Good Southern breakfast

Went here on recommendation from friends. It’s about 30 minutes drive from Nashville. Great biscuits and homemade preserves. Their cheese grits were also really yummy (disclaimer: I’m not a Southerner). Husband loved their chicken fried steak, daughter got their breakfast bowl with bacon, which was...More

Totally overrated

We were going to ride the Natchez Trace, on a motorcycle, and what better way to start then here? Well I would say don’t bother. We went for breakfast and I ordered the half order of ham and eggs, because based on prior experience a...More

First time, but won’t be the last!

Great family experience! The biscuits are as good as advertised. Try the fried green tomato and pimiento cheese biscuit—delicious. The special cheesy garlic mashed potatoes were our favorite side dish. Harvest Moon drink was good and peachy, and the steeplechase pie was a boozier version...More

Disappointed and not impressed with the hype.

Made dinner reservations early (4:30pm) on this specific day for their "weekly supper special" only to be informed they were sold out already. Then, at the end of the meal, we were told they were sold out of their signature dessert. It wasn't even 5:15pm...More

Never Disappoints!

The Loveless never disappoints! We arrived on a Saturday around 11:00 a.m. and were advised there was a 45 minute to 1 hour wait. No surprise they are always busy especially on weekends. Grabbed drinks from the outdoor bar and settled in for wait. Quick...More

Great food!!

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and took time to talk with you (if you initiated it, they were not bothersome!). Great food and large portions. They are known for their fried chicken and it did not dissapoint! Great place to visit!
