Touted by celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, the Nashville-based Picnic Cafe is an experience for the taste buds and the memory books. The fun atmosphere paired with sweet southern hospitality makes for an enjoyable meal, one that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Give your taste buds a break, you foodies, and let’s return to the basics in life – care to go on a picnic?
The Picnic was founded in 1983 by Kathy Bennet, and has since made a name for itself here in Nashville.
Everything is homemade daily, fresh and right at home in their kitchen. Fresh ingredients and family recipes pepper the menu of this beloved spot.
