Arnold's Country Kitchen

"The city's best meat-and-three."

"Winner of the James Beard award, this self-described country kitchen serves up southern staples such as catfish, country-fried steak, turnip greens, cornbread and sweet tea."

"Before old-school Southern was cool, Arnold's had old-school Southern fare well in hand." Full review

"Classic canteen, south of downtown, where locals wait in line for tasty meat-and-threes (meat, three veggies and buttery cornbread)."

"There's no better place to sample a wide array of Southern fried goodness (think collard greens, fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, fried okra, pecan pie." Full review

"One choice of meat (fried chicken is the runaway favorite, although liver and onions has a loyal following) and three sides—mac and cheese, turnip greens, and fried apples are all solid options." Full review

"With more seating room, this old-school cafeteria-style meat and three is the perfect pick for anyone who's serious about some Southern food that will stick to your ribs. " Full review

"Similarly, the much-applauded Arnold’s Country Kitchen on 8th Avenue South now has a night and weekend schedule to accommodate the usual crush of meat-and-three fans"

"The ultimate purveyor of the Southern “meat-and-three” approach to dining – that is, one “hero” meat accompanied by three vegetable sides – Arnold’s Country Kitchen is a hugely welcoming family concern run by the garrulous Khalil Arnold and his mother, Rose"

"Plan to arrive early to grab a parking spot in the cracked and busted lot next to Arnold's, a soul-food landmark for more than 2 decades." Full review
