Trying Nashville's FAMOUS MEAT And THREE! Arnold's Country Kitchen

[@xc7525]

you and Tina make a great duo. Both relaxed and thoughtful with your reviews! thank you UA and Tina for sharing your vacation with us! yum!

[@robmarais]

Arnold’s was a great choice for a classic Nashville meat&three! The idea was invented in Nashville way back to feed downtown businessmen who had moved to new suburbs and couldn’t go home for lunch. It’s a vanishing food genre, so glad you got the real deal now!

[@jnwoodard8764]

Meat and 3’s need to make a major comeback. It’s great food, quick to plate, and heals the soul.

[@chrislillback8462]

I love that you've been eating things while the're hot!

[@kathymaske8997]

Right!....I was just about to stop watching for a bit.

[@chrislillback8462]

@@kathymaske8997 hope you are good.

[@carsoncarr-busyframes619]

arnolds is my fav meat and 3 and one my favorite memories of my dad. he'd take me to work with him at his recording studio and we'd eat there almost every time. they pretty much doubled the size of their building a few years before the pandemic which is good cause it really helped with the long lines but all the the walls in the dining room used to be covered with autographed pics of celebs who ate there over the years so it has a little less charm but the food tastes the same which is what matters. I'm glad you got to try it and next time, grab a couple butter pats they have by the cash register for those mashed potatoes and ESPECIALLY the cornbread.

[@crabapples1995]

That gravy to mash application was gorgeous 😂

[@billclay9489]

It looks like aujus sauce. Real southern gravy is thick.

[@chefahi1299]

Dude, you and Tina are food soul mates. It’s so cool to see that. Food is love. Michelin stars or cafes or buffets, doesn’t matter. ❤

[@-SarahElizabeth-]

Arnold’s was awarded the James Beard American Classics Award in 2009.

[@logan_hall_grill_streams]

I live in Nashville and Arnold's has always been great. They temporarily closed not too long ago but it looks like they reopened just in time for you to get to experience this Southern American classic! Subbed!

[@aaaaaaa1ism]

That fried chicken you ate with mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese look delicious and it’s nice to see Tina getting involved in the video. Keep the videos coming.

[@kimberlyg7182]

I went to school in the late 80s early 90s and i really loved the food they served. There spaghetti with meat sauce was amazing i tried to never miss that day. I could go for a big plate of it rigt now lol

[@doug186]

Thank you for always keeping it real, UA.

[@davidnuckols8151]

So for $21 you got chicken and three sides and pie. Sounds like a real good deal to me.

[@odn861]

It's also "downtown". Nothing is exactly cheap there.

[@DeeDeeH20]

love your videos! Especially with Tina. You both are lovely. More videos please!🎉

[@uaeats]

Thank you! She will join whenever she can!

[@mindysuarez1699]

Southern food yummiest! I love chunks in my potatoes. Dip the chicken in the mash and gravy

[@uaeats]

Yeah! That's an amazing combo!

[@acharis]

Another great one, UA. The food did look delicious. I say you and Tina should definitely go back, but from watching another reviewer, say country music star bars/restaurants are just hype, so don'trecommend you go to them. Your reviews are sincere and honest, which is why I enjoy them so much. I wish you and Tina a great rest of your night and a fabulous weekend.

[@uaeats]

Thank you! And appreciate the tips!

[@kennethwu115]

Hi UA. Looks like you a very enjoyable visit. 😊

[@KingBat]

Despite them forgetting your roast beef, the service there was super friendly.

[@jdweberg]

The folks at Arnold's are amazing! It's almost like they have no idea that it's a famous food spot and they're just happy you are there!!

[@justrobin8155]

This is as classic southern as it gets!

[@smtpgirl]

I'm from Maryland and live in Maryland BUT I make baked mac & cheese not greasy and use 3 or 4 cheeses. I don't consider Maryland southern. I learned how to make mac & cheese from my grandmom. She cooked some mighty fine food.

[@jmason61]

Haha I grew up in Jersey & those old expressions... raining cat's & dogs.. gotta hunker down!

[@jholly5747]

another great review. This really makes me want to visit Nashville and tryout Arnold’s meet and three!A a

[@lisabudd5979]

Glad you could chose dark or white meat. The gravy needs a to be thicker yes . Looks more healthy than alot of other big chain restaurants have..good

[@jeffs.4313]

Great review, UA! I like how you broke it down. Keep up the great work!

[@uaeats]

Thanks!

[@nowzthetime]

What you want to do is take those collard greens and put it on a pulled pork sandwich

[@surfboard396]

Great review as always UA. Glad you enjoyed this experience. Have a nice weekend bud. 👋🏽

[@uaeats]

Thank you! Have a great weekend!

[@robertdonaldson2569]

How much for the meal?

[@inmyhouse11]

Tina gets her revenge and gobbles up the mac n cheese😂😂

[@HardHatEugene]

Meat and 3’s here are not always about the best food or best taste. It’s a reminder of growing up with home cooked country meals. Grandma or grandpas cooking. A lot of sentimental value in meat and 3’s in the Deep South, especially more rural areas.

[@jennifer6833]

You’ve gotta go to Meredith New Hampshire and try Hart’s Turkey 🦃 Farm. They serve Turkey dinners year round and the food is delicious.

[@Numbermelon]

Never rains or snows in restaurant 😂 hello from London

[@luvtravel2927]

Food looks soooo good

[@JoannaLemieux]

A great place to check out in Georgia for 3 meats etc, try Fordhams Farmhouse in Statesboro GA , fried chicken amazing! Corn casserole, string bean casserole, sweet potato casserole!!! All so good!!! And that's 90 minutes from Savannah, a lot to check out there, Pirate House for starters, it's historic. You could do some nice videos there.

