Brunch is hands down the most important meal of the day in Nashville. Think of it as carb-loading before a marathon—you’ll need the energy to keep up with a full day in this vibrant, high-octane city.
So jump out of bed, pull on your boots, and let’s do brunch.
In the South, biscuits are more than food—they’re a love affair, and Biscuit Love proves it. One look at the menu and you’ll understand the hype. Fried Biscuit Dough, Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls, or a Buttermilk Biscuit topped with Nashville Spicy Hot Chicken—this is Southern comfort food at its very best. Add to that a place that’s cute as can be and bursting with cool Nashville vibes, and you’ve got a must-visit spot. If you’re wondering where to have breakfast or brunch, this one’s a no-brainer.
Another absolutely fantastic option is Eggspectation, a spot with a strong focus on eggs—served in just about every way imaginable. The dishes are paired with fresh salads, great music, and bold flavors that really get their moment to shine. Located just outside downtown next to Tanger Outlets Nashville, it’s the perfect combination of brunch and shopping.
If variety is what you’re after, First Watch delivers. Kale Tonic or Purple Haze—how do you want to start your day? The menu ranges from Power Bowls to Steak & Eggs, along with colorful juices and tasty brunch cocktails. Here, it’s all about choice, and the friendly staff makes the experience even better.
When you wake up craving carbs to power through the day, Pancake Pantry is where you want to go. This legendary spot offers no fewer than 23 different kinds of pancakes. You’ll also find salads and sandwiches for those who prefer that. Open from 6 a.m., it’s perfect for early birds—or for anyone who hasn’t gone to bed yet.
And finally, you simply can’t talk about brunch in Nashville without mentioning The Loveless Cafe. Located about 25 minutes outside the city center, it’s ideal for combining a bit of sightseeing with a memorable meal. Since 1951, they’ve been serving classic Southern comfort food like biscuits with gravy, chicken and waffles, and pancakes drenched in maple syrup. Wash it all down with a Moonshine Mary.
This is more than just a restaurant—it’s a Southern tradition.
