Editorial Review for Loveless Cafe – by Jonathan Flax

In Short
Located at the Northern terminus of the Natchez Trace Parkway, this legendary haunt is a blend of successful tourist hot spot and local favorite. The decor is Southern rustic, with chunky wooden tables, paintings depicting country music stars, eight-by-10 photos of celebrities and blue-checked tablecloths. Every table gets a plate of the famous biscuits served with sorghum and peach preserves. All-day breakfast highlights include the smoky-sweet country ham with special "red-eye" gravy and made-to-order eggs.

I heard when I moved here I had to try the Loveless Cafe. When I arrived there was a wait. I asked the hostess how long and she quoted me 20 minutes. I ended up waiting 45 minutes. Finally after being seated the waiter greeted us. She was very friendly! She truly made the experience worth going. The biscuits and preserves were wonderful but the food was very average. I'm not sure what the big deal about this place is. In my opinion it is very overrated and overpriced for the quality of food you get.

Pros: Nice wait staff

Cons: Rude hostess and average food

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Used to eat here regularly and was friends with owner when I lived in Nashville. It had been over 25 years since I was last there. It has changed a lot and all for the better as far as ambiance. There is finally room to accomodate the crowds. Still the best breakfast anywhere. Will make you laugh at Cracker Barrell. My wife is not a biscuit fan but loved these and bought some peach preserves to take home. Country ham always excellent and eggs always cooked perfectly. Deserves it's reputation and success. Waitress covered many tables with outstanding service and attentiveness. What a great Nashville tradition!
