Biscuit Love Cincinnati can be walkable from parts of downtown Cincinnati, depending on where you start. Over-the-Rhine is directly north of downtown, but some guests may prefer a short drive, rideshare, or the Connector streetcar, especially in bad weather or if they are coming from the riverfront or stadium area.

What makes the Cincinnati location different from the Nashville locations?
Not usually. Lines can happen at Biscuit Love Cincinnati, especially on Mondays, Fridays, weekends, holidays, and peak brunch hours. The line often moves faster than it looks because guests order before being seated, and the kitchen starts preparing food soon after orders are placed.
I see a line outside. Am I going to spend my entire morning waiting?
The best time to visit for a shorter wait is usually earlier in the morning or outside the late-morning brunch rush. Weekdays are generally easier than weekends. Mondays, Fridays, weekends, and holidays tend to be the busiest days.

Biscuit Love has options beyond heavier biscuit dishes. Depending on the current menu, guests may find egg dishes, bowls, sides, fruit, salads, or lighter brunch options. Check the current Cincinnati menu before visiting because menu items can change.
What if someone in my group doesn’t want a heavy Southern breakfast?
Biscuit Love is not a certified gluten-free restaurant and does not offer gluten-free biscuits. Food is prepared from scratch in a shared kitchen where flour is used daily, so cross-contact is possible. Guests with allergies or dietary restrictions should review the allergy guide and ask the team before ordering.

Yes. Biscuit Love Cincinnati serves brunch drinks, including coffee, tea, non-alcoholic drinks, and brunch cocktails. Check the current Cincinnati menu for available drink options.

Does Biscuit Love Cincinnati host private events?
Yes. Biscuit Love Cincinnati is kid-friendly and casual. Families visit for breakfast and brunch, especially before or after walking around Over-the-Rhine, visiting Findlay Market, or spending time downtown.
Is Biscuit Love Cincinnati kid-friendly?
Yes, but large groups should be prepared for first-come, first-served seating. If you are dining with a large party, let the register team know when you are in line. Biscuit Love will do its best to accommodate your group, but groups may be seated separately during busy times.
Is Biscuit Love Cincinnati good for groups?
Small bags and carry-ons are usually manageable, but larger luggage can be difficult during busy brunch hours because dining room space is limited. If possible, leave larger bags at your hotel, car, or another secure place before dining in.

This is the place! Best breakfast place in Nashville! Maybe everywhere! The server Jay was amazing! Seriously one of the nicest guys we have meet. The manager John was also super amazing! The food! amazing!!!! Totally a place to go! I went with the East Nasty with an over easy egg! So delicious!!!!
Google Reviewer: Bobby Dunlap

Biscuit Love absolutely lives up to the hype! The food was incredible — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and everything you want in a Nashville brunch spot. But what really made our visit unforgettable was the service. The staff was so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Jaden and the rest of the crew made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. Great food brings you in, but phenomenal service is what will keep me coming back. Highly recommend!
Google Reviewer: Erika Azizian

I'll just start by saying this is THE brunch spot of Nashville. Service was like being in a Michelin Star restaurant. I had the East Nasty and my wife had the Southern Benny. BOTH were amazing. Don't forget to try the BONUTS. Special Shoutout to JAY and the entire staff. JUST GO. Dont listen to the "Karen's" in those other reviews. U wont regret it.
