenience for tourists) Cons: No free parking, street is best option nearby Long wait (there were two other tables while we were there on a Sunday at noon) Food is mid Food & drink: I asked for a vanilla latte, which wasn't on any menu (no coffee was) and it was overly sweet. My bad for asking for something not on menu. Didn't know the price, ended up being $7. The breakfast burrito was $18 - overall flavor was fine but nothing stuck out minus that it looked and tasted like velveeta was melted over it. I LOVE cheese and this tasted cheap, especially for an $18 breakfast dish with no sides, unless you count the avo. Overall, nice place but wildly expensive for what it is. I wouldn't go back as there are so many delicious and more affordable spots around. read more

This was our first date spot over four years ago, and I'm just super glad to say that despite the upgrade in seating and overall look from the restaurant since we last visited, the service was still stellar. The food tasted great (I strongly suggest the shrimp & grits. Extremely delicious, and a perfect southern brunch meal). Bottomless mimosas (C'mon, can't go wrong there), and the way the staff went out of their way to make sure my wife (who was celebrating her birthday) felt loved and appreciated, really took the cake (Pun intended)! Bravo, Stompin' Grounds, we won't wait so long to come back. read more

The service here was exceptional! Everyone was kind and the valet went smooth. The restaurant was very clean. Four stars due to the lackluster weekend brunch menu. It needs at least a pancake or French toast dish. read more

Malory and Lauren absolutely top notch! Such great instructors super easy going and patient! Great vibe and super personable!

When checking in for a weekend stay at the JW Marriot, we were given breakfast vouchers for Stomping Grounds since the Executive Lounge is not open on the weekend. The vouchers said they were for a continental breakfast, which turned out to be for their nice breakfast buffet. The bountiful buffet features fresh fruit, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, bacon, a choice of breads, yogurt, and sweet rolls as well as other items. It also included coffee or tea. If you don't have a voucher, the charge for the buffet is around $27 per person or you can order off the menu. The buffet provided a satisfying start to the day so we were not hungry until dinner. Our serve on both days was Emily who was very efficient and pleasant. She was even able to remember the type of tea my husband drank and that I liked my coffee with cream. Sure, it is not the cheapest breakfast in Nashville, but for a hotel such as the JW Marriott, the price is average. The bright and airy dining area also makes for a pleasant experience. The only thing that I might suggest for the buffet is to move the toasters for the bagels and breads to the end which would help the line to flow better when there are several people in line. read more

Ehhhhh, underwhelmed. The service was very slow. The food was mid. Not impressed by this place. Above average prices for no reason. Just convenient because it's in the hotel and it was pouring rain. The flatbread was good though. read more

I came to the restaurant for lunch and liked it! I had the Music City Bento with Chicken Katsu, Roasted Seasonal Vegetable, Farro, roll and cornbread. I couldn't decide between the roll and cornbread and the waiter was nice enough to bring me both (the cornbread was the better choice). I absolutely loved the Chicken Katsu. The breading was crispy, the chicken was juicy, and the sauce had just the right amount of sweetness to perfectly round out the dish. I thought the farro was well cooked and I liked the sauce and vegetables it came with. The roasted vegetables were good but nothing special. I really liked the cornbread which was moist and on the sweeter side, and thought it was much better than the roll. I was pretty full from all that and felt it was very reasonably priced for what I got. My date had the chicken and avocado sandwich which he thought was juicy and well made. My only qualms about this place is that parking is a bit challenging. The lot across the street is expensive, but thankfully we found some affordable street parking a block away. I also tried calling before coming so I could ask about the parking situation but no one picked up a which was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the food here, especially the Chicken Katsu and would consider coming back just to have that again. read more

The service was great, the food (and breakfast buffet) was one of the best (quality wise) that I've had in a long time.

We stopped here for breakfast. It's located inside the JW Marriott. We ordered American breakfast and avocado toast and everything was delicious. Orange juice was fresh. I appreciated chef sending us complimentary yogurt with fresh blueberries before we placed our order, that's so thoughtful! Service is great too! read more

Meh. If you're a Marriott Platinum member or higher, you can have the brunch buffet here for free when you stay here on weekends. In which case, it's fine for being free. The atmosphere and decor are great, there is fresh fruit (I liked that there were raspberries and pineapple) and Oui yogurt, and pretty good cinnamon roll bread pudding. However, the regular price for adults is $24 - a total rip off. At that price, I'd expect real scrambled eggs. But instead, there were powdered eggs, limp bacon, and biscuits with tasteless gravy. Side note - the pastry case I photographed are part of the takeaway coffee counter, not part of the buffet. Lastly, We arrived at 10:30 as a party of two. We were made to wait 10-15 minutes despite there being many open tables available. So, if your meal is complimentary, go ahead and have breakfast here. Otherwise, look elsewhere. read more

