Meat And Three

I’ve so been looking forward to trying this place because of all the good things that have been said about it! Meat and Three did not disappoint!
The night I went it was not their normal menu. I had the opportunity to go when they where having their first «Who wants to be a chef» series. Michael L. Compton was the guest chef that night. (Part of the proceeds went to benefit Paws 4 Love)
Chef Compton’s menu started with an appetizer of a radish with butter and a piece of baguette with a slice of red beet, ricotta, and arugula. The radish had a hint of salt and was very refreshing! The main course was a triple pork meatloaf wrapped in bacon with an apple chutney, succotash, ratatouille and turnip mashed potatoes completed the meal. For dessert was an amazing pear crisp! The whole meal was so yummy! It was like going home to mom’s house for dinner, but ten times better! The meatloaf just melted in your mouth. The atmosphere was very nice and simple. Loved the rock lyrics on the wall. Also, really enjoyed that the chef came out to talk to each table.
I totally plan on coming back on a night when they have their usual menu! Meat and Three is a great locally owned restaurant! You can totally take anyone there from your toddler to your grandma and they would all leave there full, satisfied and very happy!

The apricot bacon wraps were my favorite. The porchetta is sublime, if you like fatty meats.
Must finish with a pudding cup!
We constantly get spoiled at Meat and Three or Bread and Butter. It seems there is always some special that was made particularly for us. Even when they are busy, everybody there seems to be really loving the restaurant.

The fact that that Meat and 3 is about a 40 mile round trip from my house didn’t stop me from going there twice in less than a week once I discovered it was open. Before you go here, get one thing straight: there is nothing unconventional, fancy or creative about the food. I absolutely don’t mean that as a slam because the food here follows in the footsteps of Chef Chris’ other restaurant Bread and Butter: it’s quality comfort food that is worth more than they are charging for it.
Meat and 3 is in the same shopping center as B&B, just a few stores down. The store front is like the food, simple and unassuming, but stepping inside is like going to dinner at a friend’s house; you just feel welcome. There’s family style seating as well as regular two and four tops. The décor is homey and inspirational quotes and song lyrics give the walls some added life.
The menu is pretty simple– you get a choice of meat and up to three sides (or you can just get three sides for about $ 10). The menu changes daily, but some of the mainstays are brisket, porchetta, fried chicken, roasted chicken, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, potato salad and sauteed kale. You can probably call ahead to see what the day’s offerings are or you can follow Meat and 3 on Facebook as they sometimes post the day’s specials on there. Sure the menu might be smaller than your average menu, but the goal here isn’t to do a lot of different things and have them be mediocre; it’s to do a handful of things and make them the best! It’s a great place for picky eaters because so much of the menu is familiar favorites and also great for your food snob friends because well the food is just good.
My favorites so far have been the porchetta, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, sauteed kale (I KNOW) and green beans (again, I KNOW). The porchetta can be a little fatty, probably depending on the day and what cut you get, but the flavors are spot on I had it served with this cranberry-​ish relish that cut through the savory flavors so well. The fried chicken is probably one of the best I’ve ever had and is really similar to the one served at Bouchon on their Ad Hoc fried chicken days. I’ve made that chicken before and the recipe is super involved, so I’m glad a) that I don’t have to wait around for Bouchon to serve and b) don’t have to make it myself! The only thing I really didn’t care for was the roast chicken-​it was a little plain for me, even with the gravy.
Again, stay updated about specials, restaurant closings and what Chef Chris is up to on Meat and 3’s Facebook page. He recently announced some restructuring (possibly closing Bread and Butter-​which would effectively end my life) and is really good about keeping restaurant patrons in the loop there. It’s really hard to hate on a restaurant that is owned by someone who is so passionate about making the experience-​service and food-​worthwhile for everyone who dines there. I know there is no such thing as a perfect restaurant, but even with its very minor faults, Meat and 3 really is about as good as it gets.

