Wendell Smith's Restaurant

This place is kind of known as a Nashville meat-n-three legend, sort of like Arnold's or the now closed Mack's and Pie Wagon. Some local musicians use their outside sign for album artwork, such as Marty Stuart and Lee Ann Rimes. And considering I could walk there from work, it is surprising I have only been there maybe half a dozen times, I just usually brown bag my lunch. I did go there with a group of friends for lunch a couple of weeks ago and it was good. Pretty busy too. The inside doesn't look like it has been updated since they opened, and there is plenty of tar staining on the ceiling from the days when smoking was allowed inside. Their daily special the day I went was four meat choices and maybe 12-15 vegetables. They also have a regular menu you can order from, and I believe they serve breakfast all day. Pretty good stuff....

Lots of regulars hanging out. Our waitress was on the ball with her service. Had breakfast. Picky about how my eggs & bacon cooked. Perfectly done! Quite enough food and reasonably priced. Lots of choices on menu. Will go back again.

Meatloaf, excellent. Blackberry cobbler, awesome. Coming back? No doubt. Staff is really friendly as well.
