So this is how it works - you grab a menu and tell the person you're with to stand on the long line, you place the order and have the person you're with pay while you find seats and he'll get the cute stand. If you're dining in, the food and utensils will be brought out to you. As we waited, I helped myself to dessert first. This is how we usually eat. There's vegan desserts! I ordered the village scramble which consisted of scrambled eggs, baby spinach, tomatoes, portobello, roasted red onions, feta, salsa, sour cream, hash browns & toast and the cinnamon espresso cheesecake. I initially had a cookie, then swapped it for a muffin and then resorted to a cheesecake. That's the order you'll see it. I had to only choose one to save room for more food in an hour or so. Yes, this is how I travel..it's all about the food. The food was nothing over the top; it was average joe; diner style. I was a tad disappointed by the cheesecake because the espresso taste wasn't strong. read more

We went here because the wait for Ruby Sunshine was an hour and I'm glad that we did end up going to Fido. I had been there years before and didn't really remember how things were but it was a great experience. Even though they were busy and the line was long it seemed to go by pretty fast. All tables were full but one cleared up almost immediately. We got mimosas, the berry berry pancakes, and steak scramble. Everything was great. Mimosas I felt were a little pricey for a little buzz but still worth it. read more

I've always loved this place, a perfect place to leave the office, have lunch, and keep working from here. Tried their lunch today, typically I come for brunch/breakfast meals and it was still excellent. I've recommended this place many times! read more

Fido - Crunch Hero Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Oh Fido, I've never had anything from you that was not exceptional! I think Fido is the most popular cafe in Nashville, hands down. On the weekends at the prime time morning rush, it is a good 15-20 minute wait to even order. The line wraps around to the bathrooms (sometimes longer) and you are lucky to find a table. So I typically stick to the off hours of later lunch time or evenings to get my fix. Food wise, any of the breakfast scrambles are a win; same thing with the huevos dishes. Yum! For dinner, get the smoked turkey and brie!! The Eggplant Tower is excellent as well. All of the food is fresh and tastes amazing, you can't go wrong with the menu at Fido! In terms of drinks if you are looking for "dessert coffee" (my term for people who don't love coffee but like the sweet stuff!) my go to was always the Rollover because it had chocolate shavings on top. So good! I've expanded my taste to where I get stronger stuff now, but I've had all the specialty dog themed drinks and they are very tasty! Stop in to Fido and you won't be sorry you did. Just be prepared to wait a bit :) read more

I'm (embarrassingly) a Floridian visiting Nashville for the month. I've gone to Fido every day since I've been in town and it has yet to let me down. A much needed pick-me-up these past few stressful days was the Hocus Pocus latte crafted with intention and topped with decorative frothy ghosts. I hate to pick favorites but the barista with the frosted tips has even individualized my order based on the specific sweetness level I desire. I also highly recommend the McFido bagel (egg and cheese) topped with avocado slices. *chef's kiss* I'm going to miss Fido dearly when this trip comes to an end but I will be excited to revisit every time I come back to town. Fido til I die-do :~) read more

I unfortunately have to knock this review down to a three because of their recent menu changes that continue to occur every few months. There used to be many gluten free options, including gluten free banana, chocolate chip, blueberry, or plain pancakes, mac and cheese, corn tortillas, and gluten free bread. Now, the only gluten free marked entrée is gluten free oatmeal and occasionally a pastry. The menu changes have significantly eliminated a lot of our favorite meals here. Although the limited hours is due to limited staffing, the limited menu is a disappoint to the loyal customers. What once used to be a staple is now somewhere we rarely go. read more

OH MY GOSH! So my sister and I are in town for a few days, and have found out Nashville is just a very breakfast town, so there will be a line regardless. You have to be in this line! The pork and greens....I cannot even begin to tell you how damn good it was. I didn't want it to end whoever decided to put sun dried tomatoes, an herb cream cheese and pork belly in a scramble is a genius and you deserve the world ma'am/sir. Give Fido and try if you're in the area. It did not come up in any of my searches for "where to go" until we looked up best breakfast spots. If you don't go, you are MISSSSING OUUUUUTT! Like all the way. If I had room I would take a cheesecake slice to go as well, but I don't know if I can fit anything until dinner after the yummy home fries. read more

Fido - Pork and Greens - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Fido is one of those places that you enjoy returning to, no matter how long you've been away. Their Local Latte is one of the greatest coffee concoctions ever. The food is stellar, regardless of what you get. McFido is my jam. Cookies are great, too. Seriously though, Local Latte is the move. Cinnamon + honey + latte. Amazing taste. read more

I ordered the local burger with roasted sweet potatoes. Lunch was very good. The burger was seasoned well & it had good flavor. The creamy horseradish on the side allowed me to dose accordingly. The sweet potatoes were seasoned & cooked just right. I ordered a chai latte which was ok but seemed watered down and heavy handed on the cinnamon. I have been here several times and will return again. Although I will skip their chai next time. read more

Fido - Local burger with roasted sweet potatoes. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Always a solid option, the food is good, the tea punch is good. Been coming here for years and always leave feeling satisfied.

