    Service & ambience were great but we expected more from the food with this cafe being iconic in Nashville. The biscuits & brisket special lacked flavor, needed more salt & butter. However, the pulled pork in our sampler plate was the best tasting along with the catfish & fried chicken. The house hot sauce also made them flavorful.

    We enjoyed a relaxing sunny afternoon walking around the grounds and exploring the little shops before our table reservation time. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with walking us through the menu. There were so many delicious options but our favorites were the biscuits, peach preserves, bacon and hash-brown casserole. We really enjoyed the meal and look forward to returning.

    The food was standard country cooking. Chicken was what I was there for as it is what they are known for. It was “okay. My friend’s was pink inside. They were gracious enough to remove that meal from the ticket. Refills on drinks were prompt. Server was very good. Must make reservations on a busy day. We did, and that went well. The famous people on the walls likely make the trip enticing as it is out of the way from downtown.

    The Loveless cafe is very quaint and homey. The staff is extremely friendly. Our waiter was fantastic. That being said, the food was just ok. I got the fried chicken, fried green tomatoes and grits. None of them thrilled me, the chicken was just ok, the fried green tomatoes weren’t crispy and the grits didn’t have much flavor. I DID love the biscuits that were served as soon as we sat down. Could have eaten those all day.

    Experience at The Loveless Cafe was great. Only negative was OpenTable texting me at 5:19 in the morning and waking me up to remind me if my 8:30 reservation (not cool) especially after I drove 11 hours the day before to get to Nashville. Stop that! You shouldn’t be texting anyone more than 2 hours prior to their early morning reservation.

    This was definitely an experience based on hype and not great food. We looked for reservations and only found one within a five hour window on a Saturday morning, so we booked. Surely a place with so few reservations must be good, right? We would have been much happier sleeping in, saving the hour drive, and going to Cracker Barrel where the food would at least be tasty. The famous biscuits were tiny and over salted. We can check this off our bucket list and say we will never go back. It was definitely disappointing!

    We went because we have heard so many good things about the biscuits. Also it’s a Tn landmark. The omelette was on top of water from the canned veggies used, the eggs had no seasoning the sausage Pattie’s were still frozen in the middle. I ordered hot tea which the waitress said are you sure we just use Lipton no honey no lemon for 4.99!! Was not what we were expecting. We were a party of five. The only thing that was decent were the biscuits. We left feeling no Love from the Loveless cafe.
