Southern hospitality at its finest! Love this place especially their chicken pesto salad. Staff are always friendly and overall atmosphere is nice and relaxed.

We came in today for the Sunday brunch and left very satisfied. The spread was delicious and amazingly inexpensive. All homemade goodness! Good southern cooking. Our favorite dish was the banana bread pudding. Omelettes made to order, as well as waffles. Several meats to choose from. This was our first time here and we definitely be back next Sunday!

I have eaten here before and it is never disappointing. The portions are plenty and the food is delicious. The ladies who work here are friendly and efficient. This is a great meat and three. Outstanding, thank you for your great efforts.

The last few times we’ve been here the food wasn’t great. The chicken was very dry and stringy. We may give it one more try just because the options in the area are limited.

We were going to brunch tomorrow. I was going to make a reservation and found out brunch is no more. Oh well. The one we had was great.

What Daily DID well (and I say DID because they DON’T anymore), was to provide a consistently good cafeteria style buffet with good sized to-​go portions. It was the good food equivalent of the Little Caesars «Hot-​n-​Ready». If my wife needed me to pick something up on the way home, it was quick, easy and reasonably priced. If we needed to eat quick between work and a meeting or sports event, no problem.
The new full service menu and meat-​n-​three available isn’t really conducive to the convenient neighborhood takeout that we loved.
Dear Daily Dish, please come back. What you were is what we needed. What you are, well, not so much.

You’ll basically have to go week-​to-​week for when they’re open. Sometimes, the Sunday buffet is served but not all. Sometimes, they’ll be opened until 7:00 on weekdays. They’re still dark on Saturdays.
It seems they are concentrating on their catering and private party events.
The mini-​buffet is still stocked with the same yummy Southern-​based veggies and meats you’re accustomed to.

BAD TO HORRID! One of the best things about Daily Dish used to be their staff. They were always polite and cheerful. I went today and could not believe how completely unfriendly and downright hostile the two women working the counter were. In addition, I ordered a $ 9 chicken pesto salad that when served came with no dressing and no fried cheese as stated on the menu («Sorry — we’re out of balsamic would you like the cherry? Um no, cherry and pesto would make me vomit»). If you are out of key components of an entrée LET THE CUSTOMER KNOW WHEN ORDERING so they can choose something else if they wish.
UGH! I am not thrilled with their new format (same meat and three food served at lunch is on dinner menu but at huge price increase).
Sadly, I am done. We used to come here often but with shrinking portions, surly staff, and higher prices it is just not worth it.

Local. Came for Sunday buffet. Small with outdoor seating. The eggs Benedict, scalloped potatoes, ham, salads waffle… All yummy. Not great for large groups and lots of kids. Live music. Good find…

New format! Full service! It was supposed to be the same menu? The only thing that was familiar were the types of food. Ordered just a plain cheeseburger, got some kind of mushroom burger. Patty was prefab and lacked seasoning. My bride ordered the chicken fried steak. While the three large pieces of steak appeared made to order, the gravy was definitely not. It tasted like a McCormicks type of white gravy, yuck.
I get why the concept had to change. Food and labor costs must have been sucking them dry, but they are gonna have to deliver better quality for table service.
I wish them well! It is gonna be a while before we take another chance.

It is a great meat and three kind of place after work but their sunday brunch is really good. Kind of pricey with $ 20 per person but you get a wide variety of food such as smoked salmon, eggs Benedict and so on. Better bet hungry!

Another Nashville-​area secret – just south of the city in Grassland. Oh my! Have had lunch here several times. Always great food served with courtesy. Stopped this morning for the Sunday Brunch. Oh my! Sweet, savory, succulent, satisfying and a bargain to boot! Too many dishes to mention, so let me highlight just a few: Eggs Benedict served on split Croissant instead of English Muffin — so flavorful, rich & creamy, eggs done perfectly. Jalapeño Grits — not hot — just piquant enough and so very, very sweet and buttery… mmm. Broccoli salad (and other salads) plus grilled veggies — just right. Steamed shrimp cooked just right. Coconut-​crusted Goat cheese medallions — decadently melt in your mouth. Roast beef with wild-​mushroom gravy… the beef was tender and bright, pink rare – beautiful. (The mushroom gravy just so-​so.) Baked ham. Desserts that I didn’t have room to try. And, did I mention… made-​to-​order omelets and waffles. The list goes on. Oh my. Oh my!

