Great place for brunch. The atmosphere, decor & service fabulous and the food was AMAZING! We got the breakfast tacos & the creme brulee french toast (we shared both). Loved the sauces they serve I ordered some when we got home.

We wanted breakfast while we were in Nashville and we had been past here so we made it a point to stop in. They were busy, so we had a 15 minute wait. We were seated at the counter and were waited on immediately. The waitresses were very quick, they kept it moving. Our waitress took our order and the food was brought out very quickly. It was delicious. This is a great place to eat! I cant wait to stop here on my next visit.

This has got to be one of the best breakfast spots in downtown. Its a relatively small place with a pretty small menu, but the food is excellent and the service is friendly. The cheese crusted wrap was delicious and very filling. The coffee was good and our waitress kept my cup filled. They even have delicious, small batch ketchup! If youre looking for a low key breakfast spot, you need to give this place a try.

I loved my visit here!! The guy working the counter was insanely personable and entertaining. My breakfast sandwich was delicious and I loved the potatoes they served. I also tried the breakfast tacos and the pork in them was tender and so flavorful!! I would definitely return!!

Nate the Great was fantastic in accommodating such a big group, he was fast and so pleasant to have around! He made our day great! Food was great also and all was clean ! We thank him so much, he surely deserves a promotion!!All right all right !

Best place in Nashville to start your day~ Nathan the great was our server this morning and had just the best vibe! Minimal wait if youre eating on your own or in a pair, if a party of 2 or more expect or be okay with sitting apart~ Super fast service, tasty food and coffee, generous portions and good music. 11/10 would go again 💙

These days it’s rare to get good customer service but this place definitely has it. The waitress was amazing as well as the food. It’s hard to find good breakfast spots. I loved it!

Cute set up for this breakfast place that is open all day! Food was phenomenal - the open concept where you could see your food cooked was cool. Packed place with a fast turn around for food and extremely clean. I had chicken and waffles and my fiancé had the short rib hash- DELICIOUS!

Great environment, love the decor! Food was great, came out pretty fast! Slightly pricey but not unreasonable for the portion size and quality! Will definitely be back!

Located in the Heart of Music City beside the Johnny Cash Museum on 3rd Street near Broadway. Sun Diner offers southern hospitality and gourmet cuisine day and night. Our specially designed menu compliments the unique interior that celebrates Sun Records’ legendary artists we have recognized for decades. The Creme Brulee French Toast is so good its been outlawed in most states. The service is fast and friendly and they treat their guests like superstars.There is something special cookin in their kitchen, stuff that culinary dreams are made of. Dasmine, one of the staff members came out to greet me. Made my night. This is beyond southern hospitality, its Nashville hot.The Sun Records sound was a fusion of rock & roll and country music (or hillbilly, as it was called in the 50’s) that was labeled rockabilly. The Sun sound was exemplified by early Sun recordings made by Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison.

We were in town for a speaking event and our host from Explore My Town Nashville suggested that we try this place. It was great. The atmosphere, location were perfect. The short rib hash A+mazing. The staff were all friendly. Def worth the trip!

This is the old Sun Records recording studio that Elvis Presley was signed to. It has great memorabilia and the vibe is so much fun. The people are all genuinely nice but the best part is the food was delicious for all three of us. large portions and very tasty. Highly recommend.

Our meals were delicious and EXTREMELY affordable! For the French Toast and the Angus Burger with 2 coffees, it cost less than $33! The service was AMAZING, both the hostess and the waitress. The layout is also perfect as well. Youre even able to see your food be made if you want to.

Best country-fried steak I’ve ever had.

Great little diner. We ordered the breakfast tacos and the French toast. DELICIOUS.

The French toast here is to die for. We went back twice and my family still talks about how good it was. The staff was welcoming and friendly and we would definitely return.

Great spot for breakfast! Don’t be intimidated by the line, it moves pretty quickly. I ordered the chicken and waffles minus the sausage gravy-super good! I like the set up, atmosphere and the vibe. Definitely recommend.

Get there early or wait on line. But its worth the wait. The gravy and biscuits were delicious

Did a short trip to Nashville and had to stop at sun diner for breakfast it was all the reviews sayTry the pork belly and steak yummmmThe chicken and waffles were pretty good … they did not have hot tea but besides that it was perfectGreat for kids and adultsService is quick and fast … and clean

For a breakfast main attraction, the wait went by fairly fast! Delicious sausage gravy, and the fluffiest Belgian waffle; it was exactly what my boyfriend and I needed after a night out in the music city :)

The best chicken n waffles Ive ever had. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!! Sun Diner is upscale wafflehouse. The staff was so kind and funny. The vibes were laid back. Excellent food. Just outstanding. An absolute must if you are in Nashville!

