Great experience loved the concept of sharing a table with other people and getting to know them…read moreover breakfast

Monell's Restaurant - Nashville, Tennessee…read more Overall Rating: 5/5 Every once in a while, you stumble upon a restaurant that reminds you why Southern hospitality and good home cooking are so special. Monell's in Nashville is one of those places! I stopped in for lunch based on the recommendation of a Nashville native, and I can confidently say that Monell's did not disappoint. From the moment I walked in, I knew this was going to be more than just another meal. A True Southern Family-Style Experience What makes Monell's particularly unique is its traditional family-style dining experience. Guests are seated at large communal tables, often alongside people they have never met. You may arrive as complete strangers, but by the time the meal is over, you could very well leave having made a few new friends. I found this concept both interesting and genuinely refreshing. The food is served family-style as well, with a set menu brought to the table on generous platters and in large serving bowls. Everyone shares, passes dishes around, and enjoys the meal together, just like a traditional Sunday family dinner. The Food - An Unquestionable 5/5 Across the Board! Let's start with the table fixin's: cucumber salad, coleslaw, and plenty of homemade biscuits and cornbread, accompanied by butter and delicious peach jam. Every single item was outstanding and set the tone for what was to come. Today's lunch menu featured an impressive lineup of Southern favorites: * Southern fried chicken * Roasted chicken * Fried pork chops * Green beans * German-style potato salad * Cornbread dressing * Macaroni and cheese * Fried apples And yes, I sampled just about everything! The flavors, preparation, and overall quality were exceptional. The fried chicken was everything you hope for in a Southern restaurant, and the selection of sides brought together the kind of comforting, familiar flavors that make a home-cooked meal so memorable. There wasn't a single item I tried that I would rate anything less than a 5 out of 5. That is something I rarely say about a restaurant, especially one serving such a wide variety of dishes. Even the beverages deserve recognition. Pitchers of lemonade, ice-chilled water, and some of the best sweet tea I've ever had were waiting on the table. And being a Southerner, I don't hand out compliments on sweet tea lightly! Outside of my mom's and my wife's, this was some of the best I've enjoyed. Service & Atmosphere - 5/5 The staff were absolutely amazing. Friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, they made the entire experience feel less like dining at a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's home. The atmosphere was equally impressive. Between the communal tables, platters of homemade food, lively conversations, and warm hospitality, I almost felt like I was back home enjoying Sunday lunch after church. For my fellow Southerners, IYKYK! There's something special about sitting around a table, passing the biscuits, sharing a meal, and enjoying good conversation. Monell's has managed to preserve that tradition beautifully. A Hidden Nashville Gem Tucked away just outside the heart of downtown Nashville, near the Tennessee State Capitol, Monell's is an absolute jewel. It offers something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find: an authentic Southern dining experience where the food, hospitality, and atmosphere are equally memorable. One recommendation: Be sure to check the daily menu! Monell's offers special selections in addition to its regular family-style offerings. Today's special included fried pork chops, and they were certainly a welcome addition to an already outstanding meal. Final Thoughts - 5/5 Monell's isn't just a place to grab lunch. It's an experience built around good food, Southern traditions, and bringing people together around the dinner table. Outstanding food, exceptional hospitality, a memorable atmosphere, and not a single disappointing dish. If you're visiting Nashville and want a genuine taste of Southern home cooking, put Monell's on your list. Come hungry, be prepared to share a table with a few strangers, and don't be surprised if you leave feeling like you've just had Sunday dinner with family. Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 -- An absolute Nashville treasure and a restaurant I would recommend without hesitation!

When you walk in, Arnold's has a menu of over 75 items that was a bit intimidating. After a…read moreminute, I focused on the day's menu and that brought the options down by quite a bit. They're known for their roast beef but there are so many things that most people want to try so they offer half portions of most of their proteins. The setup is cafeteria style, where you grab a tray and ask each server which item you want. I was completely lost, but the servers were really nice and helped us through the process. The food: 1/2 order of roast beef - this is what they're known for, so if you eat beef, order this one. Tender, very meaty, with tons of jus. Blackened salmon - I'm always skeptical of seafood in a cafeteria setting, but I had a bite of my friend's dish and this was perfectly cooked. Fried Chicken - crispy skin, tender meat, well seasoned. Turnip Greens - flavorful, not mushy Cornbread - solid Desserts - Chess Pie and Pecan Pie - sweet, but as expected. Pretty good Cauliflower hash - very cheesy, could pass for potato hashbrowns but a little drier. It was ok. Creamed corn - way too sweet for my preference Arnold's is a fun time. They paid homage to Masters of the Universe while we were there. The live action movie playing on one TV and the animated series playing on another. There's even a free arcade game emulator out in the front lobby. Arnold's approach to food is no frills. They crank out comfort food that is reminiscent of a home kitchen, in a good way - nothing crazy, just the classics.

Authentic southern cuisine so delicious and you don't need to add salt or pepper at all…read more The owners and employees are so welcoming and friendly. The owners actually work on the serving line . The ambiance is lively and welcoming ! This place is a must try when you visit Nashville.
