    THE spot !
    Shea C.

    Went back for our 3rd meal. The pork chop is still a star ! 100% recommend. I loved the breakfast quesadilla get a side of gravy with it. Just highlights all the flavors of the south ! When we come back this will remain a hot spot for us !!!

    Upstairs civil war in Nashville

    Our breakfast was WONDERFUL!! Our server, she was spectacular! I ordered the "coastal" I asked for soft scrambled eggs with the sun dried tomatoes & artichokes. It arrived with perfectly seasoned potatoes. HH (hungry hubby) had the Classic (?) it had scrambled eggs , bacon, seasoned potatoes & a biscuit with yummy housemade jam. Now you can go for the breakfast...lunch ... or just the bar later in the day... but you HAVE to go for the HISTORY! (If that interests you) The downstairs area has the most amazing collection of WW2 memorabilia! I just ate it up! Upstairs has amazing Civil War memorabilia! I could stay there for HOURS just for the memorabilia. We will be back!!!

    Woke up on a Sunday morning in Nashville with a few hours left before having to head to the airport. This place was walking distance from my hotel in Downtown. It was the perfect choice. I sat at the bar with my water and black coffee which was good and strong. I ordered one of their traditional breakfast plates, the roasted pot roast. Very good! The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. If you're in the downtown Nashville area, stop by and see this quaint little place.

    Blueberry lemon pancake

    Found this place on Yelp while visiting Nashville with my husband. Absolutely loved everything I had. The lemons blue berry pancake was so fresh and delicious. Breakfast sandwich was amazing!!

    We stayed in Nashville for 3 nights and stumbled on this place. The gentleman out front (we later leaned his name as Jackie) highly recommended. We are so grateful we listened. We ate here all 3 mornings. The staff were so lovely and the food was amazing. The fried pork chops were so delicious. The biscuits were so light and scrumptious with their homemade mixed berry jam. Highly recommend. 5 stars for all food, service and the ambiance is like your quintessential small town family own restaurant.

    Came right in got seated and Ian is our server. He is friendly and knowledgeable and very attentive. The restaurant has so much history for World War I and the Civil War. Nice ambiance . The food is great and very filling. Try it out you won't be disappointed.

    Classic super delicious diner burger! What more can I say! The service was quick and homey, and so was the restaurant itself.

    I have been trying for so long to come and get a taste of 417. I finally did just that! Do recommend getting there rather early for the sake of the wait time. They DO NOT accept reservations. We went around 9:50am on a Sunday and had to wait for 20 minutes to be seated. As the morning went on wait times were a little longer. Prepare accordingly. Service is prompt and food came out fresh!! We ordered.. Crispy chicken pancake combo 5/5 Pancake combo 5/5 Banana Foster 5/5 Bloody Mary 3/5- they over did it on the amount of pepper in it. Pancakes are super fluffy and a decent size. You'll most likely have leftovers. Their portion sizes are decent and enough for prob two if you don't have a big appetite. Food was amazing! I'm not sure you could go wrong with anything on this menu. I will be back to try the breakfast quesadillas and fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade.

    Good service. Felt a bit rushed to order, but overall happy with my food. I didn't like the eggs at all, not much of an egg person anyways but the texture felt like it wasn't cooked right. The place is nice and cozy, music level was appropriate. The biscuits are the best! Prefers cash payment over cc transactions.

    Found this place across from our hotel for brunch, and the atmosphere and food and drinks were the best!! We sat at the bar, and the service was excellent!! Morgan, our bartender, was the best!! So sweet and made the best drinks. We had Tito's with OJ and cranberry juice. They are also voted the best, bloody Mary! It was awesome!! The food was so good! We ordered the big country breakfast and split it. It was perfect! 3 eggs, 2 biscuits, sausage, ham, bacon, and homestyle potatoes!! The homemade jam was to die for!! The gravy was good, too! The restaurant is so cool, the decor and location are awesome! All the staff are friendly and welcoming!!

    This is the kind of breakfast place I wish I had near my home. Delicious. Homemade everything- biscuits to jam. I had a breakfast sandwich with home fries . Home fries were delicious and had grilled onions with them. Biscuits were soft and just out of the oven. Service was prompt and friendly. Coffee kept flowing throughout breakfast so I was super happy. Get here early or expect a little wait for a table. Nice benches outside if you do need to wait a bit.

    Bloody Mary
    Aimee T.

