LOCATED IN THE HEART OF WEST NASHVILLE AT 407 53RD AVENUE NORTH.
A True Nashville Meat-and-Three Since 1952
Wendell Smith’s Restaurant is a family-owned Nashville diner that has been serving traditional Southern comfort food since 1952. Located in West Nashville, we’re best known for our classic meat-and-three plates, made-from-scratch vegetables, fried chicken, roast beef, and old-fashioned breakfast — all served without pretension and with a whole lot of heart.
While Nashville has grown and changed, our food hasn’t. We still cook the way we always have: simple, honest, and built around recipes that feel like home.
A meat-and-three is a traditional Southern meal where you choose one main dish — like fried chicken, roast beef, or meatloaf — and three vegetable sides. It’s a staple of Nashville food culture and a style of cooking rooted in simplicity, value, and comfort.
At Wendell Smith’s, our meat-and-three menu rotates daily and reflects decades of Southern cooking tradition.
Get on in here early to grab those hot biscuits and gravy before we run out for the day! We’ve got all your breakfast favorites for a hearty start to your day.
