Arnold's Country Kitchen is a classic Nashville 'meat and three' cafeteria-style restaurant where you pick a protein and three sides from daily-changing offerings. The ribs, fried chicken, and Southern sides are consistently excellent, portions are huge, and the staff is genuinely friendly. Arrive right at opening or expect a wait—the place fills up within minutes of unlocking the doors.
