About Us
The Loveless Cafe has been a Nashville tradition since 1951, earning a reputation for traditional Southern cooking and unmatched hospitality.
Our story began 75 years ago, when Lon and Annie Loveless opened the front door of their home to serve fried chicken and biscuits to hungry travelers along Highway 100. Now a landmark well known across the nation, Annie’s original recipes and our famous made-from-scratch menu have been loved by folks like Martha Stewart, People Magazine, Southern Living, Food & Wine, Oprah Daily, and countless guests who return year after year. Come on down South and see for yourself! We’ll save y’all a seat.