I honestly just don’t get it.
Ever since I saw an article on Meat and Three I’ve been dying to go.
Positive reviews and yummy pictures got my hopes up.
AWESOME concept. They have meat entrees and you either get two or three sides. You can get more a la carte. They have fried chicken, porchchetta, Salisbury steak, liver and onions, and beef brisket.
There are a big variety of sides both hot and cold.
There are desserts too. There were no cups when I went though.
You place your order, pay, take a number, have a seat, and wait for your food.
Ideally this seems like a good idea, but I wasn’t a fan of this system.
First off, ordering took very long. They have an open kitchen and the person who takes your order reads it to the cooks.
Now second. Sorry but I’m not leaving a tip right when placing my food order. If you just have a card that is your only option.
I think it’s a huge disservice to their servers. I’m a great tipper and if I had good service on a $ 25 – 35 bill for two then a large tip wouldn’t be out of the question. But I wouldn’t leave that right when ordering! Hopefully everyone understands my point.
Yes I left them a tip, but that’s beside the point. I really think they should change to a traditional ordering style at a dine in restaurant especially with the price being $ 15 to $ 25 with drink and dessert.
The décor of the restaurant is cute. I like the tables and the condiment wall.
I ordered fried chicken, fried polenta, fried Brussels sprouts, and Mac and cheese.
They bring the food out at a very sporadic pace.
First pretzel bread and cheese dip. This was so good! That bread was AMAZING.
Next came my fried polenta. I honestly can’t tell you what the sauce was but it balanced well with the fried and creamy polenta.
I really felt excited for the rest of my food to come after those two things.
I had the fried chicken and it was not good.
I’m not even exaggerating that there was a huge amount of batter on my chicken. The crust was equivalent to the amount of chicken.
The chicken itself was cooked well, but that crust was gross.
I literally had a plate full of crust when I was done.
The Mac and cheese was mediocre. The cheese sauce was not cheesy. Their was no cheesiness or gooey and string cheese. It was a very thin and watery sauce.
The Brussels sprouts were burnt. It had an off putting taste and the seasoning was not even. Some bites were super salty and some were good.
I think they forgot my food because my cousin who ordered after me was eating for a few minutes before I got half of my food.
i blame it on the system as the server took the number away after the table when my cousin got her food. He then walked around when mine was done trying to find out where that fried chicken went.
I had the potato salad from my cousin which was good. This had dill and bacon.
Her green beans definitely tasted canned. Maybe they weren’t but hey they were bland and tasted canned so what can I day.
Her Salisbury steak was really good. I’d say it was like a meat loaf. It was topped with fried onions and I believe there were mushrooms in the sauce.
My nephew started crying half way into her food and as she was soothing him a staff member asked if she was finished with her barely touched food. As a crowd was coming in it felt as if she was trying to rush us out and it was very off putting. Her plate was super full!
My tip for the owner would be to train the staff better including the cooks! Tweak the recipes and try some quality control.
I’ll try back in a couple of months.

I’ve heard wonderful things about Meat and Three… so I was excited to finally try it. I wanted to order the brisket but they were out for the day, so I ordered fried chicken. My friend also ordered the fried chicken and we also ordered mac & cheese, coleslaw, and mashed potatoes & gravy. Before our food came, they brought us pretzels with an interesting dipping sauce.
The fried chicken is unlike any fried chicken I’ve ever had. The skin was super crispy and spicy! My friend absolutely loved it! I had a chocolate chip cookie for dessert and it was delicious!!! It’s think like it’s baked in a pan and it was the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had. I believe it was from Bread & Butter. They close at 3pm and the leftover desserts come to Meat and Three for dinner :)

FINALLY! I get to try the neighbor of Bread and Butter. I’ve been looking forward to this place since it opened, but I live 25 miles away so I knew it wouldn’t be a daily thing for me. I went with my boyfriend and our friend Toby. The meat choices we had were beef brisket, fried chicken, and Salisbury steak. I’d order the chicken or steak again in a heartbeat. The brisket was a tab bit dry but still good. Between us the sides were mash potatoes, mac&chz, green beans, dill potato salad, and fried brussel sprouts. I’d for sure skip the mac&chz again. It was average, bland and runny. However the potato salad was AMAAAZINNNG! And that goes secondly to the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever tasted. As Mary P. mentioned in her review, perfectly salted. With the perfect bit of crunch.
We were skipped on the pretzel bread and pimento dip, so we told the cashier and they had some out to us ASAP! Thank the food gods that we said something because that bread n dip was the freakin best! I had high expectations of the bread of course after all the amazing pastries from Bread and Butter.
Honestly my only possible complaint about Meat and Three, they were out of pudding cups! I had my order ready in my head to take 3 home! And none :(
$ 40 for 2 Meat+3sides meal, with drinks. And we killed everything, no leftovers. I for sure will return to try the porchetta and hopefully pudding cups!

