The Pie Wagon

"Nashville’s second oldest restaurant, the Pie Wagon recently reopened under new ownership, and they’re once again cranking out a rotating menu of meat-and-three plates, cafeteria-style." - Delia Jo Ramsey

"Nashville’s second oldest restaurant, meat-and-three Pie Wagon, will reopen with new owners and apparently will serve alcohol, according to a July 25 agenda document from the Metro Beer Board. The 96-year-old Pie Wagon just closed back in April, due to Metro Water Department’s mandated plumbing upgrades that former owner David Biggs deemed “too expensive to do and stay profitable.”" - Delia Jo Ramsey

"After 96 years in business, The Pie Wagon, a meat-and-three known as a go-to back in its heyday for Nashville’s music industry community, will close its doors after lunch service tomorrow. According to The Tennessean the closure, first announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page earlier this week, is due to Metro Water Department mandated plumbing upgrades that owner David Biggs has deemed “too expensive to do and stay profitable.” The Pie Wagon, the second oldest restaurant in Nashville (behind 110-year-old chili parlor Varallo’s) has had several incarnations throughout the years. Originally housed in a trolley car in The Gulch, the restaurant moved to a building on 12th Ave. North in the 1960s, eventually landing at its current location at 1302 Division St. So for those looking to make one last visit, the restaurant will be open until 2 p.m. tomorrow." - Matt Rogers