Food BOMB service wasn't even service. We got here at 1:30 and they were already closing the place down and they close at 2pm. I've worked quite a few serving jobs... I get it. It's almost closing kinda annoying but I do my job. They said it was all take out which I was totally fine with but then they didn't have to go/plastic silverware. Then it was a fight just to get real forks. We pretty much finished our breakfast right at 2pm. That's closing time. Shouldn't that be normal? Overall the employees were rude and obviously trying to dip before closing read more

If I judged the service solely on the first few minutes of me walking in here I would rate it a 1, be done with it and leave. It's busy and since I walked in without a salty dog Fido veteran. I had no idea what the process was: I saw servers taking food to/bussing tables so I thought, Dine-in? Who do I talk to get a table, is it seat yourself? But there's a coffee bar so do I go up to the counter and order? I quickly went from confused to annoyed since none of the employees seemed either willing or able to help me out-some were busy bees but others were casually chatting. I figured I should just go to the line and found it wrapped around to the bathrooms. *Editorial* people seemed to be place holding for 2,3,or 4 additional people. I'm all for being a pathfinder for your friends but really, there should be a limit. If the total number of your party adds up to be greater than or equal to a doubles match maybe you should wait before you hope in line. *Editorial over* Any way, the time waiting gave me time to decide what to eat....and it was thrown out in favor of their lamb/beef burger that was the special on the board. The ladyfriend went with the chipotle mac and cheese because it was a three way tie between three things she loves: fat, cheese, and carbs. Got to the register and placed my order. The gf got a soy hazelnut latte, but I'm not a coffee head so I just got a Diet Pepsi instead. I got their chipotle chicken soup as a side to my burger and it came out first, it had a lot of big chicken pieces in it had a nice, spicy flavor. My gf's chipotle mac was pretty good, a smooth consistency but not as spicy as I thought. We both LOVED my/our lamb/beef burger. The clean taste of lamb with the meaty satisfaction of beef. I didn't think a place that had mostly vegetarian options could put together a burger so well. read more

Always enjoy stopping into Fido while in Nashville. My friend and I just stopped in for a coffee this time. I ordered the grey skies latte with almond milk and it was delicious. They had a lot of interesting coffee options and everything looked tempting! My friend ordered a caramel type latte and she really enjoyed her drink as well. Great place! read more

Best coffee shop in Nashville. So cute and great food and fast service. Can recommend them enough.

Great breakfast burritos and fun coffee creations. Always a fun walk when i'm in the neighborhood

We came here based on a friend's recommendation, but I thought it was only okay. Decent food, but not worth waiting an hour in line for breakfast. There was plenty of seating and food came out probably 10 mins after ordering. The chilaquiles was okay, and my bf thought the meat & three was good. I know it's a popular location and expect a wait on weekends, but was expecting better tasting food after the long anticipation. read more

Come on ! What happened to you??? I remember moist hot muffins that were homemade now they're dry and made elsewhere . Very disappointed everything changed and the staff has no idea .

70% chance they are closed at any time. Wait 45 min for a coffee. Go across the street to Barista Parlor better coffee with no wait. I am in no way affiliated with Barista Parlor. read more

Mixed review of this place. Ambience is cool and hip. Lots of couples on a Sunday morning. Service was friendly but took a long time for food to arrive. Food was inconsistent. Toast was only very lightly toasted. Ok for bread, not ok for bagel. Eggs were ok but not exciting. Potatoes were very tasty. Thumbs up! Salmon was overdone and dry. Thumbs down. Coffee was excellent. read more

Love this place for breakfast and when you have enough time to chill. The lines can be long at times and the food comes out hot but takes a bit of time. Today I got the beef stew. It was tasty but if you get a cup you may only have one bite of beef (see disappointing picture). I was going to get a side salad but they said it only comes with entry's... I'm still hungry so I should have gotten the bowl! The cup for 5 dollars was a little pitiful. The bread was light and airy and toasted well. Good edition for the soup. I'll be back for breakfast because I love the eggs and salmon. read more

Big portion size, had "Pete's plate" good salsa and the lavender latte was excellent.

