Nana’s Diner Meat & Three

The food is good, the service is great. They are always very friendly and attentive and they have great prices. The only thing I don’t care for at Nana’s is the free corn bread they give you (I just think it’s gross), which doesn’t really matter since it’s complementary. I love the small town feeling you get when you dine there.

Ever getting busier Nolensville road led us to try the sweet little meat & 3 this Saturday. My family had never been to a real home style place like this, except if you count a Cracker Barrel. This had all the barrel fixins minus the crazy retail. We had catfish, burgers and chicken livers. Cornbread came to the table before the food and then your dishes. I had white beans, turnip greens and cucumber/​watermelon salad. If you ask they will give you vinegar for your greens. To finish banana pudding and coconut meringue pie! So yummy and the portions were perfect. Minus one star for running out of chicken and dumplings. Hah! Stop in and watch all the folks cruising by or walking around antiquing. Tah tah for now.

Excellent diner. great service.great food. quality and value! If you want homemade like mom did, this is your pla
ce!

I have wined and dined with the best of them and Nana’s fits nicely in that group. Not only are the servers courteous and helpful if you need anything like a fork you dropped on the floor, or more napkins — the entire ambiance of this great restaurant is like eating with your family, even if you’re eating by yourself. The owner, Nana herself, is the platinum blonde, with the welcoming smile, usually at the front counter. The picture of the catfish on this site doesn’t compare to the catfish you order, which is so big it hangs off both sides of the plate it’s served on. The side dishes taste just like home made because — they are! What a concept. If you’re looking for a great soup or popular meal choices, you «must» stop in to Nana’s Diner. You’ll feel glad you did, then you can write your story too.

We drove past this place when we got into town. It’s a cute little diner off the road. I had been hearing about a meat and three, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I got the ham and mashed potatoes w/​gravy and sweetened corn. It was good. The ham was a little too salty for my taste, but the corn and potatoes were tasty. The prices were fair but the portions were a little small. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable. Overall it was a good experience.

Fantastic place, especially on Friday night which is pork chop night! Also, be sure and get the chocolate chess pie. They sell out so reserve one when you. get there!

Update: I haven’t been to Nana’s in a while. After my previous visits, I thought I would be good to go. (This is not a knock on their friendly service, as it is always excellent). The food was just bland, boring. The Mac n cheese had no cheese flavor, the corn was straight out of one of those frozen creamed corn rolls you can get at the grocery store and the sausage and kraut were pitiful. The corn bread was as another Unilocaler said «hockey pucks». I really thought Nana’s would have improved, but this was not great food at all. Nothing like other meat & 3s in the Nashville area. If you like boring, come here. Sorry, but I won’t be back. Go to Arnold’s or Bishop’s. Not worth the drive. Nolensville doesn’t have a rival for them and that’s a shame. Lots of $$ to be made for some good food down that way. :(

Price for 3 small portions of vegetables and a drink was over $ 8! Seriously?! I won’t be going back for Nana’s overpriced vegetable plate.

Perfect. A darling little diner sitting among the cutest antique shops. The food here is classic southern meat the three, it does not disappoint. The roasted chicken, catfish, ham, all sides and veggies and banana pudding are alllll deliciousssssssss, I can’t wait to come back and have some more. Very cute atmosphere and very friendly staff.

This place never disappoints. The food is always on point, and the Chess Pie is outstanding.
Don’t skip this hidden Gem

Fabulous place nestled in quaint Nolensville. Their chicken salad is amazing. It has cranberries and pecans which make it extra special. The Mac and cheese is incredibly creamy and delicious. Terrific service! I will go back the next time I am in the area.

Great little restaurant. Nice change from typical chain restaurants. Most everything is good and you are served quickly.

Strengths:
Great food with even better service. Family run and it shows. Simple but good menu.
Opportunities:
Parking.
Summary:
Great local family owned place. Great spot to eat with the family. You won’t be disappointed.

I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed Nana’s! I have been going there since it opened. I usually never give five stars but the experience I’ve had warrants it. I can only speak to the chicken and dressing and chicken and dumplings. So, good. But what makes Nana’s great is the family atmosphere. When my Husband and I had our first child this year my Mother-​in-​law got us a gift certificate. I would pick up the food and carry our son inside. It only took them seeing me and staff brought my food to the car. They are a good family with a great product.

We decided it was time to try one of the meat & three restaurants that the Nashville area is so famous for. But when we saw the specials at Nana’s, we decided that the meat & three could wait.
My wife had the tuna melt and really loved it. But I saw that they had a tuna-​stuffed tomato, and just had to try it. There is something about a big, ripe, homegrown tomato that just can’t be beat. The tuna salad was also very good. I really like the little bits of hard-​boiled egg in my tuna salad.

This is a great local place to grab some homestyle food. My son particularly likes the country fried chicken night almost every week.
We get a lot of takeout from Nana’s and it is always ready, always right, and still tastes fresh when we get it home.
The best thing is the convenience, but I think I might drive a few miles to enjoy it as well.

Loved this place. Went there for the first time after driving by for months and was NOT disappointed. Service was amazing as Brittany did a fantastic job and the food was delicious.
Had the double bacon cheeseburger and fries. My girlfriend had to actually order another side of the broccoli salad as it was delicious.
Just like Arnold from Terminator… We will be back… Soon.

Nana’s is a great small town meat and three. Everyone in our party was very happy with what they ordered. The meatloaf is outstanding. Save room for dessert, because the pies are wonderful.
This restaurant is very family friendly. Kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal on Tuesday nights.

We enjoy visiting Nana’s as it really does feel like visiting Grandma’s. Nana is always present, super sweet to the kids, and the prices are reasonable.
Tips
Tuesday’s night is kids night and a good choice
Also any night she makes chicken dumplings = also a good choice
Stay away from the hamburger steak as it lacks flavor
Order dessert!

Nana’s Diner is an excellent addition to the tiny town of Nolensville. It’s a great place to stop in and have dinner after a long day. The staff is friendly and super attentive. Ever worry about how clean a restaurant is? Does it make you a little nervous? Me too — BUT — this place is unbelievably clean! Getting a 100 on a health inspection is a huge plus in my book. Another plus is the price. It’s easy to get a table, you quickly get your food, and the bill doesn’t make you suck in all of the available air.
Favorite things to eat … grilled cheese on TX toast with vegetable beef soup. Another favorite is the tuna melt and fries. (and I’m not even a tuna melt kind of gal) The toast is never soggy and has the right amount of crispiness. The only reason I didn’t give Nana’s 5 stars is the vegetables. The baked beans are super good, but the others do need a little work. Not a show stopper for me. The staff offers to let you try just about anything on the menu — and I can’t think of many other places that will do that. The owners sincerely want you to enjoy your meal.