So much food for the price! And super yummy (got the creme brulee french toast, but everything looked amazing)! Fun place with good service. Waiter even suggested we split the dish, and he was right!

We absolutely loved this place! Every single person who worked there was friendly! The menu is small, but everything we had was so delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping in!

Excellent service and food! Chicken fried steak was great!

Walked over to the Sun Dinner for breakfast on the last day of our visit to Nashville. Great food, I really enjoyed the french toast. The servers were friendly and efficient. Great place to get a bite to eat. We got right in on a Wednesday at 7:30am, however I saw lines down the block when I went passed later in the day.

The best breakfast spot in Nashville. Make sure to try the Donut Breakfast Sandwich. Destiny took great care of us, went above and beyond. Y’all make sure she gets employee of the month! Food was delicious! Will be back soon!

Absolutely phenomenal food, and great service. Loved the unique bar arrangement for most of the seating. The Crème Brûlée French Toast was without a doubt the star of the show with our group, but I enjoyed the Chicken and Waffles just as much. Wishing I could take some of the Nashville Hot Chicken Sauce home with me too. So glad I got to go here before leaving Nashville.

Delicious food at a very affordable price, also a very nice staff who go out of their way to give you a great service. Highly recommended!

Truly country & southern experience. We had to wait around 20 min to be sitted but the food was worth it. The ambiance and music make it a great place to be.

Great food, but get there EARLY!

I wish I could tell you not to come.....so we would always have a seat!!! This place was GREAT. Daphne, Nate and the manager David made sure we had what we needed 😊 Table touches from the whole team and genuine TLC. Thanks DAVID!!! Southern hospitality mixed with GREAT food quality. We sent back empty plates each visit and stuffed our faces with nice portions. Cant wait to come back. We hope you bring this historical SUN RECORDS diner to Tampa Bay!!! Much love from your new florida friends. Thank you for helping to make our 1st trip to Nashville a memorable one. Cheers!!!!

We chose the tacos and the french toast. Both were great

Everything a diner should be. Quick friendly service even while running a full house. Had the cheese and egg wrap and the hash skillet, delicious! Great job everyone, thanks for making our Nashville mornings kick off with a warm and friendly boost!

Its worth the wait. Do you really have to sit with the people you came with? Youll see them all day. Take an empty stool and make some friends. The donut egg sandwich is excellent! Its the only way to almost make a donut healthy. We purchased a sunny yellow mug so we can remember the good times we had and look forward to one day making it back.

If you want great food and great service, you must come here. It is a great diner with wonderful staff and more food then you can eat. WE had over the course of our stay in Nashville the Chicken and Waffles, Breakfast Wrap, Million Dollar Quartet,and Lets do the Twist. All were GREAT and all are large enough to split, (but we didnt :)Highly recommend.

Country fried steak, Belgium waffles, and short rib hash were amazing. Great wait staff as well. Not a lot of seats but a must visit if in town 👍

Food was excellent, the service was extremely quick and the wait staff was kind, and the atmosphere was top notch. Definitely recommend stopping by for breakfast!

Everything was GREAT!!!!! The service was exceptional very friendly waitress. Food came out quick and it was SO DELICIOUS!!!!! We had the chicken and waffles and the omelet with potatoes. Cant say enough good about it. Go try it you will not be disappointed...

Our favorite breakfast diner right next to Johnny Cash Museum.

Went with the family for breakfast & it was good. They’re primarily bar style set up so be prepared for a comradely experience with good food for good prices. You don’t have the typical leave your name & wait for em to call. You just come up & fall in line. The atmosphere is welcoming & warm. Worth a trip to grab good food & create good memories.

Cafe for sure! There are 3 larger U shaped counters that are set right off the open kitchen... excellent setup for viewing your food being cooked and excellent wait staff to serve you hot, fresh, and delicious food! The root vegetables were scrumptious with a lite seasoning tossed about. The french twisted toast gave you a perfect reason to try the Tennessee maple syrup... Yum! We had a minute wait before we were seated, but was worth ever second! Love the decor, the staff friendliness, and the FOOD! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesome food! There was a line to get in that went FAST. Food was FAST. Friendly and clean staff. Great music and not too loud. Had football on too.

