If you’ve spent any time in Germantown, you’ve probably walked past Germantown Cafe and thought, “I should try that spot.” Yeah… you should.
It’s right in the middle of one of the best neighborhoods in Nashville and somehow works for pretty much any vibe. Easy brunch, casual dinner, date night, or just grabbing drinks. It never feels too fancy but still feels like you went somewhere solid.
The space is exactly what you want over there. Big windows, good energy, and a patio that’s tough to beat when the weather’s nice. You can pull up dressed however and feel fine, which is always a good sign.
Food is just consistently good. Nothing feels overcomplicated, they just execute. It’s New American with a little Southern touch and it all feels really dialed in. You can tell they’ve been doing this for a while.
But honestly, one of the best moves here is late night on Saturdays. They run a separate happy hour menu that not everyone knows about, and the prices are way better than you’d expect for a spot like this. You can grab a $7 Old Fashioned, which feels illegal in Germantown, plus some solid food options that are perfect for splitting.
Germantown Cafe is just one of those go-to spots that always delivers. Good food, good drinks, great location. You end up going once and then somehow it becomes part of your regular rotation.

🔎 Last Eaten Review: Plum Pork
The Plum Pork is one of those dishes that doesn’t look like it’s trying to do too much, but it just hits. The pork is super tender with a nice sear on it, and the plum sauce adds a little sweetness that works really well without being over the top. It’s got that perfect balance where nothing feels too heavy, but it still feels like a solid, filling meal. Just one of those dishes you keep going back for another bite without even thinking about it. Definitely a sleeper pick on the menu.
Grilled Tenderloin + Mashed Potatoes + Green Beans + Plum Sauce
