We spent a few days in down town Nashville and walked past this diner numerous times. We were intrigued by a 6 story diner, and this morning, decided to give it a shot. So glad we did! They seated us on the 4th floor, next to a large open window, where we had an excellent view of the street below. My wife and I decided to split the waffle sliders: Omelet Style Eggs, Cheddar Cheese, and Bacon sandwiched between 2 pieces of Belgian Waffles. There were 2 'sliders' - which were huge! Everything was cooked to perfection. And the combination of flavors were unbelievable. We both thought they were delicious. I can't wait to try making this at home! The decor was great. The staff couldn't have been better. Service was quick and efficient. We're so glad we decided to eat here! read more

The Diner - Waffle sliders with a side of watermelon - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The Diner has become our go-to spot after a night out on Broadway. We always end up on the 4th floor, and it never lets us down. Their wings and chicken tenders hit exactly right after a few drinks on the town. The service is always great too, no matter how busy it gets. We'll keep coming back! read more

We walked right in at 5:20pm on Saturday night. The host was very friendly and let us look at a menu quickly before guiding us the elevator to the 5th floor for dinner. The first floor had a nice looking bar and a few booths. The restaurant is on six floors in the building. The fifth floor had a hostess and seated us immediately at a table by the window. We were brought water quickly and the server came by to greet us. We had already decided and got the ball rolling. I asked which was better between two items and she enthusiastically recommend the Asian Stir Fry. It was amazing! Flavorful and visually appealing! My friend had the lemon herb chicken and loved it. I also had the Pink Bachelorette cocktail and it was delightful. Vodka, watermelon mix, peach schnapps and sour mix served in a wine glass with a straw. Lindsey was our server and was fun and efficient. Great meal with great service! read more

After a very fun night in Nashville we stopped off at the diner for a cup of coffee and muffin to start the day and drive to Knoxville. The coffee line is just off to the side and quick and efficient for those looking for a quick grab and go option. The lattes were fantastic and the muffins was packed with flavor. Staff was super friendly and quick on it while also helping the counter sitters as well! read more

Great food! LARGE portions and servers are very hospitable. We're here for breakfast but I can tell it'd be pretty at night. Every table has a nice view! read more

Loved the location, view and service but the food was mediocre. It was right around the corner from the hotel we stayed at so it was perfect for us to be within walking distance. It was also pretty cool that there's different floors to eat on. We were on the 6th floor so the view was great. Our server was knowledgeable about Nashville so that was a great conversation with her. The food was mediocre - I had the avocado toast that did not have a lot of avocado but it was ok. I wanted an over easy egg but they only have scrambled eggs. My husband had scrambled eggs, potato's and bacon...again nothing special. Go for the view from the 6th floor! read more

All the food I tried was really good. The menu had a lot of options so if you are a picky eater they probably have something for you. They took our orders very quickly and food came out relatively quickly. The serving people were really nice. I would highly recommend this place because the food and service were really good and it wasn't super loud. They might have a band on one of the floors but not the one I was on. There are like 6 floors to the place so it is never super crowded, so if you need a break from the loud city this is a good place. The inside was also really nice and the bathroom didn't smell bad. (*･･)ﾉ 10/10 amazing read more

Stopped in for breakfast and had a really solid experience from start to finish. The eggs and waffle were prepared just right -- classic diner comfort food with a nice home-cooked feel. I added the sausage gravy over biscuits and honestly, it made the meal. But the real highlight? The hot chocolate. Hands down one of the best I've ever had -- creamy, perfectly sweet, and seriously memorable. If you're a hot chocolate fan, this alone is worth a visit. read more

The Diner in Nashville is a pretty unique spot since it is a six-story diner right on 3rd Street. We ended up being seated on the 5th floor, which gave us a really cool view of the street below. It was fun to watch all the life and activity from up there, though there is another building nearby, so your view might depend on exactly where your table is. As for the breakfast, it was solid for what you expect from a diner. We had the standard stuff like scrambled eggs, skillet potatoes, and biscuits. There was honestly nothing bad to say about the flavor of the food because everything tasted good and was well-prepared. My only real gripe was the size of the biscuits. They were basically silver dollar sized, and you only get three in an order. It was hardly enough to really sit back and enjoy them, which was a bummer. But again, the flavor was good across the board, so the rest of the meal kind of made up for where the biscuit portions fell short. The staff were also incredibly nice and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Another cool thing is that they have an in-house coffee shop on the first floor. It is worth stopping by there after your meal to grab some of their seasonal drinks or a coffee for the road. Overall, it is a neat place to check out if you are in the area. read more

