Riddim N Spice

One of the best meat and threes in town is from a North Nashville Jamaican spot. OK, it’s technically a meat and two, but the plates here have the same ethos. If we could have the mac and cheese, original jerk chicken, and steamed cabbage from Riddim N Spice once a week (and alright, maybe the rum cake, too), we’d be happier than a country star licensing their name for a new Broadway bar. There might be no one in the dining room on a weekday afternoon, but you won’t care after placing your order with the friendly person behind the counter and tasting the quality of the food. Make sure you get a festival as well—it's a fluffy, subtly sweet corn-based roll that’s the perfect vehicle for sopping up all the sauce and spice.
