The wait time was about an hour, but the food made up for the long wait . I had the fiesta omelet and grits. The vegetable was cook list right and the egg was fluffy. My family had the French toast is was superb. The ambience was sweet. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Arrive early or you will wait but it's worth it. Potatoes are amazing. A must stop when you are in Nashville TN.

This was a nice little breakfast/brunch location. It's a nice size no too big and not too small and the decor is very welcoming. I tried this place when I was in Nashville for the weekend. I had the Germantown with the potatoes and a couple of mimosas. The good was great!!! I would definitely love to go back again. My fiancÃ© had the blackened fish and grits. It was pretty tasty too, but the highlight of the entire visit where the banana foster pancakes . The butter creme sauce with the bananas and walnuts topped off with a little whipped cream was perfection.

Great spot. Healthy offerings. Staff very friendly. Only feedback was the food delivery was disjointed. ..I received my meal in phases instead all together but overall still enjoyed the place. Oh...they don't serve pork products so if you want real bacon you'll have to go elsewhere.

My wife and I stopped in for brunch today and were met by the most gracious, friendliest husband and wife restaurant owners. We sat at the small bar and enjoyed a mimosa and Bloody Mary. Our server, Malcolm, was extremely friendly and very helpful. Like other reviewers, I have to say that the banana foster pancakes were incredible. My wife told me that they were the the most amazing pancakes she had ever eaten (after sampling them from MY plate!). She had a fiesta omelette and she loved it. Truly amazing food and a very cool vibe. What we both loved the most is that this is a family business with GREAT people. I didn't catch their names - but ask the gentleman the story about the history of his building! We'll be back, next time with more friends.

First time here. We are from Chicago, and we love to travel and try food from family owned restaurants. Its always better. I found this restaurant on yelp. The reviews were very impressive. When we arrived We love to aesthetic. The host was a very nice young man. He gave us coffee while we were waiting for a table. After waiting an hour to be seated (which we expected). The service, as soon as we were seated was not what we were expecting. We waited about 17 minutes to order, another 32 minutes to receive our food (which was delicious), the server never came to ask us " How is everything?" and then roughly 15 minutes for our check ( after our plates were cleared from the table, from a bus boy) Overall the food was amazing. The service just needs to be on the same level. We felt ignored

This place is totally worth the wait! We got there around 10:30am on Sunday morning so it was crowded, but we're really glad we waited! The staff was beyond friendly, and really contributed to an enjoyable experience. Now the food...wow! My husband and I shared an order of the Banana Fosters Pancakes with eggs and turkey bacon, a small stack of the Pecan pancakes, and cheese grits. Don't judge us, we're on vacation and wanted to try it all! And no, we couldn't finish it all, but boy did we sure try! Every bite was scrumptious! I'm not one to write reviews on places often, but this was worthy of a 5-star review! It's a must for an off-the-beaten-path-while-in-Nashville!

When you're paying on average $40/couple for breakfast, you expect more. I have been here 3 times and this Sunday was the final strike. 1st visit. After waiting on the list for 1hr 07min with several open tables my party of 3 along with about 20 other customers we basically asked to leave. Due to the staffing situation in the kitchen, we couldn't be accommodated for another hr or two. 2nd trip. Arrived @ 12:15ish on a Sunday. Was seated around 1:30. After 3 attempts to order we were made aware they were "fresh out" of almost half the menu. Only meat left was eggs and turkey bacon. 3rd trip. Arrived Sunday around 11am. Seated around 12. Several open tables the entire wait. Instead of seating u at a table they allow u to crowd in the door or cram onto a small porch to allow the poorly managed kitchen time to catch up on orders. We ordered the Germantown and bananas foster. After waiting over 30min for our food we noticed the table next to us received our exact order. Problem was we ordered 10 min before they were seated. In a nut shell signature dishes are very good but over priced. Service, location/space, management are all horrible. For the price, you can have a much better experience at several other places.

Absolutely enjoyed myself. The fruit tea was amazing. I had the French Toast with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. My husband had the meat omelet (turkey ham, turkey sausage and turkey bacon). So delicious. Jennifer was such a gracious host, checking in on us several times throughout the meal. We went on a Saturday at 1 and waited for about 15 minutes. We will definitely be returning. The live jazz band made the atmosphere even better.

I never actually got to eat here. We showed up and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. After 40 minutes I went in to follow up and was told it would be just a bit, then after 50 minutes I had to follow up, and then after 60 and finally after 70 minutes of waiting. The staff never came out and let us know what was going on. Every time we had to go in and see for ourselves. I really wanted to like this place. We even offered to be served on the patio, because our friends had a flight to catch, but they wouldn't do it. Make a reservation or eat before you go.

We had breakfast here one morning of our Nashville vacation. We were there about ten minutes before they opened, and others were also arriving to start lining up. We waiting about 5 minutes once they opened, and were seated. The place is really tastefully decorated and fun to look around. The menu was very nicely put together with a lot of options. My husband had the bananas foster and it was delicious!! I had an omelet and it was very fresh and tasty. The wait staff was excellent but not overbearing. The owner, we presume, also came to our table and asked about our meals. Very nice place and one we highly recommend!

Wonderful place, can't say enough good things. The food is amazing- I got the bananas foster pancakes, and my friend for the Germantown benny. So so tasty, and very fresh. Such good flavors ! The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and warm, and the service matches. Our server was attentive and polite. It's a wonder I haven't gone there every day !

Came here for an after church Sunday brunch and loved it! It was pretty packed when we arrived, but we found a parking spot and were promptly seated. The ginger tea was lovely- refreshing, not too sweet, love the hint of carbonation from the ginger ale. I like it better than the fruit tea, but that was also tasty. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the Germantown West benedict. Both were superbly tasty- not too heavy, perfect flavor and all components were cooked perfectly. I loved the benedict- the smoked salmon was so delicious. Love the greens, too! My husband is a sucker for any sandwich on a croissant, so the breakfast sandwich was perfect for him. Everything was amazing-food, service, ambiance- we are definitely going back.

Sean B.

If you're visiting Nashville and like great food, be sure to stop here. It's a little pricey compared to other breakfast places. However the few $$ more is totally justified if your seeking local flavor with a twist of gourmet. The B&B like atmosphere was spacious and nice change from most restaurants. Service was a bit disjointed, they may have been new, but still friendly and attentive. Otherwise, I'd give 5 stars. Be sure to get there early on the weekends, lines begin to grow and they don't take reservations.

I really want to like this place. If I could actually eat here ever I would really, really like this place. The 2 times I have been here the food was pretty damn awesome (banana foster pancakes I still dream about). Unfortunately the other 3 times I have tried to visit in the past year or so I have left unsatisfied because I could not actually get a table here. Now twice this was largely part my own fault, I walked in between 1 and 1:30 on a Sunday when the place closes at 2 and they said they were not taking any more names on their wait list. Wait, you did this twice you ask? Yeah I let enough time go by in between the first and second times to forget about this and I work in the service industry myself so dragging myself out of bed before noon when I worked the night before til 4 is not something I like to do. So got there too late, fair enough I suppose but could you at least be around the front door (there is no host desk here just a sign that says please wait here to be seated/put your name on the list) to tell me this instead of making me wait for 10 minutes and search you out to try to get on said list? The last time attempt I made tho my friend and I arrived well with plenty of time, around 11:30. There were about the same # of people in the lobby and again no one up front to put my name on the list. I looked around the place and there were a handful of tables not sat. I went into the bar area to try to find the wait list/grab a mimosa from the bar and no one really paid me any attention. I did finally see the owner I suppose and put my name on the list after someone who came in behind me. That irked me a good bit. No mention of how long the wait would be but ok. The very next people who asked about adding their name to the list were told they were not taking any more names. All before noon! ??? This along with the empty tables pissed me off enough to take my brunch hunger elsewhere. And that brunch kinda blew. I REALLY want to eat this places banana foster pancakes again sometime, but the lack of organization of this place rubs me the wrong way. Being in the service industry, staff your busy restaurant accordingly and have someone knowledgeable about about wait times up front so you don't have people milling about uninformed, hungry, and unlikely to return to repeat this experience.

Easter morning we adventured out with Mother in tow and came to this lovely restaurant, quite the treat! But..... we waited for our meals for over an hour after we ordered, and then it was barely warm, they discounted the meals but that was just to long. We will be back to give them another try. We had The Jefferson, Banana pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage and all of it was very good regardless of the problems that they were having.

Anna B.

Took 2 hours to be seated. Told us it would be 45 min. Once seated took another hour. Was it worth it...NO! Will never go back. The pecan pancake was very good. BUT the other at our table had mixed reviews. The breakfast bowl was ok,

I can't say enough nice things about this place! When we first got there I was so tired and hungry and put out by the lack of parking but by the time we left I had completely forgotten! The waitstaff is top notch! We decided to try and have a seat at the bar area while we waited for a table to open up. While we were standing there, a man (who I believe is the owner) offered to let us sit there! We received excellent service (and conversation!) from there on out. My boyfriend and I started out with mimosas and Bloody Mary to start out with. Their Bloody Mary is made to your liking with sake instead of vodka, which gives it a wonderful flavor! The spice level was perfect. I later tried a pineapple mimosa and ordered an apple cider mimosa. Both were delicious. I ordered the meat lover's omelet, and it was great, but my boyfriend ordered the steak and eggs. The steak was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten!!!! The sauce that came with it was out of this world. I also had the bananas foster pancakes, which tasted just like they came from one of my favorite New Orleans brunch spots. On a personal note, I work a lot. I'm away from home a lot too so the time I get to spend with my loved ones is sacred. I will always remember this brunch because everything about it was percent- our table, the waiters, the owner's attention to us-it all came together to create a lovely experience. We will definitely be returning!!!

Family owned and super friendly service. Hostess was very attentive while we waitedto get into the busy place. Didn't wait long and the porch was very comfortable to talk and wait. Our server, daughter of the owner, was refreshingly kind. The Turkey bacon , turkey ham, turkey sausage were perfect. We three had the banana s foster pancakes with eggs and Turkey bacon, Turkey ham and cheese omelette and the Garden omelette. All were great. Great coffee too. Jennifer, the owner, came and spoke with us ahout her favorite menu items. Nice fresh experience! Thanks!

There are many things to love about this restaurant. From the great service, to the ambience, and most of all the amazing food. My wife and I went for brunch and could not stop talking about it for the rest of the day. We both had the specials. I had the Crab Cake Benny, which was a toasted English muffin with a crab cake on top, with an egg and house made hollandaise sauce, and an excellently seasoned shrimp on top. The potatoes that came with it were perfect. My wife had the mixed berry French toast. The Italian bread was soft and sweet enough that it complemented the mixed berry compote nicely. We had our choice of coffee. French roast, southern pecan, or the special of the day: blueberry cobbler. My wife had the blueberry cobbler which tasted just like the dessert without being overpoweringly sweet. The southern pecan was nutty, roasty and delightful. Our whole experience was fantastic and we can't wait to go back again. Between the numerous sighs of contentment and the sonnet of yummy noises, it must have been very obvious how much we loved the meal.

This place is great! We opted for the egg and cheese crossants with a side of potatoes, but were super jealous of the pancake stacks we saw come out for others. Wish we had known before we ordered, they looked so good! Food and service was great. Make sure you get there early as after 10am there is a long wait. We tried to go back another day after 10am and the parking lot was full!

Oh I really do love this place. I'm so glad my son and I went last Sunday. We had the German town west Benny, an eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, and the bananas foster pancakes. The food was incredible and service was great. For us, the cozy converted house with wooden floors, art on the walls and music playing made our visit just extra special! Oh and the southern pecan coffee..where ya been all my life?! This is a must for when in Nashville.

Oh why oh why is this place only opened Friday, Sat. and Sunday?!? Somehow the world aligned and I had Friday off and a friend wanted to go to breakfast. First thing came to mind was Garden Brunch Cafe. Lucky for me, no lines what so ever. I had the fiesta omelette and the ginger tea with a side of sausage. The food was awesome. I love the fact that they use locally grown produce and turkey sausage, etc. The service was great, very friendly. Awesome AWESOME place.

We went here after hearing great things about all the food. I'm not a huge pancake fan, but heard everything was good. Arrived to a 45min wait and would've left if it weren't for how good the place smelled inside. Ordered their take on a bloody mary(made with sake instead of vodka) and the wife had a sangria. The waitress brought the waters first, but set her tray down on our table and served us our waters, and her other tables' waters...while her tray sat on our table. Once she took the tray up from our table, it left a huge amount of water on the table which she never cleaned up. The drinks we ordered didn't come until about 30seconds before our food arrived(waited for our food for about 10-12min). The bloody mary had an interesting taste, but that got old pretty quick, and overall would've rather had vodka. The wife enjoyed the sangria, but I think the prices were WAY to steep for the 2 drinks served in a white wine glass(I know the sangria is a wine drink, but the amount served is weak). The food, however, is very good. I had the French Toast, which was served with a side of eggs and choice of meat(turkey bacon, turkey sausage and some other turkey meat). The french toast was delicious, very light and the syrup was great. The eggs were scrambled perfectly, soft and fluffy and hot and even the turkey sausage was good. I would've been able to finish my food, I think, had there been better air flow in the restaurant. It was very hot outside and their AC doesn't quite cut it for the relatively small size of of the restaurant. This would've easily been a 1-2 star rating had the food not been so good. But was so uncomfortable I probably won't come back.

This is the best breakfast and lunch restaurant in Nashville. The fish and grits are excellent. Actually, everything on the menu is excellent. The staff is very friendly and professional. Any review saying that this restaurant is not worth going to is a blatant lie!! It is worth waiting in line until you are seated and served. THE BEST BREAKFAST and LUNCH restaurant in Nashville and it is located on historical Jefferson St. On a scale of 1 to 5? 5+

Best brunch I've had in quite some time. I had the blackened catfish and (cheesy) grits, with ginger iced tea. Extraordinary all around. And the wait staff is as friendly as they come. Fantastic place.

This is the best brunch I have EVER had! I took everyone's recommendation and got the Banana Foster Pancakes...omg. SO DELISH! I would have given the restaurant a 5, but we had some technical difficulties....apparently there was a problem with the pancake batter, so I got my food about 15 minutes after everyone else (and of course everyone tried as hard as they could to wait on me to eat, but it got to be too much to bare...the waiter brought me some grits so they would eat! haha). My friend ordered the salmon...only to find out they were out of salmon, so he got tilapia instead--the main reason he got the fish dish was to try the asparagus (he'd never had them before), but when his dish came out it came with spinach...he doesn't eat spinach. After inquiring about the asparagus, we were told they were out of them. Anyways--all of the food was amazing! Just a few hiccups along the way. And, like everyone said the wait is very long, but it's also very worth it!! **I would say it's not good for groups of more than 4, unless they'll take a reservation, which I doubt they will. It's a very small restaurant, but very eclectic! I loved the hand-painted art

Blackberry French Toast (a special) was e'special'ly stupendous. 1.5 hour wait was not too fun after 1 hour was advertised. Logistics for getting people into the restaurant was clearly wanting, HOWEVER, once seated, the experience from begining to end was seamless- with the chef coming over to check on us. Looks like a place with alot of promise.

We went on a busy Sunday and only waited about 10 to 15 minutes. You would have no idea that such a charming place could be found next to a popeyes and captain d. Inside the decor was eclectic and featured local artists. The bloody Mary's are made with sake instead of vodka which was very tasty. Good amount of heat without blowing up your mouth. I had the special for the day... crab cake benedict which were mostly crab instead of breading. Delicious! My date had the house signature, Germantown benedict. Very beautiful plating and also well paired ingredients. Preparation was spot on. We sat at the bar and was served by one of the owners (a lovely couple that have been doing this for 5 years now) and we're blown away by the hospitality. I can't wait for my sister to visit so that I can take her here.

This may possibly be the best breakfast restaurant ever. The food, staff and ambiance were absolutely delightful. Our table was seated next to the band which was playing jazz music. Even seated next to them, it was not too loud to interfere with breakfast. I ordered the oatmeal, and my girlfriends pancakes and a breakfast sandwich. As we waited we sipped mimosas. Mine was an apple cider mimosa and far better than an original! The oatmeal was cooked perfect and served with fresh fruit, milk, and brown sugar. The breakfast sandwich was cooked perfect and well enjoyed. The pancakes, though, were AMAZING! They tasted like cake. I have never tasted something that good. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Our waiter Malcolm was friendly and struck up conversations with us and the other patrons. The restaurant used to be a house and that's how it felt...like you were enjoying breakfast at a friend's house. My favorite meal of the entire trip!

This is one of those really special places where every aspect of the experience demonstrates the passion of the owners. The food is excellent and puts a nice modern twist on family recipes. The environment is warm and inviting. The staff and co-owner make you feel well taken care of. We'll be sure to return on any trip to Nashville.

This was the perfect weekend brunch! Discovered it via Yelp, when the Pancake Pantry was swamped. It turned out to be a fortunate glitch in my plan! I had Mimosas, Southern Pecan coffee, the Banana Foster Pancakes (heavenly!) and the turkey bacon. Everything was perfect! Love the small venue, which is cozy, but not too crowded. The service was good and definitely worth the drive to Nashville!

We've been here for brunch four times and each time the service is an issue. Food is excellent and that's what keeps us coming back. But every single time we have a long wait and even after you order, food takes forever. Efficiency definitely isn't their thing. Bus boys were clearing tables by removing two glasses at a time and walking back and forth to the kitchen. Takes too much time to flip tables even when a crowd is waiting. Last time we were there, customers had waited over an hour for a table and there were empty tables available. When we asked the host why they weren't seating people we were told that area was closed because they were short a server. Today we arrived well before closing and the front door was locked. Staff near the back door told us they were closing early for a private party, but agreed to let us in as their last customer. I called before arriving to inquire about the length of the wait. It would have been nice if they had mentioned they were closing early before we headed that way. Staff is extremely nice. Banana fosters pancakes and potatoes are the only reason I keep dragging my boyfriend back. But I know his patience is wearing thin with the Garden Brunch Cafe. Feels good to support local businesses so please, step up the service and we will continue our support. Talented live local music that we enjoyed, as well.

I travel the world for a living. I've had the pleasure of dining in so many countries, towns, and cities. By far, this is tops in the most satisfying meals EVER category!! From the moment you step in the door... Greeted by a smiling face, beautifully painted crimson walls, various pieces of eclectic art, and the intoxicated smell of fresh food, you feel welcome and intrigued. Donald was our host. An amazing person... Full of personality and a great sense of humor! I had the organic spinach omelette and my friend the bananas foster pancakes. We tried each others food. The omelette was fresh and just melted away into my mouth. The potatoes were the best I have ever had in my life... Sorry Michelle(my sister is a chef). The spongebob mimosa (pineapple) carafe added a wonderful relaxation to a Sunday. Topped off by the coffee special of the day, Sofia. I tried a few bites of the Bananas Foster Pancakes... Wow, it was like Christmas!! The chef, Jennifer, came out to introduce herself and ask us how we enjoyed the meal. That is so rare and so appreciated!! The total meal was a bit in the higher side However, I can safely say it is worth every last penny you spend!! Normally, I can find atleast one thing that a restaurant could have done better. With this place, there wasn't one thing I could think of!! Everything was fresh, organic, healthy, fresh made preserves, raw sugar, wheat toast... Just perfection!! Go here, eat here often!! Your mouth and stomach will love you!! To leave here dissatisfied means you are a grumpy poopy pants! This place has charm, class, and direction!! I will most likely go back for lunch before they close at 2pm. Yes, that's right, twice in one day. It's that good!!!!

Um, wow. This is one of those places that I almost don't even want to write a review for, because I don't want the line to get longer! As others have mentioned, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside the place is really nice - hip medium grey walls in one room, deep red in another. It's a converted home with tasteful decor (that ranges from wall-mounted ceramic flowers to a modern painting of Jay-Z). When we drove up, there were only about 4 people standing on the porch, so I thought we got lucky and wouldn't have much of a line. Don't be fooled! There were also a bunch of people waiting inside. After parking behind the house (about a dozen parking spots), we walked up at around 12:15 on a Sunday and they said the wait was about 45 minutes. It was almost exactly that. Before getting seated, we sat out on the stoop and looked over the menu - decided for sure on a Benny (benedict) and either the fish and grits or bananas foster pancakes. By the time we were seated (~1), they were out of the Bennys, so we went with the other two. The fish and grits were the best I've had in Nashville. There is a choice of grilled or blackened tilapia or catfish. We went with the blackened catfish, and the cajun seasoning was fantastic. The grits weren't quite as rich as they are at Prime 108 or Germantown Cafe, but they were good and blended well with the flavorful fish. The bananas foster pancakes were extremely sweet, so if you aren't a fan of sugar overload this isn't for you. I'm glad I split the two dishes with my lady, because there is no way I could have eaten a plate of these on my own. They were the perfect dessert though! Also tried the ginger tea, which was tasty. I'm guessing the fruit tea would be similarly good. As others have mentioned, there is a refreshing diversity of guests in this place (and I don't just mean racial diversity). There were a bunch of 20-somethings (some a bit hipsterish and others in their Sunday best), a few families (one with three generations represented!), and one or two older couples. After only being in Nashville for about a year, it often feels quite segregated and that's one of the only things I really don't like about it. This place helps you forget about that. When we were leaving, our server said we should come back sometime for the jazz nights, spend some time with others from the community. I think we'll do that!

I was in town for the Bears vs Titans game with a few friends. The wait was about 45 minutes on a Saturday morning but well worth it. Great food, great service and most importantly great people. Highly recommend it!

I would not recommend coming here for a hangover cure because the line is so long. I was ready to leave 4 or 5 times just while we were waiting because my headache was so bad... but I'm so glad I didn't! I made the JV mistake of ordering oatmeal which wasn't very good... but the bananas fosters pancakes are incredible and totally compensated for my bad order. ... Probably the best pancakes I've ever had.

I read the reviews. Cute, converted house near Farmers Market on Jefferson Street. Great food, great service, long wait. We arrived on a Saturday morning a little before 10 and walked right in and got a table and ordered. I really wanted to be blown away like so many other yelpers. Sadly, it was just average, maybe a little better than average, but definitely not the best breakfast in town. Definitely not. First, the coffee needs work. With all the bean roasters around, you'd think it would have some taste. It was weak. Asked for another cup. Same taste. Breakfast arrived. Husband ordered oatmeal with fresh fruit and wheat toast. I ordered their spinach/carmelized onions/feta/cherry tomato omelette (paid a little extra for it to be egg whites) with a side of fresh fruit and wheat toast. The food was hot. Omelette was good, not amazing, but good. Toast was cold. Hate cold toast. Had to ask for butter. Fruit was o.k., nothing special. Oatmeal was hot and tasted fair. Again, I'm sad to report, but nothing amazing. I really wanted to like this place. The staff was very nice, but again, in my book, the food has to be exceptional to earn 4-5 stars and this wasn't. Perhaps if the coffee was stronger, even had some taste and the toast had come out hot, it would have helped. Oh, and the price? A tad high - $22 before a $4 tip. (Side note, the waiter Justin was great.)

Mediocre food. Very pleasant but slow but service. Breakfast meats are only Turkey based. Appreciate the health attempt but I'd prefer to make my own decisions. Loud background music at 11:00am. Really wanted to like this place as I'm looking for a go to brunch stop.

My husband and I tried this place after a recommendation from one of my colleagues who lives in the area. I don't know by what stroke of luck we managed to do so, but with it being Valentine's weekend, they were serving the red velvet pancakes. All I can say is, if you are able to go before the month is over, you MUST try them. It is obvious the owner spent a lot of time working to get them just perfect... moist, tender, the right amount of cocoa, and just the right size. 3 delicious pancakes topped with whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce, and served with maple syrup on the side--one of the few times I have ever allowed anyone to put whipped cream on my pancakes. With a side of scrambled eggs and turkey sausage, I couldn't have been happier. The fact that I'm pregnant and they had "fauxmosas" (without alcohol) was nice, too. We will be coming back here, and when we do, they had several omelettes that looked enticing as well as bananas foster pancakes. The staff was super friendly and the decor/fireplace created a nice ambience.

Music was live... standup bass and piano.... Food was really good... had the garden omelette and grits. The grits were perfect! Had a pineapple mimosa, which was very nice. Owner greeted us at the door... waiter was really friendly.

What I will say is everyone at this restaurant raved about the food. They said it was amazing and it was worth the wait. They also said the red velvet pancakes were amazing. My experience was very extreme compared to other reviews. My wife and I went to the Garden for Breakfast on Feb 13th at 11am. We waited outside for 2 HOURS! When I called at 10:30am, the hostess said they were completely full and were not taking reservations. If I was a walk in- they said it might be 20-30 mins to get a table. When I got there, she said it could be 45 mins to an hour. As we were waiting, there were many couples and families that were waltzing in with reservations and it was very frustrating. 2 hours later, I asked how long - and she said another 30 mins. I got the hell out of there. Perhaps it was valentines day weekend that causes the busy rush, but no restaurant no matter how good the reviews, was worth 2 hours. It's too bad too because this restaurant has a cozy, nice feel to it with some respectable clientele - in the most run down part of town. Not worth the wait. We went to Dunkin Donuts instead on our walk back to the hotel. Quick TIP: All this place would have to do is serve coffee outside to guests waiting to get in and it would make people a whole lot happier.

Sunday Brunch on the hottest day of the year didn't help their case however, I was disappointed. Waited for an hour for 6 of us to sit down, no problem. Bananas foster pancakes, definitely no problem. Server taking all day to bring us drinks, food, anything...come on girl. Didn't smile or reassure us that anything was coming, which would have made me feel better. Get the pancakes, sit at the bar.

Tony G.

By far the best brunch in town!! Only open on Friday thru Sunday but well worth it. The selection is good for all food types and everything is made fresh to order. The only downfall is the wait because it is made fresh to order it takes some time to get seated and eat. Don't let that discourage you WAIT it is well worth it. If they have it get the Banana Foster Waffle, amazing!! Highly recommend this place!

Karen L.

So the short and sweet of it is - loved the food, the people, and the atmosphere. Didn't have to wait long @ 10am on a Sunday but the parking situation wasn't great. The pancakes rival Pancake Ppantry and LOVED the turkey sausage options, organic eggs and greens. Will be back for more!

Karen M.

I tried this place a while back and the food was just OK, had a nice decor, and found the owners to be very nice. Going through yelp reviews during my recent visit I noticed that GBC had some reviews for breakfast, so I decided to try them again. Glad I did, because the pancakes were good, loved the syrup, and they had turkey sausage. No lattes, but I saw a woman bring her drink with her, so next time I will take her lead. The only thing I would change is that they open on Saturdays & Sundays for breakfast at 7:00am. If they did I would be there every weekend when visiting.

Jenn R.

Came across this gem, via Yelp, and what a great decision it was! The wait is a LONG one, BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT! One of the owners greets you, and within about 30-45 minutes you are seated. It is a quiet place, good for groups. They also have purchasable artwork! What is not to love? Upon meeting our waiter, Marcus, I asked him what his favorite pancake was (because if the staff has not eaten there, that is not a good sign) he replied "butter pecan." Here is my breakdown on what I tried: Ginger tea-$3 Jefferson St eggs Benedict w/roasted potatoes $12 SIDE of Butter Pecan Pancakes ( Thanks Marcus!) $8 LOVED it all! I wish I could post pictures for you all. They also have mimosas, bloody Mary, and sangria. The owners are really as nice as they seem! It truly was a great atmosphere, all staff was very, very, nice and helpful! Can't wait for another trip to Nashville, just so I can eat here again!

Good food. Creative menu. Very friendly, but very slow service. Guests were being told it would be an hour wait upon check-in so most left. By the time we were half way through eating more than half of the tables were empty. If I was the owner I would have been pretty upset that so much business was turned away!

Just finished having brunch on a Sunday morning. The wait was long and even once seated there doesn't seem to be a rush in having your food come out. On vacation and not in a hurry we appreciated the ability to linger here for awhile however some of the other patrons seemed irritated. Perhaps they were in a hurry. The pecan coffee was very very good. I ordered the spinach omelet and my husband ordered the banana fosters pancakes. No doubt my husband ordered the better dish! The omelet was good, slightly smaller portion then I was hoping for. The Bananas fosters pancakes were amazing! The other highlight was the grits. We have eaten our way around Nashville and this place is one of the best we've dined at. :-)

Scott P.

We stumbled (googled "Sunday brunch" while at the farmers market) across this great restaurant and couldn't believe our luck. We enjoyed a pitcher of mimosas and amazing variations of eggs Benedict without being rushed. It was relaxing, great food and super nice staff. Clearly they cared about our experience!

Sharon B.

The food was great! So the 2-star rating was from a service prospective only. We got to the restaurant at 1130 and fully anticipated a wait. It was after all Sunday and Father's Day. Finally seated at 1240 and was then a full hour before our food arrived and then rather hap-hazardly. One order came without toast and when we finally asked for it - the entree was almost completely eaten. 1 piece of toast was brought to the table with no butter. Again the food was delicious but after 3 hours for brunch - the food - no matter how great - was diminished by the service. Just awful. Too bad as we wanted this to be a great place for after church brunch. But we won't be back.

This past Sunday my husband and I were on the search for a place to have a niche brunch. I got out my phone and Garden Brunch Cafte came up in my search. This place is fantastic. Owner was so hospitable and eager to please. The wait staff couldn't have been better. This is our every Sunday brunch place for sure. Love it! Best eggs I've ever had. We look forward to trying everything on the menu eventually.

Unbelievable! The best breakfast I have ever had in my life!!!! The atmosphere was quaint and cozy, the staff was delightful and friendly and the food was out of this world. Breakfast is my favorite meal and I always enjoy going out but since moving to the south my breakfast journeys have been sorely disappointing. I found The Garden via Yelp and I am so thankful!!! I don't eat beef or pork so many fudged are out of the realm of possibility for me, but not here! Turkey ham and cheese omelette!! Yum! Boyfriend has turkey sausage fiesta omelette! Yum! And we shared the amazing Bananas Foster pancakes, yum!!! This was the holy grail of breakfast!!!!

Garden Brunch Cafe has the corner market on delicious breakfast and brunch. The best banana's foster pancakes EVER! I just tried the fish n grits for the first time. Well seasoned fish and the grits were cooked to perfection. Mimosas if you so choose to and really good coffee! I look forward to going again very soon... Parking is a little challenging but worth it! GO! You won't be disappointed! Oh! And they have jazz from time to time! A cherry on the cake! Go early on Sundays they are the happenin' spot!

Went on a Saturday morning around 12, small wait of 30 mins.. Had a drink at the bar, everyone was so friendly and the wait went quick!

This gem is my new to-go place for breakfast. Fluffy omelets, fresh pancakes, and eggs benedict ($14) with homemade hollandaise sauce. Mmmm. The french toast has a perfect crispy exterior with a fluffy moist center. The wait was short considering the number of people waiting. The servers were very efficient and polite, and were table flipping extraordinaires. Live music kicked in right before we left and the guy had an incredible range. Totally earned the tip. No outdoor seating today, but they were talking about adding a table outside. Lot is small in the back and I noticed many people parking in the church lot behind. The only thing I do not like is the ginger tea--the ginger ale is too syrupy and overwhelms the tea and lemon.

Dagan B.

i had the gift card and my son was with me so i said why not go the next day again. i am so glad i did. the germantown was really good and the fish and grits were really good if u like spicy and the grits were outstanding again. whats funny is most people would thing there isnt much to grits and there isnt but the quality is just like a steak in a way. some are just better than others. add a little extra of their real butter and wow. and again the banana foster pancakes stole the show. on top of that they are very very friendly. get there early and save on the wait time. ohhh and go as soon as u can :)

The Garden Brunch Cafe is a great breakfast and brunch spot. My husband and I went on a Friday morning - and showed up right at 9am. They were a bit slow on the food preparation but I don't think brunch should be rushed anyways. I ordered the banana fosters pancakes, and my husband ordered the french toast. My husband's french toast came out with his side of eggs and potatoes, and they said my pancakes would take a bit longer but brought my side of eggs and potatoes out which was nice. When my pancakes arrived they brought me another hot fresh side of eggs and potatoes so I had a full hot meal which was so thoughtful - given that I had already eaten the potatoes which were delicious. The pancakes are very rich but very tasty and my husband enjoyed his french toast. The service was impeccable and the owners gave us a red velvet pancake to make up for the wait which was delicious.

You can tell that they don't make anything until you order it. Everything is fresh and so good. The omelets are full of vegetables, and the bananas foster pancakes are amazing.

Jennifer M.

The food we ate was excellent. The bananas foster pancakes are spectacular. My stars primarily represent my opinion of the food and the ambiance, which is charming. However, the wait and the service were substandard. The staff is pleasant but that only carries things so far. We arrived to a clear 'wait' which we were told would be 25 minutes; the wait ended up being an hour. This is a rather significant misjudgment on the part of the staff. Our waiter was pleasant and took our order promptly. And brought coffee and water promptly but 20 minutes later we still had not received the cream & sugar we had requested with the coffee nor had anybody come near our table to re-request it. I attempted to get it from the bar but nobody would help me there either. They are not a well-oiled machine but these things are fixable. Hopefully they will make efforts to do so because it is a gem as far as food.