Very cool place with memorabilia on the walls. The food was good, the price was fair. Only bad thing and reason for 3 stars is the menu is not very big.

Fun and friendly diner with so much cool history...you have to visit when in Nashville.

Best breakfast around in Nashville! Diner speed with upscale restaurant service and food quality!! Chicken and waffles, roast rib hash and French toast were awesome!!

Tried the donut breakfast sandwich. 2 homemade sausages & fried egg between donuts. Surprisingly good!! The potatoes were really good also.

I just went to the Sun Diner! I had the Feelin good breakfast burrito. Good food great atmosphere and fun downtown. Lots to see!

Food Was Great, Servers were sweet and welcoming and helpful with the menu. Its very small inside, like less than 45seats. Go as early in morning as you can or plan to wait for a long time. L: Side order of Bacon&a Waffle C: Twist cremebrule front toast R:Chicken & Waffles

Cool little place with good food and interesting decor. I had the chicken and waffles and really enjoyed it. My son had the donut breakfast sandwich and liked it also. The service was excellent as well. Would definitely recommend.

This was my 1st time in Nashville. I came to visit some family my fiancé and I, so we decided to have some brunch before heading back to NC. We picked this little diner the chicken and waffles were pretty good. The chicken had a little bit of spicy to it but it was tasty. Allison our server was very polite and helpful. Great customer service. I would recommend this place if your in the mood for brunch or a quick lunch.

Fast service and great food. I loved the Nashville hot chicken. Great flavor and heat.

Food and customer was superb. They also give you large portions.

Fantastic food. Great staff.Destiny is an outstanding hostess and got customers seated promptly while the place was packed with a small wait.Alison gave ROCK STAR service and catered to our every need.Food came out quickly and tasted absolutely delicious 😋.

Holy smoke stacks. Do not be scared of the line, it moves fast but get in the line. No one is going to hold your hand. The food is everything. From Scratch, huge portions and d.lish.us.

This place is awesome. I had the cinnamon bread French toast with creme brulee sauce. It also had fruit and whipped cream. It was delicious. The hash browns were just okay for 3.95 but everything else was great. There were a lot of photos and memorabilia on the walls. It was very busy on a Saturday morning. I highly recommend this place.

Now thats a breakfast all day restaurant. Went two days in a row because it was soooo good. Always a line but it moves quickly and the most common statement as people are leaving (to the people in line), its worth the wait. It was!

Great food. Waitress was amazing.

Ambiance, food and service were all exceptional! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was searching for a Breakfast Restaurant on my walk toward Broadway on 3rd Ave South and discovered the Sun Diner. This was a very pleasant and enjoyable place for breakfast. Its history is related to the famous Sun Record Label of Rockabilly fame back in the good old early days of Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Elvis, ..... Plenty of celebrity pictures speckled the walls. I had the Pick Three Omelette with sausage, mushrooms, and onions. So very good! I added some tasty home fries just to increase my caloric intake. They were very good. I would go back anytime. 😋

Loved it!! While the noise outside was obnoxious the diner inside was calm cool and felt like the perfect hideaway from all the tourists walking around. The food was on point if you’re looking for dinner food. I had the Breakfast Sandwich for $10.95 but I swapped out the salmon for bacon and it was amazing!! They really loaded the sandwich with perfect crispy bacon. The staff was so sweet, friendly and helpful at making good suggestions. I love when the staff knows how to interact with their customers. I wish I could come here all the time but I don’t live here.

This place is amazing, the creme brulee french toast is life changing

Great place for late night eats. The Chicken and Waffles are AWESOME! The tacos are great to share. Fun atmosphere for late night fun. Beer and pastry options available. GREAT service.

Amazing food. Would definitely recommend. Creme Brulee French Toast was the BEST!!! Friendly Staff and great service 🤠

Delicious chicken fried steak and eggs!

This place was excellent! Everything was delicious. They have their own syrups and sauces. The hot sauce is soooooo good. They staff was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back next time Im in Nashville!

The place was great. It has multiple flat screen TVs, a wall with photos of Country musics past and a gift shop. Also, the food was delicious.

Yum. Everyone, in my party, loved there food. Service is good too.

You can’t go wrong here.Quick, hot and good.

Nestled next to the Johnny Cash Museum, they had the BEST chicken and waffles I could have asked for after driving from North Carolina. The coffee was amazing, flavorful, and exactly what diner coffee should be.

A really good diner with tons of personality! Our server was a real character. The wait outside is long and the service is slow. However the food is really delicious! Worth a visit for sure!

