Traditional style American diner, in the centre of Nashville. Serves breakfast and lunch, with a Nineteen fifties vibe with matching decor, playing classic C&W songs. Food is served around three central counters, and was very tasty. Recommend the Chicken Waffles with maple syrup.Service was...Read More

The best place to eat breakfast in Nashville. Excellent food l, just be aware that the portions are huge (which can be helpful when are hungover) and there is always a line, but it’s worth the wait. Don’t feel surprise that all the waitress will call...Read More

We came back twice! Whilst the 1st visit the food wasn’t to my personal taste, it wasn’t to the fault of the establishment. Coming back and trying another dish, it was deserving of its high rating and number of reviews from other visitors. An excellent spot for...Read More

Great food, friendly servers. I had the fat elvis burger, which wasn't on the menu. But they made it for me it was so good. The peanut and bananas works, the fries crispy. Check this place out.

Really fun historic/iconic place to have breakfast. We stopped in for breakfast, not expecting much but rather for the nostalgic atmosphere. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Service was excellent and attentive, and the breakfast was delicious with generous portions. Highly recommend for breakfast. Hangover biscuits...Read More

The pork belly breakfast tacos were delicious. The menu is small but on point. I did see a review that did mention limited meat options other than pork and I can confirm that is correct. But the pork belly is awesome! Service decor and food...Read More
