Monell's

Nashville


In an old brick house just north of downtown, Monell's is beloved for down-home Southern food served family style. This is not just a meal – it's an experience – as platter after platter of skillet-fried chicken, pulled pork, corn pudding, baked apples, mac 'n' cheese and mashed potatoes keep coming…and coming. Clear your afternoon schedule!