It's easy to give this place 5 stars. I was in Nashville for a weekend and after eating at all the "As seen on TV" places we'd seen on the Food network we decided we wanted our last meal to be lest touristy. We checked out of our hotel and I found Garden Brunch through the yelp app. We came in and there was a wait. Fine by us, we weren't in a rush. They had some musicians playing jazz. I thought this was a nice touch for a Sunday brunch. When we sat down we were greeted by Malcolm. Malcolm was friendly, attentive, had a personality and made sure we had a great time. He gave us recommendations, answered questions, and in the end him and his lovely smile made our experience great. I think he was a fantastic server. At one point he spilled a pitcher of water. He acted with such poise and respect, even though he hadn't gotten any on us or our food. I ordered the the germantown west benny. As the other reviews have stated, it is Ahhhmazing. I think that a lot of the key to eggs Benedict is yes, the hollaindaise sauce, but also, the ratio of all the ingredients. Each ingredient needs to have the perfect amount or you end up having left over eggs with nothing to add to the fork. Or you don't have enough sauce to dip with, or the yolk overpowers, etc. Well, let me tell you, the ratio at the Garden Brunch Cafe was perfect. The spinach was just so perfectly folded into the flavor profile. They had the right amount of salmon, often times I think people skimp on this part of a salmon eggs Benedict and then you can't even taste it. Well, not this place. Well done guys! In addition, the after I ordered I was looking around I noticed they served fresh croissants so I had them add one to my plate, I was so impressed that they were so fresh and buttery. I highly recommend trying one if you can. My friend had the Bananas Foster pancakes and we ended up eating them together. They were just to die for. We were told my Malcolm that they use vanilla soy milk. Apparently that's the secret ingredient that makes the flab jacks flavorful but not overpowering with sweetness. Anyway, as you can tell, I loved this place.

This place has awesome food, genuinely smooth atmosphere, and wonderful management. I recommend the bananas foster and the fish & grits. They were bangin'.

My first 5 star rated restaurant. This place is a hidden gem in Germantown. I found this place on Yelp and I was blown away. The BEST banana foster pancakes I have honestly ever had. Actually, the best pancakes, period! You will not be disappointed. The service is always phenomenal. Note: if you're coming on a Sunday, come just before church ends because there is always a long wait.

This place is OK- 3.5 stars. We had a large group for brunch and the staff seemed really confused about seating us. We eventually ended up just taking over the restaurant (it was like 12 of us). We actually had a good 'ol time but that was partly because we had such a large group. The food was just OK- maybe 3 stars. It might have been better if the place wasn't so crowded. If we were in the neighborhood we might come back.

You can tell by the layout of this place that they made due with what they had to work with in regards to the space. Only parking is in the back and that is also limited. Seems like chances were taken and are paying off. Got here at 9:00 when they opened on Sunday and was already a few regulars waiting to get in. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive, but not in your face. If you are in a hurry, don't come to here. Food took a while, but in our case was here to visit with friends and get a good meal. In regards to the meal, everybody loved what they ordered. The Turkey bacon surprised me on how good it was. Was not crazy about the eggs benedict with spinach and cappers, because was to rich for my tastes. Would we go back? Heck yes! Good job!

The food is a bit better than average, however the staff are wonderful. You feel like more than just a customer, as if you are joining family breakfast. Socks not knocked off by the food, but that was ok.

This place would be worth another visit to Nashville! Awesome food, great service and atmosphere. But watch out you could miss it very easy. It doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside :) Btw, parking is in the rear!

What a delicious brunch find! And on Saturdays! ( I think it's oh-so-sad that some of the best brunch haunts are only brunchy on Sundays). The Garden Brunch Cafe is tucked away in a little house in the Germantown area surrounded by pathways and (surprise!) garden all along the pathways including both vegetables and herbs based on what I could still recognize when I visited in November. They have plentiful brunch options, including beverages (I enjoyed a delicious mimosa, and they also have bloody marys that are made with sake instead of vodka which gave them a brightness unlike any bloody mary I'd tried before). I sampled a special, the pumpkin pancakes, which were absolutely delicious and exactly what I wanted. Nothing like a pumpkin treat to put you in the mood for fall. My fiance had one of the omelets, and it was fluffy, filled with veggies, and served with turkey sausage and really tasty potatoes. The walls are covered in many sorts of art, which really makes the place feel homey, and our waiter was both nice and attentive. I look forward to returning. I've got more seasonal pancakes to try!

Came in as it opened. There were people waiting outside, sign of a great place. Was greeted and seated promptly. Three people recommended the banana foster pancakes. So my husband ordered it, he loves it. I had the fiesta omelet with grits. Yummy!! Server recommended I try it with brown sugar. It was fantastic. Will definitely return and recommend to others. Friendly wait staff!!! Love the ambiance too.

My family and I were very satisfied with our Sunday morning outing at Garden Brunch. We chose Garden Brunch because first, I've heard great things about this place, and second, it seemed like a "safe" brunch spot, offering both classic and unique dishes. Unlike my mom, sister, and me, my brother and dad prefer the good ole classic dishes over the "creative" and "innovative" dishes. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was helpful and friendly, and the manager (?) was exceptional. She checked up on us once during the meal to see how everything was, and then a second time after we had finished. Being the inquirer of all things food related, I asked her about the restaurant, and she told us all about the place. It was clear that she was passionate about the restaurant and loved sharing a little bit of that passion with her customers. She then asked if any of us had ordered the menu special; none of us had and she insisted that we try it. Five minutes later, she brings out a plate of lemon mint pancakes...and it was on the house! So let's talk food. I got the smoked salmon benedict, and it was really good. My sister got the banana fosters pancakes which were good, but in my opinion too sweet for 10am. I preferred my brother's plain pancakes, which were fluffy and perfect. The lemon mint pancakes, the menu special that the manager brought out to us, was honestly my favorite thing I tried. Onto the sides... I did not at all like the turkey sausage. The roasted potatoes were good and well seasoned. In short, Garden Brunch is worth checking out. Great food, location, and service. FYI's... -I have heard that the wait here gets long. We went about half an hour after Garden Brunch opened and we were seated only about ten minutes after arrival. -The only meat they serve is turkey-based, so turkey bacon, turkey sausage, and turkey ham. My brother is allergic to all bird meats, so had we known this we probably would have gone somewhere else for brunch. He was a good sport about it, and I think the pancakes made up for the fact that he didn't get in his ritual morning protein.

Great food, Great service. The Fish and grits dish was perfect, with the blackened salmon. Great atmosphere, If you are in Nashville it's worth the wait. There is parking lot to the rear (small)...be careful where you park.

We had 4 and were able to sit down within 10 minutes on a Sunday around 10am. The tables seem to turn fast but they have a really bad system for customer seating that they could fix with a little process. We got lucky and got in quick. Fair prices at $10-15 and we got the banana fosters and a breakfast sandwhich. Banana Fosters is amazing as the pancakes melt in your mouth and the sweetness is perfect. Finger licking good! Parking can be a challenge for new people as well as their is a small lot out back and then street parking. The "garden" around the house could use some TLC as well but the food is amazing.

This is back from when I was in Nasheville in April so review is overdue. Absolutely delicious. Their bloody mary is one of the BEST I've had. Just enough of spiciness. We got French toast with a side of egg and bacon, and eggs benedicts that came with roasted potatoes and greens. See my pics! Came here for brunch and had to wait a little. I would go back.

There is a little parking lot behind the restaurant, we managed to get a spot on a Sunday morning but things get pretty busy depending on when you show up. There was a 40 minute wait when we finally put our name in for a party of 4 which is to be expected at any decent brunch place on a Sunday morning. The restaurant itself isn't very big so that's why there is a wait. I was a bit skeptical about the negative reviews about the service but unfortunately they were right. When we were finally seated we had to wait around 10 minutes for anyone to take our drink order, meanwhile other people who were seated around the same time as us were already placing their meal orders. The servers either missed us or forgot about us. When they finally came to get the drink order they took the food order as well. They then came back to double check what I ordered so I figured that all was good in the world. Imagine my surprise when they brought out the wrong thing! So the company that I was with ended up eating part of their food while I was waiting for my actual order to come out. Don't get me wrong, the servers are very nice and friendly, they just make a lot of mistakes! The upside of this place is the food, which was delicious! Everyone that I was with really liked what they ordered, but they said that they don't know if they will ever come back because of the poor service. It's one thing to wait between 40 minutes and an hour for a restaurant with great food AND service, and it's another thing to wait around for so long and receive very poor service. I really hope they step up their game! On top of all of the previously mentioned missteps, when they brought our bill out to us they split them up wrong, three meals on one and only one on the other, makes no sense since we asked for two separate bills. The last nail in their coffin was the fact that their debit/credit card machine was not working. We asked how long it's been out for and they told us that it has been 30 minutes. They never made any of their customers aware of the issue, which is pretty bad since not everyone carries cash with them. Thankfully one of us had cash! Overall a messy, poor experience that was only saved by the quality of the food. Though I doubt that we will be back!

The food is delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. My wife and I came here for breakfast in our 1 year anniversary and couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. we arrived around 1020 and waited about 45 minute, but I promise the wait was well worth it. The service was very kind and courteous. Everything about our experience was top notch. Get here early and often!

Sincere R.

Banana Foster's Pancakes was simply amazing. I literally scrapped the plate. The sauce is so addictive you just want to bottle it up and put it on everything. It's a very intimate setting, so be prepared to wait a little bit trust that it's worth the wait. I've been here a couple times before and every time my only knock on the place has been the service. The staff was extremely friendly but it just takes forever and a day for you to get seated and then it's a bit of wait to get your food. Bright spot today: they under promised and over delivered on estimating the wait time. They initially quoted an hour+ wait time but seated me in only about 30 mins or so and it was a packed house. Food great service can be upgraded a tad...

There's something to be said when a place only is open for 3 out of the 7 days that exist in a week. And be packed. (Fri/Sat/Sun for those who are curious) This place is glorious. Family owned and operated. Organic pro-local. Right by a huge Baptist church with a cute red door to boot. This place covers so many good things that accommodate the many personalities that seem to inhabit Nashville. So back to it being packed. Be prepared to wait a while unless you are lucky enough to either want to try your luck at the bar (tiny little thing but don't knock it). Everyone is so personable and friendly though that even if you wait or service could have been slow (which it wasn't even though it was really a bitter fight to the death for people to secure bar seats) you won't notice. Now the good stuff. If you like your brunches a little boozy, they have a pretty interesting selection. Sake based bloody marys (which I had and can vouch it goes down smooth and spicy, just the way I like it) to cider champagne in addition to the normal brunch fare. Had the Germantown Benedict which was a hearty without being heavy and banana foster pancakes (which I warn you could be a meal in itself but I have no regrets). They make their own caramel sauce that just explodes in flavor with the bananas walnuts and pancakes. I don't even like sweets for brunch typically and I demolished that plate. If you want a great breakfast/brunch, get in line and be prepared to be blown away :)

Outstanding!!!! Great food, great service perfect combination. The Fish and grits dish was perfect, with the blackened salmon. The French toast with butter cream sauce was also excellent and we can't forget about fruit tea. Great atmosphere, If you are in Nashville (over a weekend) it's worth the wait. It's only open on the weekend.

First and last time I am coming here. I feel that the restaurant has a responsibility to its patrons to warn about restricted parking areas that are not properly labeled. Thanks for not warning and not providing directions to where your parking lot is located. $130 dollar towing bill on top of okay tasting food. No thanks. Oh and I was told within the hour I was in the restaurant 6 cars were towed.

Tristyn B.

I'd kindof found this place by accident, since the place I'd originally bookmarked for brunch that day didn't have brunch during the week. This ish right here though??? Wow! I wen't with two of my girlfriends and two of us had the salmon cake brunch, while the other had the Bananas Foster pancakes (trust me when I tell you that you definitely wanna get that). Everything was really good and well presented, the server was nice and oh-so-helpful in recommending places for us to visit, and as an added bonus they play GREAT music (Motown hits, anyone?). The space itself is also really cute. It looks like it used to be an old house, so amid the very commercial area where its located it can be VERY easy to miss if you've never been before. The parking behind the space can be kindof a bitch if they're packed (which they are on the weekends) but those Bananas Foster pancakes might just be worth the struggle. Like, my food was good but when I tried my friend's pancakes I just about died ya'll. I've actually thought about making the 4 hour drive from Atlanta just to get some. Unfortunately, I'm not even kidding about that either lol.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. It is the absolute worst experience I have ever had a restaurant. Every employee we encountered except for our waitress was extremely rude and clueless. We waited for an hour and a half to be seated for brunch on a Saturday even after we told the hostess that we would agree to be split up if it meant we could get seated quicker. They still continued to seat everyone else but us! They also refused to let my husband and I order a drink at the bar but allowed others to purchase drinks. The owner of the restaurant checked on every table but ours. I honestly have never felt so profiled and offended in my life. I ordered a breakfast bowl that was ok but certainly not worth the three hours that it took to come out. The french toast was ok but would have been much better if it were served warm. I was astonished that they don't bring the food out together for groups of people and allow some people to finish their food before others are served! The fact that this place is still in business blows my mind. Please do not waste your time going here!!!!! They cannot accommodate groups over two.

When I travel, I try to find new places. The best are small, single locations and usually off the beaten path. The Garden Brunch Cafe is all of that, and so much more. They offer everything from traditional egg dishes and pancakes to thoughtfully prepared Benedicts and omlets. I chose their specialty Benedict, which was made with over-easy eggs, cold smoked salmon, caramelized onions, spinach and the lightest hollandaise sauce I have ever tasted atop a toasted English muffin. It was fantastic! Nothing is fried. The meats (ham, sausage and bacon) are made in-house and are turkey based. At your request, they will sub olive oil for butter. They honestly are making an effort to provide a more healthy brunch alternative to greasy, buttery and heavy fare found at most places. That being said, they do still serve more indulgent treats. The plates of pancakes and french toast, which passed by my table, makes me want to come back the next time I am in town, and that's saying something as I usually look for new places, when travelling.

I went here last Saturday morning with my wife. It's always a great sign when the owner greets you at the door. With any breakfast spot I always order my usual..eggs, a meat, potatoes and toast. I went with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. And I love it when a place offers turkey options. The breakfast potatoes were great too. It's all about the fine details here...like when the jelly comes out in a little ramekin instead of those crappy packets. In all...a solid fresh breakfast.

While I got off to a rocky start here (there were various open tables but they wouldn't seat us right away, said they didn't have enough staff to handle all of their open tables), they made a definite fan out of me. This restaurant is on Jefferson St. next to a Popeyes Chicken, so you might not expect such quality. But once you walk in, you know that this is not your run of the mill restaurant. It appears to be a converted house, and they did a fantastic job. Now on to food. The owner gave us little plastic cups to sample the crab chowder, and I had to have a bowl of it, as did my friend. It was perhaps the most exquisite soup I've ever had, no lie. We enjoyed that over a couple mimosas (delicious), and then moved on to the gold. My friend and I both ordered the West Benny (I think that is the name), which consisted of two sides of an english muffin topped with overeasy eggs (perfectly cooked), smoked salmon (high quality), and sauteed spinache. It also came with a side of breakfast potatoes, which are a personal weakness for me because I love those carba-licious taters so. There were also slices of little cherry tomatoes and fruit to top it all off delicately. I smothered every bite in egg yolk and stuffed myself to the gills! This meal made me soooo happy, I came home, took a nap, and smiled as I dreamed of eating it all over again...

If you are in the mood for something a little different for breakfast, then this smaller, family owned restaurant is the place. Great atmosphere, service, and food! A little higher in price than most breakfast type establishments, but well worth it for what you get. We will be going back the next time we are in Nashville!

Great breakfast spot! Everything is fresh, made to order with a very homey atmosphere. The family who owns it spent time to meet us and are very passionate about their food. I highly recommend trying it out.

My first visit to TN, and I read good reviews about the brunch here. I had a particular craving for eggs benedict, so I ordered the one with turkey bacon. Now, I love me some bacon so I was a little wary. Not to worry, it was delicious! The eggs were poached perfectly and the homemade sauce was exactly right. The side of roasted red potatoes were deliciously seasoned and cooked and sopped up the little bit of extra sauce perfectly! The cherry tomato garnish was awesome, I could have done with a few more of those. I will be going back tomorrow, just before I leave town to try the bananas foster pancakes.

So good I just created a Yelp account. Try the Lemon Drop and the Fiesta Omelette...fresh vegetables! Service was outstanding...if your local your lucky. I would drive in for this anytime."

The way I found this place was by purchasing a "The Big Deal Nashville" groupon type thing for it. This past Sunday my fiance and I decided to just have a lazy day and go to brunch with a little shopping planned. Driving up to it, it's a little hard to spot. I think everyone drives past it the first time if you haven't been before, but you can turn into the Popeye's Chicken next door and take the back alley to their parking lot. If there aren't any spaces available you can also park at the Church behind it. Now, I had read the reviews ahead of time so I knew to expect a wait, but we didn't mind. My fiancee ordered a classic mimosa to sip while we waited on the porch. Once we got called in to be seated, our eyes scoured the Civil War home. The paintings are definitely an eye catcher (some are for sale). We each ordered a mimosa, my fiancee getting another classic while I went with the tropicana (pineapple juice instead of orange). Delicious! Once I had finished my mimosa I decided to order their Southern pecan coffee. Probably one of the best freshly brewed cups of coffee I've ever had. The smell is enough to make you a fan. Once our food arrived we were definitely ready to eat. I had ordered the Fiesta omelet with potatoes and a side of bacon. The freshness of the vegetables blew my mind. Each bite seemed better than the last. The omelet was so light and fluffy and the seasonings on everything were perfect. My fiancee got the classic pancakes with a side of sausage. Ah, they were fried to perfection. The first bite almost gives that funnel cake taste with the powdered sugar and sweetness from the syrup. We were extremely satisfied with our food. Our waiter was extremely nice, always checking with us to see if anything was needed. The owners both stopped by our table and chatted with us for a while giving us a bit of history of the house that was now their restaurant and also informing us that their nephew had painted quite a few of the paintings they have hanging on the wall. Apparently he took up the brush a little over a year ago, but you'd never know it. The politeness of the staff and owners have definitely made me fall in love with this place. If you're looking for a place to grab an amazing fresh brunch, please please please try this! But do expect a wait because this place appears to always be busy.

Went yesterday for breakfast and it was amazing. Staff is incredibly friendly, food is phenomenal. A few of my favorites: - the lemon drop cocktail...it's made with sake, which is a bit unusual, but it works - Valentine's day pancakes....kinda like a a red velvet pancake. Yum. -Garden omelette...great, fresh veggies plus creamy grits on the side Minus one because it was a bit slow to be seated, but overall I'll be heading there again soon.

Frequenters to Nashville, we were in town for a surprise birthday weekend with friends and were looking for something different than our usual Cracker Barrel indulgence. My husband Googled brunch places and stumbled upon the Garden Brunch Cafe and thank God he did! The restaurant is about a mile off the beaten track from downtown and is well worth the short drive. We arrived, without a reservation, but were greeted by friendly faces and were seated within 10 minutes. The restaurant is an adorable converted bungalow with lots of charm. The walls are filled with local artists' work that is available to buy. We started off with a carafe of mimosas (mix of tropicana and pineapple) that were delish. We ordered the Germantown West Benny, the Fish & Grits, the Banana Foster Pancakes and the Spinach & Feta Omelette. All four were absolutely outstanding and the Fish & Grits, Germantown West Benny and Bananas Fosters Pancakes were favorites of the table. The portions were plentiful and enough to share. The Germantown West Benny and the Banana Foster Pancakes were my absolute favorites -- the walnuts made the dish. The Garden Brunch Cafe was so good in fact, we made a reservation and returned the next day (Sunday) for brunch, again! And ordered the exact same entrees. In addition to delicious food, the service was also outstanding. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful and attentive and the owner/chef even came out to speak with us and thanked us for visiting. True Southern hospitality! The Garden Brunch Cafe will definitely be added to our must-eat-at list, right next to the Stockyard, when visiting Nashville in the future. It's well worth the short drive and is truly a hidden gem!

Amazingly delicious food!!! Everything was freshly prepared and seasoned to perfection. The service was excellent and has been consistent with every visit. Tip: Try to get there when they first open to avoid the wait. The food is most definitely worth the wait! Bananas Fosters Pancakes are a must have. Will definitely keep this place as a mandatory stop when I visit Nashville.

Such a delightful little gem! Went with a few girl friends for a girls' brunch, had such a great time. The place is colorful and very cozy, lots of cute little decorations everywhere. Loved the fireplaces! The food was simply heavenly - Germantown (smoked salmon eggs benedict) was UNbelievable, and the Valentine's day pancakes (red velvet) were probably the best pancakes I've ever had. We had a couple carafes of mimosas (good value!), and tried the new Lemon Drop drink which was sake-based and delicious! But most importantly, the experience wouldn't have been what it was without the people. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, I sort of wish our waiter could've hung out and chatted with us more! And we got to meet Jennifer, who was (aside from being an amazing chef) so adorable and amazing!

Tanya F.

Me and my fiancÃ©e just went here for brunch and it was amazing! I usually order too much food and make him eat my left overs but I cleaned my entire plate. I would have picked it up and licked the plate if I could! We met the chef Jennifer when she came out and asked me if my veggies were seasoned to my liking. I told her they were amazing. My fiancÃ©e asked her to cater our wedding because he loves brunch food. He got the blacked tilapia and cheese grits and scrambled eggs. I got the veggie bowl which was asparagus,spinach,mushrooms and peppers sautÃ©ed in olive oil served over potatoes. For drinks we got sake sunrises their unique take on tequila sunrise with sake instead. They had an impressive variety of morning cocktails and of course mimosas with your choice of fruit flavor. We highly recommend you go to this gem in Nashville, they need more places like this in the city. It has that contemporary but comfy vibe you look for in a place that you go to for the experience as well as delicious food.

All the food and drinks where amazing. But they need a lot of help in the service side of things. We new we would have to wait for a table. But having to wait twenty minutes for your service to take your drink order. It seems lie they had plenty of people at work in the front f the house. But most of them did nothing.

I fell in love with this place the minute I walked in. I had called that morning to make reservations for 10 and was told they could definitely host my birthday brunch. They asked if we could be patient once we arrived since they had never served that big of a group and of course we could. Adam, our waiter, was such a gentleman and has a great spirit! The mimosas (we combined cranberry and orange juice with the champagne) were perfect along with our food. I recommend either of the eggs benedict dishes. I can't wait to go back. It will now be a tradition for me and my girlfriends! Huge thanks goes out to the entire staff for making my celebration perfection and also to Adam and the other waiter for singing to me so beautifully!

Thank you yelpers for sending me to The Garden Brunch CafÃ©. As a visitor to Nashville, the only downside to this place is that I can't eat here every day. Right off the bat, the place is easy to get to, easy parking, clean, organized, great style and atmosphere - I liked it before they even said hello. Then, it only got better. You can tell the staff are very proud of their restaurant as there's no way to tell if the person serving you is an owner, a manager or a waiter? Who knows?! Everyone in the place presents themselves with class and pride ... and rightfully so! It's rare that a dish with all of my favorite things in it still manages to surpass my expectations, but the German West Bennie did just that. Amazing. Great cup of coffee that was never less than half-full. One of the best brunches I've had in my life, in ANY city. So friendly, so delicious, so stylish and comfortable. On top of all that when the check comes you'll feel like you're stealing. Go. Here. Now.

Small place with really good food. However, they need a better system for taking names. We were the 1st of 3 couples to walk in and the last to be put on the list. It wasn't a big deal but aggravating. They need a hostess stand or someone who stays out front continually. The food was fantastic. I ordered the plain French toast with turkey bacon and eggs over medium. All were excellent. My husband had the meat omelet with red potatoes. He could not stop raving about the potatoes!!

Yep.. came here for the bananas foster pancakes I read about and it was everything and more. Everything else we ate was very tasty too.

I brought my parents here for Mother's Day this year after having wanted to come for more than a year. We arrived about 10 minutes before they opened on Sunday morning to make sure we wouldn't have to wait too long. It was a cool and rainy day, but there was room on the porch for us and the people who showed up after to stay dry. By the time the door opened, there were about 12 of us in line. First off, I have to say how gorgeous this place is. I expected a dinky homestyle interior with gingham and fake flowers, and instead I found this gorgeous wood and gray walls with beautiful modern paintings all over. Our waiter was wonderful and so friendly and professional. We all got coffees and had no problems getting refills. When we were ready to order, we ended up all deciding to go with pancakes, even though there were a ton of amazing-sounding menu items. I couldn't resist the Butter Pecan, which both my mom and I got, while my dad went the traditional route. When the food came, it was unbelievable. I was astounded to find that the Butter Pecan pancakes weren't overly saccharine. In fact they were the perfect combination of warm, nutty, slightly sweet goodness. My parents got turkey bacon, which they were super impressed with. Back in my bacon-eating days, this is what I always bought, and I was really glad to see a restaurant using the more lean option. The only thing I wasn't blown away by was the fruit bowl. While it looked good and wasn't just the standard of cantaloupe, honeydew, and grapes, I found that some of the fruit was past ripe and not good (like the strawberries). Overall I'm looking forward to coming back here and was glad to find a new brunch spot. Definitely try it out and listen to everyone's advice: get there early.

Visiting Nashville to tour Vandy with my daughter and thanks to Yelp, we are off to a great start! Butter pecan pancakes, homemade turkey sausage are to die for! Warm family atmosphere with funky art and tasty food, are all the best ingredients for an amazing Sunday brunch. Hope my baby picks Vandy so we can come back for more!

I am in love with this restaurant, and cannot resist the bananas foster pancakes. But the last time I had the Ginger Tea and whoa, it was lovely. I'm tempted to try to make my own combo of sweet tea, ginger ale and lemon but I know it will pale in comparison. Delish.

Excellent service, food and welcoming owners. They greet me everytime I go and ensure my wait is well worth it once I get my food. Love it!

This place was definitely worth the wait! My wife had the Butter Pecan Pancakes and it was delicious. I myself had the fiesta omelet and it was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be coming back.

Pros: If you like rich, buttery grits, they've got it. Pitchers of delicious and potent mimosas (varying flavors), they've got it. Our waiter (on a Saturday early afternoon) was awesome. Meh: Food is fairly decent though I would not want to wait around for 45+ mins for it. Cons: Entry way is awkward and not much room, you feel like you're standing around waiting for your high school date while they get ready. Not much ventilation so at times it was a bit much. **Owner: not impressed with her. I saw her fluttering between ALL of the tables that were occupied with customers, asking them how their experiences were and so forth (and at one point, towing her 2 children with her), which is what you should do! EXCEPT SHE COMPLETELY IGNORED MY TABLE which was smack dab in the middle of the room. I honestly felt discriminated against. I was the only Asian in that room at that point and she never came by my table. I was sitting with two Caucasian males and they even pointed out that they felt she was ignoring me... Thanks for a unique experience maam. Won't be going back ever.

What a delightful brunch! Friendly greetings at the front door, a trained and upbeat wait staff and the perfect garden to table way to start your day! Chef Jennifer and her team know how to put it all together. We travel a lot and we review a lot in different publications but this, my friends, is the real deal. This restaurant is just turning into it's fifth year and it is delightful from the seating to the check. The seating was smoothly managed and the check was surprisingly low! The pecan coffee has a mild and delicious nose that is perfect and not harsh as you often find with hazelnut. The Banana Foster pancakes are decadent and super. The eggs were done to perfection. The home made sausage is...calling us back for more. We've eaten at four of the top five on this list and this little place has no peer.

Came here with a bunch of hungover hungry gals. This place satisfied all the gals except one who may be knocked up and under the weather- long story. Otherwise- phenomenal !!! Highly recommend !

everything was wonderful - staff, food, setting! we got there at just the right time as there was a huge line as we left - only down for me but that's because im a picky eater was the bacon really wasn't bacon. However my normal eating friend had the banana foster pancakes and is in love! you wont regret the choice

The food was good, but the service was incredibly slow and unorganized. When we arrived, we were told there was a wait of 25 min. We put our name in and hung outside with a mass of other people. After about 20 min I couldn't help but notice no one had come out to call anyone in for a table, so I grew concerned that the wait was actually longer. When I went inside to check where we were on the list, I immediately noticed 4 empty tables and a host who wasn't seating anyone. Fortunately, before I was able to get his attention and impatiently inquire about the seating, he called my name. We sat down and were promptly greeted by a waiter who seemed nice, but as the meal proceeded he continually disappeared for 10-15 minute stints - leaving us wondering where he had disappeared to. By the time we finally got our food, we had been sitting at our table for at least an hour. While we waited, it was hard not to overhear others frustrated by their wait and wondering why there were empty tables. As I said in the beginning, once the food actually arrived, it was tasty, but the service alone completely ruined our experience. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

YUM! This was the best brunch I have had the pleasure to enjoy in Nashville so far! My boyfriend and I love going to brunch most weekends and we were tired of the same old places, so I did a quick Google search and came across the Garden Brunch Cafe. I read some reviews and was a little concerned about the wait times that other people were complaining about, but we ultimately decided to give the place a try and I'm so glad that we did! We went this past Sunday and got there at around 11:30 and we were told by the host that our wait would be about an hour. We waited outside with a bunch of other people for a little less than an hour and then we were seated. The dining rooms are very small and because the place was so busy it felt almost claustrophobic but that's what drinking is for, right? I noticed that they offer a variety of mimosas so I opted for the Spongebob, which is a mimosa made with pineapple juice instead of orange juice. It was delicious. I ended up drinking 3 of them and next time I'll probably just order the carafe for $20. But on to the food - it was delicious! I ordered the Germantown West Benny and my boyfriend got the Banana Foster pancakes. Those pancakes are incredibly sweet but they're tasty. They are also very filling - he couldn't finish them. We both got a side of turkey sausage and he also got some scrambled eggs. The turkey sausage was really, really good. They must season it in house and it's the best turkey sausage I've ever had. But my Germantown West Benny was the stuff dreams are made of! It was so incredibly good - it's an eggs benedict with salmon, sauteed spinach and onions on top and wow! It was a delicious explosion of taste in my mouth! My meal also came with a small side of potatoes that were also really, really good. Everything about our meal was outstanding. And last but certainly not least, our server Donald was very prompt and very nice. I've seen some complaints about the service here on Yelp and also on Urban Spoon and I was a little worried but our experience was great. We got refills on our drinks promptly every time and our food came out within 10 minutes and was hot and perfect. Everybody was very pleasant to us, from the host to our wonderful server to the other staff who delivered our food and provided our refills. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my experience and we plan on making a repeat trip very soon.

I was quite pleased with this very inconspicuous hipster breakfast spot in Nashville. Very comfortable atmosphere and the service was very personable and attentive. It has a real down to earth place feel to it, whatever that means. We had the Germantown West Eggs Benedict. It was served a bit room temp but the flavor was above average. I personally would have liked just a little more hollandaise sauce. Also had the Bananas Foster pancakes and they were excellent except be sure to order the syrup on the side if you prefer to not have your cakes drenched. Haha

Heather G.

Food is fresh and delicious! This family business is friendly, gracious, and warm. I really enjoyed our experience and the carafe of mimosas! I would try this place on the weekday first, it is much more relaxed and the staff is able to give you as much attention as you need!

Emily M.

I don't know if was the time of day, or the day itself, but we are sorely disappointed. The hour wait to be seated, we half expected. But we waited a good 15 minutes before anyone came to take our drink orders. It appeared there was one waitress handling all the tables, and while the food was good, I've had better for the price. Overall, food was decent, but overpriced. Service was horrible. I do not recommend this place.

Started with a one hour wait. Okay I get it. It's the weekend and brunch places get busy. Then we get our table. It took 25 mins to even get water. Then it took another 5 mins to get creamer, sugar, and bar drinks. And when I asked someone else for help to get water I got a rude response. The server couldn't answer any questions we had. I asked if they could make a steak Benedict, which isn't on the menu (but they have steak and they have eggs Benedict). One of the chefs came out and asked loudly "okay. who's being difficult here?". I didn't expect to have such a big reaction to what I thought was a simple question. I got an unclear answer and eventually said "nevermind". We get the food and (1) the steak is horribly overdone, (2) the grits weren't seasoned, (3) the omelets ordered weren't seasoned, and (4) one of the omelets was served burnt. No one enjoyed the food. It was bland and boring. After all of the positive reviews read I was expecting more, but I definitely will not be back.

What a hidden gem! We found this place as the Pancake Pantry's line was too long. Located in a non-descript house/building, the french toast is different but in a pleasing way. It doesn't use traditional white bread for the toast. The benedict and grits also are delicious. Good, attentive service and interesting decor. Get there early.

Dee H.

