Arnold's Country Kitchen Meat & 3 Price

The Meat & 3 at Arnold's Country Kitchen is the quintessential Southern and soul food entree. This classic cafeteria-style service, a format this local gem practically invented, allows guests to choose one main meat and three side dishes from a daily rotating menu. The price for a Meat & 3 platter ranges from $12 to $18, depending on the chosen meat.

The menu at Arnold's is a showcase of Southern classics, all made fresh daily from scratch. Meat options often include juicy fried chicken, tender roast beef, country-fried steak, savory meatloaf, and roast pork. The selection of sides is equally impressive, with choices like collard greens, fried okra, mashed potatoes, pinto beans, green beans, and their signature cauliflower casserole, all served with a piece of classic cornbread.

Arnold's Country Kitchen is a 'mom and pop' family business, now run by the second generation of Nashville native chefs, including Kahlil Arnold. The Meat & 3 at Arnold's has often been compared to the offerings at other legendary Nashville meat-and-three establishments. It competes directly with the classic plates at Puckett's Grocery & Restaurant and the daily specials at The Loveless Cafe, both of which are also celebrated for their authentic, homestyle Southern cooking. Arnold's is often distinguished by its no-frills, cafeteria-line charm and its long-standing reputation as a Nashville institution.
