Best WLM Reviews
Well worth the drive to this classic country diner. Delicious buttery soft biscuits with butter and jam start you off and complimentary. I had the half fried chicken entree — tender and juicy with a light crispy batter. Served up with fried green tomatoes and hash brown casserole. So much food!! Took home leftovers for two more meals! Hubby had a breakfast plate smoked bacon and French toast. Our server was great — helpful and cheerful. Atmosphere was fun and interesting. Love the history of the place along with the gift store as well. Be prepared for a wait. We went mid-week on a Wednesday at 1:30 and still waited 45 minutes. Just go the gift shop and the time passes quickly.
Awesome find. Google search definitely did not disappoint.
Super friendly staff. Great menu.
Biscuits and preserves were phenomenal. The special was brisket. So much food. At 28 bucks, you can definitely take some home and eat later. Wonderfully smoked. The sampler was great as well. The country ham was a standout. Followed up by the sausage.
Cute little shops. An event center, too.
Not too busy at 830 on a Sunday morning. Can imagine it gets pretty busy though.
I had a great experience at the Loveless Cafe! The biscuits (8.5/10) came out hot and fresh, and the jam was really flavorful. The ranch was incredible (9.5/10), and the Nashville-style Loveless chicken was perfectly spiced (9/10). The hashbrown casserole was hands down the best I’ve ever had (10/10). The mac and cheese was just ok (6/10) and fried okra (8/10) were good, but not quite as standout as the rest.
Virginia, our server, was absolutely amazing! She had such a warm beautiful smile and truly embodied the southern charm Tennessee is known for—she definitely deserves a raise!
The atmosphere was very southern and inviting, though some of the posters on the walls felt a bit eerie. Overall, a great spot for classic southern comfort food!
Our waitress Michelle was phenomenal. I hadn't been in many years and my fiancé's from NH and her 1st time. She had to supper special and I had country ham, grits, red eye gravy and eggs and of course those biscuits reminded me of what my grandma would make on a Saturday morning. Highly recommend to locals and travelers...and don't forget the Chess or Coconut Creme Pie!!
A True Southern Gem: Loveless Cafe
If you’re craving an authentic Southern dining experience, Loveless Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, is a must-visit. Steeped in history and known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere, this iconic restaurant has been serving up delicious comfort food since 1951—and it’s easy to see why it’s remained a beloved institution.
The charm begins as soon as you pull into the parking lot, where you’re greeted by the restaurant’s signature white farmhouse-style exterior and the sweet smell of biscuits wafting through the air. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy and rustic, with vintage decor and friendly staff that make you feel right at home.
But let’s talk about the food. Loveless Cafe is legendary for its made-from-scratch biscuits, and they absolutely live up to the hype. Warm, flaky, and perfectly buttery, they practically melt in your mouth. Pair them with a side of their rich, creamy sausage gravy, and you’ll understand why people rave about them.
The menu is full of Southern comfort food classics, and everything is prepared with care and attention to detail. The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the country ham is perfectly salted, and the mac and cheese is irresistibly creamy. And if you’re looking for something sweet to finish off your meal, the pies here are top-notch—especially the coconut cream pie, which is a crowd favorite.
The service is exceptional, with staff members going above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, you’ll always feel like part of the Loveless family.
Whether you're visiting Nashville or just passing through, Loveless Cafe offers a truly unforgettable taste of Southern hospitality. From the food to the atmosphere to the impeccable service, this is a place you won’t want to miss.
We ate food and then went to the gift shop.Because we wanted to buy the stuff that we ate. Everybody is super friendly. The food is super delicious.
And they will mail stuff to your home if you're visiting. I really appreciated that definitely visit when you get the chance. If you are traveling to this location. Uber was a little rough, get from the restaurant, but we were able to do it. It's also expensive, so keep that in mind
Biscuits. I had never been that big of a biscuit fan, but coming here may have changed that. I had heard all of the rage about this place from Jessi & Alessio's YouTube channel. They give you biscuits right at the start - and give you two types of jams - blackberry and peach. SO GOOD. I got the biscuit sampler. I got the pimento cheese & fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, and country ham with a hash brown casserole as a side.
It was probably one of the best breakfast that I've ever had. My father got the biscuits and gravy and enjoyed it. I ordered more biscuits to go. They also have a shop, so I picked up some of the jams! The server was very nice and attentive. Very hospitable. If I'm ever in Nashville, I'll make it a point to come here again.
If you're looking for a southern breakfast/brunch spot, then this is the place. Saw this restaurant on Netflix and had to come.
Be prepared to wait a while no matter what time you come. They are so good that there is constantly a line.
It's all worth it cause the food is amazing
I would suggest to come here after 11:30 so you have the option of ordering from the breakfast and supper menu
