SideKicks Café

Friendly, down home vibe.
Great food and coffee and reasonably priced.
The coffee's great.
They give you a cup and you pour it and doctor it up yourself.
Easy and fast to get to from East Nashville - just stay on Ellington Parkway (through the Briley interchange).
Safety tip: enter and exit from the rear off Briarville Rd.

Over medium eggs are fried eggs that have been cooked like sunny-side-up eggs but are then flipped over to cook for another one to two minutes.
The white is fully cooked with a crispy brown edge, while the yolk is still partially runny, with a creamy consistency.
I quote this because I was so hopeful of this place.
Great atmosphere.
However, I ordered my eggs over medium.
When I received them, the whites were runny.
I paid 18.90 plus a four dollar tip.
The biscuits were great.
The toast and sausage were great.
The eggs failed.
As a culinary teacher, I knew what medium eggs were, but my approach was that I asked if I ordered the eggs incorrectly when I ordered medium...
I indicated I thought the whites would be cooked.
I also prefaced that I did not want to offend, but the eggs were not to my liking.
I was told that medium eggs have runny whites.
Then I was told that I should have ordered s rambled eggs to be on the safe side.
The ringer occurred while I offered a smile during this entire conversation....
I was told, now you know!" And she walked away.
I wonder how much two eggs would have cost the owner to make a happy and returning customer? Granted, the place is only as good as its employees and employees make a difference.
I am fairly certain that this was an employee, not the owner..
but maybe the owner will now make certain that guests are happy and the employees treat guests accordingly.
If you stop in, do not tip until you get your meal, and please order the biscuits they are the best I have ever had.

Visiting family in Nashville and saw this little place on the way in.
We decided to stop on the way out for breakfast as we love small "Mom-n-Pop" restaurants.
Super cute inside.
It's a small menu and you pretty much self-serve, but it's great quality, cooked fresh, and they have a nice little selection of baked treats also.
Definitely recommend.
Exactly the little home town places we love.