Had brunch here on a Saturday afternoon and it was so loud I couldn't even talk to my friend. When I go out to eat, I want a nice, peaceful, relaxing time. This definitely wasn't it. We seriously couldn't even hear each other talk! Crazy! Sounded like a gymnasium. On top of that, our service was horrible. Took forever to even get water. Had to ask another server. When we finally got our food, the eggs benedict eggs were hard... I love them runny like they are supposed to be. Won't be going back.

Two words: Holy crap! Banana Fosters Pancakes? What??? Double hell yeah on that. I don't even like sweet breakfast but there is no way in hell that I'm passing up Bananas Foster Pancakes. These were the best pancakes I've ever eaten. Hell, this might be the best breakfast I've ever eaten. You! Yeah, you! If you live in, drive through, fly over Nashville you owe it to yourself to visit Garden Brunch Cafe and order the Banana Fosters Pancakes. It makes me hungry writing about them. Oh, the coffee was way better than average and the bloody Mary was too. Just go. Quit reading and go.

Armand H.

Let me first say that all of the "low starred" reviews are mainly about the length of wait and the service. Let's clear this up: if you go to a busy restaurant, don't expect to treated as if you're the queen of England! There's a wait because the food is good! Plain and simple! The service is good. They're just busy trying to accommodate EVERYONE. So get off your high horse and enjoy your company and the food. With that said, the food is AMAZING! I don't eat pork products so it was very refreshing to go to a place that served all turkey meat options. Also the salmon cakes are down right gooood! They remind used me of what my mom used to make at home (I'm from Maryland: home of the crab cake...and of course I needed a crab option). I loved the ginger tea, AND the fruit yea. The banana foster is quite sweet...but who ever heard of banana foster that wasn't?? I highly recommend that you eat here! This place knows brunch!

Followed the yelp reviews and they were spot on. Great food and ambience. Jennifer and Carl, the owners went out of their way to welcome us. We returned two days later! Gluten free pancakes are the best we've ever had.

Katie I.

hmmm...I sooo wanted to love this place. very cute and charming. friendly waitress. several different selections of coffee. kids had the pumpkin pancakes which were just ok- there was too much of a lemony taste to them which does not go with pumpkin. I had the eggs benedict with smoked salmon on top. it was ice COLD! the flavors were good, but hard to tell how it would be had it been hot. food took awhile to come out, so I didn't want to send back with my antsy kids. husband had the fiesta omelet. I thought it would be right up his alley with the zest and salsa, but he didn't care for it. Sadly, won't be back, but we tried it!

This food was good the service was not up to par. perhaps because they are busy. They didn't bring syrup with pancakes and they didn't refill water. They were very nice but there's a lot of waiting.

Lyndi S.

Um, how have I not written a review about this place yet?? I have dreams about their food! Sweet, savory, delicious dreams... The place is basically a gutted, old house, turned classic, tasteful restaurant. It still has the feel of a house, like the comfort of walking into an old friend's house. And the staff there is wonderful. You are immediately greeted by a group of excited, smiling faces. They all set the stage right away to let you know you've come to the right place. After a decent (well-worth it) wait, we were seated near the awesome jazz band who played great music the ENTIRE time. Seriously! As if the atmosphere weren't enjoyable enough, I took one look at my menu and immediately wished I had another stomach. I wanted it all. Why can't I have it all?? Okay, so I chose a savory dish, and boyfriend got a sweet, sugary breakfast, and we both smiled with happiness over every bite. Every doggone bite. Yeah, I said doggone. Did i mention the delicious array of juices and mimosas? And word on the street is that they make a mean Bloody Mary. Could this review be any more ADD?? No! I didn't think so. I'm just so excited about this place, I can't control it! All I know, is that next time I'm going, I'm getting the Fish + Grits, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

I am incredibly annoyed by the idiotic review that gave 1 star to this place without trying the food (due to a waiting line). I am in Nashville for the month without a car (left it in California), so I decided to walk 30 minutes here (and 30 minutes back). Jefferson isn't the prettiest street to stroll, but it shouldn't be a problem during brunch hours on a weekend. Anyway, come before 10:15am or you'll have to wait in line. It gets worse for you if your party is larger than 2. It's a house converted into a restaurant, so the place is very small. The menu itself is only two pages, so there's less variety here than say Pancake Pantry or any of the other usual popular breakfast places. The prices are a bit higher too, but you can browse their menu directly on their website. I only had the Jefferson Street Benny and it was very good. My only disappointment: they took some liberty with their hollandaise sauce. It's not of the classic French recipe or any of the popular varieties, so it was a bit of a sore spot for me. However the sauce itself was not bad, and if you're not a sauce snob then you will most likely find it delicious. I only thought it was pretty good, not as good as the usual French varieties. Roasted potatoes were excellent. I can't complain here since most French cafes use similar herbs. The overall quality of food is excellent. I would rather wait in line here than at Pancake Pantry because of the difference in quality (even though Pancake Pantry is cheaper, which generally appeals to students). If you're going to drink coffee here, try the southern pecan coffee. I tried both available coffee options and the southern pecan, by far, is the better choice. The inferior option tastes like your usual ordinary coffee (not bad, but nothing special). I would come back and if I were to have another positive experience with another dish, I would easily up the review to 5 stars. The hollandaise sauce was a bit of a small thorn, but that's really just me being a sauce snob.

Amazing food & service! I want to go everyday. Oh, the food was very affordable too. A hidden gem in Nashville

Jon S.

Wow! Really did not expect this level of quality! This is probably borderline the best breakfast meal I have ever had! Try the bananas fosters pancakes that are expertly done! Reminds me of my moms from Louisiana! It was like jello where I couldn't feel full from it until it was all gone lol. The Benedict was perfectly cooked! The only minor critique I can give is that the handmade sausage was a little dry and so were the eggs. Absolutely recommend this place to everyone and the people who work there are funny and very accommodating!

Aubrey D.

Boy, is this place a treat! I've gone twice now and am continually refreshed by the jovial atmosphere and fine food. On both occasions, I had the Bananas Foster pancakes which are rich, decadent, yumminess. I've also tasted my husband's Peach & Butter Pecan pancakes--both good but not as exceptional as the Bananas Foster. It's a pricey, yet hearty meal served with eggs and turkey bacon / sausage. I recommend the turkey sausage over the bacon. It also makes you feel a little less guilty about consuming what is surely a huge amount of calories! 2 pancake breakfasts, drinks, tip, etc will run you about 45 bucks. This has become our birthday brunch spot--so worth it on special days! The staff is very warm & welcoming. The co-owner / chef is also very visible, circulating around the tables to greet and check on folks. There is local art on the walls and a stage. Ultimately, this place is a breakfast beacon.

Jason G.

Okay this started as an absolutely terrible experience and is more of a two and a half star review. We were underquoted 20 minutes on our wait time and when we ordered iced coffee from the bar while we waited, we were served some bizarre chocolate milky thing. Awful. The service was friendly but lacked efficiency and consistency. The food however was great. Filling, delicious and well-portioned. Due to the shortcomings and fact we spent a total of 2.5 hours here waiting on the table, the drinks, the food and the check, I don't know that I'll return.

Priya G.

We haven't even gotten our food yet, and my friends and I feel compelled to post. After being told that the wait was 35 minutes, an hour and 25 minutes later, we JUST got seated. There's no sense of urgency, despite them knowing that we had a wedding to attend. We offered to go to a smaller table, and asked a few times how long it would be and were told "just a few more minutes." Had we been given accurate wait times, we would've gone elsewhere. As it stands, we are still debating leaving. No matter how good the food may be, it's probably not going to be worth the poor service.

How have I never been to this place until now? I have lived her for well over a year, and I'm just finding out about Garden Brunch Cafe. What's wrong with me? This is by far the best breakfast joint in town. Shhhh....don't tell anyone about this well kept secret. The restaurant is built into an old house, right next to a fast food joint. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by any and every employee within an eye shot of the front door. Let me tell you, everyone is extremely polite and welcoming. We did have to wait about twenty minutes to get a table, which was almost torture with the smells coming out of the kitchen. My girlfriend and I ordered two plates and split them, in actuality we could have just ordered one, because it was enough food to feed an army. We ordered the Bananas Foster Pancakes and an omelet with a side of grits. If you have a sweet tooth....those pancakes are for you. I cant even describe the flavors, you just need to taste them for yourself. And the grits were better than any grits I have ever had. Creamy and savory. Overall, one of the most delicious dining experiences I have had in Nashville to date. If you are looking for a breakfast place that will leave your taste buds wanting more, Garden Brunch Cafe is your place.

Picture this: 4 automobiles leaving Chicago at 4AM, all headed towards Nashville to see the Parthenon. Picture one of those cars beating everyone else there. Tired, hungry, and albeit a little cranky, the passengers of said car are in need of sustenance. Not familier at ALL with Nashville, out come the iPhones, and it's a race to see who can find some place to eat first. One person lands on a Hardee's (it's a novelty!!!) and the other lands on Garden Brunch Cafe. Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I didn't push to go to Hardee's. We didn't know what to expect at all when we walked in, the restaurant itself looks to be built into a house. Kinda cool? More importantly, though, is the food. Yes... the food. So good. Really, salmon cakes, oh my! Oh my delicious potatoes, would you like to be in my belly? (Did I mention that we had been up since 4AM driving?). Each and every entree that passed us to other patrons looked and smelled delicious. When it was time for our food to arrive, we sat in silence as we inhaled the food. Seriously, nothing ladylike about it. And... I had food left on my plate. Amazing. We joked that if this place was in Chicago they could charge twice as much for the food, and the line would be wrapped around the corner a la Bongo Room or Toast II.

The people who work and run the restaurant were the nicest people I think I ever met. The iced coffee tasted like a chocolate sundae and my turkey sandwich was super tasty. I hope to come back to this little gem next time I visit Tenessee. My parents raved about this place as we were leaving. It was such a positive experience. BTW I ate here in 2011 and wrote the review then. I just realized that yelp did not post it for me. It was really good back then so hopefully I will get a chance to eat there again.

If you're starving... then it probably wouldn't be a good day to check out Garden Brunch Cafe, because you will have to wait. The frustrating part was that there were plenty of open tables, but it just appeared service was slow. I think the back-up was mostly occurring in the kitchen. We waited 30 minutes to be seated, and another 30 minutes before we got our drinks. Again, the place wasn't packed. There were probably 4 servers handling only 8 tables. The redeeming factor, however, was the food. The fish and grits were awesome. The grits had the perfect texture. The blackened tilapia my husband ordered had a great seasoning on it. I ordered the steak and eggs. Caramelized onions topped a steak that was marinated almost to perfection. The roasted potatoes that came with it were also delicious. It had a great kick to them. I thought I needed ketchup, like I do with most breakfast potatoes, but these potatoes didn't even need it. We also got some buttermilk pancakes. They were fluffy and absolutely delightful. All in all, the food was great. The decor is super cute and inviting. Every server, including the owners themselves seemed to be genuinely nice. If they could figure out how to offer a better flow of service, it could be a really successful business. This is a great place to come if you have plenty of time and want to lounge around with your friends. If you're hungry and cranky like I was when I ate there, not a good day to go.

Get there early. They open at nine, we got there at 8:45 and there was already a couple of people in front of us. They opened right at nine and were seated right away... Ordered food by 9:10 and were eating by 9:20am. Awesome banana foster pancakes.... My husband got the steak and eggs (their seasoning was great just a little fatty) but it was good. No complaints here. We were hesitant about the reviews on wait time and service.... But getting there early is the thing to. And service was fast and attentive. Will come back!

Best breakfast in Nashville - or anywhere for that matter! Such a hidden gem outside the downtown area. Family run and such friendly service. Great art and cozy feel. I had the Germantown eggs Benedict - prob the best I have ever had! The grits were amazing as well. My husband had the meat lovers omelette which he also raved about. We split a pumpkin and original pancake on this side, which were yummy too. Visiting from New Jersey, we experienced real Southern charm here! Do not miss out when in Nashville! Great people, great decor, great food! Can't go wrong

Renee H.

The Germantown eggs Benedict was awesome with fresh spinach smoked salmon and capers! The owners are on site, attentive and nice, nice, nice. I even got to sample one of their butter pecan pancakes. To die for. This will definitely be our brunch destination in Nashville. Well worth a wait. Have a spicy Bloody Mary while you wait. Eases the pain!

LaDonna T.

Quaint cafe in a hard to miss location on Jefferson St. I am very impressed!! Great menu ( bottomless mimosas would be nice)!! I had the blackened fish and grits. I'm always hesitant to get blackened in fear of charcoal burnt, but this was amazing! Perfectly seasoned. I can't get over the menu.. Wonderful variety. Came about 1230 on Sunday afternoon.. about a 10 minute wait for table for 2. I will definitely be visiting again!

Nashvillian Yelpers you really let me down with this one. *Service - only men, and while perfectly nice, their timing was all off, as was my order. After a 5 minute discussion about the topping on the pecan pancakes, I was hoping you would remember me when you placed my order, but alas...banana's foster, say what?! I sadly don't touch the things... *Portion - average to small *Coffee - awful...I read french press in some reviews, but that is no longer on the menu *Food - blandish, not bad, just not delectably tasty as we had hoped from all those stellar reviews. *Parking - good luck *Pricing - no one told me were in New York City in Nashville! *Ambiance - quaint, like being at a friend's house

Russell M.

If there is a complaint on this place believe me they are WRONG! Great food and I mean above normal. Nice atmosphere and other restaurants should visit so that they can learn how to treat there patrons. All there food seem great but I had the Germantown West and a short stack of the Banana Foster's. You will be a happy person if you get the chance to start your day off with eating breakfast here.

SCRUMPTIOUS! The best brunch place in Nashville. The wait was well worth it! ... And be prepared to WAIT a good 30 min to an hour! I found this place on yelp (thanks to all the great reviews from my fellow yelpers!) and I've been to marches a few times, but wanted to see if there's another brunch place up to par... and was I happy to have tried this place. The Germantown West Benny, is a must! It's also their specialty. You an taste the fresh ingredients. The oozing eggs were GREAT... I wanted to lick the plate! The banana foster pancakes, another favorite at this place, exceeded all my expectations. I thought it would be too sweet, and the pancakes soaked through in the syrup... however, I was so wrong! The sweetness was on point, and the pancakes stayed fluffy and light all the way to the last bite! They were the most light and fluffy pancakes i've ever had! I wish I can have the recipe! Also, the live music and specialty drinks are just perfect additions to an awesome brunch! Great place, top 5 Nashville restaurant in my opinion.

Kim H.

OUTSTANDING!!!!! OMG Where do I begin?! The amazing Bloody Mary made with sake? The banana foster pancakes? The incredible service?? This place just made my top FIVE! Shout out to the over the top service you get the second you walk in the door and to Malcom - our incredible server! We even got a visit from the chef/owner! REALLY REALLY COOL! Per Malcom's recommendation, I went with the Fiesta Omelet. Home made salsa - incredible presentation and absolutely delicious fluffy egg omelet with a subtle kick to it!!! My husband ordered the banana foster pancakes and they were like nothing I have ever tried before - so yummy! Like and delicious with this amazing creamy topping - you didn't need syrup. I guess this is something more notably made to top ice cream, but the chef created this delicious concoction. They often have live music and it looks like a cool venue for it - unfortunately they weren't playing while we were there. This is in our TOP 5!!

We stopped here while visiting Nashville! The ambiance was excellent. Service was a little slow, waiting about 10 min or so for our Bloody Mary and Spongebob Mimosa. But the wait was worth it - best Bloody Mary ever. We had the veggie omelet and meat omelet - both were excellent.

Great little brunch spot just outside of downtown Nashville, in a strange area next to a Popeye's and a Captain D's! My party and I arrived on a Saturday morning around 11AM; we were told there would be a half hour wait, but we ended up being seated after 15 minutes. The Garden Brunch Cafe made me feel like I was having brunch at a friend's house... possibly because the place is in a little house, or because all of the mugs are mismatched and they gave me a box of tea to choose my tea from. Or maybe because the wait staff treated us like they'd known us for years. All of these things added up to a pleasant experience. And all of us loved our food! I ordered the french toast with berry compote and I'd venture to say it was the best french toast I'd ever had. A lofty but deserving statement. I would also like to mention that they have a pineapple mimosa that they call the "Spongebob." I didn't try it but the fact that such a thing is on their menu makes me happy. I'll definitely try to head back on my next trip to Nashville.

After seeing all the reviews I was super excited to try this restaurant. Our weekend had been less that spectacular with all the traffic headaches around Nashville. My excitement quickly changed upon finding out they didn't have regular milk (only soy) so my little boy couldn't have chocolate milk and they only had turkey products. My kids will completely not thrilled with the turkey bacon. They went as far to saying McDonalds would've been better. I must say I agree. We spent $60 on a breakfast that no one ate. I'm sad, disappointed, and hungry :(

I've been to the Garden Brunch Cafe quite a few times and had pretty good experiences. I haven't quite had the 5 star experience yet. I found out about it while flipping through the Nashville Scene for best unsung hero on brunch. Agreed with that. I started telling my friends about it and no one had ever heard of it. I've taken guests who are visiting Nashville and they have LOVED it. It's getting out now and becoming a regular brunch spot for all the fab brunch goers including myself. Brunch is my favorite meal and I like both savory and sweet things. I've tried the Germantown West Benny. Order this before they run out! I suggest going earlier in the day before they get too busy. One time, my guest and I had to wait for over 20 minutes when there were EMPLTY tables. I am not sure if they were low on staff but that made for an unpleasant beginning. I went and reminded them that we had been waiting for a very long time. Thankfully the service and food made it better and we left happy campers. If you haven't tried this place, do yourself a favor! It's near Germantown which I like because it's fun to go a little out of the way for a fun treat! :)

So delicious! We ate at the bar and talked to the super nice bartender who's family owns it. She told us all about how they started it and made AMAZING drinks. There was so much to choose from on the menu and my friend and I both DEVOURED our food. I can't wait to come back and try something else!!!

I really liked the feel of this restaurant. It was warm, cozy and inviting. We had a to wait about 10 minutes for a table and we got there about 45 mins after they opened. I ordered the fish (blackened) and grits. My friend ordered one of the specials which was strawberries and cream pancakes. She said they were definitely in top 5 best pancakes she has ever had. She received turkey sausage and scrambled eggs. I tried her sausage, I really enjoyed the earthy, herb, fresh flavor. My meal came with scrambled eggs, dry toast, and grits with cheese. Everything was wonderful. I am a savory eater and this definitely satisfied me! Blackened tilapia had a nice bite. Also, coffee was good!

Ok so I've visited GBC twice now, the most recent time was this past Friday. Both visits were AMAZING! On my first visit, which was on a Saturday around 11, I went with a friend who was visiting. I don't know why, but for some reason I like to try out restaurants when friends are visiting. Crazy, but it usually works! Anyway, I had the banana foster pancakes since I had heard so much about them, and its true! Believe the hype people! These things were delicious! The sauce that goes over them......I could drink it straight if I had the "skinny gene". I also had the turkey sausage and scrambled eggs. They were good as well. The sausage had a nice kick to it, which I loved. When we arrived we were told the wait was going to be about an hour. We decided to stay since we could engage in convo and time would surely pass quickly, but the wait was only about 30 min. Keep that in mind....it may not be as long as they say. On my last visit, which was on a Friday around noon, I ordered the Germantown Benny, which is eggs benedict topped with spinach and grilled red onion. It was so good! Actually, it was my first time ever having eggs benedict (Idk how this happened, blame mom lol) and I will definitely have it again. For my side I had the grits, which were good. I guess its kinda hard to mess up grits though. We didnt have a wait at all. We were seated immediately. Service was ok on both visits. On the first visit, it was pretty busy on that day but the server kept forgetting to bring my refill. He was nice and apologetic about it. The service was much better on the 2nd visit. He was very attentive and helpful. GBC is my new go to brunch spot.

Yum yum yum came here for an easter brunch. Of course, there was quite the wait, but it was well worth it. One thing I noted in particular was the kindness of the staff. They were very courteous and happy, which made the experience (especially the wait) much easier. I was just coming off my vegetarianism due to lent and I was glad to have tried their ham as my first meat in many weeks. Excellent atmosphere as well, can't go wrong with this place!

I had the red velvet pancakes (wonderful) and southern pecan coffee (so great!). It's only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I would suggest going right at 9 or 9:30 to avoid a long wait. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They made sure to ask if we had been here before and gave recommendations. The pancakes were amazing and my husband got the cinnamon bun french toast which was also great-the best we've ever had! Lots of food for the price-you get two eggs and a choice of meat with the pancakes and french toast. Great brunch place!

While visiting Nashville, I used my Yelp app to find a good brunch spot near us. Due to all the glowing reviews, I guess it must have been an off-day when I ate here. My group of five waited about 45 minutes for a table outside in the heat. No big deal at all. I am accustomed to waiting for good brunch. Once we sat down, we ordered drinks and food. The drinks took a while to arrive and the food took a very long time. No one ordered anything complicated. Everyone's food arrived but mine. After waiting about 10 minutes, I was told it was coming. I didn't get my super simple egg and cheese sandwich until a good 15-18 minutes after the first person at our table received theirs. And my sandwich was lukewarm! It wasn't bad but the wait was frustrating. Overall, it was mediocre food for an extremely long wait. The only reason I'm giving three stars instead of two is because the location in an old house is charming and the musician performing that afternoon was very good and entertaining and helped to ease the wait time.

My girlfriend and I have eaten here for the first time this past year. We were looking for a good brunch place and boy did this place deliver! We have been a total of 2-3 times now and we will be going back. The food is excellent and there is a lot of it. The staff is some of the friendliest that we have encountered and we usually sit at the small bar area so we can watch them make the excellent mimosas and cocktails while we converse with the servers! I really cannot recommend this place enough! Do yourself a favor and stop by for brunch next weekend!

I don't normally write reviews but I couldn't let this one pass without praising my experience here. OMG, THE BANANAS FOSTER PANCAKES ARE THE BEST PANCAKES I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! So filling and so delectable, these pancakes are for the sweet tooth kind of customer as they definitely feel more desserty but well worth the experience. They came with a side of eggs and turkey bacon or sausage which were also very good. My server was extremely nice and service was excellent. No complaints and I'm excited to make this place one of my regular stops in Nashville. I will definitely need to try their Germantown Benny with salmon on my next stop in!

Rachel J.

Absolutely amazing, service is impeccable. The bananas foster pancakes are incredible, as well as everything else on the menu. They have a few unique takes on eggs Benedict, as well as different flavored mimosas. I liked the pineapple ones the best. Although they do not have pork, their turkey bacon and sausage are both delicious. The staff is very friendly and remembered us every time we came back. The best time to go is when there's live jazz music. Nashville might be known for country, but this is a nice change of scenery. It is pretty quiet when there's not a band playing, so I wouldn't recommend bringing young children here if they can't behave in a restaurant. This is more of a place to bring a date to. Garden Brunch Cafe is my favorite restaurant in Nashville and l will definitely return next time I'm in town.

This is 3 hours of our life we will never get back. The 1 hour wait is understandable. However, once we were seated, it took 15mins for the server to come to our table. It was another 30mins before we got our drinks. They didnt even bring water. Then it was another 35mins after that for us to get our food. Our food also came out one plate at a time over a period of 10mins and half of the plates were cold. Although the food was decent (which is why I gave it one star), we will never waste our time again. The majority of the staff were just standing around moat of the time talking to each other. A little piece of me died today along with half my day.

This family have created something great. Wonderful service, excellent simple menu of superbly cooked food and brunch drinks with a twist. The Bloody Mary with sake instead of vodka is to be ticked off the list. We ate here on a late Saturday morning and there was a 45 min wait. We sat on the deck with coffee and sure enough 45 mins later we were sat down. It was absolutely worth the wait. Genuine, friendly and professional service. Highly recommend this place for brunch if you're in Nashville for even one day.

Roger C.

This place was a great yelp find. We arrived around noon and to my surprise there was no wait. The food was amazing. I ordered the Banana Foster Pancakes and like most people said, it was delicious. It was a little too sweet for me but a very tasty meal indeed. My gf ordered the salmon and it was another delicious dish as well. The salmon was moist, tender and very flavorful and even the sides (asparagus and red potatoes) were just as good as the salmon. Next time I'm in Nashville I'll definitely be going back.

Bob S.

I am sure you already know. The Banana Foster Pancakes are to die for. The Blueberry were not as good, I think they should of added a blueberry compote to the top. The breakfast meats are weak. Turkey everything, not that i am against Turkey ham, it is not the same. I rather they find a real good turkey sausage.

Brunch options have increased dramatically across Nashville, and this is another good one. The food is fresh and well-prepared, and the service is friendly. Parking and the wait are the only things that keep me from going more often.

My family and I tried this Restaurant out since there such great reviews. We thoroughly enjoyed this place. We ordered the Salmon patties that had this amazing honey sauce that goes with it!! Also the fiesta omelette which was very vibrant. All of that paired with Red velvet and Butter pecan Pancakes which were Awesome. We drank the Fruit Tea which aimed to please and was very Refreshing. We will be back!!!

We must have arrived at the absolute worst time on a Sunday morning -- had to wait a Loooooong time for table. The menu was concise but had choices that appealed to everyone in my party. Server was a bit scattered, but it was VERY crowded... Something must have gone awry with our order -- food kept arriving at tables that were seated well after we were -- but, we were not in a hurry and when the food arrived it was quite good. Wait and crowdedness was frustrating, but I'll give 'em another try with an earlier arrival !

We ended up at Garden Brunch Cafe by accident. We were just out of church, had time before I had to catch my plane back to Austin, and wanted a fun Nashville style brunch to kill the time in a fun way. We found GBC on yelp, and the reviews looked good, so off we went. What a treat! My daughter had the scramble with turkey bacon and I had the eggs benedict with turkey ham. Great service from our waitress, excellent coffee and the food was exquisite. We were very impressed, and even more so when the owner came by and was sincerely interested in our experience. Bottom line, put Garden Brunch Cafe on your list to try. Great food, warm & friendly service! I am a fan, and don't miss out on that turkey bacon & ham. Best I have ever had!

This is a really quaint spot that you could by-pass if you're not paying attention. From arrival to food on the table was about 1 hour and 15mins. We weren't happy about that but when you're greeted with such great attitudes and food you forget how long you had to wait. The Butter Pecan (Walnut) Pancakes were great; however, still need some syrup because the butter pecan glaze doesn't really saturate the pancakes. The eggs were okay, you could tell they had been sitting to wait for all the food to come out at once but still good. Turkey bacon is not my thing but it was a good healthy choice alternative. Since other high calorie items are sold why not give pork bacon as an option. The atmosphere was really nice, cozy and clean. I liked that the waiters were well-dressed and very manner-able. From the mini-stage and other reviews it seems GBC has live jazz; that would have been a nice touch. Soft music was in the background, which was cool. I must warn you, when they pop a bottle of champagne they yell this word of some sort that may catch you off-guard. In closing, we will definitely give GBC visit.

The day called for breakfast, so after getting off the road, we stopped here on saturday to get some of the best breakfast the Music City had to offer. After taking in a short wait, we were seated in this busy, bustling house with a lot of charm. After reading up and finding out that the do some things locally grown, I was sold! I ordered the the french toast. She ordered the Bananas Foster Pancakes. The french toast left a lot to be desired, but the Pancakes were the greatest creation on the menu. it did take a minute for the staff to get who was waiting on our table straight, but they got it right. Why the 3 stars? I can put all my eggs in one basket ( or stars in this case) over one menu item. I can get behind the concept of this spot, but I honestly feel like there should be more of a wow factor to this place. on my next visit to see the grandparents, I will see it.

Janelle B.

Three words: Bananas Foster Pancakes My husband and I visited on a Sunday afternoon. It was packed and we had to wait for about 30-45 minutes, but it was definitely worth the wait! I had the french toast and he had the bananas foster pancakes. Needless to say, we switched plates after I had one bite of the pancakes. The fruit tea was excellent, as well as the southern pecan coffee. This is a must for your brunch plans. Great service and great food.

I went for brunch on a sunday and loved it. One of the best brunches I have had in town. I tried the eggs benedict and they were delicious! The sweet tea was a bit too sweet for my taste but still decent. Easy parking and best of all, i didnt have to wait too long for a table.. Perhaps I got there before the church crowd but, I was surprised to be able to sit right away on a Sunday am

I had the Banana Foster! Omg!!!!! Yummy! The mimosas are delicious. I gave them a 4 star because the my ran out of pink lemonade and tilapia but had decent alternatives. I would definitely recommend Garden Brunch Cafe for anyone into town or visiting.

For my girlfriends and I, this was our last day in Nashville, and wanted a good brunch before leaving for the airport. My boyfriend back at home is a huge food nerd and suggested the Garden brunch cafÃ¨! We were greeted by our waiter Alonte, and from the start he made us feel like family! We started our brunch off with some much needed cocktails, and was just the beginning! My girlfriends both ordered the Jefferson Eggs Benedict, I ordered the spinach omelette and to top it off we split the banana foster! When our food arrived, it was nothing but perfection! Since it was my first time in Nashville I had to order the grits! I have never met someone who truly likes grits but let me tell you, I fell in LOVE!!! They had just enough grit and the perfect amount of creaminess! There was so much flavor I think it could change anyone's opinion. The girls LOVED their eggs Benedict and in their words "made them feel complete." The banana foster...speechless! Not only was the food phenomenal the hospitality was some of the best I've ever experienced! If you take a trip to Nashville you have to stop here!

When you find this family owned business nestled next to the Popeyes chicken restaurant, with a line of anxious eaters outside you know that you've found a gem. The food was awesome including the premier dish of banana's foster pancakes which literally overshadowed a very good meal. We also had the breakfast bowl with in house prepared sausage, yum! The steak, eggs and potatoes were seasoned to perfection. Don't miss out on visiting this wonderful establishment.

Leah N.

Quaint little neighborhood restaurant. Nice menu variety with a good balance between healthy options and indulgences (French Toast anyone?) I had the Veggie Bowl and it was delicious. My only qualm is that it feels very overpriced for breakfast. Our bill was almost $40 including tip for 2 people, and that just seems like too much for breakfast.

Debbie A.

A gem of a breakfast place that should be a must for all travelers! Jennifer, the owner, gave us a warm welcome. Her son, Alente, gave us the best service. It's a family run business that serves really delicious food and welcoming hospitality.

Get there early... Like when they first open at 9am. I don't believe many brunch places are worth disrupting your sleep cycle, but if you love smoked salmon Benedict, (which i do.) and pineapple mimosas, this place will be your Jam.
(5)
Raphael R.

Though this place doesn't seem like much from the outside... This place is a gem. I had there French toast (Italian bread) and it comes with eggs (any style), bacon, sausage, or ham. Eggs were really good & there French Toast was great (along with there sausage)! Only reason why I gave it 4 starts is due to it being a small restaurant, the wait times can be long. (30-40mins). Parking is also full most of the times, but that's not a huge problem since there's a Poppies right next door with an empty parking lot ;). Also, there tables can fit a maximum of 4 people. So if you have a party of more than 4, you might not sit next to each other. Over all, great place though. Definitely come and have breakfast here if you're around! :)

Based on everything I had heard I was really excited to try this place out. I'm not quite sure what the hype is - it was okay at best. There was an hour and a half wait on a Sunday - pretty standard of all your awesome brunch spots on a Sunday in Nashville; we were willing to wait for good food. Don't get the coffee - it was comparable to fast food coffee at best. The Spongebob (pineapple mimosa) was room temp and not refreshing at all. I ordered salmon cakes which were just okay, and though the grits were good, there was nothing special about them. Warning - their bacon is lightly seared turkey bacon, not real bacon (wish we would have known before ordering). Toast was barely toasted and dry - I had to ask for jelly. The potatoes were good, as well as the vegetables. I had hoped for so much more after hearing rave reviews. I'd like to hope it was an "off" day.

This morning I read the previous Yelp review on this restaurant which encouraged me to pay them a visit today. The food is sooo good and the staff are very nice. I had the original pancakes, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, grits, toast and a tasty Mimosa. That is the best turkey bacon I've had. My waiter suggested I add some brown sugar to my grits and they tasted great! the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back. They just opened in May so please patronize their business!

Banana foster pancakes are from another planet. The alien spaceship landed on Jefferson street and left behind the recipe for the best pancakes in the universe that have been guarded by Darth Vader for the last 2000 years. Seriously though, amazing food.

Jacob B.

Lets see.. Where to start? We arrived at 11 and left at a little after 1:00, definitely not of our own accord. 45 minute wait at the door. Another 10 for the waiter to show. 10 minutes for drinks to arrive. It was SEVERELY UNDERSTAFFED FOR A SUNDAY BRUNCH RESTAURANT, which is absurd considering the place is downright tiny. Waiter (Tyler) forgot part of the meal, which we never received as not a single waiter bothered to check on us once during the entirety of the meal, even with two empty glasses on the table for the latter half of the meal. The place is filled with smoke to the point your eyes will water and your hair will still smell for a solid 2-3 hours after you leave. Don't bother with the Seabreeze (drink) as it's basically watered down cranberry juice with half melted ice cubes floating in a martini glass (go with the Mimosa as its impossible to mess up). However, the food was very good (the only redeeming quality for the place)! Oh, and not that it makes a huge difference, but although we were really hoping for an outdoor brunch in a garden, there's not even landscaping outside (unreasonable for a place called Garden Brunch Cafe?). No flowers, no patio, no outdoor searing whatsoever. Just a front porch covered end to end with people looking for a place to sit for the nearly hour long wait. Call ahead and see if they take reservations, although I highly doubt it. IMO, save yourself the time, money, and dissatisfaction, and GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE.

