Kid Rock opens The Detroit Cowboy in Nashville, redefines breakfast timing, and earns a shout-out from Trump at the grand opening.
Guess who’s redefining breakfast in Nashville? None other than Kid Rock, the rebellious rocker whose real name is Robert Ritchie, just opened a swanky new spot called The Detroit Cowboy. And here’s a kicker—he’s eating his morning meal in the afternoon, proudly declaring to the world that 1 p.m. or even 5 p.m. is breakfast time if he says so. Talk about marching to the beat of your own drum—or maybe your own omelet.
Located in the heart of Nashville, The Detroit Cowboy is more than just a restaurant; it’s a fine-dining experience with a side of rock 'n' roll swagger. Partnering with Detroit restaurateur Joe Muer, Kid Rock has created a steak and seafood haven adorned with memorabilia from his storied music career. One standout feature? A mirror etched with the motto, 'Go Where You're Celebrated Not Tolerated.' It’s a bold statement from a man who’s no stranger to standing his ground.
Kid Rock shared that this venture is a response to past battles with cancel culture in Detroit, where he once ran a spot but chose not to renew the lease due to unwanted drama. Now, he’s offering a place for folks to enjoy great food and a laid-back vibe. The grand opening was a star-studded affair, with guests like actor Dennis Quaid and singer Lee Greenwood, who even performed for the crowd.
Adding to the buzz, a certain high-profile figure gave the restaurant a shout-out on social media. President Donald Trump called it a 'friendly MAGA establishment' and expressed his eagerness to visit soon. With Kid Rock’s ties to Trump, including a recent White House visit for an executive order on ticket scalping, it’s clear this restaurant is more than just a dining spot—it’s a cultural statement.
So, whether you’re craving a steak or just curious about breakfast at dinnertime, The Detroit Cowboy might just be the place to feel celebrated. Nashville’s newest hotspot is already cooking up a storm.

Kid Rock eating breakfast at 5 p.m.? That’s not a meal, it’s a rock concert encore! And with Trump calling it a MAGA hotspot, I bet the menu includes 'Freedom Fries' on the side. Wonder if the steak comes with a side of rebellion or just extra butter?
