Mallard's Family Restaurant

Mallard's Family Restaurant has been a beloved Nashville institution since 1993, serving authentic Southern comfort food from its convenient location on Dickerson Pike in the north side of Music City. This old-fashioned, family-owned and operated establishment captures the essence of traditional Tennessee dining, offering generous portions of home-style cooking that keeps both locals and visitors coming back for more. The restaurant specializes in the beloved Southern tradition of Meat and Three – a plate lunch featuring one protein paired with two or three fresh vegetables – available daily for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is served all day long from Tuesday through Sunday, featuring classic American morning fare that fuels Nashville residents for their busy days. The menu also boasts an impressive selection of hamburgers, sandwiches, and salads. Special events draw crowds on Wednesdays for their famous all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinners and on Fridays when fresh fried catfish takes center stage. Desserts are available to complete your meal. Located near Skyline Hospital in Madison and close to Goodlettsville, Mallard's provides a welcoming atmosphere where generations of families have gathered to enjoy honest, hearty Tennessee cooking. The restaurant operates Tuesday through Sunday, opening bright and early at 5:30 AM to serve the community.
