Meridee Reviews

Went to grab breakfast with a friend. Had the omelette that came with a cinnamon roll. Delicious food and good conversation. The environment of this restaurant was perfect.

1 Star Is Too High A Score - horribly rude when asked about gluten free options! Actually told "don't eat here" when asked about food options when ordering. Unbelievable!! And I am local, wanting to experience this place with a friend from out of the country... Inexcusably rude and never, ever plan to attempt to eat here or encourage others to be potentially treated so terribly... #GetAClue

All the food is so good, it is hard to decide what to choose!

Delicious bakery; don t leave without stopping in for a treat

Five stars for coming through on the perfect little wedding cake. Four star review because ... closed on Sunday, resulting in a wedding brunch crisis (Communication sigh).

Food is really great, but be patient! It does take a while for food to come out.

It doesn't matter what you order. You will be satisfied.

Great place with great prices. You get your money worth of food. Definitely will come back if we are in town.

Good freshly made breakfast and fresh fruit. They also have some speciality blends for coffee. Can't go wrong with anything.

I love the place .... the work team, all very organized and clean, the employees super friendly and attentive and not to mention the confectionery, all delicious I want to return !!!! THANKS

loved it!!! my friends and i had brunch and really enjoyed :)

You cannot visit Historical Franklin without eating at Merridee s!!!

The wait was long and the system for tables and food were slow and not really working well.
The food was not bad but not as great as others have stated.

Husband and daughter have a sweet tooth, so wanted to check it out. A lot of backed goods. The pumpkin spice coffee did not taste like pumpkin or spice. The service from the young man at the register.

Little on the pricey side, but great downtown venue.

What a great place, I just wish the coffee wasn't self service.

Excellent food but ...bought 9 cookies and when i saw how clerk was shoving them into one bag I politely asked her to use two bags so cookies wouldnt break. She continued shoving and I politely said, please dont break the cookies. She finished shoving and glibly replied, I wont break them. Sadly most of the cookies were broken so was not able to use them for guest party dessert. Shame on me for not insisting! Shame on the management for not properly training their employees. Will go back again but will insist on better handling of baked goods. Cassidy was the clerk that shoved cookies into one bag. Also not sure if anyone at the restaurant reads these reviews because all the responses are the same.

the setting, atmosphere and staff were great. We ordered a pecan cinnamon roll, breakfast burrito and coffee. The pecan roll was good but definitely not the best I've ever had. Coffee was fantastic and probably drank more than i should have. The breakfast burrito was good but for over $8 i expected something bigger. Again it was good, but should be priced around $5 or less. We also got a loaf of bread to go but have not tried it yet. Overall the place is great and we will go back, I'll just skip the breakfast burrito next time.

Even though my parents and I unknowingly came in 5 minutes before they closed, they still let us stay after to sit and enjoy our order! Fantastic food, fantastic employees, and fantastic service! Just all around fantastic!

It's a Franklin staple. From its pies to it dinner entrees. Place has grown over the years. And they donate to local groups if something isnt sold. Great part of the downtown community.

Stumbled across with place while actually going to another restaurant and opted to eat here since it was closer to our parking. Glad I did!!! Homemade pies and bread. Lovely place. Food was great, friendly staff. We will be going back.

Absolutely fantastic! From baked goods to homemade soup, sandwiches to full dinners and most everything in between, great food. Great find in downtown Franklin!!

Amazing food and great atmosphere. I love this place

1st time and the food was very good.
Interesting choices of bread and bakery items.

Good food but it would be nice if the ones delivering your food would be more friendly. They seem mad.

Great selection of pies, pastries and cookies. They also make several different types of bread. Soup and sandwiches are very good.

Great place to get a at home style meal! You order first and then find a seat with a place marker that will show the food runners where to deliver your food. dont be scared away by if the lines are long they move quickly and its more than worth it!

Meal variety. Food quality. Personel quality. Bar none. Highly recommend.

I love how the food feels homemade. I can't get enough of the pasta salad, and I like when it's difficult for me to decide which pie to get.

Skip it. The most unorganized restaurant experience in town. Cramped tables, no one knows when breakfast stops and lunch begins. Was told at the register that if we order lunch it will take a minimum 30 minutes because they hadn't started preparing lunch yet (11:00 am). That's understandable untill we were told that it was also too late to order breakfast. If you get black coffee go ahead and burn your tongue with it because Exxon has better coffee. They still get one star because their specialty coffee drinks are good . Also the bathrooms are closed for cleaning right in the middle of whatever rush this is because I'm still not sure what meal they're serving, and was just approached by an employee to tell me half of what we did manage to order is now unavailable because they don't have it. This place sucks. Save yourself Go anywhere else.

The service is friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious.

The stuffed French toast is amazing, but too sweet. No syrup necessary! All of the baked goods are delicious. Can't go wrong for breakfast. There's a reason it's SRO!

This was my favorite breakfast when I was in the Nashville area. Highly recommended.

Awesome place for breakfast. The food is amazing, the baked goods are very tasty, and the coffee is good. Plan to stand in line if you go on the weekend because it is a very popular spot. Free parking garage across the street.

Great food options. They have the best sandwiches. My favorites are the Philly cheese, the Monte Cristo, and the Ruben. Their pies are amazing too!

