A Nashville Favorite – Midtown Café Midtown Café was an absolute highlight of our trip to Nashville. This traditional restaurant offers a fantastic variety of dishes, including a generous selection of vegetarian options. Every meal we had was fresh, flavorful, and well presented. We enjoyed it so much, we went back three times during our short stay—which says a lot! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with attentive service that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're stopping in for brunch, lunch, or dinner, Midtown Café delivers consistently excellent food and a relaxed traditional dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality traditional cuisine. It’s a true gem of Nashville. Stopped here for lunch based on a recommendation from a local. I was not disappointed. The staff was really freindly and genuinely looked happy to be working here. The whole place was very welcoming. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich and it was amazing. the chicken was perfectly spicy, it was served on really thick toast that was cooked perfectly. The ranch they served with it was really good. along with a generous serving of fries. Next time, i want to try the reuben! Glad our hotel bartender recommended we stop in for brunch as this is definitely a cool old local hangout. Love that they haven’t the tucked aside little bar for a variety of seating, and enjoyed the intimate and vibrant brunch crowd on game day. Meals were all tasty and appreciated that they split our omelette dish for us. The grits were out of site by the way. Get n if u can while in town and go w friends…have a bloody, and get ur day going right! PS - the little house biscuits were a welcome addition.

As advertised, completely outstanding. Make sure you get a reservation no matter when you go, they are packed and for good reason!! So good, great portion sizes, the right level of attentiveness from the servers - just outstanding all the way around. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Nashville.

We Had the best dinner ever! Started the night with shrimp and grits, followed by soup of the day, prime pork chop, finishing with homemade banana cheesecake! We didn’t get the lady’s name but her service was fantastic!
