Fido

Don't waste your time or money

by megsnashville at Citysearch

Surprised to see so many good reviews. Went to Fido today-the service is horrible. They are rude and act like they don't need your business.

Of course it was busy because of Sunday brunch, but we ordered a pretty simple meal-pancakes and bacon and my bf ordered fried eggs, hash browns, toast and bacon. His eggs were completely overcooked-the middle was hard, hash browns are just cut up baked potatoes and not so great bacon.

I ordered a vanilla latte which is usually OK, but I think I picked up someone else's coffee at the bar. When I told them it was the wrong thing I got interrogated as to what I thought it was and was treated horribly.

Our table had not been wiped off and when we asked for them to clean it, the server only cleaned half the table and left a piece of bread and an empty coffee mug. I love to support a local business and would love for Fido to be great, especially for brunch, but I will NOT be returning and would suggest that its not worth the time or the

They don't need your business and they act like it

As someone who spends 5 days a week meeting in coffee shops all around nashville, I can safely say that Fido is the among the worst in nashville.

It, of course, depends on what you are looking for so if you just need to pop in for a cup of coffee and then be on your way then fido will do. And given all the factors that make up fido, my bet is that its owners, who clearly care most of all about making money, would prefer you not to stick around either.

This is evident in its purposefully uncomfortable environment. The seats are packed closely together (despite the shop taking up nearly 4 store fronts) which are all wooden for maximum "get butts out of the seatness." There are no couches or interesting seating areas. They once had plugs but removed them to keep people like myself who sometimes need to plug in from staying any longer than my battery would allow.

The staff attitudes are the worst part. They have so much business that they could care less if you are treated like a valued customer. Don't believe me? Slip your foot outside your sandal and see how long it takes for a waitress of manager to come over and tell you to "put your shoes back on." They will be sure to say it as if Fido where a 5 star restaurant too. Then again, I know of several 5 star restaurants that feel less policed than Fido.

I hate to say it, but Starbucks down the street is LESS corporate feeling than Fido.

Love Hillsboro Village's Fido

My sister and I recently visited Nashville for the All For the Hall Concert and read that the breakfasts at Fido's were fantastic. Rachel Ray had recommended the brother shop (Bongo Cafe), but because we wanted a really good breakfast we chose to try Fido's. We are so glad that we did. If we had had more time, we would have gone back again and again. Next time we go to Nashville this is definitely going to be our spot. The Huevos Cubana was wonderful and my sister got the blueberry pancakes. Check out their menu on Fido's website. Of course, the coffee was a highlight and the prices were very reasonable.

• Pros: Great Atmosphere, Very Friendly and Cozy
• Cons: None - Great Hang out Place

Love their changing specials!

I have read some of the other reviews on this site, and I am surprised by them. I can't speak to the quality of the coffee because I don't drink it, but I love the hot tea selections they have, and I have had a great chai tea latte and some yummy steamers here. I am really surprised about the reviews that say that the service is slow or surly. I have never had a surly person either take my order at the counter or deliver food to my table. The people at the counter are always super nice and friendly and the servers that walk around usually stop back by after delivering the food to check on it and I've had several bring me more water for my tea. I am not sure whether the people writing the bad reviews have had bad isolated experiences or whether I expect good things and so good things happen. That said, the main reason that I wanted to write this review is the food that they have on the specials menu that changes every day. This menu usually contains local ingredients, and everything that I have tried from there has been DELICIOUS. I also don't find it that expensive to pay 11.99 for a good piece of fish that is well flavored and a salad. Food of this caliber would cost that much or more in some places. I also appreciate that the portion sizes aren't out of control. I usually feel the right amount of full when I eat something off the special menu. I have also really enjoyed the cakes/cookies/bars that I've tried. Fido is also a cool place to grab a beer at night if you are going for something more casual/relaxed and less smoky than a bar. The beer selection can feel limited, but it's good enough. I love Fido and will continue to go here.

• Pros: Awesome food, good service
• Cons: Not any that would keep me from going here

YUMMMMMMMMMMM
