It was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. We got our order to go. The portions were large and was very good. We will definitely go back. We live 2 hours away but my wife said if we lived in Nashville we would have lunch at Dandgure's everyday. My next Doctor's appointment is the middle of next month so we will be back for lunch.

What one would describe as a down home, hidden jewel. Fresh fried pork chops were EXCELLENT! Service was great. A must visit.

This place is by far the best meat and three around hands down! I have tried many places over the years and nothing compares to Dandgere's Cafe. I have been going there for 15 years, I used to work nearby and it was my favorite treat. I don't work nearby anymore and I long for there food as nothing close to where I work now even compares. Mr. Dan and all employees over the years have always been awesome!!!

A favorite lunch spot spot for locals. One of the best meat&3s of the city that invented meat&3s. A must for anyone visiting the Music City. Today had greens, pinto beans, fried okra and corn bread. Delicious, as always!

We eat here all the time for lunch. It's an excellent meat and three. The fried catfish is my favorite. Everything has such a good flavor. Highly recommend!

I was driving to another "meat and three" restaurant that I saw on a food show when I saw the sign for Dandgure's and decided to detour from my original plan . . . and was I ever happy about that! Wonderful and helpful service and delicious food (the catfish was fried to order so that was an extra nice treat). The owner took a real interest in talking about his restaurant and where I had traveled from so I felt very welcome. The decor also was very homey, so between the food, the service and the setting, it felt like eating in a friend's comforting home. I plan to ignore the more touristy "meat and three" places and instead frequent this restaurant on return trips to Nashville.

Having been in Nashville a week, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to eat here. I apparently saved the best for last. I had the fried catfish, turnip greens, Mac n cheese, country corn, & cornbread. And for dessert, blackberry cobbler & banana pudding. Couldn't help myself. I couldn't decide, so I got both. It was like eating at my Grandma's house again! Good ol' southern comfort food made with southern love! The servings were plentiful. (I ate on it for 2 days!) If I'd known the food was this good, I would have been Monday through Friday for lunch.

The place is small & homey, but the food is delicious and the portions are fair for the price. Parking kinda stinks if they're crowded but the food is worth it.

Excellent meal almost as good as what I grew up eating at my Grandmother's house.

We ate here for lunch on a Monday. We ordered fried chicken, jambalaya and Salisbury steak. Each came with 2 sides. Everything was absolutely delicious. Best green beans I have ever eaten. Each meal was under $10. The servers were all extremely friendly. The ambiance is authentic southern cafe. I would definitely go back if we stayed in town longer since menu changes daily. Oh yeah- Souvenir T-shirts are only $8.00.
