The Diner

My FAVORITE place to eat in Nashville. The breakfast here is absolutely phenomenal. The menu is pretty small though so I'd recommend to look up the menu before arrival.The bar is great as well they offer many kinds of cocktails and mocktails.It isn't a "typical diner." They have a 4th & 6th floor the offers views of Nashville and seems way fancier then a diner. The first floor is "diner-like" and is very good as well. They have all different kinds of vibes.The service is great and the staff is very friendly. They even gave us directions and recommendations on things to do in Nashville.

I wanted something simple. I was in town for a work event, and the food they served us at the venue was spicy and I have recently been having some trouble with spicy foods. So, I set off and decided to give this place a try. The menu said there was chicken strips with fries, and that sounded simple enough for my needs.My food arrived startlingly quickly, and was just as startlingly not very warm. Kind of suspicious. Microwaved? Not sure, it didn't taste microwaved. But no way it was fried freshly that quickly. It's dark in here. Really dark. Almost too dark to see the ants crawling across the table top in front of my food. The food wasn't bad, but it was not what I was expecting for a grand total of $19.58 with a drink. And the ants coupled with the dim conditions were a turnoff.

Great up stairs bar area, with open windows overlooking the city. Food ...not bad but nothing I couldn't cook (I did have the breakfast scramble so not a complicated dish). The service, could use a little improvement. Was greeted my an unenthusiastic hostess and send to second floor (1st floor was busy) with about 3 other customers. Was told to sit anywhere, (again not greeted with any sort of enthusiasm). What happened to southern charm and hospitality?I choose a table in the corner by a TV to watch the morning news and got a "look" as if I was taking up too much space however there were probably about 60 other seats available. 2 out if the 3 waitress seem to be rushing me along where as the other, she seemed to want to be helpful and did check in on me. There was a restaurant down the road called the Pancake Pantry that had a line down the block for people wanting to eat there. I'll be checking that place out next!!

This place was not a bad option for a quick dinner. There are 5 stories so it's easy to get in without a long wait and a decent size menu for diner food. Not many vegetarian items but was easily customizable with what they did have.

It's five floors and has an elevator... super kewl. I had some of the best shrimp and grits I've had in years at this spot. Salad was fresh and well presented. Service was great. If I come back here, I'm getting the shrimp and grits again!

Stopped here for brunch. You walk in and a hostess will let you know what floor to head up to. From there you go to the elevator and arrive on your floor. Another hostess will greet you and you'll be seated. On the 6th floor you sit at the bar unless you have a large party. We had exceptional service. Got water and coffees right away. Our server had a great sense of humour and was nice to chat with. We all loved our food. And shared a few bites. The menu is not huge but has enough and it's all made well. It's very clean and well kept. The view from the windows is gorgeous. The coffee was also good. Belgian waffle was incredible. Biscuits and gravy were amazing. The biscuits were cooked perfectly. The breakfast scrambler was also on point. We even came back here a few days later on floor 4 for lunch and again the food was great!!! Some of the best service we had.

We visited the diner in October. The weather was pleasant enough for the restaurant to have their window open to the outside. On the 5th floor, we could see and hear the activity on the street--including an endless parade of party busses and pedal trollies loaded with exuberant patrons.Our server was very attentive. The service made the restaurant seem more upscale than the typical tourist trap. The food was decent. Definitely what you'd expect from a diner.

We sat on 6th floor. Great service. Good food and enjoyed the breeze and views!! 6th floor is bar seating!

Harold was an amazing server!! We had the best experience and would recommend to any travelers.

We visited downtown Nashville this past weekend and late night dined on the 4th Floor. Granted that it was very crowded and busy out on the street but not in the restaurant itself - moderate amount of diners. A biggie -the restaurant could use a good, DEEP cleaning. Our Server Savannah was nice - the restaurant A/C was extremely cold and she accommodated us and other freezing diners by opening the window or it would have been way to cold to relax and enjoy our meal. Thank you. Our food was "ok" - nothing spectacular. Gumbo was WAY too salty - way! The Chicken wrap and fries were average at the best. 1 glass of House White Chardonnay was a whopping $12.00 - yikes! Not worth it! Gulp.
