Wabash Southern Kitchen is now open in Nolensville at 7301 Nolensville Road in the former Southern Hospitality Diner location.
On social media, they shared, “Thank you, Nolensville! Your incredible support at the Buttercup Festival made our day! We had a blast meeting each and every one of you. We’re so grateful for your enthusiasm for Wabash Southern Kitchen!”
Owners Taylor and Rankin Clinton told us the inspiration behind the name, “Our name, Wabash Southern Kitchen, pays homage to our hometown Nashville and the memories we’ve shared with our loved ones. The Wabash Cannonball ride at Opryland Theme Park was a family favorite, and it brings us back to a time of joy, laughter, and togetherness. It also was a famous country song in the 70s, which fits into our retro vibe and decor.”
Taylor and Rankin grew up in Franklin with family in Mississippi and New Orleans, telling us, “We are the grandsons and sons of three consummate southern ladies who taught us the joy of cooking and the decorum that emphasizes the importance of breaking bread together.” Looking back on their childhood, sweet tea, and fried chicken were a mainstay, and a purposeful gathering to share a meal was a family requirement. That’s what they hope Wabash Southern Kitchen will be for the community – a place to gather, make memories and share some Southern food.
The menu was shared, showing three starters: boiled peanuts described as deep south boiled peanuts with a hint of cajun kick. There is also a selection of sandwiches from pimento cheese, chicken salad, and fried chicken. Entrees feature a hot chicken bowl and fried chicken tenders.
Everything on the menu is $10 or less, which is hard to find when dining out. You can even end your meal with a moon pie.
Hours of operation listed are Tuesday-Thursday, 11 am – 9 pm, Friday-Saturday, 11 am – 10 pm, and Sunday, 11 am – 3 pm.