    I truly wish that I had better things to say about the FOOD at 417 Union. So let me start with everything else. 417 Union is a charming blast from the past. The outer building and the contents within are rife with aged brick and remnants of a time long gone. A history lesson not soon to be forgotten. The restaurant itself is full of back rooms, and is a multi-storied-once-functioning, mansion waiting to tell a story. History lines the walls and I'm here for all of it. However, the food was boring and bland and left a lot to be desired. It seems that they are leaning on the history of the building to replace flavor and invention in its food and it's sad. Hubby had Anthony's favorite, which consisted of two eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, gravy and biscuit. He said nothing tasted special but the bacon and gravy was good. I had a bloody Mary and that was good. I had the Breakfast Sandwich, minus the herb mayo and cheese and it was just ok. It didn't have any seasoning and had zero pizzazz. The bread wasn't conducive for a warm sandwich, and there was nothing that made it something greater than what I cook at home everyday. I want to like the food here because of the building, history and nostalgia but in my opinion, this is just a poor place to eat with a museum like atmosphere. Sorry.

    The Pancake Pantry across from our hotel had a long line and I had bookmarked 417 Union so off we went and I am glad we did! Small place, honoring war heroes. Excellent food! The breakfast sandwich had great flavor and I liked that the bun didn't get soggy with the fried eggs so you could actually eat it as a sandwich (but you do need a few napkins ). Hubby had pancakes and they were huge and fluffy. Would highly recommend this place for breakfast!!

I've genuinely never had anything like them before. My husband called them "cinnabon on steroids" The pastry was light, warm, airy, and perfectly soft. Then the gooey pecan topping was sooo good, and the cream cheese icing on the side tied everything together perfectly. Absolute chef's kiss. Honestly, order this when you come here.

    I've been wanting to try this place for ages, but it always seemed packed. Well, today (Memorial…read moreDay) was no different. I tried to swing by around ten minutes to noon, but it was a disaster. There were heaps of people waiting outside, and it didn't look promising. I went to the hostess stand and asked the guy if I could get a table for one, and he said, "Oh, you can sit at the bar; it's open seating. There's one open seat right there!" So, I walked through and was approached by another worker who asked me what I was doing. I told her the guy said I could sit at the bar, and there was an open seat, even though I never saw one. I did see open seats outside at the bar, though. The bar has two sides, one outside and one inside. It seemed alright; it wasn't too hot or humid, so I went. There were dirty dishes all over the place, and I sat down. Another worker asked me, "Are these dishes yours?" Which seemed a bit strange because the guy works the bar and wouldn't he have known the person sitting there before me left them? Anyway, I said no, and he cleared them. I then waited about 5 minutes before another worker skillfully wiped the bar of debris and then got three menus and three sets of silverware (two more guys sat down next to me) and asked me if I wanted water. I said, "Yes, please." She went off, and then shortly after, I saw the same guy come with a menu and a set of silverware and a water. Thumbs up for the water but thumb down for the slowness. I saw the menu and was torn between pancakes and biscuits. I didn't really want anything heavy, so I got the biscuits and gravy but added an egg. I also got a coffee. The wait time for the food was super quick, and the food was really good. The biscuits are small, and they're okay. The egg was good, but it's kinda hard to mess up an egg. I saw the food the people sitting next to me got, and it looked amazing! Pancakes, etc. Overall, the service was pretty bad, but the food was good. I saw no sense of urgency in the workers when they were obviously swamped. I might come when it's not so busy next time. Side note, maybe I'm showing my age, but the price of regular drip coffee was a bit steep. ($4).

I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day.

But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!

We were seated in less than 10 minutes even though the place was packed. And this was around 11 AM on a Tuesday, so I can only imagine how busy weekends get.

We also ordered coffee to go with everything and wow... such a comforting, satisfying breakfast. The blueberry pancakes were fluffy, buttery, and filled with sweet blueberries in every bite, while the banana pancake had that perfect caramelized banana flavor that tasted homemade in the best way possible. And PLEASE do yourself a favor and try the cinnamon syrup with the pancakes. It was insanely good and honestly took the pancakes to another level. Sweet, warm, buttery, with the perfect cinnamon flavor... I could probably drink that syrup by itself. What impressed me most is that despite how full the restaurant was, our food came out in less than 20 minutes. Everything felt efficient without ever feeling rushed. This is one of those places where yes, the food is really good, but what truly makes you want to come back is the service and atmosphere. Overall I loved the entire experience, and the next time I come back to Nashville, I already know I'll be returning here.
