A friend of mine who works in Nashville told me I had to try Arnold’s the next time I was in town. I was warned that I needed to get there early for lunch because they are known for long-lines out the door.
Arnold’s is the classic southern Meat & 3 place (but I ended up getting the smaller version, Meat & 2). I was lucky to be there on a Friday because one of their menu items was chicken and dumplings. I knew I had to try this since I have loved chicken and dumplings ever since my dad had me try them on a trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee when I was younger.
It came in a nice size bowl and not a single drop was left because I used the home made corn bread to wipe the bowl. They had so many sides to try it was hard for me to narrow it down, so I asked the server for their recommendations. He did a great job in suggesting the homemade mac & cheese and the green beans that were cooked with nice pieces of salty bacon.
I was lucky enough to meet the owner when I was there. He was very nice and took a picture with me and of course gave me a hard time because I am a Gator. We also got photobombed in by the server who suggested my side dishes. It really seems like everyone has a fun time working there.
Check them out at www.arnoldscountrykitchen.com for their list of daily menu items. Even if there is a line, it’s worth the wait.
Enjoy!
