Excellent spot for the budget-minded traveler. You can easily get a filling made from scratch breakfast for less than $5. There is always a wait on the weekends, but it usually goes pretty quickly, but if waiting isn’t your thing, they also have a drive-thru!

My weekend guests: This is my favorite brunch spot in all of Nashville, but you have to get there early to avoid the line. It fills up very quickly. They do a "Bluegrass Brunch" with a live bluegrass band providing entertainment while you brunch! They offer a full bottomless bloody mary bar and $15 bottomless mimosas that they refill constantly. My go to order is the chicken and waffles.
They also have a downstairs area that is swanky and has more of a speakeasy type of vibe about it if you find yourself there in the evening.

Suzy Wong's is great all the time, but it is especially fantastic for brunch! You will need to call in advance to make sure you can get a table, but they do Drag 'n' Brunch, which is exactly what it sounds like. You will get the pleasure of enjoying a drag show while you feast on brunch! My go-to order is the Hong King Millionaire, and a fishbowl if you are with an alcohol friendly bunch.
