Located about 30 minutes outside of downtown Nashville, The Loveless Café is a famous southern-style restaurant that was previously a local motel from the 1950s. In 2004, local Nashville natives bought the property and renovated it to what we know and love today: The Loveless Café.
The Loveless Café has won plenty of awards and received national recognition. From being featured on Late Night with Conan O’Brien to NBC’s Today Show and Ellen, The Loveless Café was named the “Best Country Restaurant in America” by ABC in 1993. Additionally, the Food Network named the famous Loveless biscuits “The Best Biscuits” in 2010.
So now that your mouth is watering, you are probably wondering what do I order? Well first off, you need to order the biscuits. This is what Loveless is famous for, of course! Additionally, they are known for their country ham, red-eye gravy, and fried chicken. The best part is Loveless serves a full breakfast all day, every day, and the supper menu is served from 11:00am-closing daily.
For all the foodies, this is a must-do on your next trip to Nashville, but be prepared to wait. I waited over an hour for a table on my visit, but it was well worth it. Thankfully, the Loveless Café has established themselves as almost an entire experience rather than a restaurant. With cornhole games set up along the property and a few local shops, you can play games and buy biscuit mix and souvenirs to take home to help pass the time.
Now, if you can’t get out to Nashville soon, be sure to check out The Loveless Café online to get recipes to try out at home. Unfortunately, the biscuit recipe is closely guarded, so you’ll have to make the trip out to really get the full Loveless experience.