The Diner - 5th floor view, eggs, potatoes, and biscuit - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Food: 4.5. Had the classic diner breakfast and it was really good! The eggs were perfectly cooked and the home fries were too. The coffee was a bit average but fine. Ambiance: 4.5. Multiple floors with seating facing the street and interior counter seating. TVs showing the latest games. We opted for both, street watching is very entertaining. The bathrooms were very clean with fully private stalls and the game blasting over speakers. Service: 4.0. Reasonably attentive, answering questions efficiently, nothing bad nor over the top. I do love diner food and would recommend to give this unique experience a try! read more

The Diner - Classic diner breakfast - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We had a great breakfast here! It was a Saturday morning and lines were wrapped around the corners of a lot of local breakfast joints, so we went online and found that this one had available reservations, so we took it. They have six floors of space. Impressive! When they told us to take the elevator up, we couldn't believe it. Great views, awesome server, and really good breakfast food. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, waffle - everything was delicious. Even the fresh squeezed tasting juice. Would definitely recommend! Edit: we came back the same day for a late night meal. Chicken stir fry and egg rolls were delicious and just what we needed after a night of bar hopping! read more

This place caught our eye with their captivating multi level restaurant. We stopped in for breakfast at the first level bar and had good service from the bartender. I ordered an espresso martini and enjoyed it! Our food was very mid. No flavor, but fine for an easy breakfast. Wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a tasty breakfast. Would be interested in visiting the additional levels as it looks like there is varying menus on different levels! read more

Stopped to eat just because of the location and the looks of the place. 6 floors for a diner. Started with deviled eggs, they were good. My wife had a burger and I had the chicken sandwich both met our expectations, cooked just right and served hot read more

I've been here several times and the food always hits. It's cozy and consistent and the hours make this a place somewhere I keep coming back too. I've had the pot roast, shrimp boil, salmon, shrimp tempera roll and everything is great. Even if the kitchen is held up, the service is top notch and the staff will make sure you are taken care of. If you need a place to grab a bit, make the short walk to this place. It's worth it read more

The Diner - Don't get the avocado toast, not fresh avocados. Probably a package spread. - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A good place for a quick bite while in Nashville. Multiple floors, various cuisines including oysters and sushi! This is in addition to your local fried chicken and waffles! Very casual, you can come in shorts if you like or as you ate if you're just coming back from a full night on broadway . Service is relatively fast except if you're a big group like more than 6 (which we were). Otherwise, worth a try while you're in Nashville! read more

The Diner - Scramble with Bacon and Sourdough toast - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We loved this place, and it was a local who told us about it. We were on the 6th floor overlooking the city, and really enjoyed our Cheeseburger w. Gruyere cheese and fries. It was late and the burger was thick and made just like I asked for "rare" and the fries had the ridges in it, and were excellent. Highly recommend this place, and you won't get taken to the cleaners, their prices are fair, the food is excellent, great server we had and the view of the city was incredible! Next time in downtown Nashville, I'll be going back, probably for their sushi bar. read more

Came here on a whim looking for some food before a concert, ended up being a new go to before events in the area! It was me and my dad, and we were immediately greeted and asked where we wanted to sit. Top floor, of course, and it was magnificent to see the skyline. We were on a time crunch, so we placed an order quickly once we sat down, and the waitress was an absolute sweetheart. The menu had some delectable looking options, and we both got the chicken wrap, mine with no tomatoes, and it was out insanely fast. One bite in, and I was in heaven. Perfectly crispy chicken, a soft, decadent tortilla, and a flawless ratio of sauce to toppings. The fries? No notes; exceptional. We were in and out within 30 minutes, and arrived at the concert venue with plenty of time to spare. Great prices, even better staff, and even better food. Definitely worth it if you're nearby! read more

The Diner - Chicken and waffles. - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This spot was okay overall, but nothing that really wowed me. I didn't care for the lemonade -- it tasted a bit off to me. If you don't have a reservation, be prepared to sit on the 6th floor, which isn't necessarily bad, but it's not the most lively area. The countertop at our seating was sticky, which didn't make the best impression. On the plus side, the eggs were actually pretty good- that was the best thing about the menu. The deviled eggs- marvelous! Please review the menu hours before going too. read more

The Diner - Nashville brunch - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Our experience was just A-OK. My husband and I needed a quick breakfast before leaving Nashville. Many restaurants we wanted to try had long lines, but we noticed that The Diner did not. We walked in and were directed to the sixth floor for additional seating. The sixth floor is open-air, offering a fantastic view! Most tables were occupied, so we settled into a couple of seats at the bar. There was only one bartender on duty. Although she was friendly, she seemed a bit overwhelmed. We later learned that she was filling in for the original bartender who had called out. We ordered the following dishes from her: California breakfast sandwich: $15 Shrimp and grits: $26 The California breakfast sandwich featured grilled tomato, avocado, gruyere cheese, bacon, and egg on sourdough, accompanied by a side of homestyle potatoes. The shrimp and grits came with spicy jumbo shrimp topped with BBQ butter sauce, served over smoked gouda grits. Both dishes were decent, but neither was particularly remarkable or disappointing. We also ordered coffee alongside our meals. The bartender brought me a cup and informed my husband that a fresh pot was brewing and would be available shortly. Unfortunately, my coffee was cold, so I requested a cup from the fresh batch. By the time we finished our meals, the fresh pot was still not ready, so we decided to cancel the coffees. Though it wasn't her fault, the bartender did apologize. She did best that she could. On our way out, we grabbed lattes from the cafe on the first floor, which were also just average. If you're seeking brunch with a lovely view and no wait, The Diner might be a good option. read more

