This Unassuming Nashville Restaurant Serves Up Southern Cooking Like Grandma Used To Make

There's nothing like a quiet morning at the diner, eating pancakes. Some find it to be the simplest form of heaven. Here in the city, a good Nashville diner will take us back in time in a split second. Whether we're reminded of our grandma cooking biscuits on butter yellow Saturday mornings or our brothers and sisters snitching the last piece of bacon, there's always something sweet to remember at a sticky restaurant counter.

You can find Wendell Smith's Restaurant on the west side of Nashville, tucked away off of Charlotte Avenue. It's a family owned restaurant that hearkens back to Nashville's mid-century.

The restaurant and colloquially known "diner" is a Nashville classic. It's been family owned since the early 50's and makes sure to stay strong and dedicated to its down-home roots.

Folks that make their way to enjoy the fine food of Wendell's come from near and far. There are some that visit twice a day, others that wander in of the hipster type. No matter your name or age or career choice, this is a fine Nashville establishment that serves up fine breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

All three?! Most definitely. There's no southern cook that can't build a menu that works around the clock, and we'd recommend ordering the classic meat 'n three. Shh...it may just be the best in town.

If you're from Nashville, chance's are you've been to Wendell Smith's. And if you're not? Then you should probably go, ASAP!

You can visit at 5300 Charlotte Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee, from 6a.m. to 7:30p.m, Monday through Sunday.

If you're on the hunt for a good meal, these divey diners scattered across Nashville are pretty delicious.