Came here for the first time today and got a Iced Americano.... I have to say this was the BEST ESPRESSO I have had around Franklin. Didnt get a chance to try the food yet but as far as the coffee goes it's among the best I've ever had. Everyone was also very nice and accommodating !!! Highly recommend !!!

Great lunches. Save room for marvelous desserts from the bakery. They pack items to go also!

Love this quaint little jewel! Great coffee drinks, bakery cookies and pies and delicious sandwiches and soup! Right in the heart of historic downtown Franklin!

Absolutely delicious! The food and pie were excellent and everyone working there was so incredibly nice..

Good food. Pastries were excellent.
Didn t give 5 stars because it was difficult with even just two kids and two adults to find seating, get our coffee and waters, etc. Felt I spent most my time walking back and forth from farthest table to the counter getting things we needed, jam, syrup, spoon etc.

Excellent small town charm, even when the Franklin downtown has outgrown that feel.

Good place for a quick bite. Monte Carlo was amazing

Best tuna melt I've ever had! Love the outdoor seating as well.

I had a pecan cinnamon roll and it was magical. The nitro-coffee went perfectly with it. Can't wait to come back.

My favorite place to eat in downtown Franklin. Yummy pies and cookies . LOVE the chicken salad and quiche.

This is our favorite meeting spot for standard coffees and breakfast! We come back almost every week.

We love this restaurant because they have good food.

Fresh and delicious foods. Always has a packed house, and a great atmosphere. Their pastries are very good. I recommend them if you're in for a quick and light fare. Great restaurant for those visiting for a small town feel.

If you visit downtown Franklin this is a must particularly for breakfast or lunch. All sorts of coffee drinks, their tea is so good! Any of their desserts since this is a bakery:chess bars, peanut butter pie, any of their cookies. Their soups are all good, my fave is the beer cheese. And then u dip your bread in it. Viking bread is my fave. Come in for whole pies or whole loaves of bread. Chicken salad and other salads, paninis. And they have live music sometimes at night..

Very popular Bakery . Pecan pie keyime, cinnamon rolls. Etc. Closed Sundays. Also sandwich and. Breakfast

Always delicious food here. Fairly fast even when they're busy. Always service with a smile

Merridee's is a must try in Nashville. Their meals, pastries, and coffees are all wonderful! Even when they're packed, the wait for the food usually isn't long. Love this place! (I get the breakfast sandwich or the biscuits and gravy)

Went March 3rd and it was absolutely delicious. Had hands down, the best meatloaf (other than my mommas) Mac and cheese and amazing mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Enjoyed chocolate silk pie. A true gem of franklin!

The food here is made on site and is fresh Daily. There are many healthy options. There are many options from homemade sweet rolls to breads to pies to brownies. You can watch them make the biscuits and the atmosphere is very country like.

Great food, bit overpriced. review would be higher but they just implemented a dumb "dine-in" cup policy. You can no longer get a cup with a lid if you are eating there. But they said they'll give me a Togo cup of I ask when I leave? Just give me a cup to begin with.

QUALITY: The food was enjoyable, but not incredible. Slightly above average. A better choice than Mc-D's or Wendy's or something.

APPEAL: Cool cafe/bakery style place. A very "local" feel.

SERVICE: This is definitely their weak point. You receive your orders as they are finished, so you may get called to the counter to pick something up (taco bell-style) several times. The preparation is pretty slow when they're busy - the only things that I ordered that weren't ready made were an omelette and a coffee, and it took about five minutes for the coffee ( and they had a separately dedicated-drink-guy working) and about 20 minutes for the omelette (with 5-6 people working total). They are loud enough when they call you, but they don't enunciate well and it's noisy in there (I know it sounds stupid, but it's kind of annoying). I had things left out of my order (that didn't make it onto my ticket), and I didn't receive things that I did order (were on my ticket). And if this happens, they are very busy so it's an ordeal to have your order corrected. A few items are also a bit expensive. I paid $7 for a smalllll omelette (maybe a 2 egg-er omelette, with 3 toppings). They are very busy (free parking garage right across the street), so you don't get much attention. The staff is fairly personable and friendly, I felt that the bad aspects of the service manifested from them being so busy.

Worth going to if you're already in the area. My service experience could have been because it was a Saturday morning, I haven't been there multiple times, or when it might not be so busy. I think I would come back again :)

Consistent and comfy. Great coffee and fresh baked goods.

Great homemade food that is wholesome and filling. Amazing pastries, desserts and breads handmade and ready to go home with you. They also have eggs and milk in the fridge if you need.

Large helpings good food. Dont over order like I did.

The chair I was about to sit on was dirty and had food and stains on it. The Pretzel Bites, which were suggested to us, were too salty and the mustard sauce very spicy. One waitress was passive aggressive when we didn t order anything else because the food was clearly too overpriced for its quality. We had to ask thrice for them to bring the check. Overall there is a lot of room for improvement. Not the best place for dinner. Not covering their noses with masks when serving food and not adequate distance between the tables.

Great place right when you enter sweet smells greet you. Food was wonderful and staff very friendly. If you are ever in the neighbor stop by you won't be disappointed. Omlets are great and the fresh man cinnamon rolls are incredible.

What all bakeries should be. I haven't had a meal less than excellent here.