Avery F.

The wait staff are incredibly friendly and warm. The french toast is fairly bland. The apple pancakes are yummy, but fairly generic. All of their choices are fairly expensive. The real cardinal sin of Garden Brunch Cafe is the coffee... this ain't bongo java, folks, it's generic flavored coffee. I really want to get behind this place because of the inviting atmosphere and friendly staff, but the cost, food quality, and coffee knock off two stars easily.

Ashley K.

Incredible, attentive staff. Owners and waiter checked on us several times. Food was awesome! Wanted to try everything on menu. One of few places in Nahille that offers turkey bacon!! Grits and pancakes were great too. Never disappointed. Went at 10am on a Sunday. No wait but usually very crowded.

This place is pure brunch magic- everything was so fresh and so delicious. We tried apple pancakes, a variety of omelets, grits, and the benny; everything was fantastic, if I lived in Nashville, I'd be there every weekend. While visiting from Chicago, we went to this place 2 days in a row- the food was just that awesome. The service was wonderful as well, true southern hospitality! We even asked for the pancake recipe and got the secret ingredient! I hope this place is around for a long, long time.

The Garden Brunch Cafe is in a very nice environment with local artist's paintings hanging on the wall. Even though it serves breakfast and brunch, it's definitely a step up from Denny's or IHOP. I ate here for lunch and ordered the salmon salad. I was impressed, thinking that the lunch side of the menu might have been an after-thought, but the salad was prepared with attention to detail. The others with me ordered pancakes, which were enormous. If I had been in the mood for something sweet, I would've chosen the bananas foster pancakes. The Southern Pecan coffee smelled amazing as well. As someone who enjoys breakfast and brunch, I will be back.

I went in for a late breakfast on one Saturday morning since I have heard nothing but good things about this place so I decided why not. The location was not in my favorite part of town. It's run out of a renovated house so it isn't the largest restaurant but it was cozy. Parking is in the back lot which I drove right by it the first time. The local art on the wall reminds me of the restaurants in the arts district in Memphis. There is information on the different artists and some of the pieces were actually pretty interesting. There is a sitting area with some comfortable looking chairs. The furniture in the restaurant portion was a bit worn but hey this is a popular restaurant. A fresh flower on the table with your typical white table cloth. And I just love a place with good service ... at normal restaurants if you are sitting in a particular waiters'/waitress' area none of the other waiters/waitresses will even give you a side glance. It's like you don't exist because they won't get a portion of the tip. After my waiter had gone to check on my order, another waiter saw me and actually checked to make sure that I had everything that I needed. I was almost blown away. The staff seemed genuinely happy to take care of my needs. I also love the idea that they actually serve turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict with the breakfast potatoes. No mimosas for me that morning. I didn't particularly enjoy the salmon that was on top but that's just my personal issue with salmon sometimes but after removing that it was almost perfect but those potatoes were to die for. I want to head back to this place with some close friends on a Sunday for the jazz. I liked it. I'll be headed back.

Troy D.

Unfortunately this was not a good experience. We waited for 50 minutes before we got our drinks. When we finally got our food an hour and ten minutes after being there the order was wrong. When we got the bill, items we never got were on the check. I would have given them one star but the server was friendly despite all the mess ups.

April P.

WORTH THE WAIT incredible food, and incredible service! I'm always finding myself torn between something sweet like pancakes, and something savory like eggs. Which is perfect because eggs, and a breakfast meat (all turkey meats!!) come along with all their pancakes and french toast! I got the special Cinnabon french toast, which was unbelievable! Our waitress Chrissy was also such a genuine lady, and gave us great recommendations. Don't let yourself be scared by the wait, it's a MUST try!!

I had Garden Brunch Cafe for the first time yesterday for lunch and it was amazing! A coworker recommended it because he was shocked that I had never been. He told me to get the pancakes however, I'm a French toast girl and I absolutely fell in love! Along with that my sides were eggs and potatoes and they were equally as delicious as the French toast. This time I had the takeout but I'd love to have the complete dine in experience next time. Breakfast is one of my favorite meals and I'll be going back there more often. Nashville has some of the best local hidden gems and Garden Brunch is definitely one!

Bridget S.

I was super excited to have breakfast here....but a bit disappointed. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing or it was an off morning for them. The family said their meals were OK. I will just say that maybe it was an off day and try again. I had the Broadway ...the eggs were not poached, easy over and very little hollandaise sauce, a bit over priced at $12. The service was ok, Others came in after us and their meals were served before ours. My mother in law enjoyed the Butter Pecan Pancakes and enjoyed them. I wanted to give more stars, but over all a bit disappointing.

Visited Nashville from LA with my family. A large group of us went here for sunday brunch (9 people). I couldn't have been more impressed with the wait staff here. They were so friendly and knowledgable about their food. They made excellent recommendations. The owner even came around to see how our meal was. The decor was creative and very classy. Overall we had an excellent experience and when I'm in town again I'd definitely visit this place. As far as food goes, I had the Banana Foster pancake and it was incredible. The pancakes nice and fluffy and the caramelized bananas plus walnuts were a perfect compliment. Their Ginger Ice tea was really delicious too, be sure to stir it first. My wife had the salmon cakes and I tasted it. It was really really good too.

Christopher M.

The food is delicious and well worth the wait!!! Get a cocktail and wait on the front porch. Try any of the pancakes (all served with eggs), steak and eggs, or blackened fish and cheesy grits. Everything is made fresh and in-house. Ask the owners for their story if you need some inspiration.

We got there right at opening- that would be my recommendation as it fills up fast. The music was a tad loud but they were happy to turn it down a tad. The ginger tea is fantastic! My mom loved the blackened fish and grits, which had a big tilapia filet for the price. The garden omelet was great but I have to say that it was weird to have the veggies folded outside the omelet and not cooked in the eggs. I also wish they served real bacon but certainly understand why they serve turkey ham, bacon, and sausage. The staff was very friendly.

Wow.... Seriously wow. This place got 5 stars for everything. Service, atmosphere, THE FOOD. Oh my goodness the food. The blacked fish and grits and banana foster pancakes. We had brunch and came back as they opened the next morning before heading to the airport. The waiter remember all our orders and drink orders! Have not been the overall impressed in ages. Thank you for the wonderful food.

Nashville's finest - perfection - coffee is delish, mimosa's add to the perfect brunch celebration. I highly recommend the Cinnabun French Toast as Donald our waiter said "life changing". Perfection also fluffy eggs and the best turkey bacon I have ever enjoyed.. We will return again and again. So worth the wait. Dine and be happy love The Garden Brunch Cafe!

This establishment truly is one of the best venues for a quality Nashville Brunch. I want to give this a full 5 stars, but I just wish there was a way that I didn't have to wait 2-3 hours every time I go for breakfast - even when I try to go early enough to beat the crowd. But - it is worth the long waits - imaginative, delicious southern brunch with a twist and excellent service. It's a house that's been around since the early 19th century and there is so much character and charisma in every room and in every item on that menu. It truly is one of Nashville's best. I want to do them a solid by this great review - but I also want everyone to forget it's there so that I can go and it just be me in there everywhere time :) It's a secret I wish I could keep to myself so I could savor it. Alas, that would be doing evil. You won't regret your trip there! Promise.

Excellent place to eat! The mimosas were delicious and reasonably priced. I order the smoked salmon eggs Benedict...so good. The hash browns are well seasoned and melt in your mouth! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Very clean with a friendly wait staff.

I think this is my new favorite brunch place!! Although the wait seemed like forever, literally everything we had was delicious. On our table we got the germantown Benedict, side of banana foster pancakes, meat lovers omelette and a breakfast sandwich. Even the sides of grits and potatoes were amazing.

Rikki L.

I was in Nashville for a first assist lab and I have to say I'm not one to wait for long but man is this place worth the wait! Don't forget to ask for mimosas in the patio if you wait. :) has the French toast sandwich (special) and mom had the strawberry creme pancakes (special). One word......AMAZEBALLS! No seriously it was great! Met Jennifer the owner....love her vision and amazed by her menu! It's a most hot stop on your Nashville trip!

This was the first place my sister and I went to in Nashville. We were hungry and it was within walking distance to where we were staying. I ordered the butter pecan pancakes with the syrup on the side and it was very good. The pecans were plenty and nicely toasted. It went well with the souther pecan coffee but I wished the coffee was a little stronger. I can't remember what my sister had, guess it wasn't that memorable.

This place has inspired me to post my first review on Yelp. This is a very nice, welcoming place. I had the Banana's foster pancakes and my wife had Butter Pecan Pancakes. They were both fantastic. They were thick and fluffy and were served with eggs and a choice of ham, bacon or sausage patties, so come hungry. The wait staff was very attentive and polite. You can tell that they have been trained in customer service. The owners (I assume) greeted guests, many with hugs,and checked with each table to make sure everything was OK. I highly recommend stopping by for breakfast when visiting or driving through Nashville.

Lori R.

My husband and I love to go to the Garden Brunch Cafe on the weekends. I recommend getting there right when they open, as there usually isn't a wait at that point. The last time we were there, we sat there for a while, but no one came to take our order. I finally asked the manager who our waiter would be and told her that the people around us, many of whom arrived after us, had all been waited on. She immediately grabbed someone to take our order, apologized, and bought our first round of mimosas. We really appreciated that they were all so nice about it, and they totally made up for it! Their coffee is AMAZING. I've had the blueberry and butter pecan, and both are wonderful!

If you're looking for a super chill spot off the beaten path but still rocking with local Nashville vibes, this is your spot. Owner checked on us personally to make sure our food and service were exemplary. Family owned. Healthy. Delicious. Just go check it out!

Yum, Yum, Yum!! Food was fantastic and all staff were extremely friendly. We went on a Sunday morning (actually today) and did have to wait for about 45 minutes as some of the other reviews stated. They were happy to serve us up some mimosas and bloody Mary's from the bar area until we got seated. We got the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, fresh spinach and capers...mmmm...and the bananas foster pancakes are a must!! Amazing! Will definitely go back again soon!!

Amber J.

Cute little place. Food is okay. I really enjoyed the potatoes but found the turkey sausage tasted a bit off (I eat turkey sausage for breakfast every weekday morning). The service can be slow. I observed the wait staff greeting and catching up with local customers. It's great they have a local base of customers but lets not forget to wait on other tables :)

Christina K.

The staff here is really friendly and they have a good array of breakfast options. Want something a little healthier? They have little table top signs letting you know what substitutions you can make, something I definitely appreciated.

This is my absolute favorite brunch place in Nashville. Excellent customer service every single time. Their food always tastes so fresh and never disappoints.

The Garden was a wonderful experience. I'm so glad we found this cafe on Yelp. Their mission is to serve fresh food without preservatives or artificial ingredients. They have local sources for their eggs and coffee and nothing is ever deep friend! I had their Cinnabon French Toast and it was the best French toast I've ever had. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone who appreciates a nice atmosphere with wonderful food. Our waitress was very pleasant as well.

Ashley B.

This is by far one of the best restaurants in Nashville. We came on a Sunday afternoon post church and met the enormous brunch crowd. The greeter (the owner) was very pleasant and informed us of a 1 hr wait. My husband went to the bar and purchased a perfectly blended mimosa and butter pecan coffee that was excellent! Once seated (after the wait) our waitress took our order and within 15mins our meal was delivered with perfection. I ordered the steak,potatoes, and eggs with pancakes, my husband had the delicious salmon and grits with eggs... Needless to say, we'll be going back this week. 2 thumbs up. Definitely worth the wait!

I really enjoyed my visit to Garden Brunch Cafe! I came in around 9:15am on Sunday morning, and it was perfect. There was no wait and we got seated immediately. The restaurant is in a very nicely decorated house converted into a restaurant, and we sat in the front room with a fire going next to us. Super cute spot! They have a great menu, and I had trouble deciding what to order. I love that they offer a variety of different mimosas and also will serve them in a pitcher for a whole table. I had the Germantown eggs Benedict with salmon, capers, caramelized onions and spinach. It was excellent. I'd highly recommend this dish, and it seems to be very popular! My dad had the blackberry french toast and it was also great. It was an entire plate full, and he ate every single bite! I had a side of turkey bacon, and it was probably the best I've ever had! Service was good, but it took quite a while for our food to come out and they weren't super busy yet. After we finished eating, we went outside and there was a large group waiting, and from other reviews, it looks common to have a crazy wait and slow food delivery. To be honest, I wouldn't wait over an hour for brunch here. It is very good, but unless it's early or late, I wouldn't stop in. However, I am not one to wait more than 30 minutes for a table unless I can have a cocktail at the bar or somewhere else to relax. There was a very large group of people were standing outside and there aren't any places to sit down.

What a great small restaurant. We had the honer of talking to the owner and her daughter was our waitress. The food was outstanding. I had the Germantown Eggs Benedict and it was exceptionally good. We will definitely be back. What a great family business.

I can sum up the food in one word - YUMMY! This by far is one of the best places I've ever eaten. We did have to wait about 15 minute for a table but now that I've been here I'd wait longer. All the staff is very professional and the owner Jennifer is bubbly and fun and try's to visit every table. And the farm fresh eggs are to die for.

Not impressed by the food at garden brunch. The coffee wasn't flavorful, the red velvet pancakes I ordered tasted like pancakes from a box. The turkey sausage and eggs, however, were very delicious. I will consider giving this place another shot.

Mai H.

I love Garden Brunch CafÃ©, that simple! The staff was genuine, warm and super helpful! I ordered Banana Foster pancakes with eggs and sausage sides. The kitchen was short on ingredients for the homemade sausage, so I was happy anyway to have turkey bacon instead, and man the turkey bacon was gooood! I'm happy that I asked for the pancake sauce on the side instead to dip each piece into that nom-ness. The restaurant is cozy, family atmosphere. If the light was not so dim inside, everything would be just perfect! I shall return.

Ana Q.

The food was very good. I wasn't blown away by my breakfast sandwich, but I appreciate the quality ingredients. The grits were very good. I loved the (original) pancakes. The French Roast coffee is the best cup of coffee I've had all year (excluding lattÃ©s). If I were to go again I'd probably just get coffee and pancakes and leave totally satisfied.

Dean D.

One word..."Outstanding". This place has it all; great food, great service and fine atmosphere. The word is out, so expect a wait to get in for breakfast but the wait is well worth it. Had the Spinach omelette and my wife ordered the Jefferson Street Benny. The omelette was very good and the roasted potatoes were awesome dude! Gotta say though, my wife chose right...the Jefferson was really good. I also need to recommend the Germantown West Benny. I didn't have it, almost ordered it and longed for it when the table next to us had it served up. Boy it looked good. Overall, loved the place...met the hubby and wife team who owned the place and they were just friendly as could be. They lived in the Memphis area for years before relocating to Nashville. If in the Nashville area, you need to check this place out.

Like a few others, this place is great enough to get me to write my first review. Waited about 30 minutes around noon but wasn't too bad. i was told Sunday can be incredibly busy. Wife and I both got the Southern Pecan coffee and it was great. She had the oatmeal, which was pretty good. I had the Bananas Foster and 5 stars isn't enough. Seriously the best pancakes I've ever had. Heard good things about the Germantown from a friend as well. Service here is great as well. Staff is friendly and quick. Hands down the best brunch place I've ever had the pleasure of eating at. Don't miss this!
(5)
Jo B.

I love this place. The food is delicious. The staff is wonderful. Well trained and very professional. Yes, the wait can be long to get in and to get your food but it is so worth it when it comes. I highly recommend the Germantown West Benny or Bananas Foster Pancakes. Amazing!

Rudest people in the area. Plenty of open tables but would not seat me because I was one person. I complained so they Let me sit there taking person after person. Ignored me waiting for me to just go away but I wouldn't. Finally put me in a room by myself. So rude.

Lizzette P.

I have to admit from the outside it looked a bit odd, sort of like no one was home. All of that changed as soon as you walked through the door, someone ran over to greet us and was very friendly and inviting. We were seated almost immediately and were checked on regularly. The food was great! I had the Jefferson St. (Eggs Benedict) and my boyfriend had the breakfast bowl, also great. The potatoes are the best I've ever had. We shared the Banana Foster pancakes and those were just heavenly. I can't say enough how friendly and genuinely sweet everyone was! I will be back on my next trip to Nash! For the food but especially for the great service!

A couple months ago we made the mistake of getting there on a weekend around 10am or so and there was over an hour wait. I was too hungry to wait that long and told the bf we HAD to go back but earlier. Tried again and success!! Got there right when they opened and there was already people starting to file in. Managed to get seated and served very quickly. We both ordered the pancakes. I had the butter pecan and O.M.G... His bananas foster pancakes were good too but those butter pecan ones are the best (in my opinion). The pancakes also come with 2 eggs and a meat. Big fan of them offering turkey sausage and turkey bacon. Go. It's awesome. Just get there early and wear loose pants.

John J.

For over an hour we were told we were next. Watched almost half the restaurant come and go and still no table. No, we didn't pester the staff. Cant speak to the food as we didn't get a chance to try any. The bloody mary's at the bar were average. Sorry, no second chance for this place. Go elsewhere

Kristi O.

Don't come with a party more than 2. When our table of 5 reluctantly asked to speak to the manager after being at out table over an hour without food we were told "well, that's just the way it is with bigger parties." When has a table of 5 been considered a " bigger party"?. No explanation at all just..."well that's the way it is." Well...the way it is I will never bring anyone there again. Awful. Embarrassing

This place is a joke. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that wants to eat breakfast, brunch or lunch on a weekend. We walked into the quaint, remodeled house that is Garden Brunch Cafe. The entryway was packed with people (6-8 people filled the lobby space). I looked for a hostess stand. I looked for a hostess. I looked around. Nobody. A waiting customer said she had seen a hostess. 10 minutes passed. Nothing. Finally, a woman with a clipboard walked in and took our names. She said she'd come back to tell us how long the wait was. While waiting, we noticed busboys and waiters running back and forth, carrying beverages and food, through the waiting area and bar. The set-up of this place is awful. Seeing plates of pancakes and bacon travel past me and into another room was agonizing! A few minutes later, we heard the woman tell another couple it was a 40 minute wait. Maybe. She never came back to us. We went outside (it is HOT in here), sat on the porch and I searched for another breakfast spot on Yelp. We left. Ya'll are crazy for waiting through this madness.

The "it" place for a delicious brunch in Nashville. Located on historic Jefferson St in an eclectic decorated house, Garden Brunch combines familiar breakfast favorites with a flavorful twist and the hospitality of dining a friend's home. I had tried banana foster pancakes and then the omelette on separate visits. Both were awesome! The service was great and the brunch with the wait!

Family owned restaurant with great service! The food is nothing short of amazing! Cannot go wrong with this menu! Bananas foster pancakes, steak and eggs, and mimosas all amazing! Must try!

Martina T.

This was the first restaurant I ate at while on my trip to Nashville. I was not prepared for the amazingness that happened! Since we were a party of 10 we decided to go with two pitchers of mimosas. We ordered the original and also the pineapple mimosa. I preferred the pineapple mimosa just because it was a little sweeter and I tend to like sweet drinks. If you enjoy Bloody Mary's, you will love their version which is made with sake instead of vodka. We were warned before ordering that our food would not come at the same time since we had such a big party. Honestly, that was not a major issue. The staff was very accommodating and the wait time in between when they brought our orders was not long enough for us to notice. I ordered the Germantown West Benny. This was eggs Benedict topped with salmon, spinach, and hollandaise sauce. It also came with a side of potatoes. A friend at my table ordered the Banana Foster Pancakes which were to die for. I'm not a fan of pancakes but even I could not resist these. Someone else at our table ordered the blackened fish with grits. The fish was flavored well and even had a slight kick from the spice. We all loved the food so much that we passed our plates around because we just had to try everything. Overall, this was a pleasant experience since we received phenomenal service and ate delicious food! If I'm ever visiting Nashville again I know where to come for a great meal.

I was in Nashville for the weekend and looking for a nice place to have breakfast. Thanks to fellow Yelpers I found the Garden Brunch Cafe. The restaurant is adorable on the inside with paintings (many done by family of the owner) hung around. The wait staff was very charming and attentive. When the chef (and I believe the owner) heard I had never had grits she promptly brought me a small serving to try. She recommended a meal for me, and for my companion. The experience was fantastic. The food was very good but the service is what I would go back for!

A little slow on the service, but the coffee and brunch menu definitely made up for it! The homemade turkey sausage is delicious! We had it in our breakfast bowls & omelets and was worth the wait! The red velvet pancakes were to die for!

Meagan J.

Their French toast is absolutely amazing! All of their food is locally sourced, and they have several healthy options. The staff was so friendly and the owner even came out to talk to us. The Bloody Mary's are made with sake instead of vodka, which actually makes them even better!

I definitely don't enjoy writing two-star reviews, but my experience here was not a good one (and clearly out of character for them, considering all of the five-star reviews.) Maybe it was an off day, but so many things happened that were inexcusable. My mom, sister and I needed a good brunch before driving five hours back to St. Louis, and I used the Yelp app to find a good spot. Garden Brunch Cafe was close to us and had a ton of glowing reviews, so off we went. The restaurant itself is very cute and has that welcoming "at home" feel. I was put off, however, from the level of smoke in the restaurant that created an annoying haze. Also, their idea of AC was having fans everywhere, which clearly didn't cool things down. Regardless, we were hungry and willing to give it a shot. The service we received was atrocious. After being sat, we watched as three tables received drinks, and we sat there for 20 minutes after ordering ours before we got anything (including water.) The fruit tea we ordered was good and not too sweet, so I was thankful to have that when it got to the table. We ordered our food, and that's when it got even worse. My mom and my sister's food came out, and our server told me she was going to get mine. After sitting there for ten minutes watching my mom and sis eat (they were starving and I told them not to wait for me), she came over to see what we needed since my sister flagged her down. I replied with, "my food?" She got totally flustered and ended up bringing it over... ten more minutes later. She also didn't bring jam and hot sauce like we asked for until we were pretty much done eating. Luckily everything was super affordable or I would have been way more mad. My food was great, too, but the terrible service overshadowed it all. I won't be heading back to this place the next time I'm in Nashville.

This place makes the best mimosas. Every time they pop open a bottle of bubbly the staff shouts "OPA!" It's hilarious! We asked them how many times a day they say OPA and we were told 12-15. Too funny. It's an old converted house. There was a singer guitar player singing Adele among other artist hits. Fab voice. Fab guitar playing. Fab touch. We split an order of French toast and each of us had our own egg dish. It was crowded and there was a wait but it moves quickly and the food is to die for! The most polite and efficient staff ever. Go and enjoy your experience. We loved it!

Kursteen N.

Great food, the service is excellent. The restaurant has a very warm and inviting feel. The manager or maybe it was the owner made it a point to go by every table to check on the guest. We decided to come here when we couldn't get a table at Pancake Pantry. So happy that happened because we would not have found such a wonderful breakfast spot.

Food was great if not highly expensive for breakfast. Including tip (8$) it was $60 for the two of us. Other then that it was awesome.

I had to queue up my old Riri (Rihanna) album "good girl gone bad" whilst getting comfy on my couch to write this review. She has this line on the album's title track that goes something like: "once a good girls gone bad, she's gone forever". Sadly, that's how I feel about this place. I moved to Nashville for grad school almost three years ago, and discovered this (used to be) gem of place, tucked away in the least suspecting of places. A friend raved about the Banana Foster pancakes with such enthusiasm for so long, that I finally pulled myself away from the drudgery of my first year in my phd program to see what all the hype was about. I went in when they still had black diamond as the house band; when i tell you my ear s AND taste buds exploded with glee, i'm NOT exaggerating. Then I read about the story of the owners and fell in love again. Each time I went I found something new to love. It became my go-to place when people from out of town came to visit. But then something happened. I felt like I had been romanced by a man who suddenly decided to take off his mask and show me the real him. See, we connected at Garden Brunch cafe. I had my favorite waiters, and none of the stress of graduate school existed in those walls; it was a refuge. Well, those days are long gone. Before yesterday (which was the final straw for me), I had several run ins with inexperienced staff and a general lack of awareness about customer satisfaction as a verb. An example: I had a young man spill my mimosa on the table and consequently on me and his first reaction was: oh my god, they are going to take this broken glass out of my check. WHAT? First of all, what kind of ship are they running where the staff seem truly petrified to make a mistake? Plates break, no biggie. Just bring me my liquor, you know whatta mean??? I was taken aback at that response, but my sympathy soon turned to rage as he left the table without wiping up the spilled juice and didn't return for FIVE whole minutes!?!?!? WTF??? The thing that was extra maddening to me was the fact that the owner walked by and saw me looking at the juice but decided that the couple who was sitting next to me were more worthy of his attention. He NEVER came over, apologized, assisted with the clean up. You may know good food man, but you don't know people. In a world where the owner had even the smallest clue about people psychology, he would have come over and apologized, helped clean up the juice and said, "let me pour you a drink on me, I hope this doesn't ruin your day". There was nothing of the sort. I left feeling snubbed, but decided that every relationship has a rough patch, I wasn't ready to give up. Well, that was until today. I came in with a party of 12 people which seemed to annoy the new hostess that they have. First of all, I respect that she seems to be enthusiastic about providing more structure to the place but this lady managed to suck all the joy out of the ambiance with her militant approach to customer interaction. She kept on talking about the size of the group and how she didn't want to "overwhelm" our waiter. Um, I am the president of an organization on campus, and let me tell you, we have frequented places with real numbers like 50 or 60 and have been given impeccable service. I'm sorry if I am being insensitive to your waiting staff's feelings, but that sounds like a training issue, not a problem on our part. So they seated us in the front room but separated the tables that were joined "because our party was too big" and took our orders separately which would have been fine if we didn't have to wait 35 mins to even order our drinks. The first table got their food well before the second table, so we found ourselves awkwardly consumed by feelings of table envy. "Man, that water looks good. My throat sure is dry." To their credit, once we were able to order at the second table we got our food and it was GOOD. ....But the food envy was soon displaced as the final 3rd of our party got their food an HOUR later. To their credit, the manager at least came out this time (not the wicked witch of the west, ahem, I mean the hostess) which was nice and agreed to a 50 percent discount. Notice I said "agreed to" not "offered". When we finally were fed and started putting on our coats, they nearly shoved us out of the door. If this were Facebook, this would be the point where I unfriended you GBC. We had a good run, but the romance, it seems, is officially over.

Wow! I have been on a brunch roll lately and this place was awesome and did not disappoint. There was no line when we went around 10 on a Saturday morning-but I caveat that with the fact an unexpected snow had coated the ground and I think the city was still slowly venturing out. Our party of 5 was easily sat after being greeted by the pleasant host who pushed two tables together for us and went over the specials with us. After a quick glance at the menu, I decided on the blackened fish and grits and my husband the banana foster's French toast. Ohmigosh, where do I begin?! 1. I really like the fact they serve 2 eggs your way and a side of meat with the pancakes and French toast. Why more brunch places don't do this I don't know?! I never want just a plate of pancakes. 2. The turkey bacon and sausage was delish! The bacon was thickly sliced and crispy, the sausage Nicely seasoned. 3. The eggs were scrambled just like my mom used to do it (with cheese) and served steaming! 4. The banana foster pancakes- no words can really describe how good they are. I swear the batter had an almost pudding like taste/texture and were just not like any pancakes I've had recently. The whipped cream was a perfect accompaniment to the sweet foster sauce. 5. My fish and grits were great as well, my fish perfectly blackened and served with 2 eggs your way-again a filling yummy meal! The owner also came out to chat with us and make sure everything was great. So glad we were able to enjoy this place before the waiting area started to fill up with patrons about 1030 am.

Delicious, fresh, organic Southern brunch. I had the spinach omelet, and while I loved the eggs, the potatoes were my favorite part. Outstanding! My boyfriend had the special of the day, pumpkin pancakes, which I also tried and enjoyed. Very sweet, if you like sweet breakfast. Overall, loved the vibe and the friendly service. A great spot!

Were back in Nashville and came in again for brunch. We enjoyed a delicious meal. I had a Garden Omelet with grits. My husband had the special which was Berry French Toast. My daughter had Butter Pecan Pancakes. Everything was so delicious. Service and atmosphere is splendid. Thanks for a great meal.

YUMMMM --- We went on Father's Day around 1130 or so, there were packed so we waited about 30 minutes or so. Everything looked sooo good. I got Germantown West Benedict which is your normal benedict topped with smoked salmon. It was great. My fiance had a spinach and sausage omelette, he really enjoyed it.. I really wanted to try banana foster pancakes but I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it so that's going to be my excuse to go back :D. Oh, I also had bloody mary - it's made with sake. I didn't like it at all, so save your money! :)

Ahh - Sunday Brunch! Frankly, there's no better time to seek out and partake of a palate pleasing experience without the rush of other life pressures. Today was just such a day! I must say, the primary reason I selected the Garden Brunch Cafe was a result of some very influencing Yelps! Nothing wrong with that - I'm simply leveraging this whole commitment of time and opinion to my advantage, right? We arrived around 1:15pm (they advertise that they're only open until 2pm - yikes.) Management made every effort to not exclude anyone, but seemed to be sensitive to "locking" the doors at closing time. One risk: The manager openly admitted they had a few large groups that cleaned them out earlier, so we were informed that several of their signature items were gone for the day. (No worries, as there were plenty of other delicious items to choose from.) Lesson learned: arrive earlier! Well, I am pleased to report that the favorable reviews are spot on! I won't repeat or fawn over previously reviews items...Here's the straight skinny: Pluses: - the wait staff was super friendly. - they worked diligently to turn the tables and provide prompt attention. - the meals were fantastic. My wife had the spinach omelet (see picture) and I had the banana foster pancakes (see picture). Both were excellent! - good follow-up attention - No rush to turn the table (despite the time of day) - generous portions - reasonable prices Minuses: - limited parking in the back (maybe hold a dozen cars?). (We parked down the street and walked back.) - appeared to be understaffed. (service was good - as noted above - but there were several empty tables that remained empty; apparently not enough wait staff to service them...) The wait time could be reduced with more staffing. These are small minuses, though. ....the only drawback I really saw was the lack of sufficient wait staff (for the size of the dining area). Still, we only waited about 20 minutes. Bottom line: first rate!!

I have been driving by Garden Brunch for months and couldn't wait to go! I have friends visiting who love to brunch and I knew this would be the place for us! Not only is this the cutest place and that everyone that works there is so welcoming, the food is spectacular! We all ordered the Benedict's, really recommend, but hands down, the banana foster pancakes are out of this world!

Yes!!! The food was delicious. I love that the meat lover is all Turkey product. The turkey sausage was amazing. The bar situation was a bit slow but all in all it was a great experience!

Wow! Great service, very nice staff and their food is just amazing. We arrived shortly after 9am and the place was half full already; 20 minutes later the place was packed and there was already a waiting line.

Terrible, terrible, terrible service. Good food. Waited 1.5 hours to eat. Had to ask for refills EVERYTIME. Feeling neglected. Terrible service. Wish I wasn't so hungry :( The manager or whoever was in charge came out twice to apologize, after we flagged someone down to ask. They said they were going to take care of the check. But upon receiving the check it was only discounted a small percentage. I forget, like 10-20%. Regardless, I wrote this place off

I face the Yelper's conundrum. You find an amazing place and you want to sing about it to the whole world, but then you become worried that you will be waiting a long time for a table. You want to give amazing places all the best accolades and heap the masses upon them so that they remain successful, but you selfishly like that you can walk in and sit down without waiting and it's still kind of quiet. This is how I feel about the Garden CafÃ©. First of all, Nashville, you lack places with great breakfasts. You are starting to come around, but as a northerner sometimes you don't want brunch, you want breakfast. Maybe it's dressed up, maybe it's not, but sometimes you just want a good morning meal. And Garden, you are the new love of my breakfast loving life. First of all you're freaking adorable on the inside, all cute artwork and intimate living-room-like feel. And the service...from the moment you walk in the door, just perfect. Smiling, attentive, helpful people all around. I've seen a lot of people comment on slow service, and I'll be honest in saying I don't mind slow, so long as you're attentive. The servers were honest in saying "I apologize for the wait" or "Can I get you something while you wait?" I appreciate that! They have carafes of mimosas for $20 which is worth it and their French press coffee will cure your exhaustion quickly. And their food was incredible. I had their spinach omelet and it both looked and tasted like they'd wrapped an entire garden up in eggs and put it on my plate. Roasted potatoes that were delicious without being fried into oblivion provided a nice side to me wonderful breakfast. The Garden CafÃ© is only open Friday-Sunday from 9am-2pm. Keep this is mind when planning your visit. It really is a wonderful place, and a big thank you to the staff that provided such a stellar experience.

