Good Food, Bad Service
by thenashvillian at Citysearch
I am a local Nashvillin and live near Fido. I have given this coffee house so many chances but they consistently fail in one area - service. This is one of the main, if not the mother ship, coffee house for The Village and Vanderbilt. I really love the coffee and food here which is why I want Fido to correct its biggest flaw, the service. Parking is just not going to happen for you behind the storefront, so don't try. (And please stop trying to pull out of the parking lot onto Hillsboro Pike and make a left towards Belmont - you will screw up traffic for those of us that drive through The Village several times a day) Park behind the Belcourt and you will be fine to walk the short distance. Once you get inside, the line can get a little long but they do move. The biggest problem comes when you do order; it takes them on average 20 - 30 min to get anything to you. I have ordered two cups of coffee before and it took 25 Min!! I have ordered two breakfast items with some coffee and it took 30 min! Fido is never staffed by the same employees week to week which may lend to the disorganization. The Free WIFI and the abundance of seating is a big plus. The changing wall paper of local artist is also a nice touch. Overall, I rate this coffee house a 4 out of 5 with the missing star attributed to their horrible service. If you want the 5/5 star coffee house in the area, take the extra 3 min drive to Bongo Java.
- Pros: Best Coffee, Great Food, and WiFi
- Cons: Horrible Service and No Parking

Fun atmosphere and Good food.
by dinapezz at Citysearch
Been twice now, great food and coffee. The food is very fresh. Nice waitstaff. A bit crowded on Sundays, I imagine because the food is good. Only problem is food takes a very long time to be served. Including coffee. Love the menu options.
- Pros: Great food and menu, relaxed atmosphere
- Cons: Very slow service

Always good
by imonskates at Citysearch
This places just keeps going strong. Nothing fancy, just good food always. You can't go wrong. The servings are good sized and the coffee is strong. The staff's not overly congenial, but always polite and friendly. I'd forgotten about this place, and happened to be in the village the other day, so I stopped in, and as always, I'm glad I did. A Nashville tradition not to be forgotten.
- Cons: village parking
