Wendell Smith's

Why We Love It: Wendell Smith’s Corner is a part of Nashville history, the Charlotte Pike restaurant plus liquor store, opened its doors in 1952. To this day, it retains its mid-century funk and charm. Wendell’s first became known for its diner-style breakfast and lunch. When son-in-law Jakie Cook took over managing the restaurant in 1969, it came into its own as a Southern Meat-and-Three. (Nancy Vienneau, Vegetable Plates We Love)
