Gather around dear reader for my biscuity tail, and Ill paint you a picture of a gravy done well! Upon our approach the building was non descript, its secrets well hidden in the little culinary crypt. The parking was full, a clue to its fame and a line extended out the door confirming the claims. We were seated so quick we were really surprised, and we sat with baited breath awaiting our prize! The smells were of heaven and brought us great joy, we excitedly ordered biscuits and gravy for every girl and boy. We sat in our booth the staff was a delight, we hoped the pending feast would keep us till night. Out came the food, the angels did sing. I heard the trumps sound and heavens bells ring. I took my first bite and then a hasty other. As far as breakfast food this here was the mother! The food was quickly scarfed and my appetite done. I felt the carbs kick in, the prize I had won! So if are looking for a place to find your sweet bliss, the Nashville Biscut house is a definite dont miss! read more

This place is packed! You cannot make a reservation, but when you get there, give your name and phone number and you'd be placed in line. When I got there on a late morning Sunday, I was told the wait was about 45 minutes. That's fine, there's a brewery next door I can wait at! It turned out to be quicker than 45. What's nice about the app that they use for this is that you're able to check where in line you are, so you know when you're almost called. I got the half order of the ultimate platter, which is 1 biscuit with country and sausage gravy topped with bacon, ham, cheese and 2 eggs. I should've gotten the full order. I underestimated myself. The food tasted great and the staff was friendly. Was this a facade? I don't know. I waited close to 45 minutes from the time I ordered until my food arrived. That is **not** normal. I did not order something ridiculous that required them to abandon everything and go to the grocery store and back to make it. I ordered something straight out of the menu! I thought perhaps they misplaced my order, so I checked if that was normal to wait this long and they said yeah we get busy on the weekend. Okaaaay. But other people were getting their order in 10-15 minutes. I hate playing that card, but I can't help but wondered if the fact that I'm of a different shade from the clienteles here mattered. read more

classic no-frills breakfast spot that does exactly what it's supposed to do. The biscuits are fluffy, the portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade and comforting. Service is quick and friendly, and it's the kind of place you come to when you want real Southern breakfast, not anything fancy. Definitely worth the wait if there's a line! read more

Nashville Biscuit House - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville Biscuit House on Gallatin is a local spot if I have ever seen one. Farmhouse and local decor, old school register, faded and dated exterior, original seating, stained ceiling tiles, guitars, awards and some of the friendliest servers you will ever encounter! I have driven by many times, and honestly, the exterior is a bit worn down and doesn't give the best of first impressions, but I finally decided to stop in for breakfast and glad I did. Also, the phrase "never judge a book by its cover" was created for spots like this, so shame on me! I'm a sucker for a good southern breakfast, especially biscuits and sausage gravy. That is what I went with for my first visit, a full order, which consists of 2 biscuits topped with sausage gravy. The biscuits were fluffy, hot and the perfect vessel for the creamy and sausage chunked pepper gravy...and only cost me $6! The side of sausage was a bit disappointing as it was a singular patty that was well done and cost $4. But overall, a breakfast for $10 that is made to order is still a win! The place is small, only about 16 tables with most being booths. Open seating, so find a table, take it. Servers are beyond friendly and helpful! They work the room together, with no designated sections, so I was assisted by three lovely ladies throughout my meal. As mentioned in the opening, the place has seen better days and could use some help conditionally. Maybe it's part of the local charm? I can get down with that, but the disrepair on the outside and stained ceiling tiles should probably be addressed at some point. There are two entrances, and a drive thru window. So whether you want to sneak in, walk-in and be seen or grab your food on the go, they have you covered. Overall, I am a huge fan of spots like this and am happy they still exist and seem to be thriving! read more

The service was super friendly. Coffee was good and the refills were a plenty. Biscuits were fluffy and yummy, even ordered an extra after they came to the table. The Philly steak omelette was the perfect filling to egg ratio (coming from the person that doesn't really like eggs). The grits and home fries were so-so, but they aren't why we went there. The bacon was perfect. The walls are decorated with fun signs and local art. They also have a drive thru option to get your food to go. Don't judge the book by the cover, since the outside could use some love. read more

Great little diner that serves all the classics. Staff was friendly and food was good. Would definitely go back if in the area.

