    Palatable food. WAYYYYY overpriced. Would not recommend. Seriously, don't waste your money.

    Parking is odd and setup to help you ding another car. The food was below par. The staff was very friendly. But the prices I think are steep based on the food quality. While I would expect some greasy food at a Meat and 3 I would question why everything is so greasy. So this company takes it up a notch and adds pepper to their food. I guess that counter balances the grease. How can you get carrots greasy? Regardless, you can go. But don't be shocked. You have been warned.

    This place is a top notch meat and three. Kinda of a strange location, but worth the drive to get there. The Tortilla Soup is amazing, and the service is very friendly. Highly recommend for anyone who likes Arnolds or any other cafeteria style meat and three. One of the best in the city.

    I would never consider myself a "meat and three" person. The only reason I stopped by City Cafe East was to meet George to discuss catering options. He let me sample from the food and then have a full meal of my choice. Man, it was good! The fried catfish was tasty and whatever is in the mac & cheese gets a thumbs up. I couldn't eat it all. As probably expected, the place is not heavy on decor. But the food won't have you caring about it. Plus George and his family and the rest of the staff are friendly folks. It's too bad this place isn't open for dinner. So get yourself down there for lunch!

    Hoboy! Are you hungry???? Great food here all around - Chef George is always working the counter and he takes pride in what he does. Remember the old saying, "never trust a skinny chef"? Well you can guess what kind of restaurant he runs here. interestingly there are not much women to be seen in the dining room during lunch but keep in mind that the dishes are heavy, Southern fair. Go hungry but don't expect a big dent in your pocketbook. (I should say "wallet"). Get on the mailing list to find out when Brisket Friday's are going on cause it's the real deal.

    This is the best meat and three I've found. The tortilla soup is amazing. Baked tilapia is perfectly cooked every time and seasoned to perfection. Both the green beans and the turnip greens are packed full of flavor. Friday's hobo surf-n-turf is a must for you catfish lovers. You get a half order of catfish and half order of another meat. I could go on and on but this is a place you just have to try. I eat here about once a week and it never gets old.

    My boyfriend and I have driven by here countless times, but never during business hours. Driving by today, we saw that they were open, and decided we had to stop in and try it. City Cafe is a traditional meat and three. You line up and grab your tray, cafeteria style. The servers are just as happy as can be, and are helpful if you have menu questions or requests. I went with the bowl of chili to combat the cold day, and some Cajun cornbread. I tried, but failed to resist the cherry cobbler as well. It was all so good, I couldn't finish everything! Well, I finished the cobbler, but I really fought for it - it was too good to let go to waste! My boyfriend had the barbecue chicken, as well as the mac and cheese and fried okra - both of which were also delicious. We pretty much rolled ourselves to the car, we were both so stuffed! Talking to the cashier we learned that this place has strange hours because they do a lot of catering on the weekends - and I can definitely see why! I would absolutely have them cater an event. So, if you happen to be in the area during lunchtime, definitely stop in!

    I was in the mood for some comfort food so a friend recommended City Cafe for lunch. I was indecisive on what to eat so the server treated me to 3 samples: red beans and rice, gumbo, & the chicken tortilla soup. As a New Orleans native I am hesitant to eat red beans and gumbo outside of Louisiana but to my surprise it was delicious & well seasoned. The chicken tortilla was my favorite. I ordered the barbecue chicken, fried okra, & macaroni & cheese. It was delicious also! The restaurant was clean, comfortable environment to dine in, & a friendly staff. I will be returning in the near future and recommend this restaurant to others who love home cooking with a cajun/creole twist.

    Our crane operator recommended this place and I owe him a debt of gratitude. It is a tremendous local find that I would surely have missed. The food is served cafeteria style. The owner George pegged us as "new victims" and gave us tastes of 3 different items. All good. I had the red beans and rice. It comes with a Cajun Johnny cake which was the best Johnny cake I have ever had. I also sampled the broccoli casserole. Something I don't normally care for, but in this case delicious. The meatloaf was also very tasty. I didn't think the prices were any different than most of the other places we eat, so I am not sure where that complaint comes from. I did see George thank a vet for his service, give him a discount, and carry his food to the table. I thought it was a particularly sweet gesture. This is not very far from Opryland, so if you are there for a visit take a little side trip to see some real Nashville.

    Tried this place on 2 different occasions based on some "great" reviews. Not sure what has happened but the food was ok - nothing to write home about and I wouldn't have returned except I went with some people from work and I didn't have to pay the exorbitant prices. I will say that the staff is very friendly and the banana pudding is some of the best I've had in a while. Don't go with high expectations and you might be surprised.

    Great place to eat lunch! The actual location on the map is NOT where the restaurant is, it is at Lebanon pike and Spence lane. The food is outstanding and every couple of weeks George cooks brisket which is not to be missed. 2 of my other favorites are his gumbo and Jerusalem Chicken on thursdays. Bring a healthy appetite and prepare to have your taste buds assaulted with delicious flavors not found at other traditional meat and 3's.

    Good meat and three diner in commercial area. If you can get past the Big Rig vibe outside, you will like what you find inside. In fact its so good that the owners do a popular catering business as well. The food goodness is almost up there with Copper Kettle downtown, which also does catering on the side. The surroundings are simple, but the food is rad.