After reading the reviews, I thought this would be a perfect little spot to grab a bite. It looked small, yet very quaint. However, I must admit, I was more than disappointed. First of all, we asked how long the wait would be and were told no more than 45 minutes. That 45 minutes turned into 95 minutes. After finally being seated, we waited another 5 minutes before anyone took our drink order and by then we were ready to order our food. The spinach omelets Andy, Tiffany and I ordered came out fairly quickly and John's seared salmon followed suit. The omelets were mediocre at best. I can, however, appreciate that you can order the omelets with egg whites and have them prepared in olive oil instead of butter. But that is honestly where it ended for me. The Bananas Foster pancakes were just okay, although Andy loved them. Unfortunately, by the time they came out, I was just ready to leave. A friend of our waiter came by for a visit and we were quickly forgotten. We had to ask twice to receive our pancakes and more than once to get a coffee refill. On top of that, we must have asked for the bill four times. If it weren't for John and Andy enjoying their food, I would have given this place 2 stars. We will be returning to Nashville, but this place will not be on my "be back soon" list.

I brought my parents here for Mother's Day this year after having wanted to come for more than a year. We arrived about 10 minutes before they opened on Sunday morning to make sure we wouldn't have to wait too long. It was a cool and rainy day, but there was room on the porch for us and the people who showed up after to stay dry. By the time the door opened, there were about 12 of us in line. First off, I have to say how gorgeous this place is. I expected a dinky homestyle interior with gingham and fake flowers, and instead I found this gorgeous wood and gray walls with beautiful modern paintings all over. Our waiter was wonderful and so friendly and professional. We all got coffees and had no problems getting refills. When we were ready to order, we ended up all deciding to go with pancakes, even though there were a ton of amazing-sounding menu items. I couldn't resist the Butter Pecan, which both my mom and I got, while my dad went the traditional route. When the food came, it was unbelievable. I was astounded to find that the Butter Pecan pancakes weren't overly saccharine. In fact they were the perfect combination of warm, nutty, slightly sweet goodness. My parents got turkey bacon, which they were super impressed with. Back in my bacon-eating days, this is what I always bought, and I was really glad to see a restaurant using the more lean option. The only thing I wasn't blown away by was the fruit bowl. While it looked good and wasn't just the standard of cantaloupe, honeydew, and grapes, I found that some of the fruit was past ripe and not good (like the strawberries). Overall I'm looking forward to coming back here and was glad to find a new brunch spot. Definitely try it out and listen to everyone's advice: get there early.

Visiting Nashville to tour Vandy with my daughter and thanks to Yelp, we are off to a great start! Butter pecan pancakes, homemade turkey sausage are to die for! Warm family atmosphere with funky art and tasty food, are all the best ingredients for an amazing Sunday brunch. Hope my baby picks Vandy so we can come back for more!

I am in love with this restaurant, and cannot resist the bananas foster pancakes. But the last time I had the Ginger Tea and whoa, it was lovely. I'm tempted to try to make my own combo of sweet tea, ginger ale and lemon but I know it will pale in comparison. Delish.

Pros: If you like rich, buttery grits, they've got it. Pitchers of delicious and potent mimosas (varying flavors), they've got it. Our waiter (on a Saturday early afternoon) was awesome. Meh: Food is fairly decent though I would not want to wait around for 45+ mins for it. Cons: Entry way is awkward and not much room, you feel like you're standing around waiting for your high school date while they get ready. Not much ventilation so at times it was a bit much. **Owner: not impressed with her. I saw her fluttering between ALL of the tables that were occupied with customers, asking them how their experiences were and so forth (and at one point, towing her 2 children with her), which is what you should do! EXCEPT SHE COMPLETELY IGNORED MY TABLE which was smack dab in the middle of the room. I honestly felt discriminated against. I was the only Asian in that room at that point and she never came by my table. I was sitting with two Caucasian males and they even pointed out that they felt she was ignoring me... Thanks for a unique experience maam. Won't be going back ever.

What a delightful brunch! Friendly greetings at the front door, a trained and upbeat wait staff and the perfect garden to table way to start your day! Chef Jennifer and her team know how to put it all together. We travel a lot and we review a lot in different publications but this, my friends, is the real deal. This restaurant is just turning into it's fifth year and it is delightful from the seating to the check. The seating was smoothly managed and the check was surprisingly low! The pecan coffee has a mild and delicious nose that is perfect and not harsh as you often find with hazelnut. The Banana Foster pancakes are decadent and super. The eggs were done to perfection. The home made sausage is...calling us back for more. We've eaten at four of the top five on this list and this little place has no peer.

everything was wonderful - staff, food, setting! we got there at just the right time as there was a huge line as we left - only down for me but that's because im a picky eater was the bacon really wasn't bacon. However my normal eating friend had the banana foster pancakes and is in love! you wont regret the choice

I was quite pleased with this very inconspicuous hipster breakfast spot in Nashville. Very comfortable atmosphere and the service was very personable and attentive. It has a real down to earth place feel to it, whatever that means. We had the Germantown West Eggs Benedict. It was served a bit room temp but the flavor was above average. I personally would have liked just a little more hollandaise sauce. Also had the Bananas Foster pancakes and they were excellent except be sure to order the syrup on the side if you prefer to not have your cakes drenched. Haha

Jessica P.

The food was good, but the service was incredibly slow and unorganized. When we arrived, we were told there was a wait of 25 min. We put our name in and hung outside with a mass of other people. After about 20 min I couldn't help but notice no one had come out to call anyone in for a table, so I grew concerned that the wait was actually longer. When I went inside to check where we were on the list, I immediately noticed 4 empty tables and a host who wasn't seating anyone. Fortunately, before I was able to get his attention and impatiently inquire about the seating, he called my name. We sat down and were promptly greeted by a waiter who seemed nice, but as the meal proceeded he continually disappeared for 10-15 minute stints - leaving us wondering where he had disappeared to. By the time we finally got our food, we had been sitting at our table for at least an hour. While we waited, it was hard not to overhear others frustrated by their wait and wondering why there were empty tables. As I said in the beginning, once the food actually arrived, it was tasty, but the service alone completely ruined our experience. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

YUM! This was the best brunch I have had the pleasure to enjoy in Nashville so far! My boyfriend and I love going to brunch most weekends and we were tired of the same old places, so I did a quick Google search and came across the Garden Brunch Cafe. I read some reviews and was a little concerned about the wait times that other people were complaining about, but we ultimately decided to give the place a try and I'm so glad that we did! We went this past Sunday and got there at around 11:30 and we were told by the host that our wait would be about an hour. We waited outside with a bunch of other people for a little less than an hour and then we were seated. The dining rooms are very small and because the place was so busy it felt almost claustrophobic but that's what drinking is for, right? I noticed that they offer a variety of mimosas so I opted for the Spongebob, which is a mimosa made with pineapple juice instead of orange juice. It was delicious. I ended up drinking 3 of them and next time I'll probably just order the carafe for $20. But on to the food - it was delicious! I ordered the Germantown West Benny and my boyfriend got the Banana Foster pancakes. Those pancakes are incredibly sweet but they're tasty. They are also very filling - he couldn't finish them. We both got a side of turkey sausage and he also got some scrambled eggs. The turkey sausage was really, really good. They must season it in house and it's the best turkey sausage I've ever had. But my Germantown West Benny was the stuff dreams are made of! It was so incredibly good - it's an eggs benedict with salmon, sauteed spinach and onions on top and wow! It was a delicious explosion of taste in my mouth! My meal also came with a small side of potatoes that were also really, really good. Everything about our meal was outstanding. And last but certainly not least, our server Donald was very prompt and very nice. I've seen some complaints about the service here on Yelp and also on Urban Spoon and I was a little worried but our experience was great. We got refills on our drinks promptly every time and our food came out within 10 minutes and was hot and perfect. Everybody was very pleasant to us, from the host to our wonderful server to the other staff who delivered our food and provided our refills. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my experience and we plan on making a repeat trip very soon.

Food is fresh and delicious! This family business is friendly, gracious, and warm. I really enjoyed our experience and the carafe of mimosas! I would try this place on the weekday first, it is much more relaxed and the staff is able to give you as much attention as you need!

Emily M.

I don't know if was the time of day, or the day itself, but we are sorely disappointed. The hour wait to be seated, we half expected. But we waited a good 15 minutes before anyone came to take our drink orders. It appeared there was one waitress handling all the tables, and while the food was good, I've had better for the price. Overall, food was decent, but overpriced. Service was horrible. I do not recommend this place.

Started with a one hour wait. Okay I get it. It's the weekend and brunch places get busy. Then we get our table. It took 25 mins to even get water. Then it took another 5 mins to get creamer, sugar, and bar drinks. And when I asked someone else for help to get water I got a rude response. The server couldn't answer any questions we had. I asked if they could make a steak Benedict, which isn't on the menu (but they have steak and they have eggs Benedict). One of the chefs came out and asked loudly "okay. who's being difficult here?". I didn't expect to have such a big reaction to what I thought was a simple question. I got an unclear answer and eventually said "nevermind". We get the food and (1) the steak is horribly overdone, (2) the grits weren't seasoned, (3) the omelets ordered weren't seasoned, and (4) one of the omelets was served burnt. No one enjoyed the food. It was bland and boring. After all of the positive reviews read I was expecting more, but I definitely will not be back.

Sam L.

What a hidden gem! We found this place as the Pancake Pantry's line was too long. Located in a non-descript house/building, the french toast is different but in a pleasing way. It doesn't use traditional white bread for the toast. The benedict and grits also are delicious. Good, attentive service and interesting decor. Get there early.

Dee H.

Had brunch here on a Saturday afternoon and it was so loud I couldn't even talk to my friend. When I go out to eat, I want a nice, peaceful, relaxing time. This definitely wasn't it. We seriously couldn't even hear each other talk! Crazy! Sounded like a gymnasium. On top of that, our service was horrible. Took forever to even get water. Had to ask another server. When we finally got our food, the eggs benedict eggs were hard... I love them runny like they are supposed to be. Won't be going back.

Two words: Holy crap! Banana Fosters Pancakes? What??? Double hell yeah on that. I don't even like sweet breakfast but there is no way in hell that I'm passing up Bananas Foster Pancakes. These were the best pancakes I've ever eaten. Hell, this might be the best breakfast I've ever eaten. You! Yeah, you! If you live in, drive through, fly over Nashville you owe it to yourself to visit Garden Brunch Cafe and order the Banana Fosters Pancakes. It makes me hungry writing about them. Oh, the coffee was way better than average and the bloody Mary was too. Just go. Quit reading and go.

Armand H.

Let me first say that all of the "low starred" reviews are mainly about the length of wait and the service. Let's clear this up: if you go to a busy restaurant, don't expect to treated as if you're the queen of England! There's a wait because the food is good! Plain and simple! The service is good. They're just busy trying to accommodate EVERYONE. So get off your high horse and enjoy your company and the food. With that said, the food is AMAZING! I don't eat pork products so it was very refreshing to go to a place that served all turkey meat options. Also the salmon cakes are down right gooood! They remind used me of what my mom used to make at home (I'm from Maryland: home of the crab cake...and of course I needed a crab option). I loved the ginger tea, AND the fruit yea. The banana foster is quite sweet...but who ever heard of banana foster that wasn't?? I highly recommend that you eat here! This place knows brunch!

Lyndi S.

Um, how have I not written a review about this place yet?? I have dreams about their food! Sweet, savory, delicious dreams... The place is basically a gutted, old house, turned classic, tasteful restaurant. It still has the feel of a house, like the comfort of walking into an old friend's house. And the staff there is wonderful. You are immediately greeted by a group of excited, smiling faces. They all set the stage right away to let you know you've come to the right place. After a decent (well-worth it) wait, we were seated near the awesome jazz band who played great music the ENTIRE time. Seriously! As if the atmosphere weren't enjoyable enough, I took one look at my menu and immediately wished I had another stomach. I wanted it all. Why can't I have it all?? Okay, so I chose a savory dish, and boyfriend got a sweet, sugary breakfast, and we both smiled with happiness over every bite. Every doggone bite. Yeah, I said doggone. Did i mention the delicious array of juices and mimosas? And word on the street is that they make a mean Bloody Mary. Could this review be any more ADD?? No! I didn't think so. I'm just so excited about this place, I can't control it! All I know, is that next time I'm going, I'm getting the Fish + Grits, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

I am incredibly annoyed by the idiotic review that gave 1 star to this place without trying the food (due to a waiting line). I am in Nashville for the month without a car (left it in California), so I decided to walk 30 minutes here (and 30 minutes back). Jefferson isn't the prettiest street to stroll, but it shouldn't be a problem during brunch hours on a weekend. Anyway, come before 10:15am or you'll have to wait in line. It gets worse for you if your party is larger than 2. It's a house converted into a restaurant, so the place is very small. The menu itself is only two pages, so there's less variety here than say Pancake Pantry or any of the other usual popular breakfast places. The prices are a bit higher too, but you can browse their menu directly on their website. I only had the Jefferson Street Benny and it was very good. My only disappointment: they took some liberty with their hollandaise sauce. It's not of the classic French recipe or any of the popular varieties, so it was a bit of a sore spot for me. However the sauce itself was not bad, and if you're not a sauce snob then you will most likely find it delicious. I only thought it was pretty good, not as good as the usual French varieties. Roasted potatoes were excellent. I can't complain here since most French cafes use similar herbs. The overall quality of food is excellent. I would rather wait in line here than at Pancake Pantry because of the difference in quality (even though Pancake Pantry is cheaper, which generally appeals to students). If you're going to drink coffee here, try the southern pecan coffee. I tried both available coffee options and the southern pecan, by far, is the better choice. The inferior option tastes like your usual ordinary coffee (not bad, but nothing special). I would come back and if I were to have another positive experience with another dish, I would easily up the review to 5 stars. The hollandaise sauce was a bit of a small thorn, but that's really just me being a sauce snob.

hmmm...I sooo wanted to love this place. very cute and charming. friendly waitress. several different selections of coffee. kids had the pumpkin pancakes which were just ok- there was too much of a lemony taste to them which does not go with pumpkin. I had the eggs benedict with smoked salmon on top. it was ice COLD! the flavors were good, but hard to tell how it would be had it been hot. food took awhile to come out, so I didn't want to send back with my antsy kids. husband had the fiesta omelet. I thought it would be right up his alley with the zest and salsa, but he didn't care for it. Sadly, won't be back, but we tried it!

This food was good the service was not up to par. perhaps because they are busy. They didn't bring syrup with pancakes and they didn't refill water. They were very nice but there's a lot of waiting.

Jon S.

Wow! Really did not expect this level of quality! This is probably borderline the best breakfast meal I have ever had! Try the bananas fosters pancakes that are expertly done! Reminds me of my moms from Louisiana! It was like jello where I couldn't feel full from it until it was all gone lol. The Benedict was perfectly cooked! The only minor critique I can give is that the handmade sausage was a little dry and so were the eggs. Absolutely recommend this place to everyone and the people who work there are funny and very accommodating!

Aubrey D.

Boy, is this place a treat! I've gone twice now and am continually refreshed by the jovial atmosphere and fine food. On both occasions, I had the Bananas Foster pancakes which are rich, decadent, yumminess. I've also tasted my husband's Peach & Butter Pecan pancakes--both good but not as exceptional as the Bananas Foster. It's a pricey, yet hearty meal served with eggs and turkey bacon / sausage. I recommend the turkey sausage over the bacon. It also makes you feel a little less guilty about consuming what is surely a huge amount of calories! 2 pancake breakfasts, drinks, tip, etc will run you about 45 bucks. This has become our birthday brunch spot--so worth it on special days! The staff is very warm & welcoming. The co-owner / chef is also very visible, circulating around the tables to greet and check on folks. There is local art on the walls and a stage. Ultimately, this place is a breakfast beacon.

Jason G.

Okay this started as an absolutely terrible experience and is more of a two and a half star review. We were underquoted 20 minutes on our wait time and when we ordered iced coffee from the bar while we waited, we were served some bizarre chocolate milky thing. Awful. The service was friendly but lacked efficiency and consistency. The food however was great. Filling, delicious and well-portioned. Due to the shortcomings and fact we spent a total of 2.5 hours here waiting on the table, the drinks, the food and the check, I don't know that I'll return.

Priya G.

We haven't even gotten our food yet, and my friends and I feel compelled to post. After being told that the wait was 35 minutes, an hour and 25 minutes later, we JUST got seated. There's no sense of urgency, despite them knowing that we had a wedding to attend. We offered to go to a smaller table, and asked a few times how long it would be and were told "just a few more minutes." Had we been given accurate wait times, we would've gone elsewhere. As it stands, we are still debating leaving. No matter how good the food may be, it's probably not going to be worth the poor service.

How have I never been to this place until now? I have lived her for well over a year, and I'm just finding out about Garden Brunch Cafe. What's wrong with me? This is by far the best breakfast joint in town. Shhhh....don't tell anyone about this well kept secret. The restaurant is built into an old house, right next to a fast food joint. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by any and every employee within an eye shot of the front door. Let me tell you, everyone is extremely polite and welcoming. We did have to wait about twenty minutes to get a table, which was almost torture with the smells coming out of the kitchen. My girlfriend and I ordered two plates and split them, in actuality we could have just ordered one, because it was enough food to feed an army. We ordered the Bananas Foster Pancakes and an omelet with a side of grits. If you have a sweet tooth....those pancakes are for you. I cant even describe the flavors, you just need to taste them for yourself. And the grits were better than any grits I have ever had. Creamy and savory. Overall, one of the most delicious dining experiences I have had in Nashville to date. If you are looking for a breakfast place that will leave your taste buds wanting more, Garden Brunch Cafe is your place.

Picture this: 4 automobiles leaving Chicago at 4AM, all headed towards Nashville to see the Parthenon. Picture one of those cars beating everyone else there. Tired, hungry, and albeit a little cranky, the passengers of said car are in need of sustenance. Not familier at ALL with Nashville, out come the iPhones, and it's a race to see who can find some place to eat first. One person lands on a Hardee's (it's a novelty!!!) and the other lands on Garden Brunch Cafe. Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I didn't push to go to Hardee's. We didn't know what to expect at all when we walked in, the restaurant itself looks to be built into a house. Kinda cool? More importantly, though, is the food. Yes... the food. So good. Really, salmon cakes, oh my! Oh my delicious potatoes, would you like to be in my belly? (Did I mention that we had been up since 4AM driving?). Each and every entree that passed us to other patrons looked and smelled delicious. When it was time for our food to arrive, we sat in silence as we inhaled the food. Seriously, nothing ladylike about it. And... I had food left on my plate. Amazing. We joked that if this place was in Chicago they could charge twice as much for the food, and the line would be wrapped around the corner a la Bongo Room or Toast II.

The people who work and run the restaurant were the nicest people I think I ever met. The iced coffee tasted like a chocolate sundae and my turkey sandwich was super tasty. I hope to come back to this little gem next time I visit Tenessee. My parents raved about this place as we were leaving. It was such a positive experience. BTW I ate here in 2011 and wrote the review then. I just realized that yelp did not post it for me. It was really good back then so hopefully I will get a chance to eat there again.

If you're starving... then it probably wouldn't be a good day to check out Garden Brunch Cafe, because you will have to wait. The frustrating part was that there were plenty of open tables, but it just appeared service was slow. I think the back-up was mostly occurring in the kitchen. We waited 30 minutes to be seated, and another 30 minutes before we got our drinks. Again, the place wasn't packed. There were probably 4 servers handling only 8 tables. The redeeming factor, however, was the food. The fish and grits were awesome. The grits had the perfect texture. The blackened tilapia my husband ordered had a great seasoning on it. I ordered the steak and eggs. Caramelized onions topped a steak that was marinated almost to perfection. The roasted potatoes that came with it were also delicious. It had a great kick to them. I thought I needed ketchup, like I do with most breakfast potatoes, but these potatoes didn't even need it. We also got some buttermilk pancakes. They were fluffy and absolutely delightful. All in all, the food was great. The decor is super cute and inviting. Every server, including the owners themselves seemed to be genuinely nice. If they could figure out how to offer a better flow of service, it could be a really successful business. This is a great place to come if you have plenty of time and want to lounge around with your friends. If you're hungry and cranky like I was when I ate there, not a good day to go.

My wife and I stopped in for brunch today and were met by the most gracious, friendliest husband and wife restaurant owners. We sat at the small bar and enjoyed a mimosa and Bloody Mary. Our server, Malcolm, was extremely friendly and very helpful. Like other reviewers, I have to say that the banana foster pancakes were incredible. My wife told me that they were the the most amazing pancakes she had ever eaten (after sampling them from MY plate!). She had a fiesta omelette and she loved it. Truly amazing food and a very cool vibe. What we both loved the most is that this is a family business with GREAT people. I didn't catch their names - but ask the gentleman the story about the history of his building! We'll be back, next time with more friends.

First time here. We are from Chicago, and we love to travel and try food from family owned restaurants. Its always better. I found this restaurant on yelp. The reviews were very impressive. When we arrived We love to aesthetic. The host was a very nice young man. He gave us coffee while we were waiting for a table. After waiting an hour to be seated (which we expected). The service, as soon as we were seated was not what we were expecting. We waited about 17 minutes to order, another 32 minutes to receive our food (which was delicious), the server never came to ask us " How is everything?" and then roughly 15 minutes for our check ( after our plates were cleared from the table, from a bus boy) Overall the food was amazing. The service just needs to be on the same level. We felt ignored

Music was live... standup bass and piano.... Food was really good... had the garden omelette and grits. The grits were perfect! Had a pineapple mimosa, which was very nice. Owner greeted us at the door... waiter was really friendly.

I was in town for the Bears vs Titans game with a few friends. The wait was about 45 minutes on a Saturday morning but well worth it. Great food, great service and most importantly great people. Highly recommend it!

I would not recommend coming here for a hangover cure because the line is so long. I was ready to leave 4 or 5 times just while we were waiting because my headache was so bad... but I'm so glad I didn't! I made the JV mistake of ordering oatmeal which wasn't very good... but the bananas fosters pancakes are incredible and totally compensated for my bad order. ... Probably the best pancakes I've ever had.

What I will say is everyone at this restaurant raved about the food. They said it was amazing and it was worth the wait. They also said the red velvet pancakes were amazing. My experience was very extreme compared to other reviews. My wife and I went to the Garden for Breakfast on Feb 13th at 11am. We waited outside for 2 HOURS! When I called at 10:30am, the hostess said they were completely full and were not taking reservations. If I was a walk in- they said it might be 20-30 mins to get a table. When I got there, she said it could be 45 mins to an hour. As we were waiting, there were many couples and families that were waltzing in with reservations and it was very frustrating. 2 hours later, I asked how long - and she said another 30 mins. I got the hell out of there. Perhaps it was valentines day weekend that causes the busy rush, but no restaurant no matter how good the reviews, was worth 2 hours. It's too bad too because this restaurant has a cozy, nice feel to it with some respectable clientele - in the most run down part of town. Not worth the wait. We went to Dunkin Donuts instead on our walk back to the hotel. Quick TIP: All this place would have to do is serve coffee outside to guests waiting to get in and it would make people a whole lot happier.

Sunday Brunch on the hottest day of the year didn't help their case however, I was disappointed. Waited for an hour for 6 of us to sit down, no problem. Bananas foster pancakes, definitely no problem. Server taking all day to bring us drinks, food, anything...come on girl. Didn't smile or reassure us that anything was coming, which would have made me feel better. Get the pancakes, sit at the bar.

By far the best brunch in town!! Only open on Friday thru Sunday but well worth it. The selection is good for all food types and everything is made fresh to order. The only downfall is the wait because it is made fresh to order it takes some time to get seated and eat. Don't let that discourage you WAIT it is well worth it. If they have it get the Banana Foster Waffle, amazing!! Highly recommend this place!

So the short and sweet of it is - loved the food, the people, and the atmosphere. Didn't have to wait long @ 10am on a Sunday but the parking situation wasn't great. The pancakes rival Pancake Ppantry and LOVED the turkey sausage options, organic eggs and greens. Will be back for more!

Karen M.

I tried this place a while back and the food was just OK, had a nice decor, and found the owners to be very nice. Going through yelp reviews during my recent visit I noticed that GBC had some reviews for breakfast, so I decided to try them again. Glad I did, because the pancakes were good, loved the syrup, and they had turkey sausage. No lattes, but I saw a woman bring her drink with her, so next time I will take her lead. The only thing I would change is that they open on Saturdays & Sundays for breakfast at 7:00am. If they did I would be there every weekend when visiting.

Came across this gem, via Yelp, and what a great decision it was! The wait is a LONG one, BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT! One of the owners greets you, and within about 30-45 minutes you are seated. It is a quiet place, good for groups. They also have purchasable artwork! What is not to love? Upon meeting our waiter, Marcus, I asked him what his favorite pancake was (because if the staff has not eaten there, that is not a good sign) he replied "butter pecan." Here is my breakdown on what I tried: Ginger tea-$3 Jefferson St eggs Benedict w/roasted potatoes $12 SIDE of Butter Pecan Pancakes ( Thanks Marcus!) $8 LOVED it all! I wish I could post pictures for you all. They also have mimosas, bloody Mary, and sangria. The owners are really as nice as they seem! It truly was a great atmosphere, all staff was very, very, nice and helpful! Can't wait for another trip to Nashville, just so I can eat here again!

Good food. Creative menu. Very friendly, but very slow service. Guests were being told it would be an hour wait upon check-in so most left. By the time we were half way through eating more than half of the tables were empty. If I was the owner I would have been pretty upset that so much business was turned away!

Just finished having brunch on a Sunday morning. The wait was long and even once seated there doesn't seem to be a rush in having your food come out. On vacation and not in a hurry we appreciated the ability to linger here for awhile however some of the other patrons seemed irritated. Perhaps they were in a hurry. The pecan coffee was very very good. I ordered the spinach omelet and my husband ordered the banana fosters pancakes. No doubt my husband ordered the better dish! The omelet was good, slightly smaller portion then I was hoping for. The Bananas fosters pancakes were amazing! The other highlight was the grits. We have eaten our way around Nashville and this place is one of the best we've dined at. :-)

We stumbled (googled "Sunday brunch" while at the farmers market) across this great restaurant and couldn't believe our luck. We enjoyed a pitcher of mimosas and amazing variations of eggs Benedict without being rushed. It was relaxing, great food and super nice staff. Clearly they cared about our experience!

Sharon B.

The food was great! So the 2-star rating was from a service prospective only. We got to the restaurant at 1130 and fully anticipated a wait. It was after all Sunday and Father's Day. Finally seated at 1240 and was then a full hour before our food arrived and then rather hap-hazardly. One order came without toast and when we finally asked for it - the entree was almost completely eaten. 1 piece of toast was brought to the table with no butter. Again the food was delicious but after 3 hours for brunch - the food - no matter how great - was diminished by the service. Just awful. Too bad as we wanted this to be a great place for after church brunch. But we won't be back.

This past Sunday my husband and I were on the search for a place to have a niche brunch. I got out my phone and Garden Brunch Cafte came up in my search. This place is fantastic. Owner was so hospitable and eager to please. The wait staff couldn't have been better. This is our every Sunday brunch place for sure. Love it! Best eggs I've ever had. We look forward to trying everything on the menu eventually.

Unbelievable! The best breakfast I have ever had in my life!!!! The atmosphere was quaint and cozy, the staff was delightful and friendly and the food was out of this world. Breakfast is my favorite meal and I always enjoy going out but since moving to the south my breakfast journeys have been sorely disappointing. I found The Garden via Yelp and I am so thankful!!! I don't eat beef or pork so many fudged are out of the realm of possibility for me, but not here! Turkey ham and cheese omelette!! Yum! Boyfriend has turkey sausage fiesta omelette! Yum! And we shared the amazing Bananas Foster pancakes, yum!!! This was the holy grail of breakfast!!!!

Garden Brunch Cafe has the corner market on delicious breakfast and brunch. The best banana's foster pancakes EVER! I just tried the fish n grits for the first time. Well seasoned fish and the grits were cooked to perfection. Mimosas if you so choose to and really good coffee! I look forward to going again very soon... Parking is a little challenging but worth it! GO! You won't be disappointed! Oh! And they have jazz from time to time! A cherry on the cake! Go early on Sundays they are the happenin' spot!

Went on a Saturday morning around 12, small wait of 30 mins.. Had a drink at the bar, everyone was so friendly and the wait went quick! We had the French toast and it was perfect, just like mom made made it! I highly recommend this place. Did I recommend they had live music ?! It was perfect! Thanks everyone!!!

Lauren S.

This gem is my new to-go place for breakfast. Fluffy omelets, fresh pancakes, and eggs benedict ($14) with homemade hollandaise sauce. Mmmm. The french toast has a perfect crispy exterior with a fluffy moist center. The wait was short considering the number of people waiting. The servers were very efficient and polite, and were table flipping extraordinaires. Live music kicked in right before we left and the guy had an incredible range. Totally earned the tip. No outdoor seating today, but they were talking about adding a table outside. Lot is small in the back and I noticed many people parking in the church lot behind. The only thing I do not like is the ginger tea--the ginger ale is too syrupy and overwhelms the tea and lemon.

Dagan B.

i had the gift card and my son was with me so i said why not go the next day again. i am so glad i did. the germantown was really good and the fish and grits were really good if u like spicy and the grits were outstanding again. whats funny is most people would thing there isnt much to grits and there isnt but the quality is just like a steak in a way. some are just better than others. add a little extra of their real butter and wow. and again the banana foster pancakes stole the show. on top of that they are very very friendly. get there early and save on the wait time. ohhh and go as soon as u can :)

Oh why oh why is this place only opened Friday, Sat. and Sunday?!? Somehow the world aligned and I had Friday off and a friend wanted to go to breakfast. First thing came to mind was Garden Brunch Cafe. Lucky for me, no lines what so ever. I had the fiesta omelette and the ginger tea with a side of sausage. The food was awesome. I love the fact that they use locally grown produce and turkey sausage, etc. The service was great, very friendly. Awesome AWESOME place.

Rebekah R.

The Garden Brunch Cafe is a great breakfast and brunch spot. My husband and I went on a Friday morning - and showed up right at 9am. They were a bit slow on the food preparation but I don't think brunch should be rushed anyways. I ordered the banana fosters pancakes, and my husband ordered the french toast. My husband's french toast came out with his side of eggs and potatoes, and they said my pancakes would take a bit longer but brought my side of eggs and potatoes out which was nice. When my pancakes arrived they brought me another hot fresh side of eggs and potatoes so I had a full hot meal which was so thoughtful - given that I had already eaten the potatoes which were delicious. The pancakes are very rich but very tasty and my husband enjoyed his french toast. The service was impeccable and the owners gave us a red velvet pancake to make up for the wait which was delicious.

You can tell that they don't make anything until you order it. Everything is fresh and so good. The omelets are full of vegetables, and the bananas foster pancakes are amazing.

The food we ate was excellent. The bananas foster pancakes are spectacular. My stars primarily represent my opinion of the food and the ambiance, which is charming. However, the wait and the service were substandard. The staff is pleasant but that only carries things so far. We arrived to a clear 'wait' which we were told would be 25 minutes; the wait ended up being an hour. This is a rather significant misjudgment on the part of the staff. Our waiter was pleasant and took our order promptly. And brought coffee and water promptly but 20 minutes later we still had not received the cream & sugar we had requested with the coffee nor had anybody come near our table to re-request it. I attempted to get it from the bar but nobody would help me there either. They are not a well-oiled machine but these things are fixable. Hopefully they will make efforts to do so because it is a gem as far as food.

It's easy to give this place 5 stars. I was in Nashville for a weekend and after eating at all the "As seen on TV" places we'd seen on the Food network we decided we wanted our last meal to be lest touristy. We checked out of our hotel and I found Garden Brunch through the yelp app. We came in and there was a wait. Fine by us, we weren't in a rush. They had some musicians playing jazz. I thought this was a nice touch for a Sunday brunch. When we sat down we were greeted by Malcolm. Malcolm was friendly, attentive, had a personality and made sure we had a great time. He gave us recommendations, answered questions, and in the end him and his lovely smile made our experience great. I think he was a fantastic server. At one point he spilled a pitcher of water. He acted with such poise and respect, even though he hadn't gotten any on us or our food. I ordered the the germantown west benny. As the other reviews have stated, it is Ahhhmazing. I think that a lot of the key to eggs Benedict is yes, the hollaindaise sauce, but also, the ratio of all the ingredients. Each ingredient needs to have the perfect amount or you end up having left over eggs with nothing to add to the fork. Or you don't have enough sauce to dip with, or the yolk overpowers, etc. Well, let me tell you, the ratio at the Garden Brunch Cafe was perfect. The spinach was just so perfectly folded into the flavor profile. They had the right amount of salmon, often times I think people skimp on this part of a salmon eggs Benedict and then you can't even taste it. Well, not this place. Well done guys! In addition, the after I ordered I was looking around I noticed they served fresh croissants so I had them add one to my plate, I was so impressed that they were so fresh and buttery. I highly recommend trying one if you can. My friend had the Bananas Foster pancakes and we ended up eating them together. They were just to die for. We were told my Malcolm that they use vanilla soy milk. Apparently that's the secret ingredient that makes the flab jacks flavorful but not overpowering with sweetness. Anyway, as you can tell, I loved this place.

