Perfect little breakfast spot! A few blocks from Renaissance. Fast, efficient service, good food. Went a little off the menu and had two scrambled eggs, fruit, and biscuit. My brother had a huge Denver omelette and fruit. That's just what we needed from recovering from a big weekend in Nashville.

Good service. Felt a bit rushed to order, but overall happy with my food. I didn't like the eggs at all, not much of an egg person anyways but the texture felt like it wasn't cooked right. The place is nice and cozy, music level was appropriate. The biscuits are the best! Prefers cash payment over cc transactions.

My friend who is a Nashville resident had been wanting to come here for some time for breakfast, so we went on my last day in town. Overall, I really loved the decor and the atmosphere of this place. The old wartime photos and posters added to the buildings aesthetic. We waited about 1 hour and once seated, we probably waited about 20 min in total to get our orders taken. The waitress did forget my coffee a few times but ended up taking it off of my bill as an apology for making us wait so long. The food (I got one of the breakfast platters) was delicious, however the ham was incredibly salty. I couldn't tell if it was just my palette or if it really was super salty but there was enough food that I didn't even really need the ham. I'd definitely recommend going here and trying the food if you have time to wait

This is the kind of breakfast place I wish I had near my home. Delicious. Homemade everything- biscuits to jam. I had a breakfast sandwich with home fries . Home fries were delicious and had grilled onions with them. Biscuits were soft and just out of the oven. Service was prompt and friendly. Coffee kept flowing throughout breakfast so I was super happy. Get here early or expect a little wait for a table. Nice benches outside if you do need to wait a bit.

I have been trying for so long to come and get a taste of 417. I finally did just that! Do recommend getting there rather early for the sake of the wait time. They DO NOT accept reservations. We went around 9:50am on a Sunday and had to wait for 20 minutes to be seated. As the morning went on wait times were a little longer. Prepare accordingly. Service is prompt and food came out fresh!! We ordered.. Crispy chicken pancake combo 5/5 Pancake combo 5/5 Banana Foster 5/5 Bloody Mary 3/5- they over did it on the amount of pepper in it. Pancakes are super fluffy and a decent size. You'll most likely have leftovers. Their portion sizes are decent and enough for prob two if you don't have a big appetite. Food was amazing! I'm not sure you could go wrong with anything on this menu. I will be back to try the breakfast quesadillas and fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade.

Found this place across from our hotel for brunch, and the atmosphere and food and drinks were the best!! We sat at the bar, and the service was excellent!! Morgan, our bartender, was the best!! So sweet and made the best drinks. We had Tito's with OJ and cranberry juice. They are also voted the best, bloody Mary! It was awesome!! The food was so good! We ordered the big country breakfast and split it. It was perfect! 3 eggs, 2 biscuits, sausage, ham, bacon, and homestyle potatoes!! The homemade jam was to die for!! The gravy was good, too! The restaurant is so cool, the decor and location are awesome! All the staff are friendly and welcoming!!
