Meat-and-Three, Made Right
Founder Lynn Chandler pioneered the three-vegetable plate in 1939. Mashed sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, collard greens — still made from scratch every day.

Book the whole crew. The diner fits groups of all sizes, and there's nothing quite like a milkshake toast for a birthday.
85 Years of Making Friends First
In 1939, a 23-year-old named Lynn Chandler bought a soda fountain on Elliston Place and started something Nashville still can't get enough of. Pull up a stool — here's how it happened.
What our guests are saying
This place gives everything you want from an old fashioned diner. The vibe was very old fashioned but up to date. The food was delicious and decently seasoned. BEST MASHED SWEET POTATOES I HAVE EVER TASTED! We didn’t get a chance to try any ice cream pie but we will defiantly be back. Service was great and food came out in a timely manner.

The banana split was great! I also recommend the mashed sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese as sides on your meat and three plate.

Felt like I walked into a cool 50s diner. This place is amazing. Its clean, the servers are friendly what more could you ask for? Our server was Nick, he was super friendly! He made us feel right at home. The food is amazing. A variety of menu items for even the picky person. Their milkshakes are thick and taste amazing. I can't say enough about this place!