We loved every minute of it there. The staff was friendly. We had to wait but it was so worth!! Food is amazing. Couldnt recommend this place enough. We loved it. Best food weve had when we were here. Even topped the bbq

The breakfast was really good. The eggs were tasty and the potatoes were cooked to perfection, slightly crispy and crunchy on the outside and seasoned well. Armeshia took great care of us. She took the order without writing anything down and got every detail right.

Expensive but worth it due to location, excellent food and friendly, welcoming service

AAAAAAAAAMAZING waitstaff and food. Visited this diner every day and tried multiple different things while in Nashville and was never disappointed. Also, the staff was the most friendly and fun that we experienced here. We laughed and had fun the entire time we were in the diner. They even remembered names and what we wanted. GREAT PLACE TO EAT!!!!

Such an amazing 24hr Breakfast! Yummy all around. Service is so friendly! They have sauces, shirts and souvenirs.

Food is amazing! Service is very bad! Nathan eas rude all the time! Not worth ir!

Bananas FosterMy husband and I dropped in a for a sweet treat on a Friday afternoon and ordered the pancakes topped with Bananas Foster and we sat at the counter and watched as our pancakes and bananas were cooked to order. The pancakes were light and fluffy and the Bananas Foster topping was delicious!!

Great little diner. Food was delish and service 5 star.

One of the best ways to start your day in nashville, be prepared to wait it’s small and busy but we’ll worth the time. Get the tacos use the green sauce thank me later

I highly recommend the Donut Breakfast Sandwich. It was a really fun, retro diner experience with actually decent prices and AMAZING food. Especially for being downtown, where you can pay $20 for a burger, easy. This place actually had good prices, and I was pleasantly full when I left.

Big portion but very good to eat wonderful customer service would recommend to anyone as a must eat place

I said it was an upscale waffle house. Breakfast tacos were tasty.

If you like retro diners and insanely good late night diner food, this is the place. This was straight foodgasm. The staff was super fun and the nostalgic feel was so great.

This place has some of the best wings in town. And there steak is up there too. Get there before it gets busy later in the night. Youll thank me later. Always good!!!

Nice diner with a great atmosphere and all-bar seating. Excellent french toast!

Nice place. Small had a group of 8 had to be separated. Lots a food.

A downtown Nashville classic, or so I heard. Food was good and it was a cool place to go after visiting downtown.

Excellent food and great waiter!! I would definitely go again

Omg. Everything in here was amazing. The staff, the atmosphere, and most of all the food. You cant go wrong with anything on their menu but the chicken and waffles was better than amazing. The place is open 24 hours and is first come first serve. Enjoy your meal.

Awesome food, great service. Cool atmosphere.

Hangover Flatbread is AMAZING!!! Kellie the best waitress will tell ya, Put the green Chile hot sauce on the eggs it brings out the flavor. Donut Sandwich is great too.

I like to walk around downtown and try new places to eat. Just stumbled into this place and fell in love! The decor is amazing. Never would have thought a restaurant themed after a record company would be great but it is. I had the chicken and waffles with the sausage gravy on the side —- wow!!! It was really great food. Will be going back to try the donut breakfast sandwich.

It was the best breakfast experience I e ever had ! Nathan was the most entertaining and accommodating server ! Thank you thank you !!!

Our party of 2 adults & 1 child had a fantastic breakfast here to begin our vacation. the food was excellent & reasonably priced. it arrived quicker than expected & the hospitality was full of smiles & good spirits. highly satisfied!

Great food and atmosphere. Chicken and waffles were awesome

My new favorite place! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff go above & beyond. When I went I had Amanda as a server—she was very sweet & welcoming! We will definitely frequent this location now!

Good was great! The staff was so fun and friendly.

We were so excited to come here- but when we arrived, the door was locked. No exanation, people inside, but a locked door. Multiple groups also tried to use the door and were upset after discovering it was locked. If there was an emergency, that happens, just put some sort of sign on the door, even if its just a hand written note!

Waiter told the group next to us to F-Off and never come back because they complained about waiting 1.5 hrs for their food. We left without ordering after seeing that, and watched the waiter stare the group in the eyes through the window as he shortly after dumped their ready food into the trash. Weird experience.

Stopped by this place on a busy Saturday and it was such a hidden gem. The breakfast sandwich with salmon was delicious! Unfortunately the short rib hash was underwhelming and didn’t match how great it sounded on the menu. I did like the open seating and the ladies provided awesome service so I will definitely return.
