Anyone who is familiar with the Nashville dining scene knows that the city has seen an explosion of hip, sleek, new restaurants in the last five years. Everywhere serves its own version of $10 avocado toast, and every restaurant has some version of gold-accented mid-century modern decor. But there’s one bastion of classic Americana food in downtown Nashville that is still both affordable and absolutely delicious. The next time you want a true diner meal in Nashville, you need to head to the Hermitage Cafe.
