At Wendell Smith’s, we’re more than a restaurant — we’re a Nashville tradition. Since 1952, we’ve been serving honest Southern food with no frills, plenty of heart, and a whole lot of pride. Behind every plate of fried chicken, every scoop of mashed potatoes, and every cup of hot coffee is a hardworking team that treats our guests like family.

We’re always looking for dependable, friendly people who take pride in a job well done and enjoy working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. If you like staying busy, working with good folks, and being part of a place that means something to the community, you might be a great fit here.

Whether you’re in the kitchen, at the counter, or on the floor, we value reliability, respect, and a good attitude just as much as experience. We train the right people and believe that showing up on time, pulling your weight, and treating others kindly still matters.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