The food here is always good. The salads, fried chicken, sweet tea, and rolls are some of my favorites. My only complaint is that the food (which typically sits out under warming lights) is not always hot enough. But for the price, you’re always going to eat well.

i was a bit disappointed in my experience here. i’ve had several coworkers rave about this place to me, so i was pretty excited to try it. i had the chicken and dumplings, fried okra, and macaroni and cheese. the chicken and dumplings were lukewarm at best, and somewhat bland, the fried okra was decent, but not any better than your from the freezer section bagged variety, and the macaroni and cheese was the biggest disappointment: sigh: it was one of the most disappointing mac and cheese servings i’ve had (overall, lukewarm, mushy/​soggy, and just blah).
maybe i went on an off day, or maybe some of my coworkers have not had awesome meat and 3 type places, but, i wouldn’t go back, nor would i really recommend it to someone.

It’s all good when it starts with a biscuit! Yes, a large homemade cheddar drop biscuit brought to the table almost as soon as we sat down. Crispy at the edges, soft in the middle and so flavorful I did not even put any butter on it.
The brunch buffet is now an a la carte menu (except for special occasions, like Mother’s Day, I think), which suited me just fine. Although I was curious about the savory offerings, I always have to try to the french toast when I go somewhere new. I was not disappointed. Thick slices of bread, perfectly cooked. The side order of bacon was generous and just crispy enough for me.
My dining companion had one of the benedicts — with smoked salmon. I had a bite and was impressed and I don’t even like smoked salmon. Next time, I’ll probably try the steak benedict. The regular one with shaved ham looked really good, too. Yes, I was ogling everyone’s meals and they all looked wonderful.
Service was very friendly and attentive. There was a large group next to us and they seemed to handle that well, too. It is a comfortable, casual place. The perfect spot to start the day!

It begins with a biscuit
A drop biscuit, or so I was told by my lovely brunch companion who is well versed in all things biscuit. It had a nice crusty texture and a fluffy center. Not at all a bad way to start a brunch.
For the feature act I had the smoked salmon benedict. The salmon was subtly smoked so it’s great flavor blended well with the more subtle egg and croissant. This was complemented by a side of hash brown casserole a good cup of coffee and I was a happy man!
They have remodeled since my last visit, back in the brunch buffet every Sunday days. I like the new look and the a la carte brunch better. I’m told they still do the full brunch buffet for Mothers Day and other occasions.
Visit this friendly neighborhood café, they will leave you impressed by the quality of the food as well as the politeness of the service.

This sweet little place often wins «Best Of…» awards. I’d never been able to stop in until yesterday and I’m so glad I did! You’ve got your meat & 3 options… but everything looks so much better than the typical fare you see around town. Sometimes M&3 places are just such a mess, not very appetizing. I opted for a cup of chicken/​sausage gumbo and… wait for it… the almond crusted goat cheese salad. Holy stink was that good! Fresh mango, almonds, strawberries, mixed greens, an amazing dried cherry balsamic dressing and of course, almond crusted goat cheese. I was sorry that I was alone for lunch because I wanted to be able to say, «Isn’t this good?» «OMG, isn’t this great?» to someone! I read their menu and there are several reasons to go back. I bet they earn that 5th star soon!

A cozy little meat and three located off Hillsboro Pike (US 431) in Franklin, Tennessee. The shop is located next to a BP gas station and just diagnonally across from a strip mall that for the life I me I cannot tell you what is in there — it’s been a long, long time since I paid any attention.
Anyhow, the Meat and 3 aspect of the place is similar to what you would expect at most. It’s serve (like lunchroom style) and seat yourself in style. So, you grab your tray and silver, walk up to the counter, and order either your meat and two or meat and three. You walk a couple more feet and pay at the register. It’s a pretty simplistic concept and works for most Meat and Threes including this one.
The day I was there the vegetable choices were: green beans (in some sopping wet liquid that looked like water), green bean casserole, mac’n’cheese, sweet potatoes (but let it be noted I had to ask what they were…), fried okra, and some other kind of casserole. The meat choices were coconut fried chicken breasts (thin sliced breasts or pounded, not sure which), meat loaf, and something else (I didn’t ask).
My choices: Mac’n’cheese, coconut chicken, fried okra. You also are able to select a biscuit (or as many biscuits as you would like according to the lady behind the cash register — I abstained from any) and then a drink (water for me).
Mac and cheese was just OK. Chicken was just OK. Fried okra was just OK. Look nothing was bad. But nothing «popped» for me either.
I might go back for lunch one day, but it’s probably a once in a year type of visit.

Maybe I hit it on a bad day but this place needs work. To begin with, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and they had no hot water and I let it run for at least a minute or two. Went thru the buffet line and the server and cashier were very nice. Portions were large. I got the salisbury steak. I ate in and none of it was hot. The steak had a burnt taste to it. The potatoes and green beans were ok. The table I sat at was dirty, I looked around at the other tables (there was only one other table sat) and they were dirty too, it was obvious they dont wipe them down when they are slow.
Since they have 4 ½ stars I will give them another try another day but for the price my experience could have been a lot better.
