The Loveless Cafe

The Legendary Loveless Cafe is a restaurant on Highway 100 in Nashville, Tennessee. It is world famous for its Southern cooking, especially its biscuits, fruit preserves, country ham and red-eye gravy.

It opened in 1951 as a hotel and originally served only chicken at picnic tables on their front porch. But eventually the owners converted rooms in the hotel dining rooms to accommodate a bigger menu and a need for more dining space.

The establishment has received acclaim from a number of prominent national publications and has appeared on on several television programs such as Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Martha, NBC’s Today Show, Throwdown! with Bobby Flay, CBS’s The Early Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Examples of recognition for the Loveless Cafe by national publications include:

• USA Today: The newspaper suggested that the “miraculously flaky and feathery biscuits” from Loveless Cafe, were “Nashville’s second-most-important contribution to American culture.”
• People Magazine: The magazine declared the Loveless Country Ham “the best in America.”
• Bon Appetit: Jefferson Morgan wrote that “On a scale of 1 to 10, my breakfast came in at about a 14.”
• Southern Living: Told readers that the, “biscuits and gravy are good enough to sing about.”
