2025 Centurion Award winner

Awarded against five published criteria, checked on public evidence.

Loveless Cafe

Best Biscuits in Nashville · TN

Restaurant · Nashville, TN · Since 1951

The overview

Biscuits and country ham since 1951

The Loveless Cafe opened in 1951 when Lon and Annie Loveless began serving fried chicken and homemade biscuits to travelers on Highway 100 at the western edge of Nashville. More than seventy years later it's a full-fledged Southern landmark, still turning out scratch-made biscuits with house preserves, country ham, and fried chicken to hundreds of thousands of guests a year.

The old motel courtyard has grown into a campus of shops and a mail-order hams-and-preserves business, but the draw is unchanged: the biscuits, the jams, and a genuinely Nashville sense of welcome that has outlasted every food trend.
