Dairy King | Tennessee Crossroads | Episode 3229.2

Restaurants come and go as fickle-food fixations change. One study by Ohio State University found that up to 60% of restaurants close or get new owners within their first year of operation. So, when Rob Wilds heard about a restaurant that is still going strong after more than 50 years, he knew he had to try it. Join Nashville Public Television's Tennessee Crossroads to find out more about Dairy King.

These are the places that you will always remember sorry that is closed

[@bernardschmidt5192]

Ate there a lot. The best food you could get in Nashville. And all of the Jones were super. Will never forget, and GOD bless them all!

It is now out of business as of August 01, 2020 Covid killed the business. Went to junior high with Jeff. So sorry to see it go. Wish Jeff and his family the best.

[@MyTaylorb]

Covid didn't kill it, stupid politicians did. As soon as they ordered every thing closed, their pay should stop.

[@monmixer]

That's so sad. Hopefully they will get it it back up.

[@msway836]

Thats too bad, But Wally Mart was allowed to stay open and have over 200 people in their store. They should sue the city like most are doing around the country. Incompetent, Politicians who cant manage a Baby's Birthday Party....

@@msway836 correct

[@TheAshley9697]

@@MyTaylorb yup, they don’t care about jewels such as this place.

[@TriStarGearhead]

It was a bittersweet moment when it closed. On one hand it's upsetting that a landmark restaurant like that closed. But on the other hand I'm happy for Jeff and his family to have made enough money where they could retire. I will say I don't think the second location had the magic of the first corner stand. My grandmother had her first job at that first dairy king in the early '50s.

The best fried pies in Nashville. One of the best restaurants that will be missed.

I remember that flood and seen your place under water. Great comeback. 👍😊

[@godschildyes]

So does that mean this place was around before Dairy Queen? 👑

[@msway836]

Back in the Day, It was Named Burger Queen before it was named Burger King, my mother use to take us there, I remember like it was yesterday....

[@patandersen4271]

Pretty looking perfect pancakes!! God bless those folks they know how to cook and take pride in serving good food. I pray everyone stays strong and healthy and that the family and employees have many more years of success.

[@ronphillips6336]

Awesome, would love to have the flat cornbread recipe. Love. Shouldn't post till the you see the pies. Nice.

[@sheryljones5207]

Looks so good would love to visit.

[@davidjones8629]

Hated to see them close down...

[@bevh9792]

Covid took this treasure out 😞

[@landonwarren4507]

[@dalejones4186]

[@shlomovenezia101]

"kinda like a crack dealer" LOL

[@MustangGuru]

Their meatloaf is to die for, to bad due to COVID they had to shut down. I think it’s out of business now as of this year.

[@jessbee74]

So sad

[@monmixer]

Take good care of your help and they will work hard and be loyal to the brand.

[@writereducator]

Nice place for sure but can you get rid of the plastic and styrofoam?

[@oldmcdonald9582]
