Beautiful Black Owned Business run by Celeste. I enjoyed a wonderful meal of meat loaf, potato salad, cabbage and cornbread. This meal would only be 10.99 and is completely worth every penny. Lil Sista is happily watching us from above and would love to see you enjoying her recipes.

Such great food! I had a coworker tell me about this place and it was just fantastic. Had no idea this place even existed and I’m in Lebanon every day. There are of course other Meat and Three spots in Lebanon, but none with food this good and I sincerely mean that. Our server was very nice and kept our drinks filled the entire time we waited. We did have to wait some time for the food but everything hit our table fresh and hot when it did come. Im glad to have this additional food option going forward in Lebanon but more so glad to have one that feels “safe” as well.

Our meal was one of the best plates lunches I have had in a while. (I thought the sweet Potatos a little too heavy for me but had a good taste) turnip green awesome and green beans my husband had they tasted wonderful as well. Sweet Tea fresh. We will definitely be back. Worth the price ... very full when we left.

I give this wonderful hole in the wall eatery thumbs up. The first picture is how they bring it to you but the second on steals the show. Their fried chicken so awesome as well as the rest of the meal. The owner and staff are super friendly. I certainly will be going back here next week.

The menu offers a rich tapestry of soul food classics that satisfy both the palate and the soul. Starting with the Catfish Dinner paired with creamy mac and cheese and crispy hush puppies, each bite delivers a perfect balance of textures and deep, savory flavors. Their Fried Pork Chops, served alongside mac and cheese and tender green beans, speak to the heart of Southern cooking—simple, hearty, and executed with care.
