The Loveless Cafe

“Absolutely loved this place. Was visiting relatives in Franklin and wanted to try the Loveless. Luckily she knew how busy they get, especially on Sundays and made reservations for us. The biscuits really are delicious and are served with 3 different jams complimentary with the meals. I went with the meatloaf, which was amazing, the hashbtown casserole, which was excellent and the mac and cheese, which was mediocre at best. I tried the brisket my girlfriend got and it was amazing as well. Will definitely make another visit whenever back in the area again.”

“I've had this place on my bucket list for years. I was finally able to make a trip to Nashville and this place did not disappoint! Biscuits and jam are perfect! The pimento cheese and fried green tomato was my favorite. The Bailey's in my coffee was definitely helpful after our long night on Broadway the night before. Our server Chaz was great and we will be back at the end of August!”

“The biscuits here have to be some of the best I have ever eaten. Light, fluffy, almost like eating cake. Jams were awesome. Plenty of butter on the table without having to ask for more. Eggs were okay, they have a Loveless hot sauce that has a hot/sweet kick to it to put on your eggs. Hash brown casserole was so-so, would order grits when I return. Ham was delicious, smoky and cooked perfectly. Service was excellent. Wasn't busy when I arrived but by the time I left, it was packed with people waiting. Bought peach jam at their County Market. Clothing store was closed, Memorial Day???”

“We seen Phil Rosenthal enjoy food at The Loveless Cafe on Somebody Feed Phil. We wanted to try it ever since and our opportunity presented itself. We were not disappointed! We are glad my wife thought to make reservations because when we got there, they were telling walk ups that the wait was about an hour and 20 minutes. Once seated, they brought their famous biscuits to the table with strawberry and peach jam…. OMG!! Some of the best biscuits I’ve had! Next, we ordered the pimento cheese and fried green tomato. Worth it! For our meals, my wife ordered The Famous Loveless Cafe Country Ham. She loved it! The red eye gravy is runnier than we thought it would be. It’s more like a au jus. I ordered the pulled pork barbecue omelet and it had a ton of meat in it! I wasn’t mad about it. After we ate, we also checked out the country store which had pretty cool merchandise. We also went into the souvenir shop and checked out a couple things. They have a ring toss and cornhole boards that can be played while waiting or walking around. They do offer a military discount in the restaurant and the country store.”

“The Loveless Cafe is an absolute must-stop in Tennessee! Everything about our visit was fantastic — the food, the atmosphere, and the true Southern comfort vibe that makes this place so iconic. We started with the fried green tomatoes, and WOW… perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Then we tried the bologna sandwich, and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had — thick-cut, perfectly cooked, and served exactly the way a classic Southern sandwich should be. The grilled chicken salad was also excellent — fresh, hearty, and a great lighter option that still felt satisfying. And the desserts… I’m still thinking about them. The coconut cream pie was to die for — rich, creamy, and absolutely perfect. But the real showstopper was the banana pudding… seriously the kind you dream about. Smooth, sweet, homemade goodness that tastes like pure Southern tradition. If you’re anywhere near Nashville, The Loveless Cafe is worth the trip. Come hungry, because you’ll want to try everything!”
