Nashville General Store

EXACTLY the type of breakfast I want when on the road. Me, my wife, and our dog stopped by this place at 9 AM—right when they opened—for a bite to eat before embarking on a hike (we sat outside at one of the tables). I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on a biscuit. Everything about this sandwich was perfect; the bacon was crispy and thick with a hint of smokiness to it, the biscuit was soft and buttery, the cheese was properly melted, and the fried egg was the right amount of fluffiness. I really appreciate unpretentious breakfast that doesn’t try to combine 17 flavors when these four are all you need. Its simplicity and focus on the quality of each component make for an excellent sandwich. We also got an order of delicious cinnamon donuts balls that came with an apple butter spread. Absolutely get those if you have a couple people in your party and like sweet pastries. After breakfast, I went inside and poked around the shop for a few minutes to check it out. If you’re into Americana and themed antiques, you’ll probably find something to love in the store. If nothing else, a quick spin around the shop makes for a hearty feast for the eyes.

The food was pretty good, and the atmosphere was nice. Being my first time it was a little strange that the food and drinks come out at the same time, but it works. The music was cracking me up honestly. If you want to be served, go elsewhere. The wait for the food was probably 10-15 minutes on a Saturday but they were pretty busy for what I would consider to be the off season. Two more small gripes: 1. The coffee was terrible. (Basically brown water) and 2. They serve everything on styrofoam. It’s a bummer. Plates or at minimum paper plates would be much better.

Best meal we had on the whole trip! We all got breakfast. Pancakes, sausage gravy with biscuits, French toast, sausage patties, and bacon. Nothing disappointed, but the people who got bacon all wished they'd gotten the sausage. Counter service, with servers who deliver to the table. Disposable plates, flatware, cups etc. Great value for the prices. Tons of crafts and artisan goods to look at while you wait, too.

Real food from scratch is the best food we've grown up with. No shortcuts! Great environment along with great personalities. The food is just as expected - excellent! We ordered a peanut butter pie (must be peanut butter lover) and it's a 4.5 star - the texture rich & creamy, made with chocolate crust and drizzled with nuts. The whipped topping (loss .5 star) was gross (looks pretty) but was dry. Should be applied after pie is served. The biscuit and gravy is "okay" it's got to much of a floury taste. Can't put my finger on it - it does taste better with toast rather than the biscuit. So eliminate the biscuit and the gravy is good. It's not your moms... The sausage was not just a patty but was a hefty portion with great flavor need a knife and fork to cut. The scrambled eggs were not as awesome as I was expecting but it's scrambled eggs how much could you expect without any toppings within. The apple butter is out of this world (10 star)! The chocolate milk is made with (I believe) Hershey's Syrup. It's okay but not as good as you'd hope. Orange juice is pulp free. I had breakfast but I'll try lunch hopefully later today. Overall I loved it! Even though it sounded negative, give them a try.

Staff was very friendly and super nice. the breakfast was very good. I recommend the French toast. Good place to get honey. No bathroom here but the public restroom is close by so no worries. Look around at all the home decor and artwork while you wait for food! When were there it was by far one of the coziest places we ate.
