Adele's

Adele’s turned a former auto repair shop in The Gulch into an open-kitchen dining room where weekend brunch is one of its busiest appointments. The buffet brings together salads, bagels, eggs, waffles, biscuits and gravy, bacon, chicken, salmon and seasonal dishes; it is more than breakfast, serving as a long meal with stations and desserts. The official menu checked lists US$39 for adults and US$18 for children aged 5–12, plus an 18% gratuity for parties of six or more. It is generous, though not the city’s cheapest option.

Diners’ accounts repeatedly mention the breadth of the spread, the quality of brunch and service that suits celebrations; some stress that the room fills up and a booking makes the visit easier. The price makes sense for guests who want to sample several dishes and linger, not for anyone needing only a quick breakfast. The buffet is served at specific times and its contents may change with the season. Southern cooking and seasonal produce bring the menu close to Nashville’s food culture without making it a themed buffet.

Adele’s is at 1210 McGavock St, Nashville, TN 37203, in The Gulch; the published phone number is (615) 988-9700. The buffet is listed Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with reservations available on the website. If travelling with children or managing allergies, share your needs in advance: the restaurant says it can accommodate some restrictions with specially prepared dishes. To compare the true cost, add tax, drinks and the automatic gratuity for larger parties; booking helps prevent a long wait from taking over a sightseeing morning.