I honestly do not know what Edgehill would do with Fido. A staple as long as I can remember being a student in the Edgehill area, Fido always comes through for lunch or as a quick snack in between everyone's busy schedules. The sweet potato biscuit was one of my faves, but usually I will go for a egg dish and coffee. read more

One of our favorites. Independently owned, and a great community supporter. Love their food and drinks.

I was pretty hyped to try this spot and it came up a bit short. To me this was pretty regular diner food, with exquisite coffee. We arrived at about 10:30 and waited for about ten minutes before we were able to order. I got the huevos rancheros which were decent. As a dessert we had the tiramisu which was also decent, but not mind blowing. The coffee was really good, and they have a great self filling system, where a refill is a dollar in a basket next to the coffee urn. It was really good coffee, and that was def the highlight of the meal for me. All in all I might come back if in the area, but I wouldn't come out of my way to eat here. read more

Everytime being here is so satisfying! Such a good place for hanging out with friends! Parking can be challenging on Friday and weekend since the garage is small. But there are a lot of closeby parking lots or street parking. Sometimes the line is really long but it's usually not too slow. First of all the iced latte is a must! The pastries are also good, once tried the blueberry cupcake, amazing! This time ordered the grilled chicken for lunch, it's on hash brown and has a great sauce come with it. Outdoor seating can be very enjoyable on a nice day. Staff is always really nice! read more

I left this place scratching my head in confusion. This was one of those places on Yelp that was overhyped to me. I felt tricked by the reviews and the long lines thinking everything would be out of this world, but that happens once in a while when you are in a different state. The dog theme cafe is cute in terms of theme. I really do appreciate having pictures of dogs everywhere hence the name, but . . . Why is this place so busy? I don't think it's because of the food because when I tried it, it wasn't spectacular. I got the steak scramble and the presentation was messy plus the food wasn't good enough that warranted a 20+ person line. It was too much food for one person to finish so share. My husband got one of their signature drinks, but he was also not wowed by them. Bottom line: This place is not worth the huge line. I would try it when the place is empty. Maybe then they will not rush on the quality of the food. read more

Solid lunch option if you're looking for a not too heavy meal. I had the Fish Tacos which were really, really fresh. I was so impressed with the ingredients. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: We came with our 15 month old son who was squealing happily from time to time between bites and we were getting dirty looks from time to time. (RUDE.) Also, they don't provide high chairs unlike most restaurants, so our son had to stay in his stroller. All in all, good food...but essentially lacking in hospitality from both staff and customers (largely hipster crowd). I personally will pass onto something different next time. read more

You MUST try their Local Latte. Local honey makes this drink so fantastic. I think they add a bit of sage too, but I might be wrong. Nonetheless, this is my go-to drink they create. For their food, I've only just tried their veggie burger. The staff is quite conscientious about dietary restrictions, and even made sure if I could eat mayo before putting in my order. The fries come with this amazing creamy pesto sauce that I could not stop devouring. Be prepared to wait in a decently long line if you come during lunch hour or prime study time (6-7pm). However, if you're only going to get coffee (true mostly for the latter crowd), the line goes by relatively quickly. Service is efficient and very courteous. The cashier made a point to patiently explain anything on the menu we had issues with. Waiters are beyond helpful and quick to check in with anything you may need. read more

I went here a couple of years ago and had a great meal. I have been waiting to go back and went back for a business breakfast this morning with out oft owners. Not only was I wowed even more than the first time, everyone at the table raved about their food. Since it was a business breakfast, I couldn't sample everyone's plate( but the chilaquiles looked amazing). I couldn't even take pictures of my dish, but the taste is still ingrained in my memory. I had the pork+greens. The breakfast potatoes were phenomenal. The seasoning was evenly distributed around all the potatoes, but every now and then you hit a little flavor pocket. These little flavor pockets burst in your mouth making each bite surprising because you never knew when the flavor would kick in. This isn't to say that the potatoes were lacking flavor, but these pockets enhanced the baseline flavor. The coffee braised pork belly was put into a scramble. I was not expecting that, but the scramble was done very well. The herb cream cheese plus the tender pork belly made the crumble. My only small complaint would be that I would have chopped up the sun-dried tomatoes smaller. Whenever one of the tomatoes made it into your mouth the flavor overpowered everything else. Smaller pieces would remedy this. I was not the biggest fan of their apple a day drink. I can't remember the ingredients in it but it was a tad too sweet and really just tasted like apple cider. I wouldn't pay that much for it again. This is now a top 3 breakfast place in Nashville on my list. read more

