Tennessee Restaurant Crowned The 'Best Diner' In The State

After first opening in the early 1900s and gaining popularity during the middle of the century, diners became a staple of the American landscape. The quick-stop restaurants are places hungry diners can visit and always ensure they will find a hot cup of coffee, indulgent breakfasts, classic lunches and filling dinners all without making a big dent in their wallet.

Taste of Home searched "coast to coast" to determine the best diner in each state, the beloved eateries serving up "good old-fashioned diner fare" that became a classic for a reason. According to the site, the best diner in all of Tennessee is Arnold's Country Kitchen, a Nashville staple that has been serving cafeteria-style meat-and-threes to the community for decades.

Arnold's Country Kitchen is located at 605 8th Avenue South.

Here's what Taste of Home had to say about Tennessee's best diner:

"It doesn't get much more mom-and-pop than Arnold's, where diners receive their food cafeteria-style. The uber casual atmosphere and buffet trays of roast beef and mashed potatoes are still top quality, though — the restaurant received a highly coveted James Beard award a few years ago."