Glazed Root Veggies — YUM!!! S’mores Pudding Cup — YUM!!! Salisbury Steak — YUM!!! Pretzel Bread with Pimento Cheese Spread– YUM!!!
The above ^^^^ were the standouts during dinner…
The Mashed potatoes were creamy and the cole slaw was right on target. The BF’s salad tasted good and was a good size as well — surprisingly I really enjoyed the BF’s Salisbury Steak. I never ever pick that meat option but man, the flavoring was tasty and all the mushrooms and non-​heavy gravy type of sauce was yummy…
I LOVED THE GLAZED ROOT VEGGIES!!! SO GOOD…
I ordered the fried chicken and because I’m a white meat type of girl my 1^st question to the cashier was if I paid extra could I just get breast pieces cause chicken legs are so yucky to me. She said that I couldn’t pay extra but that I would be getting a leg, thigh and breast. So, I was satisfied knowing a breast piece was coming my way…
Well, when the fried chicken came I noticed right away that I got a leg and 2 thigh pieces — I let the waiter know and he said no problem — he’d get me a breast… a few minutes later he brought me 2 more pieces and assured me that one of them was a breast piece. Sadly, they were still both thigh pieces but at this point I decided to just eat my food. I don’t know if the heavy breading on the pieces make it hard to distinguish if it’s a breast or not???
Anyhow, I read in earlier reviews that the chicken was bland — well, my chicken was rather tasty — the only problem though was that with 1 bite the breading fell off and the breading was to hard as well it was like a hard shell…
FYI– if it’s a busy night like it was when we went and you don’t sit right in front of the cashier be ready to be forgotten… I had to get up twice — once to ask for bread and pimento cheese spread and another time for utensils.
I decided to try the S’mores pudding cup which was heavenly!!! Loved it!!! and I also tried the strawberry shortcake pudding cup which was a disappointment because there was only a hint of strawberry taste in this whole cup — the strawberry flavoring was too light and I think there wasn’t enough cake in the cup as well…
I was also looking forward to ordering my much loved polenta but the cashier told me that they have stopped serving it… :(
The pistascio macaroon was yummy and large…
To my surprise the owner who was packing my goodies added some muffins and other flavors of macaroons for us to try at home for free. That was very nice of him and greatly appreciated!!!
All in all the prices are a bit high but the food at Meat and Three was yummy and we will be coming back but hopefully next time I’ll get my chicken breast piece and the tasty breading will not all fall off…

Mac and Three (more sides of that mac and cheese for this vegetarian), please!
I was hoping that this spot would remind me of Tom’s Home Cookin’ in Denver, and Chef Chris never disappoints. Follow Bread and Butter on facebook and you will see how incredibly generous he is with his customers. This is food cooked with love and attention to detail, including my favorite mac and cheese in town and super tasty pudding cups. Pimento cheese? There’s a sandwich from my childhood. Fried brussels sprouts were good, but a bit greasy with some burnt leaves. I still prefer roasted brussels. The sweet potato croquettes were served with a slight spicy cream sauce that was one word: addictive. My husband finished full portions of roasted and fried chicken, clearly pleased with both, but he said the roasted chicken was better. All the entrees and sides had a gourmet twist, in contrast to the traditional southern flavors of my memories.
The strawberry shortcake pudding cup was a quality dessert packed with fresh vanilla bean and strawberry flavor. I just wish the food was served by grannies with southern accents. While I live far from Mac and Three, it’s still a shorter trip than Cracker Barrel. I’m not about to say which restaurant I’m more likely to end up at. I bet Chef Chris and the guys could cook up some killer fried okra, and I would drive across town to try it!

ehhhhhhh, was the first thing that came to my mind. I had high expectations with these mom and pop joints opening up and getting a lot of buzz but this one certainly did not live up to the hype.
I ordered the fried chicken and mac n cheese while my friends ordered the brisket and Salisbury steak.
Fried chicken — cooked to perfection but BLAND
salsbury steak — big chunk of ground beef with decent gravy
brisket — super soft melt in your mouth but small portion
Mac n cheese — BLAND and not cheesy
They have a big wall of sauces/​condiments near the soda machine which i assume is to make up for the lack of flavor in the food.
Overall, I live on the west side of town and this place is not one where i would make a drive out to just have again.