There aren't many traditional diners in Nashville, but this one is truly the best. The staff is incredibly friendly and you can tell that they are truly a family. I've gone here hung over and I've gone here completely sober and but regardless, the food is exactly what I've needed. They've got incredible biscuits with country gravy, and then all of your other standard diner fair which really hits the spot. It can get really busy on weekend mornings, but the weight never seems to be too unbearably long. They have a drive-through which doesn't make sense to me and I haven't used it, but it is there. Not sure if it's still in operation. read more

5 stars all around. We went two days in a row while in town for a concert it was busy on Sunday morning but we didn't wait long and food came out really fast. Food was so good and staff was very nice! It's your typical diner style ambiance. We'll definitely be back! read more

Nashville Biscuit House - Lumber jack breakfast - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

It was OK - nothing to suggest to people to go there for. Food was not hot. Gravy was not hot - biscuits were not hot -so it all blended in as warm meh - tasteless warm pasty gravy and a biscuit that was not warm - I guess your only allowed 1 cup of coffee because that's all we got - after being seated and served no one came back with coffee or water refills. One if the gals upfront was too busy rolling silverware in the napkins to help out - no one was waiting for a table - Rustic coffee shop vibe - not horrible but not memorable either read more

It was not traditional a southern breakfast. While the biscuits were not bad, the gravy was sweet and lacked flavor.

The portions are huge! The wait we had was about 20 minutes against a 30 minute recommendation so they got us in quicker than promised, and the food was worth the weight. read more

Nashville Biscuit House - Country fried steak - Southern Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I remember this restaurant from my childhood. It literally hasn't changed in probably 50 years except it may be better. The country fried steak is delicious and the biscuits are as good as anywhere else in Nashville, including loveless. If you are visiting Nashville or are new to Nashville its a must stop. It's not all trending and gimmicky like the pancake pantry but it's better. If you want a true southern breakfast that has food good enough to survive over a half century, it's a must stop. read more

I am feeling the need to rank this 5 star other than it being an icon and having good value, quality, and flavor. Okay, perhaps that is enough. Roll that beautiful bean footage. Happened to be on this side of town to pick up a game my son-in-law won at the Nashville Game Day and driving back said to myself "myself, you have never frequented this lovely restaurant that looks like a dive". Suggesting insanity, I answered, "self, you are right, let's go". At least that is the version when they make a Hollywood movie out of my life. Place looks like a dive on the outside (see picture). Signage is faded. Some broken parts. WIth the right lighting, it could be a horror film? Probably not, but went in and surprise ... still looks like a dive. Oh, this is gonna be great (can you tell I love the experience as much as I love food). Drawing on the white board shows a cow pissed a chicken for eating his brother and a chicken pissed off at a cow for eating her children (see picture). Got in and a 45 minute wait. People behind me also grabbed a brew at Tailgate during the wait and were only there about 15-20, so they are conservative on wait times. Bonus points! Said 20 mintues for my to go, actually took 10. No bonus points, as I could have used a bit more time, but I never told them, so we are still friends (unlike the cow and the chicken?). I had a Denver omelet, as I was too lazy to read through the menu, with hash browns and a biscuit (this is the biscuit house. Duh!) I guess technically home fries? (see picture) Anyway, got a chance to eat them at a beer bar sans food down the road and it was like magical unicorns cooked my food. No, seriously more like a typical diner, although I do give them additional props for the biscuit which was moist and crumbly inside with a nicely baked outside (hey, they are the biscuit house, right?). Loveless used to be the bomb in town prior to the biscuit lady passing on (R.I.P.). Yes, I am in a mood today, but the thing you should get (besides the insane story telling) is I sincerely love this place. Diner that understands how to cook eggs without being greasy, nicely cooked home fries, and good biscuits (Biscuit House, get it?). Foodwise, probably more of a 3 or 4 (average to above average). Experiencewise, a solid 5. What I saw of the service (and experienced with a togo) is a thumbs up. In summary: Great combination of home cooked type of Southern food with some nicely done biscuits. EDIT: Friends asked "why didn't you get the biscuits and gravy" and I thought "yep, that was really stupid, wasn't it?" Will have to rectify that in the future as I will be back. Oh, and why are the cow and chicken sitting at the same table anyway? So rude! read more

