| - Locally owned!
Cute, minimalist interior (very un-Vegas)!
Good food!
Big portions!
Reasonable prices!
Good location (for me)!
On to the details: Before your food comes out, they bring you bread with pimento cheese spread - delicious! The bread was warm and fresh, and I could have eaten everything they served us, but I was trying not to fill up before my meal. The cheese spread didn't sound too good (pimentos - what are those things anyway??), but it was great, too: creamy, cheesy, and a little spicy. We also had the fried brussel sprouts as an appetizer and they were excellent - highly recommend.
For my meal, I had the fried chicken, which had an excellent crispy spicy breading and was 3 pieces (breast, thigh, and leg, I think), which was too much food for me. The sides I sampled were:
lemon meringue pudding cup (good, but I'm not reallly a lemon meringue fan, so I was disappointed when they were sold out of the oreo)
mac & cheese (surprisingly bland. I was hoping for better)
mashed potatoes & gravy (awesome, like what you hope to make at home but can never quite achieve)
white beans (never my fave, but I ordered them for the munchkin, and she loved them)
Logistics: the place isn't very big, but at 6:30 on a weeknight, we had no problem getting seats at one of the big communal tables. There is no alcohol (maybe they're working on a permit?), but I did see one of the tables next to us bring a bottle of wine, so I guess it's BYO. No word on corkage fee.
Overall, I highly recommend meat and three for its concept, its uniqueness, and especially, its food.