My OG Ryan B and I decided to meat for lunch on Thanksgiving and he asked if I had any restaurant ideas. I had remembered seeing Meat And 3 mentioning on their Facebook page that they would be open that day, so I suggested we try it out. As a fan of Bread & Butter, I couldn’t wait to give this place a try.
We arrived around 12:30 and they weren’t busy at all. We were greeted warmly and everyone in the restaurant wished us a Happy Thanksgiving. I was having a hard time deciding what sides I wanted and they offered me samples of the ones I was debating between. That helped in my decision-​making process. I decided on the porchetta as my meat and chose the fried brussel sprouts, swiss chard and macaroni & cheese as my three sides. My mom went with the turkey and ordered the mixed green salad and mashed potatoes for her sides. My Ryan ordered the brisket with sweet potatoes, stuffing and mashing potatoes. They started us with some of their bread with pimento and cheese dressing, a nice start. Our meals came out and we were absolutely delightful. All the proteins were moist and flavorful. The sides were great as well. My favorite was probably the brussel sprouts. They were cooked well and I can’t wait to try them again soon. All of us were so incredibly and happy with our meals. We left feeling extremely stuffed and pleased with our meals, planning another visit soon. I’m looking forward to trying their fried chicken next time. I’m thinking about sharing that and just doubling up on the sides, since those are always my favorites.
As we ate, the restaurant filled with large parties gathering for their holiday meals and other customers coming in to pick up their catering orders. Every person was greeted warmly as well.

Got the beef brisket (so delish and tender, I almost cried!!) with mac-​n-​cheese, green beans with caramelized onions and lemon, and carrot salad. My friend got the porchetta (it was good, but my brisket was better!) and the glazed root veggies, farro salad, and mashed butternut squash. We went at 8 pm on a Thursday and the fried brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes were already sold out — sad! Will just have to go back! Also they only had 4 dessert pudding flavors left.
Mac-​n-​cheese was the best side and the first finished, and then the root veggies would probably be my second favorite — a great Fall dish and yummy, sweet flavor of the medley of veggies. Also with three sides, it was enough food that I feel satisfied, not stuffed, and we actually took a small box home of leftovers. Thought I was mulling over getting a pudding to cup to go if they had the Chocolate with Nutella in stock, but guess I’ll have to come back!
Fun ambience, attentive service, and when I asked, one of the servers knew exactly what was in the veggie dish (carrots, parsnips, and turnips).
$ 16.16 for a Meat and 3 sides. I will definitely be back — looking forward to seeing new menu items and to trying the dishes that were sold out this visit… A great addition to the Henderson area!
PS — the hours are 11am to 9 pm

