We saw the Flat Tire Diner spot on the Tennessee Crossroads segment on NPT television last night. Since it was my husbands birthday, I told him we should try this place out! We got there around 12:15 and it was packed but only had to wait 5 minutes for a table. Fast & Friendly service. Everyone was busy, but not too busy to stop and talk and make sure we had everything we needed. The menu is full of delicious food choices all made from scratch. We had the Vegie Melt and Patty Melt. Both were yummy! They serve breakfast all day. Next time we go, I'm going to explore their breakfast specialities. We are so glad we found the Flat Tire Diner. It may be our new favorite! read more

The food was solid, service was good, and there was adequate space for our large group. Great diner!

Visited this place a few weeks ago when I was in Nashville for the weekend. I was pretty impressed with all the menu options but went simple with eggs, sausage, and hash browns, with an English muffin. The coffee was amazing, I'm not sure what blend they use, but I had 3 mugs of coffee (and I usually only have one cup a day!). The food came out quickly and I easily inhaled the eggs and sausage. Not so much on the hash browns but I can be particular about those. Pretty hard to mess up English muffins, so I gobbled those up too. Service was great, place was clean, and there seemed to be decent social distancing though a lot of folks were maskless. Hoping I will go back to Flat Tire next time I visit Nashville/Old Hickory. read more

Flat Tire Diner - Sausage, eggs, hash browns, English muffin, coffee - American Near Me - Old Hickory, Tennessee

Varied menu with offerings in many categories. Food is always consistently well prepared and presented and cooked to order. Service, once seated is prompt and far above average. This restaurant is a local favorite in the Old Hickory- Hermitage so plan for a wait, particularly during the breakfast hours. read more

It's wonderful to have such a wholesome establishment added to the neighborhood. Great service and really awesome food! The pancakes here are everything and satisfied my breakfast craving in the middle of the day. Good potion sizes as well. I appreciate that they kept tables well spaced out. I'd seen the reviews about their cinnamon rolls but I took mine to go because I was so full! The menu here was more extensive than I had expected. And the items are reasonably priced. I can't wait to return and try the lunch although I'd most likely just order the same thing next time. read more

Ok this please it pretty good. I came here with my kids and I couldn't be all Yelpy and take pictures but I will definitely come back and try different things and make sure I take pictures. I had the Zoni Omelet but I had it with bacon, I wasn't too sure about the beef machaca. I would try it next time with it just to give it a try but it didn't sound like something I wanted that day. The pancakes were tasty and also the hash brown. I would say definitely they are not a portion giver. The plate was small and that's what made it look like there was a lot of food but not really. I did expect more food as it was a dinner in Hermitage (East Nash please stay there, lol). I was expecting more hash browns to be honest but oh well. Our waitress was super nice and friendly, also very understanding as I brought my kids with me and they were a bit all over the place . She gave me a to go coffee and some fruit loop cereal on little container for the kids. We definitely enjoyed the food and would come back again. read more

Extensive breakfast and lunch menu. On this visit we had breakfast - Cali Skillet and Breakfast Burrito. Large portions and fresh baked bread. Food and service was excellent. Great place for families. Will be back to try more. read more

A must stop every morning when I am visiting my son. The country fried steak is hard to resist, it's delicious. So far everything I've ordered here has been fantastic but that steak... read more

Service, ambiance 10/10 Eggs didn't seem like fresh shelled eggs but the flavorless liquid egg mix. They were like flavorless rubber. Pork chop was just plain bad. read more

We've been here about three or four times on the weekends, and I love it. My only negative is that you have to put your name in, and they don't take your number down or give you a wait time. They say how many tables are ahead of you and thats it. You have to wait inside or outside for your name to be called, which makes it difficult if you have a large party or children with you. Parking can also be a little tricky if it's busy. (Not as bad as Nadeen's, though!) The waiters/waitresses are all great that we have had, very attentive, and friendly. I love their fresh cinnamon rolls, and usually, I'm not too fond of cream cheese frosting, but I like it on the cinnamon rolls here. I love a diner vibe, especially since there aren't any around It feels like that aren't ridiculously loud, or the food isn't great. So this is definitely a weekend stop for us normally read more

The service was fantastic and the Chicken Fried steak, hash browns, eggs over medium and biscuit with gravy was delicious. It's well worth your time and money!! read more

Flat Tire Diner - The chicken fried steak, hash browns, eggs over medium, and the biscuit with gravy - American Near Me - Old Hickory, Tennessee

Chicken fried chicken was amazing! Crispy and juicy. Do yourself a favor and ask for an extra side of gravy. Hubby had the crabcake Benny. Loved it! Best breakfast I've had in years read more

The wait is insane but usually you get seated prior to stated time, just depends on the day. The waitress was very kind and patient as it was our first time here. The food was cooked as ordered and done well. I don't believe it is some fabulous place to write home about to be honest. The reviews really hype it up. It is a diner with great quality diner food. Would I personally wait 30 minutes to eat here again, no but that's because I live close and can cook the same thing just as good or better. read more

Great breakfast and awesome service! We enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere! Our waitress was efficient and sweet.

