Photo of a picturesque restaurant seating area set up in a beautiful alleyway filled with green plants. There is a sign that says, “Welcome to Monell’s”. For $17 you are sat at a large dining room table with however many other people can fit at the table. As soon as the table is full, they start bringing skillet fried chicken, bacon, sausage, country ham, pancakes, these “fried apples” that were almost like apple pie filling without the crust, cheese grits, seasoned potatoes, corn pudding, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy (there’s also butter and homemade peach preserves to put on the biscuits) and cinnamon rolls. They hand each item to someone at the table and you take however much you want and pass it to your left. Now I do not normally go to all you can eat restaurants, because I have a stomach the size of a sparrow’s. But not only did I eat $17 worth of food, I believe I nearly ate my weight. That food was so SO good. We were practically moaning while we ate. Unbelievable. Keep this place in business forever.
With the help of Brandon Hall, host of excellent podcast Music City 911, @spilth.bsky.social and I ended up in HEAVEN this morning.
Monell’s. Monell’s, Monell’s, MONELL’S.
If you’re ever in #Nashville, TN at breakfast time, you would be sadly remiss not to eat there.
