The Picnic Cafe

For almost 40 years, the Picnic Café (http://www.thepicniccafe.com/) has been one of the most visited breakfast and lunch spots in Nashville.  It is not uncommon to see a line form outside the door with visitors hoping to find a seat.  Their menu is consistently good and the staff is dedicated to keeping people happy with salads, warm soups, sandwiches, savory quiche, casseroles, and homemade desserts.  Two of their top sellers are their frozen fruit salad and picnic tea punch.  I got the chicken salad sandwich and potato salad, which are also very popular. Oh... and I had to try their coconut cake, of course! One of my favorite things about the place is the décor.  The theme of the Picnic Café is blue and white everything.  There are blue and white plates, tablecloths, signage, you name it! You'll also find white picket fences in-between the tables in the dining room.  It's a unique environment that is perfect for ladies' luncheons, get togethers with your girlfriends, or just to come on your own during your lunch break.  Take a tour of a historic home in the area (there are several) and then stop at the Picnic Café for a unique lunch outing.  I can't wait to come back and try their breakfast menu!