For a conference, we went out to have dinner. I ordered the Caesar salad, and my colleagues had the gumbo. The salad was good, but the chicken was a little small. I had a Lemon Drop Martini, and the service was good. However, since the restaurant has multiple levels, the hostess on the bottom floor could give better seating directions. She told us to go to the top floor, where there were no tables, and the bartender then directed us back down to the 3rd floor. read more

Zero stars. Garbage food and people. My first bad review ever. Get a hot dog instead.

Typical breakfast fare with a great view of the skyline. They sat us on the 5th floor, which I appreciated for the views. Service was quick and friendly.

The Diner - California Breakfast Sandwich - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Nice ambiance, good service and food was pretty good. Some things fell a little short and were priced pretty high. We tried the Southwest egg rolls, the gumbo, boom boom shrimp and shrimp and grits. All the appetizers were good bar food and the shrimp and grits sauce was really good, came with 7 shrimp which unfortunately were overcooked. All in all not a bad lunch drop in just a bit pricey. read more

My 1st time here and I was not happy that they were out of a few things... the chicken Parmesan was good and the chicken and waffles was good. I do recommend the Bloody Mary and the cheeses steak sandwich. Service was fine and it was lit very well. The red chandeliers are a nice touch. read more

This restaurant is not worth even thinking about. We came here because every other place was packed on a Saturday morning. Not only did the waitress take over 10 minutes to greet our table, but the order was incorrect and HORRIBLE food. We order Biscuits and Gravy, eggs, and waffles. The biscuits were TINY and HOCKEY PUCKS! The Waffle was chewy and tasted like chemicals. It was such a horrific experience that I not only was contemplating leaving but had to leave a review. To top all of this for 4 plates and non alcoholic drinks we did not order, it was OVER $100! DO NOT GO! read more

The Philly cheesesteak - 5 stars. The beer cheese was delicious, I wish there was more. Service- 5 stars It's a greasy spoon. Great spot for a 2am food run read more

We were immediately greeted upon arrival! The service was great. We are a group of 28. The waitstaff was great! I had the Nashville Hot chicken and waffles. Please please please serve hot maple syrup with this dish. The cold maple syrup literally kills this dish. It has potential, but the cold maple syrup ruins this dish. Also, don't forget the butter! We're in the south, so warm butter would've been a nice touch as well. The smashed potatoes are nice and lumpy. The green beans are ok. The presentation was perfect (see pictures). read more

My FAVORITE place to eat in Nashville. The breakfast here is absolutely phenomenal. The menu is pretty small though so I'd recommend to look up the menu before arrival. The bar is great as well they offer many kinds of cocktails and mocktails. It isn't a "typical diner." They have a 4th & 6th floor the offers views of Nashville and seems way fancier then a diner. The first floor is "diner-like" and is very good as well. They have all different kinds of vibes. The service is great and the staff is very friendly. They even gave us directions and recommendations on things to do in Nashville. read more

I absolutely love this place. Took my wife, sister and brother in law there when my sister and her husband were visiting. We all had outstanding meals and service. My sister loved the fact that you can have basically anything you want for breakfast along with an old fashion. The restaurant is beautiful and clean. I don't go to Nashville often, but I will always stop there when I do. Treat yourself and get a great meal at The Diner! read more

We have eaten at The Diner in previous years and its been just okay, so we tried to give it another chance. The service was just okay nothing great and our food was tolerable at best. I had the panko coated shrimp with a sweet chili sauce coating. The shrimp was soaked in the chili sauce and was overwhelming. The portion was a good size which was a plus. The grits were probably the best part of my meal. There was plenty and they were tasty. The best part of the diner was the view and location. We had a window seat and had a great view of Nashville. Unfortunately, after trying The Diner a few times when in Nashville, I just do not feel it is the place for us. read more

Found this hidden gem on our way home from the downtown nightlife lWe were asked how many in our party ( 2 ) and were directed to take the elevator to the 6th floor rooftop. I wasn't overly impressed by the view. It was literally tops of the adjoining buildings. No real view at that angle, I think the ground floor view would have been better for us to see the Nashville nightlife. The waiter was very friendly. Food seemed reasonably priced for the downtown area. Chicken wings Cheeseburger and so far best fries in Nashville. Looking forward to going back next time I'm in Nashville. read more
