Nashville is a touristy town full of restaurants that get more hype than they deserve. But thankfully, there are places like 417 Union that focus on food and service, and don’t need a gimmick to stand out. This is a restaurant that knows what it is, a place that is supposed to serve good food. And it does the job well with classic breakfast staples. We both ordered the pancake platter and in a flash the food was there with barely any wait at all. And not only was it fast, but also fresh. Eggs cooked well, sausage hot and fresh, potatoes crispy and the pancakes were really good. In all honesty, the pancakes here were better than other places in town that are supposed to specialize in pancakes. All in all, it’s a solid spot that I’d gladly go to again for a hearty breakfast. My husband and I loved this history themed restaurant. We were visiting from Florida and went for brunch on an early Thursday morning. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. The food was delicious and classic American brunch fare. Our waitress was kind and gave me a small chocolate drink with sprinkles as she saw from my ID that it was recently my birthday. The "powder room" was clean and also in line with the theme. If you're looking for a delicious meal and a unique themed location, look no further than here. A hidden gem! Wow, absolutely amazing breakfast choices. Ham was so tasty, not salty and fried pork chop, “yum”!! Fruit so fresh and ja for biscuits is homemade. It’s been here for 20 years. Not sure how we missed it.

Nashville has some really amazing breakfast spots and this one is one of my favorites. The food is always great and the staff is always amazing. Gotta arrive early because like all the great spots this place can have long wait times. Especially on weekends.

If you are in Nashville Midtown, this place deserves a shot. A place that has an old time house feel gives their take on southern charm and food. The food and service were great. I had there loaded breakfast potatoes and the breakfast quesadilla. Wife had the pancake plate with blueberries added. We started with the buttermilk biscuits. Very good….lite and fluffy. Overall flavor was there. I would like to try the classic breakfast food next time.
