Famous Quotes What they say about us...

"If you want to taste the best country cooking anywhere, you just need to go to my favorite restaurant, "The Loveless Cafe." Everything they serve is great but my personal favorites are the biscuits, red eye gravy and country ham. You won't find a better biscuit anywhere, and when you top it with their red eye gravy or some of their fine homemade preserves, there just isn't anything better, I guarantee it! Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit." - George Jones

Critic's Choice for Best Resurrection of an Institution: Loveless Café "For more than 50 years, the Loveless Café on Highway 100 was a destination for generations of Nashvillians and a who's-who of visiting celebrities and dignitaries. Sadly, for the last decade, it had been mostly coasting on its reputation. As the restaurant and other buildings on the motel property slipped into disrepair, the kitchen turned out increasingly inferior renditions of its famous hams, jams, biscuits and fried chicken. Happily, Nashville native and caterer to the stars Tom Morales purchased the business and property late last year. With the assistance of history-loving architect Seab Tuck, he has put the love back in the Loveless. All prettied up - with a cheery addition on the back - the restaurant is once again serving up heaping platters of good old country cookin', and dishing out more memories for generations to come." Kay West Nashville Scene October 7, 2004