Finally stopped by and tried this place out! We went on a Sunday morning around 9am, and were seated right away. When we left, there was a wait, so the earlier the better. The servers were extremely friendly and our food came out very quick! The country fried steak with gravy was delicious! Plus the biscuits were moist and fluffy! Definitely do not skip those. The potatoes were just okay nothing too to special about them. Inside is a little dated, but worth the visit! Plus there is ample parking in the back. read more

We came around 11a on a warm fall Sunday and opted to wait our quoted 30 minutes basking in the warm sun sitting on our tailgate vs crowded on the benches at the entrance door. The outside appeared divey but don't let that sway you. Parking is limited and the wait can be 30+ mins so arrive early if you're starving! We waited another 20mins after seated for the food but it was worth the wait! Crispy bacon, tasty sausage, flavorful fried eggs, the best country gravy and fresh buttery homemade biscuits. We will definitely be back! Definitely a place for locals or visitors not wanting the typical tourist trap. read more

Well I have to say I love down home, no fuss breakfast and lunch diners like the Nashville Biscuit House! This place is anything but a tourist trap and is about as local as you can get. The staff are amazingly friendly in true Southern style and the food was off the charts. The decor was also everything I expected as well. Lots of interesting pictures and posters and southern placards with hilarious sayings. Hey are located about 3 miles from the city center which is just far enough so you can expect to find parking but remember this is a local place and the locals are out in full force on the weekends at the biscuit house. They do have a private parking lot but you may need to wait a bit to get one. That said, not so far that you can't UBER or Lyft there if you would rather not drive. So to start we ordered some coffee which was fresh and awesome. Shortly afterwards the home made Southern biscuits arrived with the home made sausage gravy.. three words come to mind. Dee Lish Us! . Man those biscuits were amazing. Cruising in to the rest of our breakfast we both orders the "Nashvillian" breakfast which consisted of two eggs, bacon, grits or home fries and toast. Of course I added on some country ham for good measure and as we expected our meals were amazing as well. To top things off the icing on top he cake was an order of their pancakes which were fluffy and delicious as well. Just keeping it real for you guys, leave the calorie counters at the hotel or home as this place is not about eating healthy. . Just take a step back, breathe and when in the South do as all the Southerners do. I am positive you will all enjoy and hey everybody is so cool here you may want to stoke up a conversation with the table next door. You may make some friends which is always nice. So if you are all looking for a real locals diner that is off the charts this is your place. It may not look like much from the outside but don't be fooled this place is awesome. Wishing you all a great breakfast or lunch in Nashville, TN! I will change my customary closing to something a little more Southern and simply say: Enjoy and have a great time Y'all! read more

What an absolute gem hidden in plain sight! We stopped here for breakfast on our way out of Nashville. I must say, It was one of the best breakfast experiences I have ever had. This is a small place and its decorated fairly rustic. You can tell this wasn't created to be rustic. It is just an older business that hasn't changed over the years. I think some things just don't need change! This is one of them. You get a real homey feeling of an older country kitchen from the 70's & 80's era. It kinda brought me back to my youth of spending time with my grandmother and her cooking the huge style country breakfast for everyone. The staff was very polite and tend to your every need. The place is clean and like I previously said a rustic look (In A Good Way) When you walk in they treat you like family and the smell of breakfast is in the air. I got the "Lumber Jack" This is not for the faint! This is a breakfast for big boys ...lol.... I received three egg's, country fried steak with gravy, home fries, two huge pancakes and a biscuit with sausage gravy on top. I would like to say, I didn't eat all this but it would be a lie. I finished off everything but about half the pancakes. It was so good. I just couldn't stop eating. Needless to say I was miserable and would not have to eat again the rest of the day. My wife and daughter got the "Philly Steak Omelet" They also said it was the best breakfast they have had in a very long time. If I had to try to find anything that needed just a little improvement. I would say the biscuits could have been a little fluffier and cooked a little less brown. This is just a small observation and in no way lessened our experience. I wish we had places like this where I'm from. I highly recommend this place, if your in the area of Nashville. It will be my first stop when we come back! read more