With the rave reviews and the famed sister, Bread& Butter, I was really excited to try this place after the beer fest birthday festivities and invited a friend to join us and her kiddos.
It’s counter service and seat yourself. This is DIY drinks and condiments. I like they had sweet green ice tea as a drink option and I’m a sauce person so the large hot sauce, ketchup mustards, pickled garlic and green beans were appreciated. It’s cute in here in that Pinterest does country cozy type way. The silverware and napkins are on the table which was kinda sketch. Immediately the kids grabbed some to play with and took them away before one loses an eye waving a butterknife. I know a lot of parents don’t pay attention and don’t care so I was imagining a random baby used my fork as a pacifier and putting it back. I’m not even a germaphobe, but that bothered me.
We got a meat & three times two. The fried chicken is really crispy so it’s for the fans of the heavier breading style. I like crispy, but the batter was a bit heavy handed even for me but it was juicy and pretty decent over all. The porchetta was juicy and the touch of berry sauce was a good pairing with it. Fried brussels sprouts were great in that chip kind of way. Easy to want to nosh a plate and I set it off with some hot sauce from the wall of condiments they have. Mash potatoes were standard, but quality. Mac N cheese was proper. Potato croquettes turned out to be sweet potato and come with a cream sauce which I highly enjoyed. Bacon dill potato salad was great flavor though it had too big potato pieces that in 3 bites it was basically all done.
Complimentary they gave us some bread rolls with pimento cheese which were nice and ended the meal with some small snickerdoodle cookies. We also got pistachio, pecan and lemon merengue pudding cups. It was decent enough of a dessert, but nothing too standout. At the end of the day — it’s pudding.
They were nice enough at the counter and the chef came to check on us which was nice for a counter service place to do. I think it’s still important to check on people.
So the food generally was good, but I think the portions to price to ambiance is a bit off. Based on some reviews that said portions were good, we only got 2 meat and threes to share between 3 adults and that was not the case at all. I wont count the kids who took 2 bites of mac n cheese and proceeded to eat yogurt puffs from home. The fried chicken says half and we received 3 pieces which was a drumstick and the thigh cut in half so a fourth and not a half. The porchetta was one slice, the size of a teacup plate. Sides are standard sizing in that they’re in those little soufflé ramekins a lot of places use. I debated on getting another portion of maybe the specials since people seemed to be getting them and the portions looked good, but we were there close to closing so I decided we should just go. No, I’m not expecting fatty wheelbarrel me out type portions, but I dunno how I feel about leaving not hungry, but also not at a comfortable full. With it also being serve yourself on top of that, $ 55 (w/​a bit of tip) seems a bit high to me. I’m still a bit buzzing from beer fest when I ate and if I feel this way on happy vibes then well that isn’t good.
Food is decent enough, but we do not drive from Centennial to go eat at just decent again so I think I’m a pass for this place. I’m not buying into the hype.

It’s as good as everyone says it is. The biggest negative is that the restaurant isn’t bigger. They need a larger space to accommodate the hoards of hungry diners waiting to eat here. For our family of three (two adults and a four year old) we got two orders of the «meat and three» which was a reasonable $ 32.32.
The proteins consisted of the beef brisket and half of a roasted chicken. The chicken — unfortunately, a little dry — was one huge bird. We had enough for leftovers the next day. The brisket was simply amazing. Calling it the best brisket in town might be justified. It didn’t matter that there weren’t any more knives at our table because it was as tender as a well cooked pot roast.
Out of the six other items we got, the fried brussels sprouts were the runaway hit. They were crispy to the point of almost being like potato chips and so good that I’d be happy to eat them and nothing else on a return visit. The green beans were delicious and the two orders of mashed potatoes were good, especially if you like them smooth and creamy. The butternut squash had a consistency and the look of mashed sweet potatoes. The last item, an oreo pudding, was very good without being too sweet.
The best seat in the house might be the communal table. If you don’t mind having dinner with complete strangers you could be entertained by the people around you. Two of the people across from us were great to talk with and made the meal that much more enjoyable. It was a great experience all around with the delicious food and good company.

I really wanted to love this place… there are so many great reviews, but I can only write about the items we had and of course, provide the review IMHO.
We ordered:
–Porchetta: flavor was decent, but I didn’t like the sogginess of the skin.
–Fried chicken: chicken was moist but too heavy on the breading and very bland. I prefer Popeye’s chicken over this… eek. But I guess at least those pieces were cooked. The table to our right had to send their fried chicken back since it wasn’t fully cooked. But no worries, they had two complimentary dessert cups for that screw-​up.
–Fried brussel sprouts: was yummy.
–Mashed potatoes and gravy: yum… KFC mashed potatoes and gravy.
–Butternut Squash: I miss my butternut squash soup.
–Swiss Chard: um… good for people who doesn’t like to chew since it was so mushy. It was also kind of grainy, as if I was chewing sand here and there.
–Spaghetti Squash ‘Al Pastor’: Don’t know what is al pastor about this, but we only took a couple of bites and pushed it aside.
Pros: Décor, amush buche (pretzel and the pimiento cheese dip), fried brussel sprouts
Cons: Everything else that we tried.
Maybe I should have gotten briskets? And the desserts? There are many maybes that could have changed my view, but for now, it is a Meh.

