Nashville’s famous Arnold’s Country Kitchen might be having a big, big upgrade. Both Nashville Eater and the Nashville Scene recently shared that the owner, Kahlil Arnold, revealed in an episode of the Nashville Restaurant Radio podcast that he is planning on extending the menu of the popular Meat-and-Three restaurant to include dinner, and also plans to add a bar this fall.

As part of the expansion, the new dinner menu will continue with some of the classics customers have loved over the years, which includes their popular Roast Beef, Mac & Cheese, Pork Chops, Chocolate Chess Pie and more, but in a slightly different fashion. Khalil also said he is considering adding items like ribs and smoked pork loin from Bear Creek Farms as well. Renowned chef and restaurant designer Edgar Pendley is reportedly helping with the new menu items.

As of now, the dinner and bar options will only be available Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

Arnold’s Country Kitchen opened in Nashville in 1982. Currently open Monday to Friday, from 10:30 AM to 2:45 PM, the restaurant remains one of Nashville’s most popular places to eat, for both tourists and locals.

Due to COVID-19, Arnold’s states on their website that they are only opening at 50 percent capacity. Social distancing is being practiced, including in both the lines while waiting, and while dining inside the restaurant. Groups are limited to six people per table. Curbside pick-up is an option, as is delivery through GrubHub, Doordash, Uber Eats, and Postmates. Arnold’s Country Kitchen is located at 605 8th Avenue South. Parking is available onsite.
