Nashville Meat-and-Three Institution Dandgure’s Closing After 30 Years - Eater Nashville

"Dandgure’s, the longtime Pie Town meat-and-three that has grown to legendary status over the decades, will close permanently on June 30, the restaurant announced on Facebook earlier this month. Dandgure’s owner Dandgure “Dan” Robinson is retiring, happily, taking some of the sting out of the news." - Clair Lorell

Tony went to this cafeteria style restaurant with Jesse Boyce (songwriter/producer),and ordered a combo popular in Nashville called the "meat & three" which includes a meat dish and 3 sides. Tony chose fried chicken with okra, corn, and mashed potatoes.

It was pretty good. The green beans were probably my favorite of what I got. You could taste the pork in them, and they were greasy bit good. The corn and mashed potatoes could have used more flavor. The fried pork chop had a good crunch.

Truly authentic, incredibly delicious real food served by kind, hard-working people. These kinds of places are disappearing fast. Nashville has been lucky to have this place for so long.

Your true wholesome experience of true southern home cooking set in a cafeteria. A must for anyone visiting Nashville.

A favorite lunch spot spot for locals. One of the best meat&3s of the city that invented meat&3s. A must for anyone visiting the Music City. Today had greens, pinto beans, fried okra and corn bread. Delicious, as always!

We visited this place after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown. It was everything he promised and more. The portions are huge. The service is fast. The food is delicious. I will return!

This is what down home cooking is all about. One of the few places left in Nashvile that is authentic and what Nashville is (was) all about.

Having been in Nashville a week, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to eat here. I apparently saved the best for last. I had the fried catfish, turnip greens, Mac n cheese, country corn, & cornbread. And for dessert, blackberry cobbler & banana pudding. Couldn't help myself. I couldn't decide, so I got both. It was like eating at my Grandma's house again! Good ol' southern comfort food made with southern love! The servings were plentiful. (I ate on it for 2 days!) If I'd known the food was this good, I would have been Monday through Friday for lunch.

I’ve been eating meat and threes my whole life. When I say I have never had a better tasting piece of catfish in my life. I have never felt so strongly about the sweetest, richest slice of chocolate pie. The best texture Mac and cheese. I am forever happy about this choice!