Wow is all I can say. Just wow. Everyone from the hostess behind the counter to the waitress to the guy that busses tables was so nice. And the food? Forgetaboutit. It was the most perfect southern country cooking one could ask for. Paula Dean could not have done better. This food was so good, I was halfway convinced they had resurrected my long dead MawMaw and had her working in their kitchen.the sweet tea is also to die for. Like a delicious diabetic coma just waiting to happen. The only downside to this perfect little hole in the wall restaurant is the wait (which is to be expected) and the fact that they have nowhere for you to wait. We ended up waiting outside in the sleet/snow for half an hour, but we would gladly do it again and again for such cullinary perfection. read more

Three stars because they had great service, very reasonable pricing, and delicious bacon. The pros: Bacon was crispy GREAT service they were super friendly and quick Decent coffee but not strong (waitress was honest about that up front) Delicious very cinnamon-y French toast Cons: Don't know what the corn beef hash was but it was nasty and salty we're used to like potatoes with legit corned beef and this was mush Biscuit was nothing special and I was expecting it to be amazing Grits were clumpy Overall I'd probably return here over going to Waffle House, but there are tons of other places I'd want to try first. If you're looking for a quick and reasonably priced meal with good service this is it! If you're in it for an amazing culinary experience not so much. read more

Got some takeout from here: biscuits and normal gravy, biscuits with sausage gravy, french toast, eggs, corn beef hash. Everything was pretty good, not super amazing, might be because I had takeout. Place was super homey, somewhat wished I stayed to eat. Biscuits were chewy, gravy could've done with more flavor. Corn beef hash was super salty, eggs were fine, nothing special. French toast was fine, not spectacular. Affordable food. Very unenvironmental packaging though, lots of styrofoam, yikes. read more

August 2020 has been my first Nashville experience. What a great City, which seems to be growing and building each day. I chose to leave my 5 star breakfast review with Nashville Biscuit House as they are representing to the fullest for these five stars. Prior to my trip I reached out to local Elite Nashvillian James W. I didn't know James W from Yelp or this crazy life I live. I read some of James' reviews and with fingers crossed sent him a message regarding his City and top picks for food. James gave me a great list of local food spots and a Nashville local favorite...Nashville Biscuit House. Yelpers thats what I'm talking about, reach out and preach out! N.B.H is holding down the Eastside of Nashville. Upon entering the restaurant you could tell there were going to be some good eats ahead of me. N.B.H was packing tasty sights and smells. The ladies working quickly gave us seating options and man was it nice to be sat inside, as lots of restaurants are only doing to-go with limited seating. I was provided a coffee mug and boy was that coffee flowing into my mug on the re-fills! Great service from the N.B.H! I ordered up a tater bowl, with eggs over easy. And of course a biscuit on the side for the chubby kid inside me. Our order was placed and soon enough you could hear the cook yelling "order up," in the kitchen. Old school communication folks to get this class A carotid artery clogging tater bowl and biscuit onto our table. Let's just say if they filmed a Napoleon Dynamite II, Napoleon would be grubbing into a N.B.H tater bowl Yelpstars. Nashville Biscuit House is a great little place that quickly puts the ass** in the seats, great food, great service, and the tastiest home style biscuits I had during our trip to Kentucky and Tennessee. Thanks Nashville Biscuit House. read more
