Loveless Cafe was a nice drive for us out of the city but oh so, so good. As we pulled up we knew we had picked a winner. People standing/waiting everywhere. We got our name on the list to be called and spent our free time shopping through the various shops surrounding the restaurant. There were 6 in our party... More

We drove quite a ways to eat at the Loveless Cafe and the food was delicious. Luckily there was no wait (apparently that is quite unusual due to its popularity) but we went on a Tuesday mid afternoon and walked right in. The fried chicken was delicious, as were the biscuits, but they are not America's Best in my opinion.... More

It is worth the small detour over to HWY 100. We were there during Peak lunch rush on a Friday and had a good hour long wait, but none of use regretted it. The kids store had a section set out where the kids could color and get a prize, so this helped pass the time. The food was wonderful.... More

This cafe is a bustling, Southern-style eating establishment that is more of a compound, with a country store, bakery, and even a large space for parties and receptions. It is PACKED most of the time, especially on weekends. Although reservations are not taken, patrons may call and get their names on the waiting list prior to arrival, which will cut... More

Unless it's on your way....don't bother. The biscuits are good......Forget biscuits and gravy..definitely a package mix and water. I ordered sausage and it tasted like a veggie burger. The bacon is good. The staff was very friendly as they are in the south.

Wow. Wow. Wow. This was one of the highlights of my vacation! The food was absolutely incredible! From the biscuits and jam to my perfectly prepared omelet it was pure heaven! I never order omelets either because I always find they are too dry, but this was not the case! We also enjoyed the cute little shops surrounding the restaurant... More

This Cafe is great, esp. for tourists. The wait was 40 minutes, but they have a complex with several building and well kept lands to keep you busy. Cool handheld buzzers work on all of the property. We visited the gift stores, played in the grasses, took pictures and then ate a hearty and homemade breakfast. Great mix of items.... More

This was recommended as a do not miss on our recent drive through Nashville. It definitely lived up to the glowing recommendation. We did have to wait about thirty minutes to be seated but it was worth it. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, and the price was very reasonable. Check out the cute shops while you are...

Not sure loveless cafe lives up to the hype. Food was good, but not exceptional. Not worth the long wait for a table. Service was great, friendly and helpful staff. Overall place seemed like a tourist trap.

We had a party of 20 tonight and it was amazing. Jess and Seth were awesome taking care of us all with big smiles and quick service. The food was great but the service was even better.
