    The Waffle House Building
    Dana F.

    This was a fantastic American experience. Our waitress, Paris, was fenomenal despite it being the end of her shift, and she was the only one waiting on the entire restaurant with around 20 customers in the restaurant. The hash browns were very good. I had buttered toast which was great and she didn't charge me anything! Service was very fast even though they had just started cleaning the grill when we got there. The general vibe of this place was so aesthetic. Perfect place for a late night meal.

    House chile. I think this is on the secret menu.  Eat half and save the other half for your hash browns
    Dennette S.

    We love this place, looking for a simple breakfast that is quick and friendly service. This is a good place to come late in the evening. We stopped in after the Opry show. We enjoyed our waffle, with pecans and maple syrup, eggs, grits, hash browns and the star of the show was the house made Chile. I think this is on a secret menu. We at some straight from the bowl and saved the second half to go with our hash browns. SOS so good, next time we might add some cheese on top. Fun and fast service, our cook was quick and efficient. Amazing how fast everything was prepared. Definitely not fancy, but hits the spot.

    Great service and great location if you're looking for a quick traditional breakfast! The bacon was crispy, coffee was fresh and hot and grits were right on!

    Now this review is on the full Waffle House experience! This was my first time ever at a Waffle House, and I went in with no expectations whatsoever. We were seated pretty quickly. There were several tables that just had to be cleaned up. Our server was so kind, and took our order right away. I got the all star breakfast with over easy eggs, hash browns, sausage, white toast, and a chocolate chip waffle. The eggs were cooked perfectly which the right amount of runny yolk. I love hash browns and these were also crispy and flavorful. The sausage was just okay and the white bread was just white bread. But altogether it works very well. Now this waffle was amazing! It was light and fluffy and the mini chocolate chip made it tasty! All the food I got was under $11 before tip! It was a very reasonable price. I did enjoy my first Waffle House experience.

    Packed house but quick service and short wait. Our server could not be better with reassuring our table would be clean and that she'd be right with us. This is the All-Star Special, with a plain waffle and cheesy scrambled eggs. The waffle was perfect, exactly what you would expect from a place specializing in waffles. The eggs were cooked delicately with cheese laced throughout. No burn spots, everything juicy. The hashbrowns were good, adding a couple dashes of salt helped. The coffee was too hot for me to enjoy immediately, but what else could you expect... Overall a goood experience!

    Waffle house? I think not. The waffles tasted worse than what you get from the freezer section. If your going to add toppings to the waffles might Want to make sure it doesn't look like a child's plate. Smothered hash browns came with kraft cheese..seriously?! Who still eats processed kraft cheese. I was definitely not impressed. Not sure how this a must visit when the food is terrible. However, the enthusiasm of the waitresses was great.

    Yeehaw, my first time at the Waffle House in probably 33 years or more and it wasn't as bad as I had expected. On our last day in Nashville some of my colleagues insisted to have breakfast at the Waffle House since they got tired of the hotel breakfast buffet. Surprisingly I felt that the Waffle House breakfast actually tasted better in many ways, from the coffee to the waffle, the eggs and bacon and the homemade grits. I also liked that the place was nice and clean and had friendly service. I doubt that I am going to be a regular but definitely will be back. Enjoy and Bon Appetit.

    Was excited to try this place out. It's definitely a vibe. The people are nice and yell out the orders and they are cooked on demand. We sat at the bar and I was highly entertained by the ladies cooking and talking. The food was ok, nothing memorable. I might go back if I'm in the area

We dined early on a Saturday so it wasn't busy yet. Service was wonderful. Staff told us of their favorites and didn't steer us wrong. You must get the grits! They were delicious!

    This place was awesome overall. It was pretty crowded, but they moved fast and kept things flowing…read more If you like attentive service with waitresses checking on you often, I'd recommend sitting at a table instead of the bar since the bartenders stay pretty busy. Even with that, we still had a good experience. There was a little mix-up with our food a few people who ordered after us got their meals first, and the table next to us accidentally received our order, so we ended up waiting a bit longer. It was definitely frustrating at the moment, but once our food came out, it made up for it. We had the shrimp and grits along with the steak, eggs, and hashbrowns, and everything was delicious. The sweet cream cold brew was really good, and even though the orange juice was a little small, it still tasted fresh. The atmosphere was nice, and I also liked that they had outdoor seating. Overall, despite the small hiccup, I'd still come back and recommend this spot.

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 ambiance is very national CHAIN 'like. What's horrid is, it caters to the 'experienced'…read morepocketbook--yet, the evening lighting is dreary, so you can't see what you're eating. I presume it was clean, but cannot be certain 'cause it was too dark & dreary. (I usually avoid chains.) The host was all 'cheery' and such, but I would have none of it. When you ask, 'how are we?' My response will always be, either to turn around to look and RE-state that it's "dinner for one," or ignore him/them, or possible some other even more rude response (to such an ignor*** comment/question: I don't have a mouse in my pocket--do you, I am not an alien with a foreign entity living in my body, 'do I look pregnant?') Another server showed up and everything, service-wise, took a step forward. I am always clear and very particular on my food. I don't eat pork (clean food and religious reasons--both one and the same) and I don't eat Nightshades (food allergies). I clarified that the brisket was beef. I emphatically repeated that if it was NOT 'fatty' I did NOT want it. This wasn't casually declared . It was repeated, belabored and emphasized. I did NOT want it if it was NOT fatty. And we thoroughly examined the rest of the menu (side dishes) to ensure I could eat they (savory but NOT sweet and no pork). I settled on the Brussels sprouts and corn on the cob. The second server had promised to get my order out to me in five minutes. He pretty much executed--good on him. The brisket: over cooked and dry. I am disgusted that my highly specific request had been so blatantly ignored. The corn on the cob had been 'soaking' in something (water?) and it tasted like laundry water (no I've never drank dirty laundry water but we all know what it smells like and our taste buds respond to our olfactory senses. I haven't tried the Brussels sprouts I'm already so disgusted that I cannot handle more .

The small signage made it a little difficult to find inside the Marriott (see pictures), but from the moment we walked in, heard the live piano player and saw the dining area - we knew this would be a great experience. We started off by sharing orders of Lobster Bisque (see picture) and Burrata with Toast (see pictures). We really enjoyed both of them - the Lobster Bisque was so creamy and smooth and the Burrata was cool, fresh and clean. They were a great combination to start our dinner experience and I would recommend both of them. Since it was a Friday during lent, my wife opted for the BBQ Shrimp Pasta (see picture) and I went with the Daily Fish Special on Blue Corn Grits (see picture). As we always do when we go out, we shared our plates and really enjoyed both of them. The BBQ Shrimp Pasta was rich, buttery and smooth and the Fish Special was a tasty white, flaky and blackened fish served on a bed of rich, creamy blue corn grits.