Our friend Chris Herrin, who created the incredible Bread & Butter bakery where we get our muffins & bagels, has just opened a new place called Meat And Three.
Specializing in dinner selections that combine taste & heartiness, Meat And Three promises to provide the same value & satisfaction that has made Bread & Butter bakery such a great local success.
JJ stopped by Meat And Three tonight, and Chris generously bestowed this amazing meal on the unsuspecting barista.
The meal consisted of fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, fried brussel sprouts & a farro salad. All of it was perfectly cooked, with just the right seasoning. And it was followed up by some rum raisin pudding that was so tasty that it evoked childhood memories of family holidays past.
(Come on! Who pulls off fried brussel sprouts?!)
Check this place out!

My husband and I went to Meat and Three yesterday and I we loved it! We are BIG fans of Bread and Butter so we had high hopes for the restaurant.
The restaurant was a little hot and smoky, but I just read on their Facebook page that their A/​S was getting fixed so that should not be a problem in the future. We both chose one meat and three sides (piggies!). I ordered the fried chicken, hubby got the roast chicken, and we shared the mac and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, cole slaw and a green bean dish as well as two strawberry and chocolate puddings. Phew, was that a lot of food! Everything was delicious, just for some reason I didn’t fall in love with the fried chicken, but I have heard this is similar to Thomas Keller’s fried chicken recipe (chef/​owner Chris Herrin worked at Bouchon as their baker). So I am definitely coming back to give it another shot.

At this point I’m pretty certain Chef Chris and crew could serve up my shoes and they would be amazing.
A few feet down from my go to brunch spot (bread and butter) there is now Meat and Three. Having spent a great deal of time in the south I am a fan of the cafeteria style dining that Meat and Three pays tribute to.
You can get your choice of meat with 1, 2, or 3 sides. Three were 4 meats on the menu: Porchetta, Brisket, Roasted Chicken, and Fried Chicken. There were way too many sides to even list.
The menu is a lot to take in at first, narrowing it down is even harder since everything I’ve tried had been amazing. The ordering process was pretty simple, tell the girl at the counter what you want, she checks it off a little sheet, and hands it back to the kitchen. Pay the cashier, grab your drinks and pull up a chair.
The place has a great atmosphere much like bread and butter, there is a big communal table with several 2 tops surrounding it. One wall is covered in repurposed pallets, another is covered in what appears to be a delicious crossword puzzle, another wall is covered in mustards, hot sauces, salts, and various other condiments, while the open kitchen is a nice show while they prep your food.
The meal starts off with appetizers, we got Pretzels and Peanuts a great starter. It ws followed up by our order. We had Porchetta, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, bacon dill potato salad, root veggies, and a smores and dark chocolate pudding cups to finish the meal off.
The Porchetta was great, moist on the inside with a great crunch on the outside. The bacon dill purple potato salad was good, the coleslaw and mashed potatoes were delish, and the Root Veggies were AMAZING, I will be having pretty much all of them again sometime soon.
During the meal Chef Chris brought out a crock of Mac and Cheese, it isn’t on the menu yet, but it was some of the best Mac and Cheese I’ve had.
The pudding cups were a great dessert, but to be totally honest I think I would get an extra side over the pudding cup, even with the bruleed marshmallow on the Smores Pudding cup.
The portions are a good size and the food is outstanding. Another great restaurant offering from Chef Chris and Crew… keep up the good work!!!

Went to a soft opening of Meat and Three, the hot new restaurant that is set to officially open in a few days. This place is the brainchild of Bread & Butter’s, culinary genius Chef Chris Herrin. It is located just a hop skip and jump away from the bakery.
The focus on this place is serving homestyle dinners which consists of your choice of meat and 3 sides, hence Meat and Three! Comfort food Southern style!
You place your order and pay at the counter, seat yourself, server brings out your food.
The Food — Menu above the wall divides the list into four sections: variety of meats, then your choice of 3 sides: cold or hot sides and pudding cup flavors. If your carb conscious like me you’ll love that you are not just limited to potatoes either. You can choose any 3 sides you want.
I chose to have the glazed root veggies, fresh fruit and chocolate/​nutella pudding cup and Beef Brisket my meat choice. My side orders were served in colorful ramekins. The Beef Brisket was served on a separate plate and was a pretty generous portion enough to feed 2! The savory juices made it fork tender. Combined with the root veggies, it was a perfect hearty meal. The puddin cup was the perfect size, rich and creamy chocolate.
I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of my meal. It is a good value for what I paid. I’m just concerned for families w/​younger children. It can get steep paying the set price. Would be cool if they had a more affordable price structure set for families on certain days. Like a Sunday Family dinner nite (hint hint)
Service — Friendly and my order came out pretty quickly.