Banana foster pancakes are from another planet. The alien spaceship landed on Jefferson street and left behind the recipe for the best pancakes in the universe that have been guarded by Darth Vader for the last 2000 years. Seriously though, amazing food.

The Garden Brunch Cafe is in a very nice environment with local artist's paintings hanging on the wall. Even though it serves breakfast and brunch, it's definitely a step up from Denny's or IHOP. I ate here for lunch and ordered the salmon salad. I was impressed, thinking that the lunch side of the menu might have been an after-thought, but the salad was prepared with attention to detail. The others with me ordered pancakes, which were enormous. If I had been in the mood for something sweet, I would've chosen the bananas foster pancakes. The Southern Pecan coffee smelled amazing as well. As someone who enjoys breakfast and brunch, I will be back.

We've been here for brunch four times and each time the service is an issue. Food is excellent and that's what keeps us coming back. But every single time we have a long wait and even after you order, food takes forever. Efficiency definitely isn't their thing. Bus boys were clearing tables by removing two glasses at a time and walking back and forth to the kitchen. Takes too much time to flip tables even when a crowd is waiting. Last time we were there, customers had waited over an hour for a table and there were empty tables available. When we asked the host why they weren't seating people we were told that area was closed because they were short a server. Today we arrived well before closing and the front door was locked. Staff near the back door told us they were closing early for a private party, but agreed to let us in as their last customer. I called before arriving to inquire about the length of the wait. It would have been nice if they had mentioned they were closing early before we headed that way. Staff is extremely nice. Banana fosters pancakes and potatoes are the only reason I keep dragging my boyfriend back. But I know his patience is wearing thin with the Garden Brunch Cafe. Feels good to support local businesses so please, step up the service and we will continue our support. Talented live local music that we enjoyed, as well.

I travel the world for a living. I've had the pleasure of dining in so many countries, towns, and cities. By far, this is tops in the most satisfying meals EVER category!! From the moment you step in the door... Greeted by a smiling face, beautifully painted crimson walls, various pieces of eclectic art, and the intoxicated smell of fresh food, you feel welcome and intrigued. Donald was our host. An amazing person... Full of personality and a great sense of humor! I had the organic spinach omelette and my friend the bananas foster pancakes. We tried each others food. The omelette was fresh and just melted away into my mouth. The potatoes were the best I have ever had in my life... Sorry Michelle(my sister is a chef). The spongebob mimosa (pineapple) carafe added a wonderful relaxation to a Sunday. Topped off by the coffee special of the day, Sofia. I tried a few bites of the Bananas Foster Pancakes... Wow, it was like Christmas!! The chef, Jennifer, came out to introduce herself and ask us how we enjoyed the meal. That is so rare and so appreciated!! The total meal was a bit in the higher side However, I can safely say it is worth every last penny you spend!! Normally, I can find atleast one thing that a restaurant could have done better. With this place, there wasn't one thing I could think of!! Everything was fresh, organic, healthy, fresh made preserves, raw sugar, wheat toast... Just perfection!! Go here, eat here often!! Your mouth and stomach will love you!! To leave here dissatisfied means you are a grumpy poopy pants! This place has charm, class, and direction!! I will most likely go back for lunch before they close at 2pm. Yes, that's right, twice in one day. It's that good!!!!

What a delicious brunch find! And on Saturdays! ( I think it's oh-so-sad that some of the best brunch haunts are only brunchy on Sundays). The Garden Brunch Cafe is tucked away in a little house in the Germantown area surrounded by pathways and (surprise!) garden all along the pathways including both vegetables and herbs based on what I could still recognize when I visited in November. They have plentiful brunch options, including beverages (I enjoyed a delicious mimosa, and they also have bloody marys that are made with sake instead of vodka which gave them a brightness unlike any bloody mary I'd tried before). I sampled a special, the pumpkin pancakes, which were absolutely delicious and exactly what I wanted. Nothing like a pumpkin treat to put you in the mood for fall. My fiance had one of the omelets, and it was fluffy, filled with veggies, and served with turkey sausage and really tasty potatoes. The walls are covered in many sorts of art, which really makes the place feel homey, and our waiter was both nice and attentive. I look forward to returning. I've got more seasonal pancakes to try!

I went here last Saturday morning with my wife. It's always a great sign when the owner greets you at the door. With any breakfast spot I always order my usual..eggs, a meat, potatoes and toast. I went with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. And I love it when a place offers turkey options. The breakfast potatoes were great too. It's all about the fine details here...like when the jelly comes out in a little ramekin instead of those crappy packets. In all...a solid fresh breakfast.

This morning I read the previous Yelp review on this restaurant which encouraged me to pay them a visit today. The food is sooo good and the staff are very nice. I had the original pancakes, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, grits, toast and a tasty Mimosa. That is the best turkey bacon I've had. My waiter suggested I add some brown sugar to my grits and they tasted great! the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back. They just opened in May so please patronize their business!

Caitlin D.

While I got off to a rocky start here (there were various open tables but they wouldn't seat us right away, said they didn't have enough staff to handle all of their open tables), they made a definite fan out of me. This restaurant is on Jefferson St. next to a Popeyes Chicken, so you might not expect such quality. But once you walk in, you know that this is not your run of the mill restaurant. It appears to be a converted house, and they did a fantastic job. Now on to food. The owner gave us little plastic cups to sample the crab chowder, and I had to have a bowl of it, as did my friend. It was perhaps the most exquisite soup I've ever had, no lie. We enjoyed that over a couple mimosas (delicious), and then moved on to the gold. My friend and I both ordered the West Benny (I think that is the name), which consisted of two sides of an english muffin topped with overeasy eggs (perfectly cooked), smoked salmon (high quality), and sauteed spinache. It also came with a side of breakfast potatoes, which are a personal weakness for me because I love those carba-licious taters so. There were also slices of little cherry tomatoes and fruit to top it all off delicately. I smothered every bite in egg yolk and stuffed myself to the gills! This meal made me soooo happy, I came home, took a nap, and smiled as I dreamed of eating it all over again...

If you are in the mood for something a little different for breakfast, then this smaller, family owned restaurant is the place. Great atmosphere, service, and food! A little higher in price than most breakfast type establishments, but well worth it for what you get. We will be going back the next time we are in Nashville!

My first visit to TN, and I read good reviews about the brunch here. I had a particular craving for eggs benedict, so I ordered the one with turkey bacon. Now, I love me some bacon so I was a little wary. Not to worry, it was delicious! The eggs were poached perfectly and the homemade sauce was exactly right. The side of roasted red potatoes were deliciously seasoned and cooked and sopped up the little bit of extra sauce perfectly! The cherry tomato garnish was awesome, I could have done with a few more of those. I will be going back tomorrow, just before I leave town to try the bananas foster pancakes.

The way I found this place was by purchasing a "The Big Deal Nashville" groupon type thing for it. This past Sunday my fiance and I decided to just have a lazy day and go to brunch with a little shopping planned. Driving up to it, it's a little hard to spot. I think everyone drives past it the first time if you haven't been before, but you can turn into the Popeye's Chicken next door and take the back alley to their parking lot. If there aren't any spaces available you can also park at the Church behind it. Now, I had read the reviews ahead of time so I knew to expect a wait, but we didn't mind. My fiancee ordered a classic mimosa to sip while we waited on the porch. Once we got called in to be seated, our eyes scoured the Civil War home. The paintings are definitely an eye catcher (some are for sale). We each ordered a mimosa, my fiancee getting another classic while I went with the tropicana (pineapple juice instead of orange). Delicious! Once I had finished my mimosa I decided to order their Southern pecan coffee. Probably one of the best freshly brewed cups of coffee I've ever had. The smell is enough to make you a fan. Once our food arrived we were definitely ready to eat. I had ordered the Fiesta omelet with potatoes and a side of bacon. The freshness of the vegetables blew my mind. Each bite seemed better than the last. The omelet was so light and fluffy and the seasonings on everything were perfect. My fiancee got the classic pancakes with a side of sausage. Ah, they were fried to perfection. The first bite almost gives that funnel cake taste with the powdered sugar and sweetness from the syrup. We were extremely satisfied with our food. Our waiter was extremely nice, always checking with us to see if anything was needed. The owners both stopped by our table and chatted with us for a while giving us a bit of history of the house that was now their restaurant and also informing us that their nephew had painted quite a few of the paintings they have hanging on the wall. Apparently he took up the brush a little over a year ago, but you'd never know it. The politeness of the staff and owners have definitely made me fall in love with this place. If you're looking for a place to grab an amazing fresh brunch, please please please try this! But do expect a wait because this place appears to always be busy.

Went yesterday for breakfast and it was amazing. Staff is incredibly friendly, food is phenomenal. A few of my favorites: - the lemon drop cocktail...it's made with sake, which is a bit unusual, but it works - Valentine's day pancakes....kinda like a a red velvet pancake. Yum. -Garden omelette...great, fresh veggies plus creamy grits on the side Minus one because it was a bit slow to be seated, but overall I'll be heading there again soon.

Frequenters to Nashville, we were in town for a surprise birthday weekend with friends and were looking for something different than our usual Cracker Barrel indulgence. My husband Googled brunch places and stumbled upon the Garden Brunch Cafe and thank God he did! The restaurant is about a mile off the beaten track from downtown and is well worth the short drive. We arrived, without a reservation, but were greeted by friendly faces and were seated within 10 minutes. The restaurant is an adorable converted bungalow with lots of charm. The walls are filled with local artists' work that is available to buy. We started off with a carafe of mimosas (mix of tropicana and pineapple) that were delish. We ordered the Germantown West Benny, the Fish & Grits, the Banana Foster Pancakes and the Spinach & Feta Omelette. All four were absolutely outstanding and the Fish & Grits, Germantown West Benny and Bananas Fosters Pancakes were favorites of the table. The portions were plentiful and enough to share. The Germantown West Benny and the Banana Foster Pancakes were my absolute favorites -- the walnuts made the dish. The Garden Brunch Cafe was so good in fact, we made a reservation and returned the next day (Sunday) for brunch, again! And ordered the exact same entrees. In addition to delicious food, the service was also outstanding. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful and attentive and the owner/chef even came out to speak with us and thanked us for visiting. True Southern hospitality! The Garden Brunch Cafe will definitely be added to our must-eat-at list, right next to the Stockyard, when visiting Nashville in the future. It's well worth the short drive and is truly a hidden gem!

Amazingly delicious food!!! Everything was freshly prepared and seasoned to perfection. The service was excellent and has been consistent with every visit. Tip: Try to get there when they first open to avoid the wait. The food is most definitely worth the wait! Bananas Fosters Pancakes are a must have. Will definitely keep this place as a mandatory stop when I visit Nashville.

Such a delightful little gem! Went with a few girl friends for a girls' brunch, had such a great time. The place is colorful and very cozy, lots of cute little decorations everywhere. Loved the fireplaces! The food was simply heavenly - Germantown (smoked salmon eggs benedict) was UNbelievable, and the Valentine's day pancakes (red velvet) were probably the best pancakes I've ever had. We had a couple carafes of mimosas (good value!), and tried the new Lemon Drop drink which was sake-based and delicious! But most importantly, the experience wouldn't have been what it was without the people. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, I sort of wish our waiter could've hung out and chatted with us more! And we got to meet Jennifer, who was (aside from being an amazing chef) so adorable and amazing!

Me and my fiancÃ©e just went here for brunch and it was amazing! I usually order too much food and make him eat my left overs but I cleaned my entire plate. I would have picked it up and licked the plate if I could! We met the chef Jennifer when she came out and asked me if my veggies were seasoned to my liking. I told her they were amazing. My fiancÃ©e asked her to cater our wedding because he loves brunch food. He got the blacked tilapia and cheese grits and scrambled eggs. I got the veggie bowl which was asparagus,spinach,mushrooms and peppers sautÃ©ed in olive oil served over potatoes. For drinks we got sake sunrises their unique take on tequila sunrise with sake instead. They had an impressive variety of morning cocktails and of course mimosas with your choice of fruit flavor. We highly recommend you go to this gem in Nashville, they need more places like this in the city. It has that contemporary but comfy vibe you look for in a place that you go to for the experience as well as delicious food.

All the food and drinks where amazing. But they need a lot of help in the service side of things. We new we would have to wait for a table. But having to wait twenty minutes for your service to take your drink order. It seems lie they had plenty of people at work in the front f the house. But most of them did nothing.

I fell in love with this place the minute I walked in. I had called that morning to make reservations for 10 and was told they could definitely host my birthday brunch. They asked if we could be patient once we arrived since they had never served that big of a group and of course we could. Adam, our waiter, was such a gentleman and has a great spirit! The mimosas (we combined cranberry and orange juice with the champagne) were perfect along with our food. I recommend either of the eggs benedict dishes. I can't wait to go back. It will now be a tradition for me and my girlfriends! Huge thanks goes out to the entire staff for making my celebration perfection and also to Adam and the other waiter for singing to me so beautifully!

Thank you yelpers for sending me to The Garden Brunch CafÃ©. As a visitor to Nashville, the only downside to this place is that I can't eat here every day. Right off the bat, the place is easy to get to, easy parking, clean, organized, great style and atmosphere - I liked it before they even said hello. Then, it only got better. You can tell the staff are very proud of their restaurant as there's no way to tell if the person serving you is an owner, a manager or a waiter? Who knows?! Everyone in the place presents themselves with class and pride ... and rightfully so! It's rare that a dish with all of my favorite things in it still manages to surpass my expectations, but the German West Bennie did just that. Amazing. Great cup of coffee that was never less than half-full. One of the best brunches I've had in my life, in ANY city. So friendly, so delicious, so stylish and comfortable. On top of all that when the check comes you'll feel like you're stealing. Go. Here. Now.

Lets see.. Where to start? We arrived at 11 and left at a little after 1:00, definitely not of our own accord. 45 minute wait at the door. Another 10 for the waiter to show. 10 minutes for drinks to arrive. It was SEVERELY UNDERSTAFFED FOR A SUNDAY BRUNCH RESTAURANT, which is absurd considering the place is downright tiny. Waiter (Tyler) forgot part of the meal, which we never received as not a single waiter bothered to check on us once during the entirety of the meal, even with two empty glasses on the table for the latter half of the meal. The place is filled with smoke to the point your eyes will water and your hair will still smell for a solid 2-3 hours after you leave. Don't bother with the Seabreeze (drink) as it's basically watered down cranberry juice with half melted ice cubes floating in a martini glass (go with the Mimosa as its impossible to mess up). However, the food was very good (the only redeeming quality for the place)! Oh, and not that it makes a huge difference, but although we were really hoping for an outdoor brunch in a garden, there's not even landscaping outside (unreasonable for a place called Garden Brunch Cafe?). No flowers, no patio, no outdoor searing whatsoever. Just a front porch covered end to end with people looking for a place to sit for the nearly hour long wait. Call ahead and see if they take reservations, although I highly doubt it. IMO, save yourself the time, money, and dissatisfaction, and GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE.

The wait staff are incredibly friendly and warm. The french toast is fairly bland. The apple pancakes are yummy, but fairly generic. All of their choices are fairly expensive. The real cardinal sin of Garden Brunch Cafe is the coffee... this ain't bongo java, folks, it's generic flavored coffee. I really want to get behind this place because of the inviting atmosphere and friendly staff, but the cost, food quality, and coffee knock off two stars easily.

Ashley K.

Incredible, attentive staff. Owners and waiter checked on us several times. Food was awesome! Wanted to try everything on menu. One of few places in Nahille that offers turkey bacon!! Grits and pancakes were great too. Never disappointed. Went at 10am on a Sunday. No wait but usually very crowded.

This place is pure brunch magic- everything was so fresh and so delicious. We tried apple pancakes, a variety of omelets, grits, and the benny; everything was fantastic, if I lived in Nashville, I'd be there every weekend. While visiting from Chicago, we went to this place 2 days in a row- the food was just that awesome. The service was wonderful as well, true southern hospitality! We even asked for the pancake recipe and got the secret ingredient! I hope this place is around for a long, long time.

Great pumpkin pancakes! Good fish and grits. Relaxed, fun yet classy atmosphere. There was a three piece band playing blues and jazz on sunday morning. The staff was friendly, but the main draw was the food. Can't wait to go back!

I went in for a late breakfast on one Saturday morning since I have heard nothing but good things about this place so I decided why not. The location was not in my favorite part of town. It's run out of a renovated house so it isn't the largest restaurant but it was cozy. Parking is in the back lot which I drove right by it the first time. The local art on the wall reminds me of the restaurants in the arts district in Memphis. There is information on the different artists and some of the pieces were actually pretty interesting. There is a sitting area with some comfortable looking chairs. The furniture in the restaurant portion was a bit worn but hey this is a popular restaurant. A fresh flower on the table with your typical white table cloth. And I just love a place with good service ... at normal restaurants if you are sitting in a particular waiters'/waitress' area none of the other waiters/waitresses will even give you a side glance. It's like you don't exist because they won't get a portion of the tip. After my waiter had gone to check on my order, another waiter saw me and actually checked to make sure that I had everything that I needed. I was almost blown away. The staff seemed genuinely happy to take care of my needs. I also love the idea that they actually serve turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict with the breakfast potatoes. No mimosas for me that morning. I didn't particularly enjoy the salmon that was on top but that's just my personal issue with salmon sometimes but after removing that it was almost perfect but those potatoes were to die for. I want to head back to this place with some close friends on a Sunday for the jazz. I liked it. I'll be headed back.

This place is totally worth the wait! We got there around 10:30am on Sunday morning so it was crowded, but we're really glad we waited! The staff was beyond friendly, and really contributed to an enjoyable experience. Now the food...wow! My husband and I shared an order of the Banana Fosters Pancakes with eggs and turkey bacon, a small stack of the Pecan pancakes, and cheese grits. Don't judge us, we're on vacation and wanted to try it all! And no, we couldn't finish it all, but boy did we sure try! Every bite was scrumptious! I'm not one to write reviews on places often, but this was worthy of a 5-star review! It's a must for an off-the-beaten-path-while-in-Nashville!

Easter morning we adventured out with Mother in tow and came to this lovely restaurant, quite the treat! But..... we waited for our meals for over an hour after we ordered, and then it was barely warm, they discounted the meals but that was just to long. We will be back to give them another try. We had The Jefferson, Banana pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage and all of it was very good regardless of the problems that they were having.

Anna B.

Took 2 hours to be seated. Told us it would be 45 min. Once seated took another hour. Was it worth it...NO! Will never go back. The pecan pancake was very good. BUT the other at our table had mixed reviews. The breakfast bowl was ok,

When you're paying on average $40/couple for breakfast, you expect more. I have been here 3 times and this Sunday was the final strike. 1st visit. After waiting on the list for 1hr 07min with several open tables my party of 3 along with about 20 other customers we basically asked to leave. Due to the staffing situation in the kitchen, we couldn't be accommodated for another hr or two. 2nd trip. Arrived @ 12:15ish on a Sunday. Was seated around 1:30. After 3 attempts to order we were made aware they were "fresh out" of almost half the menu. Only meat left was eggs and turkey bacon. 3rd trip. Arrived Sunday around 11am. Seated around 12. Several open tables the entire wait. Instead of seating u at a table they allow u to crowd in the door or cram onto a small porch to allow the poorly managed kitchen time to catch up on orders. We ordered the Germantown and bananas foster. After waiting over 30min for our food we noticed the table next to us received our exact order. Problem was we ordered 10 min before they were seated. In a nut shell signature dishes are very good but over priced. Service, location/space, management are all horrible. For the price, you can have a much better experience at several other places.

Absolutely enjoyed myself. The fruit tea was amazing. I had the French Toast with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. My husband had the meat omelet (turkey ham, turkey sausage and turkey bacon). So delicious. Jennifer was such a gracious host, checking in on us several times throughout the meal. We went on a Saturday at 1 and waited for about 15 minutes. We will definitely be returning. The live jazz band made the atmosphere even better.

I never actually got to eat here. We showed up and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. After 40 minutes I went in to follow up and was told it would be just a bit, then after 50 minutes I had to follow up, and then after 60 and finally after 70 minutes of waiting. The staff never came out and let us know what was going on. Every time we had to go in and see for ourselves. I really wanted to like this place. We even offered to be served on the patio, because our friends had a flight to catch, but they wouldn't do it. Make a reservation or eat before you go.

We had breakfast here one morning of our Nashville vacation. We were there about ten minutes before they opened, and others were also arriving to start lining up. We waiting about 5 minutes once they opened, and were seated. The place is really tastefully decorated and fun to look around. The menu was very nicely put together with a lot of options. My husband had the bananas foster and it was delicious!! I had an omelet and it was very fresh and tasty. The wait staff was excellent but not overbearing. The owner, we presume, also came to our table and asked about our meals. Very nice place and one we highly recommend!

Came here for an after church Sunday brunch and loved it! It was pretty packed when we arrived, but we found a parking spot and were promptly seated. The ginger tea was lovely- refreshing, not too sweet, love the hint of carbonation from the ginger ale. I like it better than the fruit tea, but that was also tasty. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the Germantown West benedict. Both were superbly tasty- not too heavy, perfect flavor and all components were cooked perfectly. I loved the benedict- the smoked salmon was so delicious. Love the greens, too! My husband is a sucker for any sandwich on a croissant, so the breakfast sandwich was perfect for him. Everything was amazing-food, service, ambiance- we are definitely going back.

I really want to like this place. If I could actually eat here ever I would really, really like this place. The 2 times I have been here the food was pretty damn awesome (banana foster pancakes I still dream about). Unfortunately the other 3 times I have tried to visit in the past year or so I have left unsatisfied because I could not actually get a table here. Now twice this was largely part my own fault, I walked in between 1 and 1:30 on a Sunday when the place closes at 2 and they said they were not taking any more names on their wait list. Wait, you did this twice you ask? Yeah I let enough time go by in between the first and second times to forget about this and I work in the service industry myself so dragging myself out of bed before noon when I worked the night before til 4 is not something I like to do. So got there too late, fair enough I suppose but could you at least be around the front door (there is no host desk here just a sign that says please wait here to be seated/put your name on the list) to tell me this instead of making me wait for 10 minutes and search you out to try to get on said list? The last time attempt I made tho my friend and I arrived well with plenty of time, around 11:30. There were about the same # of people in the lobby and again no one up front to put my name on the list. I looked around the place and there were a handful of tables not sat. I went into the bar area to try to find the wait list/grab a mimosa from the bar and no one really paid me any attention. I did finally see the owner I suppose and put my name on the list after someone who came in behind me. That irked me a good bit. No mention of how long the wait would be but ok. The very next people who asked about adding their name to the list were told they were not taking any more names. All before noon! ??? This along with the empty tables pissed me off enough to take my brunch hunger elsewhere. And that brunch kinda blew. I REALLY want to eat this places banana foster pancakes again sometime, but the lack of organization of this place rubs me the wrong way. Being in the service industry, staff your busy restaurant accordingly and have someone knowledgeable about about wait times up front so you don't have people milling about uninformed, hungry, and unlikely to return to repeat this experience.

You can tell by the layout of this place that they made due with what they had to work with in regards to the space. Only parking is in the back and that is also limited. Seems like chances were taken and are paying off. Got here at 9:00 when they opened on Sunday and was already a few regulars waiting to get in. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive, but not in your face. If you are in a hurry, don't come to here. Food took a while, but in our case was here to visit with friends and get a good meal. In regards to the meal, everybody loved what they ordered. The Turkey bacon surprised me on how good it was. Was not crazy about the eggs benedict with spinach and cappers, because was to rich for my tastes. Would we go back? Heck yes! Good job!

Terra T.

I can't say enough nice things about this place! When we first got there I was so tired and hungry and put out by the lack of parking but by the time we left I had completely forgotten! The waitstaff is top notch! We decided to try and have a seat at the bar area while we waited for a table to open up. While we were standing there, a man (who I believe is the owner) offered to let us sit there! We received excellent service (and conversation!) from there on out. My boyfriend and I started out with mimosas and Bloody Mary to start out with. Their Bloody Mary is made to your liking with sake instead of vodka, which gives it a wonderful flavor! The spice level was perfect. I later tried a pineapple mimosa and ordered an apple cider mimosa. Both were delicious. I ordered the meat lover's omelet, and it was great, but my boyfriend ordered the steak and eggs. The steak was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten!!!! The sauce that came with it was out of this world. I also had the bananas foster pancakes, which tasted just like they came from one of my favorite New Orleans brunch spots. On a personal note, I work a lot. I'm away from home a lot too so the time I get to spend with my loved ones is sacred. I will always remember this brunch because everything about it was percent- our table, the waiters, the owner's attention to us-it all came together to create a lovely experience. We will definitely be returning!!!

Family owned and super friendly service. Hostess was very attentive while we waitedto get into the busy place. Didn't wait long and the porch was very comfortable to talk and wait. Our server, daughter of the owner, was refreshingly kind. The Turkey bacon , turkey ham, turkey sausage were perfect. We three had the banana s foster pancakes with eggs and Turkey bacon, Turkey ham and cheese omelette and the Garden omelette. All were great. Great coffee too. Jennifer, the owner, came and spoke with us ahout her favorite menu items. Nice fresh experience! Thanks!

There are many things to love about this restaurant. From the great service, to the ambience, and most of all the amazing food. My wife and I went for brunch and could not stop talking about it for the rest of the day. We both had the specials. I had the Crab Cake Benny, which was a toasted English muffin with a crab cake on top, with an egg and house made hollandaise sauce, and an excellently seasoned shrimp on top. The potatoes that came with it were perfect. My wife had the mixed berry French toast. The Italian bread was soft and sweet enough that it complemented the mixed berry compote nicely. We had our choice of coffee. French roast, southern pecan, or the special of the day: blueberry cobbler. My wife had the blueberry cobbler which tasted just like the dessert without being overpoweringly sweet. The southern pecan was nutty, roasty and delightful. Our whole experience was fantastic and we can't wait to go back again. Between the numerous sighs of contentment and the sonnet of yummy noises, it must have been very obvious how much we loved the meal.

Sean B.

If you're visiting Nashville and like great food, be sure to stop here. It's a little pricey compared to other breakfast places. However the few $$ more is totally justified if your seeking local flavor with a twist of gourmet. The B&B like atmosphere was spacious and nice change from most restaurants. Service was a bit disjointed, they may have been new, but still friendly and attentive. Otherwise, I'd give 5 stars. Be sure to get there early on the weekends, lines begin to grow and they don't take reservations.

Cassie K.

This place is great! We opted for the egg and cheese crossants with a side of potatoes, but were super jealous of the pancake stacks we saw come out for others. Wish we had known before we ordered, they looked so good! Food and service was great. Make sure you get there early as after 10am there is a long wait. We tried to go back another day after 10am and the parking lot was full!

Cara H.

Oh I really do love this place. I'm so glad my son and I went last Sunday. We had the German town west Benny, an eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, and the bananas foster pancakes. The food was incredible and service was great. For us, the cozy converted house with wooden floors, art on the walls and music playing made our visit just extra special! Oh and the southern pecan coffee..where ya been all my life?! This is a must for when in Nashville.

We went here after hearing great things about all the food. I'm not a huge pancake fan, but heard everything was good. Arrived to a 45min wait and would've left if it weren't for how good the place smelled inside. Ordered their take on a bloody mary(made with sake instead of vodka) and the wife had a sangria. The waitress brought the waters first, but set her tray down on our table and served us our waters, and her other tables' waters...while her tray sat on our table. Once she took the tray up from our table, it left a huge amount of water on the table which she never cleaned up. The drinks we ordered didn't come until about 30seconds before our food arrived(waited for our food for about 10-12min). The bloody mary had an interesting taste, but that got old pretty quick, and overall would've rather had vodka. The wife enjoyed the sangria, but I think the prices were WAY to steep for the 2 drinks served in a white wine glass(I know the sangria is a wine drink, but the amount served is weak). The food, however, is very good. I had the French Toast, which was served with a side of eggs and choice of meat(turkey bacon, turkey sausage and some other turkey meat). The french toast was delicious, very light and the syrup was great. The eggs were scrambled perfectly, soft and fluffy and hot and even the turkey sausage was good. I would've been able to finish my food, I think, had there been better air flow in the restaurant. It was very hot outside and their AC doesn't quite cut it for the relatively small size of of the restaurant. This would've easily been a 1-2 star rating had the food not been so good. But was so uncomfortable I probably won't come back.

This is the best breakfast and lunch restaurant in Nashville. The fish and grits are excellent. Actually, everything on the menu is excellent. The staff is very friendly and professional. Any review saying that this restaurant is not worth going to is a blatant lie!! It is worth waiting in line until you are seated and served. THE BEST BREAKFAST and LUNCH restaurant in Nashville and it is located on historical Jefferson St. On a scale of 1 to 5? 5+

This is the best brunch I have EVER had! I took everyone's recommendation and got the Banana Foster Pancakes...omg. SO DELISH! I would have given the restaurant a 5, but we had some technical difficulties....apparently there was a problem with the pancake batter, so I got my food about 15 minutes after everyone else (and of course everyone tried as hard as they could to wait on me to eat, but it got to be too much to bare...the waiter brought me some grits so they would eat! haha). My friend ordered the salmon...only to find out they were out of salmon, so he got tilapia instead--the main reason he got the fish dish was to try the asparagus (he'd never had them before), but when his dish came out it came with spinach...he doesn't eat spinach. After inquiring about the asparagus, we were told they were out of them. Anyways--all of the food was amazing! Just a few hiccups along the way. And, like everyone said the wait is very long, but it's also very worth it!! **I would say it's not good for groups of more than 4, unless they'll take a reservation, which I doubt they will. It's a very small restaurant, but very eclectic! I loved the hand-painted art

Jake H.

Blackberry French Toast (a special) was e'special'ly stupendous. 1.5 hour wait was not too fun after 1 hour was advertised. Logistics for getting people into the restaurant was clearly wanting, HOWEVER, once seated, the experience from begining to end was seamless- with the chef coming over to check on us. Looks like a place with alot of promise.

Katherine S.

We went on a busy Sunday and only waited about 10 to 15 minutes. You would have no idea that such a charming place could be found next to a popeyes and captain d. Inside the decor was eclectic and featured local artists. The bloody Mary's are made with sake instead of vodka which was very tasty. Good amount of heat without blowing up your mouth. I had the special for the day... crab cake benedict which were mostly crab instead of breading. Delicious! My date had the house signature, Germantown benedict. Very beautiful plating and also well paired ingredients. Preparation was spot on. We sat at the bar and was served by one of the owners (a lovely couple that have been doing this for 5 years now) and we're blown away by the hospitality. I can't wait for my sister to visit so that I can take her here.

Kimberly K.

This may possibly be the best breakfast restaurant ever. The food, staff and ambiance were absolutely delightful. Our table was seated next to the band which was playing jazz music. Even seated next to them, it was not too loud to interfere with breakfast. I ordered the oatmeal, and my girlfriends pancakes and a breakfast sandwich. As we waited we sipped mimosas. Mine was an apple cider mimosa and far better than an original! The oatmeal was cooked perfect and served with fresh fruit, milk, and brown sugar. The breakfast sandwich was cooked perfect and well enjoyed. The pancakes, though, were AMAZING! They tasted like cake. I have never tasted something that good. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Our waiter Malcolm was friendly and struck up conversations with us and the other patrons. The restaurant used to be a house and that's how it felt...like you were enjoying breakfast at a friend's house. My favorite meal of the entire trip!

This is one of those really special places where every aspect of the experience demonstrates the passion of the owners. The food is excellent and puts a nice modern twist on family recipes.

This was the perfect weekend brunch! Discovered it via Yelp, when the Pancake Pantry was swamped. It turned out to be a fortunate glitch in my plan! I had Mimosas, Southern Pecan coffee, the Banana Foster Pancakes (heavenly!) and the turkey bacon. Everything was perfect! Love the small venue, which is cozy, but not too crowded. The service was good and definitely worth the drive to Nashville!

I read the reviews. Cute, converted house near Farmers Market on Jefferson Street. Great food, great service, long wait. We arrived on a Saturday morning a little before 10 and walked right in and got a table and ordered. I really wanted to be blown away like so many other yelpers. Sadly, it was just average, maybe a little better than average, but definitely not the best breakfast in town. Definitely not. First, the coffee needs work. With all the bean roasters around, you'd think it would have some taste. It was weak. Asked for another cup. Same taste. Breakfast arrived. Husband ordered oatmeal with fresh fruit and wheat toast. I ordered their spinach/carmelized onions/feta/cherry tomato omelette (paid a little extra for it to be egg whites) with a side of fresh fruit and wheat toast. The food was hot. Omelette was good, not amazing, but good. Toast was cold. Hate cold toast. Had to ask for butter. Fruit was o.k., nothing special. Oatmeal was hot and tasted fair. Again, I'm sad to report, but nothing amazing. I really wanted to like this place. The staff was very nice, but again, in my book, the food has to be exceptional to earn 4-5 stars and this wasn't. Perhaps if the coffee was stronger, even had some taste and the toast had come out hot, it would have helped. Oh, and the price? A tad high - $22 before a $4 tip. (Side note, the waiter Justin was great.)