[@normandea]

A shame about the roast beef that they forgot. Good review overall. Love southern food!

[@FredButters-vb8rd]

If you go to Nashville and you don’t eat at loveless cafe I can’t forgive you.

[@Buzzkill-wn7tf]

That pie looked awesome! Once a year I take a chance on a slice of pecan pie (found out 15 years ago I am allergic to pecans, technically). Always a treat. That looked way better than anything I can get around here!

[@robertkatz5256]

Hi UA looks good yummy 😮RK👍🏻

[@robertjason6885]

Places like this, while good, can’t hold a candle to the best, Monell’s. It’s in another league as to quality, and vibe. Like having Thanksgiving dinner. Friday night. Get there early.

[@jdweberg]

I've lived in Nashville area for 9 years and still haven't tried it! The prices and the fact that it's family style have made me want to go with a group and really enjoy it - but I've never been able to get a group together that wants to go!

[@dennist.8210]

Hi UA! Nice video as always, and it's good to see Tina more involved as well! Hoping at some point you'll give a previously recommended suggestion of mine a try! Christos steakhouse in the Astoria area :). Been yearssss since I've been there but it used to be quite good!

[@Oobaglunk]

The Pecan Pie was at squint level 1,000.

[@josephdover198]

I didn't know whether it tasted terrible or if he was trying to force out a shit into his pants right there at the table.

[@MbisonBalrog]

Are you going to hit up Asheville just over the mountains in NC? Underrated food scene there. Plus the nearby Lake Lure area has some good eats too. About an hour away is place called Forest city, and in its downtown there is a luncheonette inside a pharmacy. Really good food there as well.

[@GildedOnyx]

this... this comment did not age well at all.

[@MbisonBalrog]

@@GildedOnyx lol 😝 true who have thought. I think Forest City still fine.

[@MbisonBalrog]

Hey UA; I know you in the South right now, but when you do make it back up here go the Hazleton PA. There is a great lunch place called Jimmy's Lunch. They have the best hot dogs and chili I have ever tasted. Please go there and hype the place up so they dont close down.

[@uaeats]

Thank you for the rec! I'm actually back now, I wanted to post the Din Tai Fung video before this though since it's a newly opened restaurant. It looks like Jimmy's Lunch has great reviews. Would love to try it sometime!

[@MbisonBalrog]

@@uaeats we need get word out on that place. I don’t want it to close. I live too far and can’t get there enough 😆

[@Tracy81258]

After 6 years in the Navy it always makes me laugh when people are afraid of a little rain. If you ain’t wet you’re not really living. Lightning however is a different story.

[@justrobin8155]

Phones may not agree...

[@SanDiegoDaD]

No one but you cares about being in the navy weirdo

[@Michael-s9r5y]

To say it’s a “soft” generation is an understatement. God help us if and when we ever have to go to war, and depend on those who are afraid of rain. With all due respect, just my opinion.

[@McgruberJ]

Exactly I worked on cargo ships for 5 years rain does not faze me in anyway

[@Black_Rabbit_84]

I don't mind getting caught in the rain, but not if I'm going to be sitting in a restaurant.

[@cpg1388]

I hope you and Tina get married and make some mini UAs

[@aliciarobinson4107]

That's real cornbread, not cake, and all greens aren't collared greens. I can tell, just by sight, those greens were mixed with turnip or mustard greens. Lastly, mac n cheese in the South, is not gourmet. Whether baked or made on the stove top, don't expect them to all be the same or made with bread crumbs, expensive cheeses or rous. Southern food is humble.

UA: any soul food spot in Miami has a platter like yours at about $10-12! 😢

[@tgamble1000]

Arnold's is just ok...the meatloaf, green beans, and black-eyed peas (with pepper sauce) are probably the best things on the menu...the chess pie is better than the pecan...

[@anthonyv1719]

2 piece chicken dinner for 18 bucks? Not cheap to be sure!

[@uaeats]

At least you get a lot of sides! But I agree, things that were once cheap everyman food like pastrami sandwiches, cheesesteaks, BBQ, and meat and three are now sadly not as affordable as before...

[@ashofaphoenix]

@@uaeats I think part of is that your at a James beard restaurant winning place, which definitely pushes up the price. Then its in Nashville which is relatively expensive cost of living for people in the south. This style of restaurant is all over the south, and the price point I'd expect at your medium sized city is some where between 6 to 10$. In My hometown these places were under 4 to 7$ most of the 2010s.

[@josephdover198]

@@ashofaphoenix lol yeah key time period most of the 2010's. There's no meat and 3 sides for 6 dollars anywhere in the country today. Even Food City deli it's about $10 for a meat with 2 sides. I live in southeastern TN as well. Cleveland about half an hour northeast of Chattanooga.

Cornstarch to thicken the sauce, not flour

Southern Cornbread is not supposed to be like cake. It's suppose to have a course corn grind texture and you pound it with butter. If you're not getting bits of corn in your teeth, it's not Southern.

This guy throws buckets of salt on steaks but complains collards are too salty. Ridiculous

[@Reyd_01]

Wow, you have it completely backwards. I've been in school foodservice since 2011. Yes, it's good that schools cannot deep fry anymore, but the over-correction that has been implemented is horrible. Lower calorie, sodium and fat regulations for student meals have led to even more processing of food to meet ridiculous standards. Natural foods barely meet USDA standards, so they're lab processed further. The avg sodium content in school meals for a starving child in public school is about to be less than a chronic, end stage heart patient. The cardboard & frozen meat pastes the US serves is not better than nostalgia of 30+ years, it tastes way worse and is processed more. Many teens would rather starve or throw it away. Maybe lawyers shouldn't play dietician for fun and maybe government bodies shouldn't let a lawyer make rules depending on who she's married to. Maybe we should consult food professionals for compromise?