Atmosphere — Casual, country chic interior, the DIY wall art gives it a special kind of charm, table seating consists of separate tables & chairs for 2 or 4, banquette bench seating along the wall, communal/​cafeteria style picnic table in center of dining area for larger parties, or the more sociable bunch. Seating out in front of restaurant if you want to dine Al Fresco.
Looking forward to the official launch and many more meals here!

Bread and Butter fans can finally rejoice in the long awaited opening of Chef Chris Herrin’s sister restaurant Meat and Three. A familiar concept for those who are from the Southern U.S. region, for one set price, you choose one meat item and three sides which is a pretty good deal.
The atmosphere is just as inviting as Bread and Butter is, and the décor was jokingly summed up best by Chris himself: «Pintrest Bitch! LOL!!!» Yup, Wifey’s a Pintrest fan as well… The Kitchen is open and you can see and smell the action as they pump out the orders. There are drapes that block out the light from the diners and they also offer outdoor patio dining as well. There is also a huge picnic table which is one of the focal points in the dining room for a big party or community style dining.
For $ 14.95 per person, it is ALOT of food and for those of you who have a sweet tooth, one of the 9 different pudding cups will count as one of your three sides.(I was told that the menu items posted now will run through December 1^st, then they will make changes and additions accordingly.) We shared the Porchetta and Fried Chicken and our sides were Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Bacon Dill Potato Salad, Farro Salad, Carrot Raisin Salad, Spaghetti Squash Al Pastor Style, and for Dessert, Carrot Cake and Strawberry Shortcake Pudding Cups. Oh, but the food didn’t end there. We had White Bean Purée with Crostini and Spiced Peanuts for an Amuse Bouche and Pretzel Rolls with our dinner! Doggie bags for sure folks!
The Porchetta Had a nice fatty juiciness to it and the chicken was very similar to Ad Hoc/​Addendum without the coarse salt and rosemary bits. The tasty sides come in some good sized crocks and one side is most definitely enough for two people to share. Ran into Unilocaler Shirley B. there and she had the Brisket which looked amazing. The Pudding cups were a nice ending to our meal. The Carrot Cake Pudding Cup came with Snickerdoodles and a piece of carrot cake hidden inside. The Strawberry shortcake had a vanilla sponge cake hidden inside. Future plans include meat and three dinners from around the world, but for now, come on in and enjoy some good ‘ol Southern fare from Meat and Three. Congrats Chris… ALOHA!!!

Yes the rumors are true Meat and Three has finally opened. We have been invited for a preview night and this place is just a amazing as their sister store Bread and Butter located in the same shopping center! Meat and Three has a unique concept– choose one meat and three sides, two sides, or one sides. The menu the chef has created a unique, contemporary American dishes that tastes absolutely amazing!
For tonight’s menu we were treated with an assortment of appetizers that consisted of baked pretzel bread, fried mashed potatoes and fried rice balls. The fried mashed potatoes were absolutely to die for. The smooth consistency of the buttery potatoes with the crunchy fried shell is a perfect combination.
Next we were presented with the famous fried chicken that had a really nice rosemary batter. The fried chicken was accompanied by a carrot cole slaw, quinoa salad, and dill potato salad. I think this is what makes this is place the «new American contemporary» restaurant. The shredded carrots is marinated in a tangy onion dressing mixed with golden raisins and parsley. Trust me I hate carrots and I couldn’t get enough of it! The quinoa salad had a very «fresh and clean» taste from the minced celery and the potato salad is just like a traditional favorite with fragrant dill added.
Last but not least our server gave us an assortment of pudding cups to try. They had pecan, butterscotch, and chocolate with other assortment of desserts. If you are a fan of Bread and Butter you will have no problem falling in love with his dessert concoctions!
Happy eating :)