Mediocre food. Very pleasant but slow but service. Breakfast meats are only Turkey based. Appreciate the health attempt but I'd prefer to make my own decisions. Loud background music at 11:00am. Really wanted to like this place as I'm looking for a go to brunch stop.

This was a nice little breakfast/brunch location. It's a nice size no too big and not too small and the decor is very welcoming. I tried this place when I was in Nashville for the weekend. I had the Germantown with the potatoes and a couple of mimosas. The good was great!!! I would definitely love to go back again. My fiancÃ© had the blackened fish and grits. It was pretty tasty too, but the highlight of the entire visit where the banana foster pancakes . The butter creme sauce with the bananas and walnuts topped off with a little whipped cream was perfection.

Marisa V.

Came in as it opened. There were people waiting outside, sign of a great place. Was greeted and seated promptly. Three people recommended the banana foster pancakes. So my husband ordered it, he loves it. I had the fiesta omelet with grits. Yummy!! Server recommended I try it with brown sugar. It was fantastic. Will definitely return and recommend to others. Friendly wait staff!!! Love the ambiance too.

My first 5 star rated restaurant. This place is a hidden gem in Germantown. I found this place on Yelp and I was blown away. The BEST banana foster pancakes I have honestly ever had. Actually, the best pancakes, period! You will not be disappointed. The service is always phenomenal. Note: if you're coming on a Sunday, come just before church ends because there is always a long wait.

Unfortunately this was not a good experience. We waited for 50 minutes before we got our drinks. When we finally got our food an hour and ten minutes after being there the order was wrong. When we got the bill, items we never got were on the check. I would have given them one star but the server was friendly despite all the mess ups.

WORTH THE WAIT incredible food, and incredible service! I'm always finding myself torn between something sweet like pancakes, and something savory like eggs. Which is perfect because eggs, and a breakfast meat (all turkey meats!!) come along with all their pancakes and french toast! I got the special Cinnabon french toast, which was unbelievable! Our waitress Chrissy was also such a genuine lady, and gave us great recommendations. Don't let yourself be scared by the wait, it's a MUST try!!

Came in for a birthday brunch with my friend today, she got a free drink and free gluten free pancake because the kitchen accidentally put toast on her plane. Nicest people ever, and the food is amazing.

I went there last year. LOVED IT! Its inside decoration is very cute and homey. Its banana pancake is better than Pancake Pantry's pancakes. Everyone should check it out!

I had Garden Brunch Cafe for the first time yesterday for lunch and it was amazing! A coworker recommended it because he was shocked that I had never been. He told me to get the pancakes however, I'm a French toast girl and I absolutely fell in love! Along with that my sides were eggs and potatoes and they were equally as delicious as the French toast. This time I had the takeout but I'd love to have the complete dine in experience next time. Breakfast is one of my favorite meals and I'll be going back there more often. Nashville has some of the best local hidden gems and Garden Brunch is definitely one!

My family and I were very satisfied with our Sunday morning outing at Garden Brunch. We chose Garden Brunch because first, I've heard great things about this place, and second, it seemed like a "safe" brunch spot, offering both classic and unique dishes. Unlike my mom, sister, and me, my brother and dad prefer the good ole classic dishes over the "creative" and "innovative" dishes. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was helpful and friendly, and the manager (?) was exceptional. She checked up on us once during the meal to see how everything was, and then a second time after we had finished. Being the inquirer of all things food related, I asked her about the restaurant, and she told us all about the place. It was clear that she was passionate about the restaurant and loved sharing a little bit of that passion with her customers. She then asked if any of us had ordered the menu special; none of us had and she insisted that we try it. Five minutes later, she brings out a plate of lemon mint pancakes...and it was on the house! So let's talk food. I got the smoked salmon benedict, and it was really good. My sister got the banana fosters pancakes which were good, but in my opinion too sweet for 10am. I preferred my brother's plain pancakes, which were fluffy and perfect. The lemon mint pancakes, the menu special that the manager brought out to us, was honestly my favorite thing I tried. Onto the sides... I did not at all like the turkey sausage. The roasted potatoes were good and well seasoned. In short, Garden Brunch is worth checking out. Great food, location, and service. FYI's... -I have heard that the wait here gets long. We went about half an hour after Garden Brunch opened and we were seated only about ten minutes after arrival. -The only meat they serve is turkey-based, so turkey bacon, turkey sausage, and turkey ham. My brother is allergic to all bird meats, so had we known this we probably would have gone somewhere else for brunch. He was a good sport about it, and I think the pancakes made up for the fact that he didn't get in his ritual morning protein.

Great food, Great service. The Fish and grits dish was perfect, with the blackened salmon. Great atmosphere, If you are in Nashville it's worth the wait. There is parking lot to the rear (small)...be careful where you park.

We had 4 and were able to sit down within 10 minutes on a Sunday around 10am. The tables seem to turn fast but they have a really bad system for customer seating that they could fix with a little process. We got lucky and got in quick. Fair prices at $10-15 and we got the banana fosters and a breakfast sandwhich. Banana Fosters is amazing as the pancakes melt in your mouth and the sweetness is perfect. Finger licking good! Parking can be a challenge for new people as well as their is a small lot out back and then street parking. The "garden" around the house could use some TLC as well but the food is amazing.

This is back from when I was in Nasheville in April so review is overdue. Absolutely delicious. Their bloody mary is one of the BEST I've had. Just enough of spiciness. We got French toast with a side of egg and bacon, and eggs benedicts that came with roasted potatoes and greens. See my pics! Came here for brunch and had to wait a little. I would go back.

There is a little parking lot behind the restaurant, we managed to get a spot on a Sunday morning but things get pretty busy depending on when you show up. There was a 40 minute wait when we finally put our name in for a party of 4 which is to be expected at any decent brunch place on a Sunday morning. The restaurant itself isn't very big so that's why there is a wait. I was a bit skeptical about the negative reviews about the service but unfortunately they were right. When we were finally seated we had to wait around 10 minutes for anyone to take our drink order, meanwhile other people who were seated around the same time as us were already placing their meal orders. The servers either missed us or forgot about us. When they finally came to get the drink order they took the food order as well. They then came back to double check what I ordered so I figured that all was good in the world. Imagine my surprise when they brought out the wrong thing! So the company that I was with ended up eating part of their food while I was waiting for my actual order to come out. Don't get me wrong, the servers are very nice and friendly, they just make a lot of mistakes! The upside of this place is the food, which was delicious! Everyone that I was with really liked what they ordered, but they said that they don't know if they will ever come back because of the poor service. It's one thing to wait between 40 minutes and an hour for a restaurant with great food AND service, and it's another thing to wait around for so long and receive very poor service. I really hope they step up their game! On top of all of the previously mentioned missteps, when they brought our bill out to us they split them up wrong, three meals on one and only one on the other, makes no sense since we asked for two separate bills. The last nail in their coffin was the fact that their debit/credit card machine was not working. We asked how long it's been out for and they told us that it has been 30 minutes. They never made any of their customers aware of the issue, which is pretty bad since not everyone carries cash with them. Thankfully one of us had cash! Overall a messy, poor experience that was only saved by the quality of the food. Though I doubt that we will be back!

The food is delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. My wife and I came here for breakfast in our 1 year anniversary and couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. we arrived around 1020 and waited about 45 minute, but I promise the wait was well worth it. The service was very kind and courteous. Everything about our experience was top notch. Get here early and often!

Sincere R.

Banana Foster's Pancakes was simply amazing. I literally scrapped the plate. The sauce is so addictive you just want to bottle it up and put it on everything. It's a very intimate setting, so be prepared to wait a little bit trust that it's worth the wait. I've been here a couple times before and every time my only knock on the place has been the service. The staff was extremely friendly but it just takes forever and a day for you to get seated and then it's a bit of wait to get your food. Bright spot today: they under promised and over delivered on estimating the wait time. They initially quoted an hour+ wait time but seated me in only about 30 mins or so and it was a packed house. Food great service can be upgraded a tad...

There's something to be said when a place only is open for 3 out of the 7 days that exist in a week. And be packed. (Fri/Sat/Sun for those who are curious) This place is glorious. Family owned and operated. Organic pro-local. Right by a huge Baptist church with a cute red door to boot. This place covers so many good things that accommodate the many personalities that seem to inhabit Nashville. So back to it being packed. Be prepared to wait a while unless you are lucky enough to either want to try your luck at the bar (tiny little thing but don't knock it). Everyone is so personable and friendly though that even if you wait or service could have been slow (which it wasn't even though it was really a bitter fight to the death for people to secure bar seats) you won't notice. Now the good stuff. If you like your brunches a little boozy, they have a pretty interesting selection. Sake based bloody marys (which I had and can vouch it goes down smooth and spicy, just the way I like it) to cider champagne in addition to the normal brunch fare. Had the Germantown Benedict which was a hearty without being heavy and banana foster pancakes (which I warn you could be a meal in itself but I have no regrets). They make their own caramel sauce that just explodes in flavor with the bananas walnuts and pancakes. I don't even like sweets for brunch typically and I demolished that plate. If you want a great breakfast/brunch, get in line and be prepared to be blown away :)

Wow what a lil gem this place is!!!! Amazing food, short wait time, very hospitable. We were lucky enough to meet the owners, beautiful people!!! 6yrs and counting this lil gem is going strong so grateful to have found this place!!!! This place will always be a stop when we come to town! Thank you to the owners for being so very kind and for having picked a great staff to serve us!!

Outstanding!!!! Great food, great service perfect combination. The Fish and grits dish was perfect, with the blackened salmon. The French toast with butter cream sauce was also excellent and we can't forget about fruit tea. Great atmosphere, If you are in Nashville (over a weekend) it's worth the wait. It's only open on the weekend.

What a great find! Well worth the wait. Small home turned into restaurant. Service was excellent! Everyone was so friendly and just a great casual atmosphere. Servers yell out "OPA!" everytime they pop a champagne cork. Food was delicious. Was in town for an event and would definitely go back!!

First and last time I am coming here. I feel that the restaurant has a responsibility to its patrons to warn about restricted parking areas that are not properly labeled. Thanks for not warning and not providing directions to where your parking lot is located. $130 dollar towing bill on top of okay tasting food. No thanks. Oh and I was told within the hour I was in the restaurant 6 cars were towed.

Tristyn B.

I'd kindof found this place by accident, since the place I'd originally bookmarked for brunch that day didn't have brunch during the week. This ish right here though??? Wow! I wen't with two of my girlfriends and two of us had the salmon cake brunch, while the other had the Bananas Foster pancakes (trust me when I tell you that you definitely wanna get that). Everything was really good and well presented, the server was nice and oh-so-helpful in recommending places for us to visit, and as an added bonus they play GREAT music (Motown hits, anyone?). The space itself is also really cute. It looks like it used to be an old house, so amid the very commercial area where its located it can be VERY easy to miss if you've never been before. The parking behind the space can be kindof a bitch if they're packed (which they are on the weekends) but those Bananas Foster pancakes might just be worth the struggle. Like, my food was good but when I tried my friend's pancakes I just about died ya'll. I've actually thought about making the 4 hour drive from Atlanta just to get some. Unfortunately, I'm not even kidding about that either lol.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. It is the absolute worst experience I have ever had a restaurant. Every employee we encountered except for our waitress was extremely rude and clueless. We waited for an hour and a half to be seated for brunch on a Saturday even after we told the hostess that we would agree to be split up if it meant we could get seated quicker. They still continued to seat everyone else but us! They also refused to let my husband and I order a drink at the bar but allowed others to purchase drinks. The owner of the restaurant checked on every table but ours. I honestly have never felt so profiled and offended in my life. I ordered a breakfast bowl that was ok but certainly not worth the three hours that it took to come out. The french toast was ok but would have been much better if it were served warm. I was astonished that they don't bring the food out together for groups of people and allow some people to finish their food before others are served! The fact that this place is still in business blows my mind. Please do not waste your time going here!!!!! They cannot accommodate groups over two.

When I travel, I try to find new places. The best are small, single locations and usually off the beaten path. The Garden Brunch Cafe is all of that, and so much more. They offer everything from traditional egg dishes and pancakes to thoughtfully prepared Benedicts and omlets. I chose their specialty Benedict, which was made with over-easy eggs, cold smoked salmon, caramelized onions, spinach and the lightest hollandaise sauce I have ever tasted atop a toasted English muffin. It was fantastic! Nothing is fried. The meats (ham, sausage and bacon) are made in-house and are turkey based. At your request, they will sub olive oil for butter. They honestly are making an effort to provide a more healthy brunch alternative to greasy, buttery and heavy fare found at most places. That being said, they do still serve more indulgent treats. The plates of pancakes and french toast, which passed by my table, makes me want to come back the next time I am in town, and that's saying something as I usually look for new places, when travelling.

This place is OK- 3.5 stars. We had a large group for brunch and the staff seemed really confused about seating us. We eventually ended up just taking over the restaurant (it was like 12 of us). We actually had a good 'ol time but that was partly because we had such a large group. The food was just OK- maybe 3 stars. It might have been better if the place wasn't so crowded. If we were in the neighborhood we might come back.

Mike S.

Great spot. Healthy offerings. Staff very friendly. Only feedback was the food delivery was disjointed. ..I received my meal in phases instead all together but overall still enjoyed the place. Oh...they don't serve pork products so if you want real bacon you'll have to go elsewhere.

For my girlfriends and I, this was our last day in Nashville, and wanted a good brunch before leaving for the airport. My boyfriend back at home is a huge food nerd and suggested the Garden brunch cafÃ¨! We were greeted by our waiter Alonte, and from the start he made us feel like family! We started our brunch off with some much needed cocktails, and was just the beginning! My girlfriends both ordered the Jefferson Eggs Benedict, I ordered the spinach omelette and to top it off we split the banana foster! When our food arrived, it was nothing but perfection! Since it was my first time in Nashville I had to order the grits! I have never met someone who truly likes grits but let me tell you, I fell in LOVE!!! They had just enough grit and the perfect amount of creaminess! There was so much flavor I think it could change anyone's opinion. The girls LOVED their eggs Benedict and in their words "made them feel complete." The banana foster...speechless! Not only was the food phenomenal the hospitality was some of the best I've ever experienced! If you take a trip to Nashville you have to stop here!

Staff was amazing! Malcolm was our server and he was great. Offered plenty of insight and suggestions. Was busy as soon as it opened, get there early! Some really great teas. Bananas Foster is a must. This is a great sit down breakfast. If you're in Nashville on a Fri-Sun and don't go you've missed out.

When you find this family owned business nestled next to the Popeyes chicken restaurant, with a line of anxious eaters outside you know that you've found a gem. The food was awesome including the premier dish of banana's foster pancakes which literally overshadowed a very good meal. We also had the breakfast bowl with in house prepared sausage, yum! The steak, eggs and potatoes were seasoned to perfection. Don't miss out on visiting this wonderful establishment.

Leah N.

Quaint little neighborhood restaurant. Nice menu variety with a good balance between healthy options and indulgences (French Toast anyone?) I had the Veggie Bowl and it was delicious. My only qualm is that it feels very overpriced for breakfast. Our bill was almost $40 including tip for 2 people, and that just seems like too much for breakfast.

Debbie A.

A gem of a breakfast place that should be a must for all travelers! Jennifer, the owner, gave us a warm welcome. Her son, Alente, gave us the best service. It's a family run business that serves really delicious food and welcoming hospitality.

Get there early... Like when they first open at 9am. I don't believe many brunch places are worth disrupting your sleep cycle, but if you love smoked salmon Benedict, (which i do.) and pineapple mimosas, this place will be your Jam.
(5)
Raphael R.

Though this place doesn't seem like much from the outside... This place is a gem. I had there French toast (Italian bread) and it comes with eggs (any style), bacon, sausage, or ham. Eggs were really good & there French Toast was great (along with there sausage)! Only reason why I gave it 4 starts is due to it being a small restaurant, the wait times can be long. (30-40mins). Parking is also full most of the times, but that's not a huge problem since there's a Poppies right next door with an empty parking lot ;). Also, there tables can fit a maximum of 4 people. So if you have a party of more than 4, you might not sit next to each other. Over all, great place though. Definitely come and have breakfast here if you're around! :)

Corie K.

Based on everything I had heard I was really excited to try this place out. I'm not quite sure what the hype is - it was okay at best. There was an hour and a half wait on a Sunday - pretty standard of all your awesome brunch spots on a Sunday in Nashville; we were willing to wait for good food. Don't get the coffee - it was comparable to fast food coffee at best. The Spongebob (pineapple mimosa) was room temp and not refreshing at all. I ordered salmon cakes which were just okay, and though the grits were good, there was nothing special about them. Warning - their bacon is lightly seared turkey bacon, not real bacon (wish we would have known before ordering). Toast was barely toasted and dry - I had to ask for jelly. The potatoes were good, as well as the vegetables. I had hoped for so much more after hearing rave reviews. I'd like to hope it was an "off" day.

I was super excited to have breakfast here....but a bit disappointed. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing or it was an off morning for them. The family said their meals were OK. I will just say that maybe it was an off day and try again. I had the Broadway ...the eggs were not poached, easy over and very little hollandaise sauce, a bit over priced at $12. The service was ok, Others came in after us and their meals were served before ours. My mother in law enjoyed the Butter Pecan Pancakes and enjoyed them. I wanted to give more stars, but over all a bit disappointing.

Visited Nashville from LA with my family. A large group of us went here for sunday brunch (9 people). I couldn't have been more impressed with the wait staff here. They were so friendly and knowledgable about their food. They made excellent recommendations. The owner even came around to see how our meal was. The decor was creative and very classy. Overall we had an excellent experience and when I'm in town again I'd definitely visit this place. As far as food goes, I had the Banana Foster pancake and it was incredible. The pancakes nice and fluffy and the caramelized bananas plus walnuts were a perfect compliment. Their Ginger Ice tea was really delicious too, be sure to stir it first. My wife had the salmon cakes and I tasted it. It was really really good too.
(5)
Christopher M.

The food is delicious and well worth the wait!!! Get a cocktail and wait on the front porch. Try any of the pancakes (all served with eggs), steak and eggs, or blackened fish and cheesy grits. Everything is made fresh and in-house. Ask the owners for their story if you need some inspiration.
(5)
Susan S.

We got there right at opening- that would be my recommendation as it fills up fast. The music was a tad loud but they were happy to turn it down a tad. The ginger tea is fantastic! My mom loved the blackened fish and grits, which had a big tilapia filet for the price. The garden omelet was great but I have to say that it was weird to have the veggies folded outside the omelet and not cooked in the eggs. I also wish they served real bacon but certainly understand why they serve turkey ham, bacon, and sausage. The staff was very friendly.

Wow.... Seriously wow. This place got 5 stars for everything. Service, atmosphere, THE FOOD. Oh my goodness the food. The blacked fish and grits and banana foster pancakes.

Thank you for the wonderful food.

Nashville's finest - perfection - coffee is delish, mimosa's add to the perfect brunch celebration. I highly recommend the Cinnabun French Toast as Donald our waiter said "life changing".

This establishment truly is one of the best venues for a quality Nashville Brunch. I want to give this a full 5 stars, but I just wish there was a way that I didn't have to wait 2-3 hours every time I go for breakfast - even when I try to go early enough to beat the crowd. But - it is worth the long waits - imaginative, delicious southern brunch with a twist and excellent service. It's a house that's been around since the early 19th century and there is so much character and charisma in every room and in every item on that menu. It truly is one of Nashville's best. I want to do them a solid by this great review - but I also want everyone to forget it's there so that I can go and it just be me in there everywhere time :) It's a secret I wish I could keep to myself so I could savor it. Alas, that would be doing evil. You won't regret your trip there! Promise.

I think this is my new favorite brunch place!! Although the wait seemed like forever, literally everything we had was delicious.

I was in Nashville for a first assist lab and I have to say I'm not one to wait for long but man is this place worth the wait! Don't forget to ask for mimosas in the patio if you wait. :) has the French toast sandwich (special) and mom had the strawberry creme pancakes (special). One word......AMAZEBALLS! No seriously it was great! Met Jennifer the owner....love her vision and amazed by her menu! It's a most hot stop on your Nashville trip!

This was the first place my sister and I went to in Nashville. We were hungry and it was within walking distance to where we were staying. I ordered the butter pecan pancakes with the syrup on the side and it was very good. The pecans were plenty and nicely toasted. It went well with the souther pecan coffee but I wished the coffee was a little stronger. I can't remember what my sister had, guess it wasn't that memorable.

Mary M.

This place has inspired me to post my first review on Yelp. This is a very nice, welcoming place. I had the Banana's foster pancakes and my wife had Butter Pecan Pancakes. They were both fantastic. They were thick and fluffy and were served with eggs and a choice of ham, bacon or sausage patties, so come hungry. The wait staff was very attentive and polite. You can tell that they have been trained in customer service. The owners (I assume) greeted guests, many with hugs,and checked with each table to make sure everything was OK. I highly recommend stopping by for breakfast when visiting or driving through Nashville.

Lori R.

My husband and I love to go to the Garden Brunch Cafe on the weekends. I recommend getting there right when they open, as there usually isn't a wait at that point. The last time we were there, we sat there for a while, but no one came to take our order. I finally asked the manager who our waiter would be and told her that the people around us, many of whom arrived after us, had all been waited on. She immediately grabbed someone to take our order, apologized, and bought our first round of mimosas. We really appreciated that they were all so nice about it, and they totally made up for it! Their coffee is AMAZING. I've had the blueberry and butter pecan, and both are wonderful!

Yum, Yum, Yum!! Food was fantastic and all staff were extremely friendly. We went on a Sunday morning (actually today) and did have to wait for about 45 minutes as some of the other reviews stated. They were happy to serve us up some mimosas and bloody Mary's from the bar area until we got seated. We got the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, fresh spinach and capers...mmmm...and the bananas foster pancakes are a must!! Amazing! Will definitely go back again soon!!

Amber J.

Cute little place. Food is okay. I really enjoyed the potatoes but found the turkey sausage tasted a bit off (I eat turkey sausage for breakfast every weekday morning). The service can be slow. I observed the wait staff greeting and catching up with local customers. It's great they have a local base of customers but lets not forget to wait on other tables :)

The Garden was a wonderful experience. I'm so glad we found this cafe on Yelp. Their mission is to serve fresh food without preservatives or artificial ingredients. They have local sources for their eggs and coffee and nothing is ever deep friend! I had their Cinnabon French Toast and it was the best French toast I've ever had. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone who appreciates a nice atmosphere with wonderful food. Our waitress was very pleasant as well.

This is by far one of the best restaurants in Nashville. We came on a Sunday afternoon post church and met the enormous brunch crowd. The greeter (the owner) was very pleasant and informed us of a 1 hr wait. My husband went to the bar and purchased a perfectly blended mimosa and butter pecan coffee that was excellent! Once seated (after the wait) our waitress took our order and within 15mins our meal was delivered with perfection. I ordered the steak,potatoes, and eggs with pancakes, my husband had the delicious salmon and grits with eggs... Needless to say, we'll be going back this week. 2 thumbs up. Definitely worth the wait!

The food was very good. I wasn't blown away by my breakfast sandwich, but I appreciate the quality ingredients. The grits were very good. I loved the (original) pancakes. The French Roast coffee is the best cup of coffee I've had all year (excluding lattÃ©s). If I were to go again I'd probably just get coffee and pancakes and leave totally satisfied.

I really enjoyed my visit to Garden Brunch Cafe! I came in around 9:15am on Sunday morning, and it was perfect. There was no wait and we got seated immediately. The restaurant is in a very nicely decorated house converted into a restaurant, and we sat in the front room with a fire going next to us. Super cute spot! They have a great menu, and I had trouble deciding what to order. I love that they offer a variety of different mimosas and also will serve them in a pitcher for a whole table. I had the Germantown eggs Benedict with salmon, capers, caramelized onions and spinach. It was excellent. I'd highly recommend this dish, and it seems to be very popular! My dad had the blackberry french toast and it was also great. It was an entire plate full, and he ate every single bite! I had a side of turkey bacon, and it was probably the best I've ever had! Service was good, but it took quite a while for our food to come out and they weren't super busy yet. After we finished eating, we went outside and there was a large group waiting, and from other reviews, it looks common to have a crazy wait and slow food delivery. To be honest, I wouldn't wait over an hour for brunch here. It is very good, but unless it's early or late, I wouldn't stop in. However, I am not one to wait more than 30 minutes for a table unless I can have a cocktail at the bar or somewhere else to relax. There was a very large group of people were standing outside and there aren't any places to sit down.

What a great small restaurant. We had the honer of talking to the owner and her daughter was our waitress. The food was outstanding. I had the Germantown Eggs Benedict and it was exceptionally good. We will definitely be back. What a great family business.

I can sum up the food in one word - YUMMY! This by far is one of the best places I've ever eaten. We did have to wait about 15 minute for a table but now that I've been here I'd wait longer. All the staff is very professional and the owner Jennifer is bubbly and fun and try's to visit every table. And the farm fresh eggs are to die for.

Not impressed by the food at garden brunch. The coffee wasn't flavorful, the red velvet pancakes I ordered tasted like pancakes from a box. The turkey sausage and eggs, however, were very delicious. I will consider giving this place another shot.

I love Garden Brunch CafÃ©, that simple! The staff was genuine, warm and super helpful! I ordered Banana Foster pancakes with eggs and sausage sides. The kitchen was short on ingredients for the homemade sausage, so I was happy anyway to have turkey bacon instead, and man the turkey bacon was gooood! I'm happy that I asked for the pancake sauce on the side instead to dip each piece into that nom-ness. The restaurant is cozy, family atmosphere. If the light was not so dim inside, everything would be just perfect! I shall return.

One word..."Outstanding". This place has it all; great food, great service and fine atmosphere. The word is out, so expect a wait to get in for breakfast but the wait is well worth it. Had the Spinach omelette and my wife ordered the Jefferson Street Benny. The omelette was very good and the roasted potatoes were awesome dude! Gotta say though, my wife chose right...the Jefferson was really good. I also need to recommend the Germantown West Benny. I didn't have it, almost ordered it and longed for it when the table next to us had it served up. Boy it looked good. Overall, loved the place...met the hubby and wife team who owned the place and they were just friendly as could be. They lived in the Memphis area for years before relocating to Nashville. If in the Nashville area, you need to check this place out.

Like a few others, this place is great enough to get me to write my first review. Waited about 30 minutes around noon but wasn't too bad. i was told Sunday can be incredibly busy. Wife and I both got the Southern Pecan coffee and it was great. She had the oatmeal, which was pretty good. I had the Bananas Foster and 5 stars isn't enough. Seriously the best pancakes I've ever had. Heard good things about the Germantown from a friend as well. Service here is great as well. Staff is friendly and quick. Hands down the best brunch place I've ever had the pleasure of eating at. Don't miss this!

I love this place. The food is delicious. The staff is wonderful. Well trained and very professional. Yes, the wait can be long to get in and to get your food but it is so worth it when it comes. I highly recommend the Germantown West Benny or Bananas Foster Pancakes. Amazing!

Rudest people in the area. Plenty of open tables but would not seat me because I was one person. I complained so they Let me sit there taking person after person. Ignored me waiting for me to just go away but I wouldn't. Finally put me in a room by myself. So rude.

I have to admit from the outside it looked a bit odd, sort of like no one was home. All of that changed as soon as you walked through the door, someone ran over to greet us and was very friendly and inviting. We were seated almost immediately and were checked on regularly. The food was great! I had the Jefferson St. (Eggs Benedict) and my boyfriend had the breakfast bowl, also great. The potatoes are the best I've ever had. We shared the Banana Foster pancakes and those were just heavenly. I can't say enough how friendly and genuinely sweet everyone was! I will be back on my next trip to Nash! For the food but especially for the great service!

A couple months ago we made the mistake of getting there on a weekend around 10am or so and there was over an hour wait. I was too hungry to wait that long and told the bf we HAD to go back but earlier. Tried again and success!! Got there right when they opened and there was already people starting to file in. Managed to get seated and served very quickly. We both ordered the pancakes. I had the butter pecan and O.M.G... His bananas foster pancakes were good too but those butter pecan ones are the best (in my opinion). The pancakes also come with 2 eggs and a meat. Big fan of them offering turkey sausage and turkey bacon. Go. It's awesome. Just get there early and wear loose pants.

For over an hour we were told we were next. Watched almost half the restaurant come and go and still no table. No, we didn't pester the staff. Cant speak to the food as we didn't get a chance to try any. The bloody mary's at the bar were average. Sorry, no second chance for this place. Go elsewhere

Don't come with a party more than 2. When our table of 5 reluctantly asked to speak to the manager after being at out table over an hour without food we were told "well, that's just the way it is with bigger parties." When has a table of 5 been considered a " bigger party"?. No explanation at all just..."well that's the way it is." Well...the way it is I will never bring anyone there again. Awful. Embarrassing

This place is a joke. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that wants to eat breakfast, brunch or lunch on a weekend. We walked into the quaint, remodeled house that is Garden Brunch Cafe. The entryway was packed with people (6-8 people filled the lobby space). I looked for a hostess stand. I looked for a hostess. I looked around. Nobody. A waiting customer said she had seen a hostess. 10 minutes passed. Nothing. Finally, a woman with a clipboard walked in and took our names. She said she'd come back to tell us how long the wait was. While waiting, we noticed busboys and waiters running back and forth, carrying beverages and food, through the waiting area and bar. The set-up of this place is awful. Seeing plates of pancakes and bacon travel past me and into another room was agonizing! A few minutes later, we heard the woman tell another couple it was a 40 minute wait. Maybe. She never came back to us. We went outside (it is HOT in here), sat on the porch and I searched for another breakfast spot on Yelp. We left. Ya'll are crazy for waiting through this madness.

The "it" place for a delicious brunch in Nashville. Located on historic Jefferson St in an eclectic decorated house, Garden Brunch combines familiar breakfast favorites with a flavorful twist and the hospitality of dining a friend's home. I had tried banana foster pancakes and then the omelette on separate visits. Both were awesome! The service was great and the brunch with the wait!

Family owned restaurant with great service! The food is nothing short of amazing! Cannot go wrong with this menu! Bananas foster pancakes, steak and eggs, and mimosas all amazing! Must try!

Martina T.

This was the first restaurant I ate at while on my trip to Nashville. I was not prepared for the amazingness that happened! Since we were a party of 10 we decided to go with two pitchers of mimosas. We ordered the original and also the pineapple mimosa. I preferred the pineapple mimosa just because it was a little sweeter and I tend to like sweet drinks. If you enjoy Bloody Mary's, you will love their version which is made with sake instead of vodka. We were warned before ordering that our food would not come at the same time since we had such a big party. Honestly, that was not a major issue. The staff was very accommodating and the wait time in between when they brought our orders was not long enough for us to notice. I ordered the Germantown West Benny. This was eggs Benedict topped with salmon, spinach, and hollandaise sauce. It also came with a side of potatoes. A friend at my table ordered the Banana Foster Pancakes which were to die for. I'm not a fan of pancakes but even I could not resist these. Someone else at our table ordered the blackened fish with grits. The fish was flavored well and even had a slight kick from the spice. We all loved the food so much that we passed our plates around because we just had to try everything. Overall, this was a pleasant experience since we received phenomenal service and ate delicious food! If I'm ever visiting Nashville again I know where to come for a great meal.

I definitely don't enjoy writing two-star reviews, but my experience here was not a good one (and clearly out of character for them, considering all of the five-star reviews.) Maybe it was an off day, but so many things happened that were inexcusable. My mom, sister and I needed a good brunch before driving five hours back to St. Louis, and I used the Yelp app to find a good spot. Garden Brunch Cafe was close to us and had a ton of glowing reviews, so off we went. The restaurant itself is very cute and has that welcoming "at home" feel. I was put off, however, from the level of smoke in the restaurant that created an annoying haze. Also, their idea of AC was having fans everywhere, which clearly didn't cool things down. Regardless, we were hungry and willing to give it a shot. The service we received was atrocious. After being sat, we watched as three tables received drinks, and we sat there for 20 minutes after ordering ours before we got anything (including water.) The fruit tea we ordered was good and not too sweet, so I was thankful to have that when it got to the table. We ordered our food, and that's when it got even worse. My mom and my sister's food came out, and our server told me she was going to get mine. After sitting there for ten minutes watching my mom and sis eat (they were starving and I told them not to wait for me), she came over to see what we needed since my sister flagged her down. I replied with, "my food?" She got totally flustered and ended up bringing it over... ten more minutes later. She also didn't bring jam and hot sauce like we asked for until we were pretty much done eating. Luckily everything was super affordable or I would have been way more mad. My food was great, too, but the terrible service overshadowed it all. I won't be heading back to this place the next time I'm in Nashville.

