    Biscuits & gravy
    Susanne M.

    This is actually a hotel restaurant but it is open for all. It's small & not too crowded for late breakfast. Service was good, little slow but we didn't tell her we were on a schedule. Drinks were ok, we all tried an aperol spritz - very bitter but that seems to be that drink. The lemon blueberry pancakes were nice, needed more toppings. The sausage gravy was overly -thick & gummy, kind of cold & not much given to put on a biscuit. Bacon & eggs were cooked right & toast was good. Chicken & waffles were okay, waffle was a little soft & chicken a little more done than we liked overall, food & decor were nice & gets you fed.

    Came here durning a work conference with some coworkers. The food was good. I enjoyed the breakfast drinks. The prices were high, but the issue over all was the service. The waitress seemed super annoyed that we were there. Over all people in Nashville mostly came off as rude, so many this is normal? Being from Texas the southern hospitality here was lacking. Ambiance was fine. It was a cute little place. Over all I enjoyed the meal, but probably wouldn't be back. They are also only open until 2pm so keep that in mind.

    Cute little spot inside our hotel. The menu had a nice variety and they offer some boozy morning options as well. The coffee was good and a decent strength, which is always important. I definitely recommend the cinnamon rolls and the egg sandwich with potatoes. Those potatoes were really tasty. Definitely worth a visit! The service was a little glitchy, there seemed to be some disconnect between employees themselves and customers, but since the food was good, I only felt it deserved a 1 star deduction. Hopefully, it was just an off morning. Still worth a visit! Update: went a 2nd morning, food consistently good, but the service is just not good unfortunately. Not busy, but still fail to follow up or check in on us, and on their phone/distracted while we sat there waiting to order and for our check. Food honestly is 4-5 stars, but service got worse maybe 2 stars. Would we eat there again next time in Nashville, possibly, but only if staying at Holston House.

    TENN located in the Hyatt hotel which is walking distance from all downtown hotels. Love that this is a brunch spot so my husband and I decided to check it out. We walked over and waited for a good amount of time before we were acknowledged to get a seat. I was surprised since a handful of employees walked by us. We finally got seated and it took awhile for a server to come and greet us. Once we were greeted, we got our waters, ordered coffee, and food. There was a wait for our coffee. We were right by the coffee bar so I watched when our order would be up. The baristas were hanging out so I figured our waitress didn't put in our order yet. Once we saw our waitress hanging out she noticed we didn't have our coffees and started making them. Not sure why the service was so slow all around except with the food. Overall, everyone was really nice but didn't understand the lack of acknowledgment and slower service when the restaurant wasn't busy. For brunch, my husband ordered the loaded bowl with steak. It was great! Steak was cooked medium and came out just right. The bowl was topped with a paprika aioli. Diner vibes. Loved the colors. Would come back for the food but not the service.

    The staff was extremely helpful and engaging. The drip coffee was great. I sat at the bar so getting great service was convenient. The Sammy I ordered was not good and $16. I don't know if it was due to how Smokey the bacon was but it took over the whole sandwich so I didn't come close to finishing it. I definitely would not order it again. I am sure there are other items on the menu that may be worth going again for.

    This place was a big disappointment. The food was burnt so bad and the pancakes were hard to swallow they were so dry

    This is connected to the Holston House so it was an easy breakfast location since they are connected. We had a sampling of everything with the our choice. Everything was great except the biscuits. They were quite dry and there wasn't enough gravy to counteract the dryness. Overall, a good experience. We would be back.

    Visited July 22, 2023. Honestly food taste is about a 4/5. The Avocado toast is 5/5, absolutely recommend. Also ordered the chicken biscuit. The chicken was flavored beautifully but the biscuit and potatoes was dry. The price was 50% more expensive than other places in the area with the same items and portion. TENN's ambiance is scaled nicer so I wouldn't mind paying the price if the food was perfect and service was better. Arguably my table asked for more time with the menu when I was ready to order but our server disappeared for 15 minutes before coming back to take our orders. I was getting impatient because I brought my toddler & worried she'd be hangry. I'm not sure if there's a pooled tipping system, but when our food arrived none of the staff came to refill our water and there were a lot of servers before they slowed for their mid-day staff meeting. The manager was so kind to let us know that they are about to have a staff meetings so we weren't feeling some type of way when everyone disappeared. There is a parking lot across the street BUT they validate Valet Parking so please use the service! It's much more convenience and will save you the stress of finding cheaper alternatives!

    Pretty bummed with our experience here. Service left something to be desired. Pretty nonchalant attitudes and not too eager to provide service. Order was wrong a couple times. Dont recommend ordering the hot chicken here as it's done better elsewhere. I did enjoy the item I ordered though: the BLAT with fries. I was starving though. Great bread on the sandwich. Not too thick. Maybe it was just an off day for the service. It was also freezing in the restaurant. Even the waitress was hugging herself. Just kind of a blah experience. Fun tea selection though!

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.

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).

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!