Everyone was so friendly from time we walked in door til we left. Its not a big place but they did a good job of getting people in and out. Food was awesome. If we are in this area again we will be back read more

Flat Tire Diner - Crunchy French Toast with sausage and coffee - American Near Me - Old Hickory, Tennessee

On the recommendations of Yelp users, we went to the diner Saturday morning. It was very busy however we were seated right away. The service was outstanding and the food delicious. The Eggs Benedict dish was cooked to perfection as were my eggs over medium. The hash browns were excellent and the fresh orange juice was great! Reasonable prices and ample parking. read more

We went here after going to the Andrew Jackson Hermitage. It is fairly close by. We got there about 1:30 and the place was busy. When we went in we were seated right away. My wife ordered the chicken salad with vinaigrette balsamic dressing and I had the grilled ham and cheese sandwich with the side Caesar salad. The food was amazing in every way. Her salad looked different after she put the Frey on but the taste was perfect. My sandwich was really good and if I had known the Caesar salad was going to be that good I would have just ordered that. I can recommend this restaurant for lunch. They close at 3:00 pm read more

Sat there for 20 minutes before getting our drink orders taken. Meanwhile, we were the only group there. When we got our food there was a hair in the hash browns and black stuff in our orange juice. Also, it was $10 for 2 "large" orange juices but the cups were about as big as a small mcdonald's cup. The food was pretty good but not good enough for the price. read more

Chose it for the good reviews and because I'd never been there. First they put me at a table when there were clearly booths open. I guess they were reserving them hoping for larger parties. That makes sense but I was still very uneasy sitting in the middle of the room with everyone moving close around me. I should've left right then. I was admonished for trying to take photos for my reviews too. First time anyone has ever said anything about it. I wanted to tell her that I am perfectly within my legal rights taking photos in a public space AND show her my 8.7 MILLION views on my photos. I was afraid I'd get a booger on my food so I kept my mouth shut. My over medium eggs were cooked perfectly. If you order eggs that way then you know how hard it can be to get eggs that aren't scorched or look like runny snot. The chicken fried steak was not to my liking either but I'll give them a pass on that one. I don't care much for fried food so I'm not sure why I ordered that other than it was marked as a chef specialty. There were plenty of other options I could have chosen. If you like country fried steak it might just be the bees knees for you. I didn't get many pics to share; I had promised to delete any that showed people so I did. read more

This is one of my favorite little diners. The staff is always friendly, the food is delicious, and the diner atmosphere is spot on. Try the pastrami. I need to try the rest of the menu. But, the French toast was incredible, burgers are great, BLT was huge, and the hash browns make a great side. My favorite thought, is the Pastrami eggs Benedict. Try it. If you love Benedict, this is it. It's done right. I try Benedict all over the place. This place does it right. read more

OMG!!! Best breakfast in Hermitage. The service is quick and the food is great. The pancakes are huge, the pork chop breakfast is phenomenal. An old school diner ambiance is great. Lots of pictures on the wall, you'll want to get up and wonder around looking at them. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, they have biscuits on the weekend! read more

Tasty Typical Diner Food! Went on a Saturday morning and it was packed, however the wait wasn't very long. Food was served Quickly. Eggs Cooked to order, bacon was crisp, hashbrowns were not crisp or well seasoned. The Cinnamon Roll was huge! There was a dollop of icing on top that never melted. It was tasty yet different There were a lot of kids. I don't know if it was kids eat free day or what, and we were seated near the door, so we had full view of kids running around. read more

The food has never disappointed me; it's always delicious. The servers are all very nice and helpful. The place feels like you're at home eating with your family or friends. Overall one of the best breakfast restaurants in Nashville. read more

An incredible local find. The food is fantastic, the service is great and the coffee is really good. Everything is made from scratch and you can taste it. Highly recommend the cinnamon role with any breakfast. The crunchy French toast is likely the best French toast I've ever had. And the orange juice is remarkable. Expect a wait if you go later in the morning, but definitely worth it. read more

Oh.My.Gosh! Y'all, you NEED to stop in the Flat Tire Diner! My husband and I tried it for breakfast, and it was so good we went back two days later for brunch. I got the pork chop with caramelized onions and apple smoked bacon bits topping with a side of hash browns. My husband ordered scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns and a health nut muffin. Absolutely the BEST hash browns in TN. The owners make their own muffins and churn their own butter. The breads and biscuits are also handmade. My husband raved about the sausage, and the pork chop was tender and very flavorful. When we had brunch on our second trip there, my husband ordered the same items. I ordered the BLTA (bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado) with a garlic spread. The fresh baked bread was light and set off the contents wonderfully. The garlic spread made all the difference, in my opinion. I had a garden salad with fresh Italian dressing, accompanied by an Arnold Palmer. The offerings on the menu are varied and we look forward to trying them all. The service is friendly and good, and it's fun to ask about how the diner got its name. You can even pin the spot where you had a flat tire on their map. Highly recommend this establishment! read more

