    Our server Virginia was bubbly, out-going and very knowledgeable of what the restaurant has to offer. She dealt with my husbands corny jokes and kept our table filled with fresh biscuits. The food was absolutely a southern delight. Will definitely be back!

    The fried chicken dinner was horrible the chicken was so dried out and/or over cooked. It looked/tasted like it was left over from the lunch service.

    This was our first stop for supper upon arriving in Nashville. Last time we were here we didn’t have time to drive out from downtown so this time we stopped on our way to our hotel! As every review says the Biscuits…..are delicious! They came out right away and were served with homemade strawberry and peach preserves. Both were so yummy. My daughter got the chicken salad sandwich. It was served on perfectly toasted Texas toast and she devoured it. It came with fries which were just ok. I’d suggest opting for another side. I got the pulled pork with a side of the green beans and has brown casserole. All was tasty but I personally didn’t love the hash brown casserole. It had a tang to the flavor and the texture was a little more mushy than I thought. The pulled pork was really good though. Our service was great and so friendly.

    Went on a Friday night. Was looking for fish. Server never mentioned that they had fish or was it noted on the menu in the restaurant (OpenTable had it on menu). Service was terribly slow. Had to ask multiple times for drinks to be filled just once. There was a problem with the fish one of our party ordered due to a fryer. They held our whole order for the fish to be done which took quite a bit of time and had our food sitting. All in all, it was good except for the service. But it did not live up to the reputation that it has.

    Lived in Nashville 40 years and have been meaning to go to Loveless Cafe for a while. We were seated 5 or so minutes after our reservation time. Food was good, services was good, but it's a little pricy. $12 for two scrambled eggs and sausage is a little much. But I guess everything costs more these days. Glad we went, but it's an hour drive for us so it'll be a while before we think about going back.

    I’ve dined at Loveless many times. Worst experience ever. Mashed potatoes were like paste and full of dried skins. Gravy had so much salt you couldn’t eat it. Ordered the biscuit sampler and the country ham tasted as if it came straight out of the fridge as it was ice cold. Chicken had a great flavor, but cold also. Waitress was extremely nice and apologetic.
