Put name on waitlist before going it definitely gets busy. We ended up sitting at the bar had Becca as our bartender. It was so nice we came back the next day. We had gluten free egg scramble with fruit. Cinnamon French toast and shrimp and grits . Blackberry smash and cold vanilla brew with almond milk.

Had a very good breakfast here. Service was great and the waitress didn’t hesitate when I asked for gluten free options and recommendations. The gluten free pancake was fantastic and had a nice rise/fluffiness to it. I also had eggs with sausage, hash browns, and a side order of some special bacon. All in all a fantastic meal. A little pricey but the price suited the quality of service and food.

A great place to grab brunch! The server was really helpful and attentive in pointing out the gluten free options and figuring out what was safe for a celiac in my group to eat. The prices are a little high, but not at all exaggerated.

If you’re in Nashville and need a place with fantastic gluten-free options, Two Hands Nashville should be at the top of your list! As someone with gluten sensitivity, finding a spot that offers not just safe but delicious gluten-free dishes can be a challenge—but Two Hands totally delivers. First of all, the menu is full of mouth-watering choices that cater to various dietary needs, and their gluten-free options are top-notch. I tried the gluten-free Korean fried chicken, and wow, it was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, you wouldn't even guess it was gluten-free! The seasoning was on point, and the texture was just as satisfying as any gluten-filled dish. Their gluten-free bowls and rice-based dishes are also great choices for anyone looking for a wholesome meal that’s both filling and full of flavor. The ingredients feel fresh, and everything is thoughtfully prepared with plenty of options for customization. What really sets Two Hands apart is how they ensure cross-contamination isn’t an issue, which is super important for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great care to make sure the dishes are made properly, which gives me a lot of confidence when dining here. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or even a solo visit. Whether you're gluten-free or just looking for a great meal, Two Hands Nashville is definitely worth checking out. Delicious, fresh, and full of flavor—what more could you ask for?

This place was kind of a cluster. The good: My wife got the aztec bowl & that was pretty good. And the baked fries that came with my burger were really good. The bad: They served up a Cesar salad to our friend without any dressing, and had a hard time finding the dressing when asked for some. The Shitake Teriyaki burger was just a smear of mushroom, cabbage, and sauce on a bun and looked nothing like the picture on the menu. The ugly: They tried to convince me that a whole wheat bun was gluten free. It took a few minutes, but they eventually checked the packaging from the buns and re-made the burger on a small GF bagle. They didn't actually have any GF buns despite it being on the menu, and it sounded like their cook didn't know what GF meant. This could result in someone with ceilac getting really sick from their food. I expect better from a restaurant like this.
