    We have passed this place every day for 5 months...just noticed it. Food was delicious! Perfectly fried fish! Good creamed corned. Delicious corn bread. My husband loved his meat and three, country ham with fried okra, fried squash, and pickled beets. I really loved the turnip greens too....actually had a " bitter bite" that turnip greens should have. This will become our regular meat and three from now on.

    The Mac and cheese was amazing. The cheese burger was awesome. Pam was attentive and always around right when we needed her. John came by often to check on us and make sure we were ok. The level of personal attention was beyond what I've experienced at any other eatery. I felt like I was in granny's kitchen.

    Love Norman Couser's, I have been going there since I was a young child and I don't think I have ever had a bad meal! The salmon croquets are my favorite, oh and the fudge pie!!!

    Tried this place on a whim a few months ago figuring it had to either be great or awful. Glad to say it was great. The catfish is good and the turkey and dressing tastes home made. They also have real mashed potatoes; a must for me. If you're in the area give this place a try.

    My cousin introduced me to Couser's Southern Restaurant this afternoon. The first thing I noticed as we approached the building (which was nice enough) was the lack of signage. Had I not been with someone who knew the place was there, I would never have noticed the unassuming white sided Southern house looking establishment. As we parked right in front of the door, and walked up the sidewalk to enter, it began to feel more like a restaurant. Inside, the decor was sparse, but considerably better than overdone, as so many family owned businesses tend to be. I did notice two lovely large portraits on the left going inside, an older gentleman, and a pleasant, sweet looking older woman, in beautiful frames. I had to get a closer look, and was intrigued with them. I am not a local, only visiting the city, so I had no clue as to who the people were, or why their portraits would be hanging inside the restaurant. As I glanced around the dining room, I noticed a nice looking more mature couple dining at a corner table, then we were led to our table by one of the nicest waitresses I have ever encountered. We made our selection from the ample menu, and decided to take a picture of the two of us for a keepsake of my visit to Nashville. There were several Nashville themed posters around, all nice, and we stood to include one next to our table in the picture between us. Another sweet waitress ran over and offered to snap our picture for us. We were most grateful, since selfies are difficult most times, especially when you want to have a large poster in the picture with two faces. We thanked her and as we sat back down, our food was arriving. We were rather surprised since we had not been there very long. We were both very happy with the appearance of our food, and began to eat. I ordered a side of Mac & Cheese, which looked amazing. One bite and I knew all other Mac & Cheese I had ever eaten in my 58 years was slightly superior to gruel. This was a taste bud sensation I had never experienced. Fantastic! I ordered another side of the amazing cheese-laden delight. Pure bliss. Put my own mother's Mac & Cheese to shame, and that woman could do no wrong. My cousin got Salmon Croquettes, which she claimed to be the best she had ever eaten. I had the chicken tenders, also, which were perfectly prepared, and probably up to par with any restaurants tenders. Of course we had other items, all of which were very good, but the Mac & Cheese and Salmon Croquettes were beyond all expectation for any Southern style restaurant. Afterward, we went to pay (incredibly pleased with the charge), and I inquired about the portraits, and was told that was Mr. & Mrs. Couser, then I asked if the older couple dining were that couple, and my suspicion was confirmed. One thing I know is Couser's will be on my list of places to visit every time I come to Nashville. Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Couser for a wonderful dining experience. I will see you again. ASAP

    Late Review -- we ate here on 1/24/15 after my fiancee picked me up from the Nashville Airport. I ordered a Country Fried Steak w/ mashed potatoes and fried squash. Fried Squash was bland, no flavor, but rest of my meal was pretty good, I liked it. My fiancee went with a 1/2 chicken dinner, collard greens and mashed potatoes -- she liked her meal a lot, it was a very generous portion of chicken. Service was great also, didn't catch the name of our waitress, but she was funny & attentive. Would certainly drop back in to Norman Couser's if we're back in Nashville, they make some decent Country food.

    Eating at a Meat and Three is one the greatest offerings of the South. Who doesn't like some good comfort food? I took the plunge with the deal offered via Yelp ($10 for $20 worth of food). It's a good deal. The Roast Beef with Gravy, Pinto Beans, Cole Slaw, and Fried Okra was decent. The Roast Beef was served as generous slices of tender meat covered in gravy. The gravy and the meat lacked flavor. I am not into salt these days, but I had to reach for the shaker to give this gray beef and almost colorless gravy some flavor. The same can be said for the Pintos. The Okra was ordered "crispy" and arrived soggy. Ok. The cole slaw was really good, sweet and tangy. One dining buddy had the Hamburger Steak which could have used some gravy to keep it from being so dry. No gravy was ordered and requested by him because he could tell that my gravy was not up to par. He seemed to down the Mac and Cheese and Green Beans without a word. My dining princess had the kids hamburger and Mashed Potatoes with Gravy. She took care of both seemingly enjoying the taste. The Fudge Pie, well, I am not sure. The server placed it on the table and my two kids scarfed it down so fast I didn't really get to try it out! Out the door for less than $15 (out of pocket) was a good deal...thanks to Yelp doubling my money.

    Norman Couser was probably a very nice man and a good cook. I am certain the restaurant that bears his name is not the restaurant it was when he was running the show. The portions are small and served undercooked but piping hot (microwaved?), and taste very much like the Sysco/Robert Orr stuff you would normally pay much less for at a snack bar. If any member of the Couser family is still alive, they should be suing the current owner to get Norman's name removed from this hole.

    Good food and super friendly staff! Our server Linda earned them an extra star with her since of humor and great service. The ribs were great and my wife enjoyed the chicken fried steak. The sides were middle of the road but we enjoyed it all.

    We just happened find this wonderful place tonight while driving home from a shopping trip. It was a great find. The food makes you feel like home with menu offerings such fried catfish, chicken and dumplings, mashed potatoes, fresh cornbread and much more. You can tell just from the atmosphere that the restaurant is family owned and operated with a lot of history. I felt like I was lost in time sitting in a restaurant with no music coming over loud speakers. Instead there were genuine employees who made you feel extremely welcome, as if you were a friend and other customers enjoying quite conversations over good food. If you are near the Nashville Zoo, try this place!

    Honey, the fried catfish is delicious and the spaghetti is too (just need to drain the noodles a bit more). I have been several times and they never disappoint. Wish onion rings were considered side dish and not ala carte. Good folks, and good food!! I approve this message!!