I broke my own cardinal rule of never eating at the hotel restaurant. I had been eating breakfast there so I figured dinner should be fine but I was wrong. My pulled pork sliders were possibly the worst thing I'd ever had. It was almost as if what they put on my plate was the leftover burnt scraps. The sweet potato fries were cold and over salted. My mother's dish came out over cooked and too tough to chew or even cut. She reordered wings. She checked multiple times with the waitress about how they were prepared and the sauce on them. Well the waitress gave us wrong information. It was a sauce that my mother specifically said she doesn't like and was assured it was not. She didn't eat that either. My sister had a poke bowl and she was very happy with it. At least one person was satisfied from their meal. Management was good though. She came over, offered us all gelato, and took the bad meals off of our check. Was a bit of a bummer as it was the last restaurant we ate at on our vacation. The waitress told us this was a new menu they were testing out and that could have caused the issues... I don't know. read more

I truly love the fried green tomatoes here! Also, they sell gelato and it's deee-licious! The service is courteous and relatively prompt. The ambiance is perfect for whenever you want to eat and chat. In other words, the music is not overpowering, the seating is very comfortable, and it's not usually crowded. read more

Such a pleasant surprise! Firstly, we got a Saturday brunch reservation 20 mins before, lol. That is CLUTCH for last minute plans and serious hunger ;) Secondly, our server, Emily, was TOP NOTCH! She took care of us like a pro and had the BEST personality. She made our entire brunch perfect - from start to finish. Thirdly, the food was sooooo very good. Hubby had the steak and eggs and I had the Greek omelet. He devoured his steak and I loved the flavor in the Greek omelet! Honestly, anything with feta cheese, spinach, and onions will make me happy (hahaha). Not to mention, the egg whites made me feel super healthy ;) Their house potatoes are really tasty and round out the brunch nice and "heartily." Even the pastries and yogurt were fresh and delicious! Had we not been so full, we may have had to try out their delicious desserts and ice cream ;) Other guests seemed to like their Bloody Mary and mimosa bars as well. It's in the JW Marriott hotel, so it may be kind of a "hidden gem" to anyone outside of the hotel. Now that we've found it?? We'll definitely be back. Five stars! read more

Got take out from the counter here twice and it was pretty quick and easy. Coffee was good but they really over do it with the flavor pumps (even sugar free tasted like candy). Their breakfast sandwich was good and their bagel was decent but not really toasted and they have you put on the cream cheese yourself. Overall fairly priced for the area and was quick and efficient. read more

Great Brunch. It's a bit expensive at $32 but hey... it's pretty good and what do you expect for the JW Marriott. Breakfast Buffet was $33 + $9 for an Omelet cooked to order. The staff was friendly and the Coffee was good. I'll return for sure. read more

Stompin' Grounds Restaurant - Gross eggs from buffet - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Restaurant is located in the JW Marriott. Seems to be struggling with staffing during Covid. From order to meal being served was about a 45 minute wait. Staff wasn't great at early communication on kitchen backup issue and management was just ok on addressing it (basic message was ' this is what happens when we're busy on the weekends). Gave it a chance since I'm a Titanium Elite Bonvoy member and it was included as a stay perk, but probably would avoid this restaurant until they've got a better handle on staffing. read more

Avoid at all costs. If I could give 0 stars I would. Poor service. Poor food. No one in the restaurant and had to wait for 20 min for chicken fingers for my daughter. When they came they were so burned she couldn't eat. Staff indifferent and don't care about you. read more

We live in Downtown, Nashville and decided to try the new brunch that Stompin Grounds is offering on weekends. It was AMAZING! Everything is offered a la carte and a complementary pastry/sweets buffet is included!! I tried three of the desserts and they were all delicious. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Benedict and my husband ordered the Smoked Brisket Chilaquiles. Both were unbelievable! We were practically licking our plates. The service was on point and exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant located in an upscale hotel. Ammo, our server, was so wonderful and Virginia, the restaurant manager was sure to stop by our table to check on us to make sure everything was perfect. I skipped the build your own Bloody Mary bar but will 100% be back for that next weekend! This place is a must if you know what quality food tastes like! read more

Every restaurant at a JW Marriott is always incredible. The food, service, and ambiance...... Stompin' Grounds put a stop to that!! We arrived at 11:01and was informed that breakfast was over. The waiter gave the lunch menu. After looking it over, I ordered the music city bento. The waiter told me that's not available. So I ordered a chicken sandwich. The fries were cold and they got another order wrong. Would not send anyone to this place!! read more

Staff knew it was our anniversary lunch and helped us celebrate. Food was superior but the real treat was the dessert tray. Unbelievable!

Not super pleased with this place. Was feeling a little onery/irritable and felt a cup of coffee would wake me up and get me going for the day. Nope. Coffee was bad. Super watery. Chocolate croissant was ok, but on the mediocre side. The price was the worst part. 10 bucks for a cup of drip and a croissant. It better be good. Well if I wasn't already far out the door and on my way I would have asked for a refund. Nice place. Nice employee. And if you're looking for a place with no line this would be the place for you. read more
