Delicious, easy to get to and foundational to “Old Nashville,” it’s a must-visit for locals and tourists.
Athens Family Diner is located off of the highly popular 8th Avenue, close to the 12th Avenue South shopping district and Belmont University. Open twenty-four hours a day, it's become one of the most popular eateries in the area.

Breakfast is served all day long, but lunch and dinner are also prepared fresh every day. Athens has been voted Nashville's #1 breakfast spot, both for its quality and affordability.
Come for everything from breakfast sandwiches to falafel, from spanakopita and hummus to an NYC Reuben sandwich.
We'd highly recommend the famed (and famous!) American burger, whether you choose the four-cheese burger with fries or a turkey burger with a salad on the side. The Greek platters, served with salad, pita, and Tzatziki, remain one of the most popular options on the menu.
This low-key local eatery is a local gem for a reason, and it comes highly recommended by locals, especially if you're looking for an affordable and hefty meal.
Address: 2526 8th Ave S, Berry Hill, TN 37204
