    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!

    Don't get the avocado toast, not fresh avocados. Probably a package spread.

    Stopped in for the view, and that was the only thing that was worthy the avocado toast was mediocre at Best should've checked out Yelp before coming

    Classic diner breakfast
    Amy S.

    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!

    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!

    Espresso Martini
    Lucy N.

    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!

    Waffle sliders with a side of watermelon

    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!

    6th floor oyster bar
    Alexa G.

    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

    Fried chicken!
    Ariel L.

    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!

    Scramble with Bacon and Sourdough toast
    Michael F.

    Amy our server was great. My scramble was good. The bacon was perfect and warm sourdough toast was good. The potatoes were hot but would have liked for them to be seasoned. Good breakfast. Great staff. I should add. They play great music! Classic rock thank you!

    Top floor
    Stella K.

    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!

    Chicken and waffles.
    Bryan M.

    Nice place multistory restaurant plenty of seating diner style. Service was fine. The chicken and waffles.... Boring. Bland. Scramble eggs were like airplane food. Sorry not great.

    Great food ! The cheeseburger and fries were very tasty ! Open very late , good service! Yummy desserts! Fun multi level restaurant.

    Nashville  brunch
    Alanna L.

    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.

The Arnold's put so much love and care into their place, you can't help but feel like one of them. I brought my mom, dad, aunt, and uncle here. My dad loves grouper and when I saw fried grouper on the menu I knew he had to try it. Only problem was they served it on Tuesday and he wouldn't get in until Thursday. Cut to my insane ass showing up and asking them if they could please serve it on that specific Thursday because my dad wanted to try it but he wouldn't get in on time and I wanted to make his trip special because I am truly a daddy's girl and he's my fav bestie right now. Yes I rambled all of that at them in one breath, I am a a talkative lil broad. They not only made my crazy special day fried grouper happen, but made a special point of dropping by the table to welcome my family to Nashville and extend well wishes on us. Okay so now that I've established that the Arnold's are such warm and loving people I can talk about the food. Oh my god the food. I got the roast beef, which is basically prime rib and can be drowned in au jus that I would drink straight from a cup, it's a divine nectar of the gods. We got almost every single side and loved every single side. I'm obsessed with fried green tomatoes so those were my star side, but my mother loved the greens and my dad loved the corn. Do not miss the bread pudding it is like a hug from your tastebuds to your brain. If you're like oh I don't like bread pudding I don't care shut up and order it it's that good it will convert you. I love you guys. I appreciate y'all so much. I'll see you soon I need more bread pudding. I was trying to be a skinny bitch to bamboozle a man to fall in love with me but unfortunately I'm about to have a bread pudding summer so that will not be happening and I am a okay with that because that bread pudding loves and treats me better more than any man ever could.

Such a classic comfort food spot with a super friendly server and an easy setup where you get in line, grab your food, then find a table. The fried fish was honestly the star. Perfectly crispy on the outside while still soft and flaky inside. So satisfying. The fried pork chop was a little dry for my taste, but all the sides were delicious and made up for it. The mac and cheese especially was sooo good. Overall, really comforting Southern food with a welcoming atmosphere and definitely worth trying if you want a more authentic Nashville experience.

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. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. 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!

This historic building itself feels like a shotgun (long and narrow) and apparently once served as a Civil War warehouse and later the Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Company.
