Biscuit Love Gulch
RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where Southern tradition meets modern craft, Biscuit Love Gulch Nashville has transformed the humble biscuit into an art form that draws devoted lines around the block. This bustling breakfast haven in Nashville's vibrant Gulch district represents the evolution of comfort food, elevating scratch-made Southern classics into Instagram-worthy culinary experiences that satisfy both locals and discerning travelers.
Founded by culinary school graduates Karl and Sarah Worley, Biscuit Love began as a humble food truck in 2012 before establishing its flagship brick-and-mortar location in 2015. The Worleys' commitment to made-from-scratch cooking and community-focused hospitality has earned national recognition, including Bon Appétit's "Best Sandwich of 2015" for their legendary East Nasty and praise from Food Network's Alton Brown, who declared their shrimp and grits the finest he'd ever tasted. This James Beard-worthy attention to craft has positioned Biscuit Love among Nashville's most celebrated dining destinations.
The menu showcases Southern breakfast and brunch reimagined through artisanal technique and premium local sourcing. Signature buttermilk biscuits serve as the foundation for the iconic East Nasty—a perfectly seasoned fried chicken thigh crowned with aged cheddar and house-made sausage gravy. The Princess elevates Nashville hot chicken with pickles, mustard, and honey, while the Instagram-famous Bonuts transform fried biscuit dough into donut-style perfection, served with lemon mascarpone and blueberry compote. Beyond biscuits, the Southern Benny reinvents eggs Benedict with pulled pork, and their celebrated shrimp and grits presents a symphony of seasoned Gulf shrimp over creamy cheese grits. Every dish reflects their partnership with regional purveyors like Bear Creek Sausage, Benton's Bacon, and Tennessee Real Milk.
The Gulch location buzzes with energy from its open kitchen and rustic-contemporary design that balances Southern charm with urban sophistication. Counter service maintains the approachable atmosphere while efficient staff deliver genuine hospitality that reflects the Worleys' philosophy of nurturing community. The no-reservations policy creates an egalitarian experience where anticipation builds as guests queue for what many consider Nashville's finest breakfast. The visible kitchen showcases the scratch-cooking process, while the lively dining room accommodates both intimate conversations and celebratory gatherings.
For the ultimate Nashville fine dining breakfast experience, arrive early to minimize wait times, though the anticipation only heightens the satisfaction of these extraordinary Southern classics. Biscuit Love Gulch represents more than a meal—it's a masterclass in how traditional comfort food can achieve culinary excellence through unwavering commitment to craft and community.