I want to make very clear that I am not trying to hurt this business with my review. I had a fantastic cheese danish. The local sausage was good too. The staff was lovely too! My gripe is with the avocado toast. The menu describes this dish as "smashed avocado, fresh burrata cheese, spicy grape and tomato salad, and red onion". Sounds good right? The smashed avocado is straight up guacamole. I can get over this because who doesn't love guacamole? The spicy grape and tomato salad is disgraceful. It's basically grapes and tomatoes sliced in half with what tastes like mild Taco Bell sauce just smothering it. This sauce drowns out the guacamole. You literally can't taste the avocado in the avocado toast! What's the point of having Taco Bell sauce all over your dish when you have hot sauce on every table? Avocado toast is a tricky dish because if you do too little you'll get some bland disappointment and if you do too much you get this. As I said earlier, I'm not trying to hurt this business. I'm just trying to bring attention to one menu item that needs to be repaired. read more

The food was delicious. I was kind of tired so I don't remember exactly what I got; it was standard breakfast fare and it was quite tasty. I will say that the coffee was not great; we actually wound up leaving our drinks unfinished and going to another cafe for our caffeine. What's really interesting is the seating; it kind of sprawls back through a maze of storefronts. I don't understand how these pagers work; it's almost like the waiters geolocate them, because they just kind of show up at your table? It's very fun to watch. read more

Y'all. I've been in Fido several times for work "coffee" meetings but haven't ever ordered more than the polite oatmeal or parfait. Both of those are good. And the coffee has always been amazing. Today no exception with a Horchata Latte with Lavender Syrup... but seriously, the breakfast pizza today was drive across town again tomorrow morning to eat it again because it was so good! We will be back! And I'm super excited to try more of the menu. read more

Basic is what comes to mind when I think of Fido. There was nothing special or interesting about my breakfast or other items on the menu. As you can see from my picture, it looked like something you could make at home within a few minutes.. I understand they might not be going for some world class meal, but then don't charge so much. The prices weren't cheap. I've only been here for their breakfast and nothing else. Their coffee or drinks might be really good. They got a 3* from me based off their breakfast food only. read more

Fido is a simple restaurant that's always packed and offers yummy food! Anytime I've been or have passed by it's packed. It's roomier inside than it looks from the inside. You simply order at the counter and find a seat and they bring the good out to you. Beware for a LONG (30+ min) wait for your food to come out during peak times. They have an all day breakfast menu which I love! Breakfast food is my favorite. Their lunch menu is filled with a nice variety of items. The turkey and Brie is the BEST! I got it with their sweet potatoes which I couldn't get enough of. Definitely get the sweet potatoes over fries, the fries are a little on the thin side. Their pancakes are HUGE and sooo delicious. They also offer muffins, coffee and baked goods! I love that you can come to Fido for any meal, and also just to come hang out with coffee and cake. read more

Fido is a staple in the Hillsboro Village area and I hope it stays forever!! On weekends there is always a long wait so be prepared! There is adequate seating space inside and some seats outside, weather permitting They offer breakfast, brunch, and lunch and good mimosas! The only thing I have to say "bad" is this veggie sausage. I believe it is house made but their is NO flavor to it...they would do better if they served the MorningStar veggie patties...the sky blue cafe in East Nashville does this and it is a winner!!! It just tastes better! Besides that I love the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff! There is parking in the back because 21st Avenue has limited parking read more

Came here for a dinner event so can't really speak to the breakfast/brunch here, but the dinner was fantastic! We had a bunch of shared appetizers, including the hummus, this biscuit with tomato jam thing, this crostini with smoked salmon and capers, all were so good that I came pretty close to filling up before the main event. The havana-ooh-na-na sandwich (yes, named for the song) is SO good, so juicy and flavorful and it was dripping down my arms about two bites in. Plus the giant mound of shoestring fries with the nice tangy aioli...mmm. I felt like I needed to be rolled out of the restaurant afterward, and this was before they brought out the cake. The apple caramel cake, by the way--super rich but not overwhelming. Very autumnal and delicious! read more

When I think of Nashville's best restaurants, Fido is near the top of the list. I say this because of its affordability and low-key vibe, but the food is reliably delicious. I always try to take guests here because they have options for everybody. My go-to is the braised beef sandwich with the fries and aioli. It's juicy, large portions and never disappoints. I've also tried their steak and eggs, eggs Benedict's, salads and coffee and all were great. read more
