Wendell Smith's Restaurant

West Nashville meat-and-three that's been feeding the neighborhood for over 70 years, with regulars from construction crews to working musicians. Go for the meatloaf or fried pork chop with fried corn and mac and cheese, then chess pie or banana pudding. Fried chicken is only on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and popular sides can run out by evening.
