Really good food. Not an overpriced tourist go-to, it is a place to get a full serving of yummy chicken chili, a fabulous juicy burger or other great meals at competitive prices. A bit loud but with the preshow crowds it needs to be. If you don't try the chips you will miss a treat.
Met up with a couple of friends before going to see a show at the Ryman and hung out here for about an hour. Ordered a couple of drinks which were rather expensive ($15 for a simple cocktail) but good. We didn't order any food but the other patron's dishes looked pretty high quality/appetizing. All in all, not a terrible place to pop into before a show.
Spent the day there at a conference hosted on-site. The staff was amazing and were able to anticipate everyone's needs. If they saw an empty drink - they filled it, dirty plate - they picked it up.
The food was excellent. There was several options so there was something for even the pickiest of eaters. I also enjoyed the overall vibe/decor of the cafe. It was bright (lots of windows) and lively.
This establishment is one for the books! The overall atmosphere of Cafe Lula makes you feel as if you've walked into a palace and in turn you're treated like royalty. The staff's awareness of your needs is impeccable, my glass was never empty. As for the food, the large array of menu options was exhilarating. I personally stuck with a classic, Prime Rib, which was original, but done to perfection.
Wanted something other than burgers or BBQ. Had delicious chicken vegetable soup and hubby had chicken salad sandwich with homemade chips. Both were excellent. A nice refreshing place, also serves some great looking salads. They roast their own chicken right there. Lunch for under $20.00!
Good vibes, great music, sublime spicy chickpea burger! I want to visit again before I go, and that’s saying a lot for being in Nashville for just a few days’s visit. Don’t miss this little gem- stop for a London Fog and a muffin after your must tour of the Ryman Auditorium. You’ll be glad you did!
Cafe at the Ryman. Comfortable environment, friendly service. We came here to grab a quick bite to hold us over until dinner and were treated to live music! The very talented Morgan Alexander plays here every Friday. So come enjoy acoustic entertainment while sipping coffee.
Great place for a quick bite to eat after touring the Ryman Auditorium. My wife had the pimento and cheese and I had the Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles. Both dishes were wonderful!
Fabulous. Great coffee and espresso drinks, plus snacks, lunch and dinner menu. Clean, friendly and quick. Perfect to grab a decent bite downtown anytime, or certainly before your show at the Ryman.
Spent the day there at a conference hosted on-site. The food was excellent and the overall vibe/decor (lots of windows) created a great learning environment for our group of 50 or so. If you're hosting an event and this space is available it is a wonderful alternative to the traditional hotel meeting room/ballroom.