This place makes the best mimosas. Every time they pop open a bottle of bubbly the staff shouts "OPA!" It's hilarious! We asked them how many times a day they say OPA and we were told 12-15. Too funny. It's an old converted house. There was a singer guitar player singing Adele among other artist hits. Fab voice. Fab guitar playing. Fab touch. We split an order of French toast and each of us had our own egg dish. It was crowded and there was a wait but it moves quickly and the food is to die for! The most polite and efficient staff ever. Go and enjoy your experience. We loved it!

Kursteen N.

Great food, the service is excellent. The restaurant has a very warm and inviting feel. The manager or maybe it was the owner made it a point to go by every table to check on the guest. We decided to come here when we couldn't get a table at Pancake Pantry. So happy that happened because we would not have found such a wonderful breakfast spot.

Food was great if not highly expensive for breakfast. Including tip (8$) it was $60 for the two of us. Other then that it was awesome.

I had to queue up my old Riri (Rihanna) album "good girl gone bad" whilst getting comfy on my couch to write this review. She has this line on the album's title track that goes something like: "once a good girls gone bad, she's gone forever". Sadly, that's how I feel about this place. I moved to Nashville for grad school almost three years ago, and discovered this (used to be) gem of place, tucked away in the least suspecting of places. A friend raved about the Banana Foster pancakes with such enthusiasm for so long, that I finally pulled myself away from the drudgery of my first year in my phd program to see what all the hype was about. I went in when they still had black diamond as the house band; when i tell you my ear s AND taste buds exploded with glee, i'm NOT exaggerating. Then I read about the story of the owners and fell in love again. Each time I went I found something new to love. It became my go-to place when people from out of town came to visit. But then something happened. I felt like I had been romanced by a man who suddenly decided to take off his mask and show me the real him. See, we connected at Garden Brunch cafe. I had my favorite waiters, and none of the stress of graduate school existed in those walls; it was a refuge. Well, those days are long gone. Before yesterday (which was the final straw for me), I had several run ins with inexperienced staff and a general lack of awareness about customer satisfaction as a verb. An example: I had a young man spill my mimosa on the table and consequently on me and his first reaction was: oh my god, they are going to take this broken glass out of my check. WHAT? First of all, what kind of ship are they running where the staff seem truly petrified to make a mistake? Plates break, no biggie. Just bring me my liquor, you know whatta mean??? I was taken aback at that response, but my sympathy soon turned to rage as he left the table without wiping up the spilled juice and didn't return for FIVE whole minutes!?!?!? WTF??? The thing that was extra maddening to me was the fact that the owner walked by and saw me looking at the juice but decided that the couple who was sitting next to me were more worthy of his attention. He NEVER came over, apologized, assisted with the clean up. You may know good food man, but you don't know people. In a world where the owner had even the smallest clue about people psychology, he would have come over and apologized, helped clean up the juice and said, "let me pour you a drink on me, I hope this doesn't ruin your day". There was nothing of the sort. I left feeling snubbed, but decided that every relationship has a rough patch, I wasn't ready to give up. Well, that was until today. I came in with a party of 12 people which seemed to annoy the new hostess that they have. First of all, I respect that she seems to be enthusiastic about providing more structure to the place but this lady managed to suck all the joy out of the ambiance with her militant approach to customer interaction. She kept on talking about the size of the group and how she didn't want to "overwhelm" our waiter. Um, I am the president of an organization on campus, and let me tell you, we have frequented places with real numbers like 50 or 60 and have been given impeccable service. I'm sorry if I am being insensitive to your waiting staff's feelings, but that sounds like a training issue, not a problem on our part. So they seated us in the front room but separated the tables that were joined "because our party was too big" and took our orders separately which would have been fine if we didn't have to wait 35 mins to even order our drinks. The first table got their food well before the second table, so we found ourselves awkwardly consumed by feelings of table envy. "Man, that water looks good. My throat sure is dry." To their credit, once we were able to order at the second table we got our food and it was GOOD. ....But the food envy was soon displaced as the final 3rd of our party got their food an HOUR later. To their credit, the manager at least came out this time (not the wicked witch of the west, ahem, I mean the hostess) which was nice and agreed to a 50 percent discount. Notice I said "agreed to" not "offered". When we finally were fed and started putting on our coats, they nearly shoved us out of the door. If this were Facebook, this would be the point where I unfriended you GBC. We had a good run, but the romance, it seems, is officially over.

I was in Nashville for the weekend and looking for a nice place to have breakfast. Thanks to fellow Yelpers I found the Garden Brunch Cafe. The restaurant is adorable on the inside with paintings (many done by family of the owner) hung around. The wait staff was very charming and attentive. When the chef (and I believe the owner) heard I had never had grits she promptly brought me a small serving to try. She recommended a meal for me, and for my companion. The experience was fantastic. The food was very good but the service is what I would go back for!

Wow! I have been on a brunch roll lately and this place was awesome and did not disappoint. There was no line when we went around 10 on a Saturday morning-but I caveat that with the fact an unexpected snow had coated the ground and I think the city was still slowly venturing out. Our party of 5 was easily sat after being greeted by the pleasant host who pushed two tables together for us and went over the specials with us. After a quick glance at the menu, I decided on the blackened fish and grits and my husband the banana foster's French toast. Ohmigosh, where do I begin?! 1. I really like the fact they serve 2 eggs your way and a side of meat with the pancakes and French toast. Why more brunch places don't do this I don't know?! I never want just a plate of pancakes. 2. The turkey bacon and sausage was delish! The bacon was thickly sliced and crispy, the sausage Nicely seasoned. 3. The eggs were scrambled just like my mom used to do it (with cheese) and served steaming! 4. The banana foster pancakes- no words can really describe how good they are. I swear the batter had an almost pudding like taste/texture and were just not like any pancakes I've had recently. The whipped cream was a perfect accompaniment to the sweet foster sauce. 5. My fish and grits were great as well, my fish perfectly blackened and served with 2 eggs your way-again a filling yummy meal! The owner also came out to chat with us and make sure everything was great. So glad we were able to enjoy this place before the waiting area started to fill up with patrons about 1030 am.

Delicious, fresh, organic Southern brunch. I had the spinach omelet, and while I loved the eggs, the potatoes were my favorite part. Outstanding! My boyfriend had the special of the day, pumpkin pancakes, which I also tried and enjoyed. Very sweet, if you like sweet breakfast. Overall, loved the vibe and the friendly service. A great spot!

Were back in Nashville and came in again for brunch. We enjoyed a delicious meal. I had a Garden Omelet with grits. My husband had the special which was Berry French Toast. My daughter had Butter Pecan Pancakes. Everything was so delicious. Service and atmosphere is splendid. Thanks for a great meal.

YUMMMM --- We went on Father's Day around 1130 or so, there were packed so we waited about 30 minutes or so. Everything looked sooo good. I got Germantown West Benedict which is your normal benedict topped with smoked salmon. It was great. My fiance had a spinach and sausage omelette, he really enjoyed it.. I really wanted to try banana foster pancakes but I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it so that's going to be my excuse to go back :D. Oh, I also had bloody mary - it's made with sake. I didn't like it at all, so save your money! :)

Ahh - Sunday Brunch! Frankly, there's no better time to seek out and partake of a palate pleasing experience without the rush of other life pressures. Today was just such a day! I must say, the primary reason I selected the Garden Brunch Cafe was a result of some very influencing Yelps! Nothing wrong with that - I'm simply leveraging this whole commitment of time and opinion to my advantage, right? We arrived around 1:15pm (they advertise that they're only open until 2pm - yikes.) Management made every effort to not exclude anyone, but seemed to be sensitive to "locking" the doors at closing time. One risk: The manager openly admitted they had a few large groups that cleaned them out earlier, so we were informed that several of their signature items were gone for the day. (No worries, as there were plenty of other delicious items to choose from.) Lesson learned: arrive earlier! Well, I am pleased to report that the favorable reviews are spot on! I won't repeat or fawn over previously reviews items...Here's the straight skinny: Pluses: - the wait staff was super friendly. - they worked diligently to turn the tables and provide prompt attention. - the meals were fantastic. My wife had the spinach omelet (see picture) and I had the banana foster pancakes (see picture). Both were excellent! - good follow-up attention - No rush to turn the table (despite the time of day) - generous portions - reasonable prices Minuses: - limited parking in the back (maybe hold a dozen cars?). (We parked down the street and walked back.) - appeared to be understaffed. (service was good - as noted above - but there were several empty tables that remained empty; apparently not enough wait staff to service them...) The wait time could be reduced with more staffing. These are small minuses, though. ....the only drawback I really saw was the lack of sufficient wait staff (for the size of the dining area). Still, we only waited about 20 minutes. Bottom line: first rate!!

I face the Yelper's conundrum. You find an amazing place and you want to sing about it to the whole world, but then you become worried that you will be waiting a long time for a table. You want to give amazing places all the best accolades and heap the masses upon them so that they remain successful, but you selfishly like that you can walk in and sit down without waiting and it's still kind of quiet. This is how I feel about the Garden CafÃ©. First of all, Nashville, you lack places with great breakfasts. You are starting to come around, but as a northerner sometimes you don't want brunch, you want breakfast. Maybe it's dressed up, maybe it's not, but sometimes you just want a good morning meal. And Garden, you are the new love of my breakfast loving life. First of all you're freaking adorable on the inside, all cute artwork and intimate living-room-like feel. And the service...from the moment you walk in the door, just perfect. Smiling, attentive, helpful people all around. I've seen a lot of people comment on slow service, and I'll be honest in saying I don't mind slow, so long as you're attentive. The servers were honest in saying "I apologize for the wait" or "Can I get you something while you wait?" I appreciate that! They have carafes of mimosas for $20 which is worth it and their French press coffee will cure your exhaustion quickly. And their food was incredible. I had their spinach omelet and it both looked and tasted like they'd wrapped an entire garden up in eggs and put it on my plate. Roasted potatoes that were delicious without being fried into oblivion provided a nice side to me wonderful breakfast. The Garden CafÃ© is only open Friday-Sunday from 9am-2pm. Keep this is mind when planning your visit. It really is a wonderful place, and a big thank you to the staff that provided such a stellar experience.

Andrea Jane L.

After reading the reviews, I thought this would be a perfect little spot to grab a bite. It looked small, yet very quaint. However, I must admit, I was more than disappointed. First of all, we asked how long the wait would be and were told no more than 45 minutes. That 45 minutes turned into 95 minutes. After finally being seated, we waited another 5 minutes before anyone took our drink order and by then we were ready to order our food. The spinach omelets Andy, Tiffany and I ordered came out fairly quickly and John's seared salmon followed suit. The omelets were mediocre at best. I can, however, appreciate that you can order the omelets with egg whites and have them prepared in olive oil instead of butter. But that is honestly where it ended for me. The Bananas Foster pancakes were just okay, although Andy loved them. Unfortunately, by the time they came out, I was just ready to leave. A friend of our waiter came by for a visit and we were quickly forgotten. We had to ask twice to receive our pancakes and more than once to get a coffee refill. On top of that, we must have asked for the bill four times. If it weren't for John and Andy enjoying their food, I would have given this place 2 stars. We will be returning to Nashville, but this place will not be on my "be back soon" list.

I have been driving by Garden Brunch for months and couldn't wait to go! I have friends visiting who love to brunch and I knew this would be the place for us! Not only is this the cutest place and that everyone that works there is so welcoming, the food is spectacular! We all ordered the Benedict's, really recommend, but hands down, the banana foster pancakes are out of this world!

Terrible, terrible, terrible service. Good food. Waited 1.5 hours to eat. Had to ask for refills EVERYTIME. Feeling neglected. Terrible service. Wish I wasn't so hungry :( The manager or whoever was in charge came out twice to apologize, after we flagged someone down to ask. They said they were going to take care of the check. But upon receiving the check it was only discounted a small percentage. I forget, like 10-20%. Regardless, I wrote this place off

Their French toast is absolutely amazing! All of their food is locally sourced, and they have several healthy options. The staff was so friendly and the owner even came out to talk to us. The Bloody Mary's are made with sake instead of vodka, which actually makes them even better!

Get there early. They open at nine, we got there at 8:45 and there was already a couple of people in front of us. They opened right at nine and were seated right away... Ordered food by 9:10 and were eating by 9:20am. Awesome banana foster pancakes.... My husband got the steak and eggs (their seasoning was great just a little fatty) but it was good. No complaints here. We were hesitant about the reviews on wait time and service.... But getting there early is the thing to. And service was fast and attentive. Will come back!

Best breakfast in Nashville - or anywhere for that matter! Such a hidden gem outside the downtown area. Family run and such friendly service. Great art and cozy feel. I had the Germantown eggs Benedict - prob the best I have ever had! The grits were amazing as well. My husband had the meat lovers omelette which he also raved about. We split a pumpkin and original pancake on this side, which were yummy too. Visiting from New Jersey, we experienced real Southern charm here! Do not miss out when in Nashville! Great people, great decor, great food! Can't go wrong

The Germantown eggs Benedict was awesome with fresh spinach smoked salmon and capers! The owners are on site, attentive and nice, nice, nice. I even got to sample one of their butter pecan pancakes. To die for. This will definitely be our brunch destination in Nashville. Well worth a wait. Have a spicy Bloody Mary while you wait. Eases the pain!

LaDonna T.

Quaint cafe in a hard to miss location on Jefferson St. I am very impressed!! Great menu ( bottomless mimosas would be nice)!! I had the blackened fish and grits. I'm always hesitant to get blackened in fear of charcoal burnt, but this was amazing! Perfectly seasoned. I can't get over the menu.. Wonderful variety. Came about 1230 on Sunday afternoon.. about a 10 minute wait for table for 2. I will definitely be visiting again!

Sarah V. M.

Nashvillian Yelpers you really let me down with this one. *Service - only men, and while perfectly nice, their timing was all off, as was my order. After a 5 minute discussion about the topping on the pecan pancakes, I was hoping you would remember me when you placed my order, but alas...banana's foster, say what?! I sadly don't touch the things... *Portion - average to small *Coffee - awful...I read french press in some reviews, but that is no longer on the menu *Food - blandish, not bad, just not delectably tasty as we had hoped from all those stellar reviews. *Parking - good luck *Pricing - no one told me were in New York City in Nashville! *Ambiance - quaint, like being at a friend's house

Russell M.

If there is a complaint on this place believe me they are WRONG! Great food and I mean above normal. Nice atmosphere and other restaurants should visit so that they can learn how to treat there patrons. All there food seem great but I had the Germantown West and a short stack of the Banana Foster's. You will be a happy person if you get the chance to start your day off with eating breakfast here.

After seeing all the reviews I was super excited to try this restaurant. Our weekend had been less that spectacular with all the traffic headaches around Nashville. My excitement quickly changed upon finding out they didn't have regular milk (only soy) so my little boy couldn't have chocolate milk and they only had turkey products. My kids will completely not thrilled with the turkey bacon. They went as far to saying McDonalds would've been better. I must say I agree. We spent $60 on a breakfast that no one ate. I'm sad, disappointed, and hungry :(

SCRUMPTIOUS! The best brunch place in Nashville. The wait was well worth it! ... And be prepared to WAIT a good 30 min to an hour! I found this place on yelp (thanks to all the great reviews from my fellow yelpers!) and I've been to marches a few times, but wanted to see if there's another brunch place up to par... and was I happy to have tried this place. The Germantown West Benny, is a must! It's also their specialty. You an taste the fresh ingredients. The oozing eggs were GREAT... I wanted to lick the plate! The banana foster pancakes, another favorite at this place, exceeded all my expectations. I thought it would be too sweet, and the pancakes soaked through in the syrup... however, I was so wrong! The sweetness was on point, and the pancakes stayed fluffy and light all the way to the last bite! They were the most light and fluffy pancakes i've ever had! I wish I can have the recipe! Also, the live music and specialty drinks are just perfect additions to an awesome brunch! Great place, top 5 Nashville restaurant in my opinion.

OUTSTANDING!!!!! OMG Where do I begin?! The amazing Bloody Mary made with sake? The banana foster pancakes? The incredible service?? This place just made my top FIVE! Shout out to the over the top service you get the second you walk in the door and to Malcom - our incredible server! We even got a visit from the chef/owner! REALLY REALLY COOL! Per Malcom's recommendation, I went with the Fiesta Omelet. Home made salsa - incredible presentation and absolutely delicious fluffy egg omelet with a subtle kick to it!!! My husband ordered the banana foster pancakes and they were like nothing I have ever tried before - so yummy! Like and delicious with this amazing creamy topping - you didn't need syrup. I guess this is something more notably made to top ice cream, but the chef created this delicious concoction. They often have live music and it looks like a cool venue for it - unfortunately they weren't playing while we were there. This is in our TOP 5!!

Great little brunch spot just outside of downtown Nashville, in a strange area next to a Popeye's and a Captain D's! My party and I arrived on a Saturday morning around 11AM; we were told there would be a half hour wait, but we ended up being seated after 15 minutes. The Garden Brunch Cafe made me feel like I was having brunch at a friend's house... possibly because the place is in a little house, or because all of the mugs are mismatched and they gave me a box of tea to choose my tea from. Or maybe because the wait staff treated us like they'd known us for years. All of these things added up to a pleasant experience. And all of us loved our food! I ordered the french toast with berry compote and I'd venture to say it was the best french toast I'd ever had. A lofty but deserving statement. I would also like to mention that they have a pineapple mimosa that they call the "Spongebob." I didn't try it but the fact that such a thing is on their menu makes me happy. I'll definitely try to head back on my next trip to Nashville.

I've been to the Garden Brunch Cafe quite a few times and had pretty good experiences. I haven't quite had the 5 star experience yet. I found out about it while flipping through the Nashville Scene for best unsung hero on brunch. Agreed with that. I started telling my friends about it and no one had ever heard of it. I've taken guests who are visiting Nashville and they have LOVED it. It's getting out now and becoming a regular brunch spot for all the fab brunch goers including myself. Brunch is my favorite meal and I like both savory and sweet things. I've tried the Germantown West Benny. Order this before they run out! I suggest going earlier in the day before they get too busy. One time, my guest and I had to wait for over 20 minutes when there were EMPLTY tables. I am not sure if they were low on staff but that made for an unpleasant beginning. I went and reminded them that we had been waiting for a very long time. Thankfully the service and food made it better and we left happy campers. If you haven't tried this place, do yourself a favor! It's near Germantown which I like because it's fun to go a little out of the way for a fun treat! :)

So delicious! We ate at the bar and talked to the super nice bartender who's family owns it. She told us all about how they started it and made AMAZING drinks. There was so much to choose from on the menu and my friend and I both DEVOURED our food. I can't wait to come back and try something else!!!

You need to go here. Lovely wait staff. Awesome energy. Great music and art on the walls. Oh the food...yea that's what I'm talking about. They do this thing called love and flavor to it. Get the banana foster pancakes...an old Louisiana recipe we were told. I can't wait to come back. Jenn is a beautiful host and owner. Come early!

We stopped here while visiting Nashville! The ambiance was excellent. Service was a little slow, waiting about 10 min or so for our Bloody Mary and Spongebob Mimosa. But the wait was worth it - best Bloody Mary ever. We had the veggie omelet and meat omelet - both were excellent.

I really liked the feel of this restaurant. It was warm, cozy and inviting. We had a to wait about 10 minutes for a table and we got there about 45 mins after they opened. I ordered the fish (blackened) and grits. My friend ordered one of the specials which was strawberries and cream pancakes. She said they were definitely in top 5 best pancakes she has ever had. She received turkey sausage and scrambled eggs. I tried her sausage, I really enjoyed the earthy, herb, fresh flavor. My meal came with scrambled eggs, dry toast, and grits with cheese. Everything was wonderful. I am a savory eater and this definitely satisfied me! Blackened tilapia had a nice bite. Also, coffee was good!

Ok so I've visited GBC twice now, the most recent time was this past Friday. Both visits were AMAZING! On my first visit, which was on a Saturday around 11, I went with a friend who was visiting. I don't know why, but for some reason I like to try out restaurants when friends are visiting. Crazy, but it usually works! Anyway, I had the banana foster pancakes since I had heard so much about them, and its true! Believe the hype people! These things were delicious! The sauce that goes over them......I could drink it straight if I had the "skinny gene". I also had the turkey sausage and scrambled eggs. They were good as well. The sausage had a nice kick to it, which I loved. When we arrived we were told the wait was going to be about an hour. We decided to stay since we could engage in convo and time would surely pass quickly, but the wait was only about 30 min. Keep that in mind....it may not be as long as they say. On my last visit, which was on a Friday around noon, I ordered the Germantown Benny, which is eggs benedict topped with spinach and grilled red onion. It was so good! Actually, it was my first time ever having eggs benedict (Idk how this happened, blame mom lol) and I will definitely have it again. For my side I had the grits, which were good. I guess its kinda hard to mess up grits though. We didnt have a wait at all. We were seated immediately. Service was ok on both visits. On the first visit, it was pretty busy on that day but the server kept forgetting to bring my refill. He was nice and apologetic about it. The service was much better on the 2nd visit. He was very attentive and helpful. GBC is my new go to brunch spot.

Yum yum yum came here for an easter brunch. Of course, there was quite the wait, but it was well worth it. One thing I noted in particular was the kindness of the staff. They were very courteous and happy, which made the experience (especially the wait) much easier. I was just coming off my vegetarianism due to lent and I was glad to have tried their ham as my first meat in many weeks. Excellent atmosphere as well, can't go wrong with this place!

I had the red velvet pancakes (wonderful) and southern pecan coffee (so great!). It's only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I would suggest going right at 9 or 9:30 to avoid a long wait. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They made sure to ask if we had been here before and gave recommendations. The pancakes were amazing and my husband got the cinnamon bun french toast which was also great-the best we've ever had! Lots of food for the price-you get two eggs and a choice of meat with the pancakes and french toast. Great brunch place!

While visiting Nashville, I used my Yelp app to find a good brunch spot near us. Due to all the glowing reviews, I guess it must have been an off-day when I ate here. My group of five waited about 45 minutes for a table outside in the heat. No big deal at all. I am accustomed to waiting for good brunch. Once we sat down, we ordered drinks and food. The drinks took a while to arrive and the food took a very long time. No one ordered anything complicated. Everyone's food arrived but mine. After waiting about 10 minutes, I was told it was coming. I didn't get my super simple egg and cheese sandwich until a good 15-18 minutes after the first person at our table received theirs. And my sandwich was lukewarm! It wasn't bad but the wait was frustrating. Overall, it was mediocre food for an extremely long wait. The only reason I'm giving three stars instead of two is because the location in an old house is charming and the musician performing that afternoon was very good and entertaining and helped to ease the wait time.

My girlfriend and I have eaten here for the first time this past year. We were looking for a good brunch place and boy did this place deliver! We have been a total of 2-3 times now and we will be going back. The food is excellent and there is a lot of it. The staff is some of the friendliest that we have encountered and we usually sit at the small bar area so we can watch them make the excellent mimosas and cocktails while we converse with the servers! I really cannot recommend this place enough! Do yourself a favor and stop by for brunch next weekend!

I don't normally write reviews but I couldn't let this one pass without praising my experience here. OMG, THE BANANAS FOSTER PANCAKES ARE THE BEST PANCAKES I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! So filling and so delectable, these pancakes are for the sweet tooth kind of customer as they definitely feel more desserty but well worth the experience. They came with a side of eggs and turkey bacon or sausage which were also very good. My server was extremely nice and service was excellent. No complaints and I'm excited to make this place one of my regular stops in Nashville. I will definitely need to try their Germantown Benny with salmon on my next stop in!

I am sure you already know. The Banana Foster Pancakes are to die for. The Blueberry were not as good, I think they should of added a blueberry compote to the top. The breakfast meats are weak. Turkey everything, not that i am against Turkey ham, it is not the same. I rather they find a real good turkey sausage.

Brunch options have increased dramatically across Nashville, and this is another good one. The food is fresh and well-prepared, and the service is friendly. Parking and the wait are the only things that keep me from going more often.

Absolutely amazing, service is impeccable. The bananas foster pancakes are incredible, as well as everything else on the menu. They have a few unique takes on eggs Benedict, as well as different flavored mimosas. I liked the pineapple ones the best. Although they do not have pork, their turkey bacon and sausage are both delicious. The staff is very friendly and remembered us every time we came back. The best time to go is when there's live jazz music. Nashville might be known for country, but this is a nice change of scenery. It is pretty quiet when there's not a band playing, so I wouldn't recommend bringing young children here if they can't behave in a restaurant. This is more of a place to bring a date to. Garden Brunch Cafe is my favorite restaurant in Nashville and l will definitely return next time I'm in town.

This is 3 hours of our life we will never get back. The 1 hour wait is understandable. However, once we were seated, it took 15mins for the server to come to our table. It was another 30mins before we got our drinks. They didnt even bring water. Then it was another 35mins after that for us to get our food. Our food also came out one plate at a time over a period of 10mins and half of the plates were cold. Although the food was decent (which is why I gave it one star), we will never waste our time again. The majority of the staff were just standing around moat of the time talking to each other. A little piece of me died today along with half my day.

This family have created something great. Wonderful service, excellent simple menu of superbly cooked food and brunch drinks with a twist. The Bloody Mary with sake instead of vodka is to be ticked off the list. We ate here on a late Saturday morning and there was a 45 min wait. We sat on the deck with coffee and sure enough 45 mins later we were sat down. It was absolutely worth the wait. Genuine, friendly and professional service. Highly recommend this place for brunch if you're in Nashville for even one day.

This place was a great yelp find. We arrived around noon and to my surprise there was no wait. The food was amazing. I ordered the Banana Foster Pancakes and like most people said, it was delicious. It was a little too sweet for me but a very tasty meal indeed. My gf ordered the salmon and it was another delicious dish as well. The salmon was moist, tender and very flavorful and even the sides (asparagus and red potatoes) were just as good as the salmon. Next time I'm in Nashville I'll definitely be going back.

My family and I tried this Restaurant out since there such great reviews. We thoroughly enjoyed this place. We ordered the Salmon patties that had this amazing honey sauce that goes with it!! Also the fiesta omelette which was very vibrant. All of that paired with Red velvet and Butter pecan Pancakes which were Awesome. We drank the Fruit Tea which aimed to please and was very Refreshing. We will be back!!!

We must have arrived at the absolute worst time on a Sunday morning -- had to wait a Loooooong time for table. The menu was concise but had choices that appealed to everyone in my party. Server was a bit scattered, but it was VERY crowded... Something must have gone awry with our order -- food kept arriving at tables that were seated well after we were -- but, we were not in a hurry and when the food arrived it was quite good. Wait and crowdedness was frustrating, but I'll give 'em another try with an earlier arrival !

We ended up at Garden Brunch Cafe by accident. We were just out of church, had time before I had to catch my plane back to Austin, and wanted a fun Nashville style brunch to kill the time in a fun way. We found GBC on yelp, and the reviews looked good, so off we went. What a treat! My daughter had the scramble with turkey bacon and I had the eggs benedict with turkey ham. Great service from our waitress, excellent coffee and the food was exquisite. We were very impressed, and even more so when the owner came by and was sincerely interested in our experience. Bottom line, put Garden Brunch Cafe on your list to try. Great food, warm & friendly service! I am a fan, and don't miss out on that turkey bacon & ham. Best I have ever had!

This is a really quaint spot that you could by-pass if you're not paying attention. From arrival to food on the table was about 1 hour and 15mins. We weren't happy about that but when you're greeted with such great attitudes and food you forget how long you had to wait. The Butter Pecan (Walnut) Pancakes were great; however, still need some syrup because the butter pecan glaze doesn't really saturate the pancakes. The eggs were okay, you could tell they had been sitting to wait for all the food to come out at once but still good. Turkey bacon is not my thing but it was a good healthy choice alternative. Since other high calorie items are sold why not give pork bacon as an option. The atmosphere was really nice, cozy and clean. I liked that the waiters were well-dressed and very manner-able. From the mini-stage and other reviews it seems GBC has live jazz; that would have been a nice touch. Soft music was in the background, which was cool. I must warn you, when they pop a bottle of champagne they yell this word of some sort that may catch you off-guard. In closing, we will definitely give GBC visit.

The day called for breakfast, so after getting off the road, we stopped here on saturday to get some of the best breakfast the Music City had to offer. After taking in a short wait, we were seated in this busy, bustling house with a lot of charm. After reading up and finding out that the do some things locally grown, I was sold! I ordered the the french toast. She ordered the Bananas Foster Pancakes. The french toast left a lot to be desired, but the Pancakes were the greatest creation on the menu. it did take a minute for the staff to get who was waiting on our table straight, but they got it right. Why the 3 stars? I can put all my eggs in one basket ( or stars in this case) over one menu item. I can get behind the concept of this spot, but I honestly feel like there should be more of a wow factor to this place. on my next visit to see the grandparents, I will see it.

Three words: Bananas Foster Pancakes My husband and I visited on a Sunday afternoon. It was packed and we had to wait for about 30-45 minutes, but it was definitely worth the wait! I had the french toast and he had the bananas foster pancakes. Needless to say, we switched plates after I had one bite of the pancakes. The fruit tea was excellent, as well as the southern pecan coffee. This is a must for your brunch plans. Great service and great food.

I went for brunch on a sunday and loved it. One of the best brunches I have had in town. I tried the eggs benedict and they were delicious! The sweet tea was a bit too sweet for my taste but still decent. Easy parking and best of all, i didnt have to wait too long for a table.. Perhaps I got there before the church crowd but, I was surprised to be able to sit right away on a Sunday am

I had the Banana Foster! Omg!!!!! Yummy! The mimosas are delicious. I gave them a 4 star because the my ran out of pink lemonade and tilapia but had decent alternatives. I would definitely recommend Garden Brunch Cafe for anyone into town or visiting.

Small place with really good food. However, they need a better system for taking names. We were the 1st of 3 couples to walk in and the last to be put on the list. It wasn't a big deal but aggravating. They need a hostess stand or someone who stays out front continually. The food was fantastic. I ordered the plain French toast with turkey bacon and eggs over medium. All were excellent. My husband had the meat omelet with red potatoes. He could not stop raving about the potatoes!!

Um, wow. This is one of those places that I almost don't even want to write a review for, because I don't want the line to get longer! As others have mentioned, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside the place is really nice - hip medium grey walls in one room, deep red in another. It's a converted home with tasteful decor (that ranges from wall-mounted ceramic flowers to a modern painting of Jay-Z). When we drove up, there were only about 4 people standing on the porch, so I thought we got lucky and wouldn't have much of a line. Don't be fooled! There were also a bunch of people waiting inside. After parking behind the house (about a dozen parking spots), we walked up at around 12:15 on a Sunday and they said the wait was about 45 minutes. It was almost exactly that. Before getting seated, we sat out on the stoop and looked over the menu - decided for sure on a Benny (benedict) and either the fish and grits or bananas foster pancakes. By the time we were seated (~1), they were out of the Bennys, so we went with the other two. The fish and grits were the best I've had in Nashville. There is a choice of grilled or blackened tilapia or catfish. We went with the blackened catfish, and the cajun seasoning was fantastic. The grits weren't quite as rich as they are at Prime 108 or Germantown Cafe, but they were good and blended well with the flavorful fish. The bananas foster pancakes were extremely sweet, so if you aren't a fan of sugar overload this isn't for you. I'm glad I split the two dishes with my lady, because there is no way I could have eaten a plate of these on my own. They were the perfect dessert though! Also tried the ginger tea, which was tasty. I'm guessing the fruit tea would be similarly good. As others have mentioned, there is a refreshing diversity of guests in this place (and I don't just mean racial diversity). There were a bunch of 20-somethings (some a bit hipsterish and others in their Sunday best), a few families (one with three generations represented!), and one or two older couples. After only being in Nashville for about a year, it often feels quite segregated and that's one of the only things I really don't like about it. This place helps you forget about that. When we were leaving, our server said we should come back sometime for the jazz nights, spend some time with others from the community. I think we'll do that!

My husband and I tried this place after a recommendation from one of my colleagues who lives in the area. I don't know by what stroke of luck we managed to do so, but with it being Valentine's weekend, they were serving the red velvet pancakes. All I can say is, if you are able to go before the month is over, you MUST try them. It is obvious the owner spent a lot of time working to get them just perfect... moist, tender, the right amount of cocoa, and just the right size. 3 delicious pancakes topped with whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce, and served with maple syrup on the side--one of the few times I have ever allowed anyone to put whipped cream on my pancakes. With a side of scrambled eggs and turkey sausage, I couldn't have been happier. The fact that I'm pregnant and they had "fauxmosas" (without alcohol) was nice, too. We will be coming back here, and when we do, they had several omelettes that looked enticing as well as bananas foster pancakes. The staff was super friendly and the decor/fireplace created a nice ambience.
