Best Breakfast in Nashville: The Buttermilk Ranch

While there are many great spots for breakfast in Nashville (see this list of some of Nashville’s best brunch options!), the Buttermilk Ranch stands out as a favorite for good reason – delicious food, good vibes, and great service! Here’s a local’s perspective on one of the best breakfast in Nashville: the Buttermilk Ranch.

Located on busy 12South, you will have a wait for this restaurant – so get your name on that list early and wander around looking for murals and shopping while you wait. But, once you’re in, it will be so worth it!

The beautiful pastry display greeting you upon arrival is your first sign that this place is going to be good. Settle in for a boozy brunch with 4 different coffee cocktails (including a traditional espresso martini, of course!) or a variety of mimosas and bloody Mary’s. Or, sip on some locally brewed cold brew or fresh juice.

The menu offers both sweet and savory options, and I recommend sharing both so you get a little of everything. The menu updates seasonally, so ask your waiter for recommendations on the latest specials.

Vibes are immaculate – it’s giving ski lodge, with lush greenery and plenty of natural light. Dress is very casual, but also a cute sundress or brunch outfit will not look out of place.

And, aside from the wait, I’ve always had really great service at BMR, enhancing the experience even further. (And if you’re really in a hurry, they offer walk-up service for pastries and coffee!)

So, is the Buttermilk Ranch worth the hype? Absolutely. But, go with patience (or at an off time) so you can fully enjoy the experience at the best breakfast in Nashville: the Buttermilk Ranch.

P.S. Wondering what to wear to breakfast in Nashville? Here are some ideas:

Check out this ruffled bodysuit, and pair it with some breezy palazzo pants, or go for a pretty sundress or chic pantsuit. Add these cute Crocs sandals (yes, I said cute and crocks in the same sentence!) or these Hermes dupes, and finish it off with a cute crossbody bag.
For winter vibes, keep the bodysuit, swap the palazzos for trouser jeans, and grab a suede blazer and some fashion sneakers for a put together look.
