A “meat and three” restaurant is a beloved Southern institution. Here in the South, we revere this dining concept as it evokes memories of buffet lines after church or on other special occasions, whether at a relative’s home or at a local dining establishment. The cafeteria style approach of “meat and three” allows the diner to choose a meat and then pick sides from a variety of options. Looking for a local place that serves this type of menu? Traveling out of town and want to find a homestyle restaurant? Check out MeatandThree.com, an online directory of “meat and three” restaurants. In the Fort Payne area, you will find Tigers Inn and Sally’s Smokin’ Butt listed on the website. With the recipes featured here, all that is needed is a side or two (or three) to go with it. Serve one of these meaty main dish entrees with vegetables, rice, casseroles, macaroni and cheese, or salads of your choice.