Diners always have the best breakfast. Flat Tire Diner is no exception. I walked in and got seated right alway, coffee arrived quickly and my order was taken just as fast. The service was as good as the food. The employees seem to happy and upbeat, adding to the overall dining experience. I recommend giving this spot a try. I'm will definitely be back!! read more

Great breakfast spot. Saw a review raving about the eggs and pork chop and can confirm it was delicious. And the temptation for extra baked goodies after were too much, but enjoyed them too. Service was great, ambiance was unique and fun. Would love to stop here again if my travels bring me through. read more

Once again Yelp comes through. The ratings for this place were spot on. Great food, wonderful coffee and excellent service. We both had a version of eggs benedict and they were delicious. I had the pastrami eggs benedict and Boo had the florentine. You ever eat something you were sorry to finish, this was that good. read more

Always friendly service. This is a comfort food, hometown feel, classic diner with dependable food. It's not fancy but what they have they do well. We love the owners, all their servers and it has quickly become our regular weekly breakfast spot when we are in town. The only drawback is the limited parking. When busy, finding a spot can be a challenge but they move through a waiting list quickly! read more

Decent food options and a much shorter wait time for weekend brunch. FOR EACH GOOD FOOD THERE'S A NOT SO GOOD FOOD. The menu had a lot of choices, and even the display case up front had some good looking baked goods. We opted for eggs which were alright. The fruit cup blueberries tasted terrible, like they had been sitting in a cleaning solution. The hashbrowns were well cooked. But the English muffin had so much butter it was inedible. The bacon was just fine. HOW WE WOUND UP HERE. Another restaurant in the area had a 45 minute wait. We only waited 10 minutes to be seated here. The staff were pretty attentive. The parking lot was fairly big and we didn't have a problem getting a spot. There was a lot of back and forth with our food experience but this might be worth a visit if you're looking for a quick option. read more

Sent for a breakfast, nice little local diner Staff was nice and friendly service. Would go back for a breakfast or lunch.

One of my absolute favorites places to have lunch at. Their pastrami - made in house - is amazing. Their homemade cinnamon rolls are amazing too. Service is always fast and friendly and I feel at home the moment I walk in the door. read more

Decided to find a breakfast spot with my mom and was not disappointed. The reviews are all true. This place is amazing. Not only do they have fresh baked pies, cinnamon rolls, cookies, and muffins but the menu has plenty to offer as well! Our food was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and the restaurant is family friendly. My favorite part? The service and staff make you feel right at home. Our waitress was very sweet and she had great recommendations. I will definitely be returning to try out their other menu items! read more

I would drive a thousand miles for the Crunchy French toast and the Smoked Pastrami Benedict! Wasn't so thrilled at the $6 up charge for a small side of non crispy wimpy bacon. Thus 4 stars not 5. read more

Best French toast on the planet. The place is packed but the wait time wasn't very long at all. Bacon is cooked just like we like it to be...not burnt but crispy! Coffee is good and our waitress was always coming around with refills...never had to flag her down for anything. Our first trip here was in October 2022 and we said we would definitely come back to this place if we were ever in Nashville again. We are back in Nashville, so see you tomorrow!! *****update***** They aren't open on Sundays anymore... luckily, we found another great little place to go to nearby. read more

Eggs over medium Sourdough toast Turkey sausage Hash browns Homemade strawberry jam And a pancake with syrup That could probably be the totality of my review but every single bit of it was delicious and perfectly cooked. I had heard everyone raving about Flat Tire Diner that recently opened in Hermitage so I called my bestie and said let's go get breakfast! I didn't realize that it was going to complete every craving I had been having for diner breakfast food! We walked in the door and noticed that they were being very careful with COVID restrictions, wearing masks, limited seating, and hand sanitizer available. I felt like I could enjoy my breakfasts without worry. There was a pastry counter at the front filled with muffins and pies. My bestie had an orange cranberry muffin because she can never say no to those. She also had the Cash's fried steak which she said was perfectly cooked and delicious. Our waiter was super nice and got our order perfect. He regularly checked on us and made sure that we had everything we needed. We were able to order quickly and had our food after a short wait. The wait staff as well as kitchen staff seemed happy to be there and ready to serve the community well. Their menu was filled with Diner favorites and some items I hadn't tried before so I look forward to going back to try more! For the kiddos and the adults who are kid welt heart the back of the menu was filled with fun games to stay occupied! It was nice to see a local spot be able to open and thrive during the pandemic with community support. Both of us walked out of their completely full and saying that we were for sure going to return. Don't forget to support your local favorite spots! Especially now they are having a difficult time with the pandemic. Many of them have had to make extreme changes so that they can continue operating. So order take out, be patient and understanding knowing that circumstances are different for right now, buy gift cards for the holidays! We need them to stay open. I look forward to supporting this local diner and will definitely be spreading the word about them! read more
