“Hey! We just wanted to reach out and say how much we enjoyed our first visit last night. The whole experience was fantastic—from the attentive wait staff to the amazing food. Everything ran so smoothly, and we were really impressed with the overall operation. You all made a great first impression, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“We ordered from Joanie's for the first time today and it will NOT be the last time! We had 5 orders and they were all delicious! You definitely get your money's worth! 5⭐️“

“At 85, I know excellent food. Theirs is just the best around. I crave their country ham. I rate their cornbread dressing along with my mother's. I especially enjoy their slaw and cornbread. Other vegetables are just fine as well. Of course, they have delicious chocolate cream and coconut cream pies. I go about 10:30 and can get my ham and some other goodies and then when 11 comes around I can order at least two plates to bring home. It is always a delight. I surely like all the ladies who serve! I hope they are there as long as I live. (I started enjoying them in Nashville in their original spot in the 1970s! How fortunate that they wound up here in Murfreesboro1)“

“Tried the Banana foster white chocolate mocha iced and it was sooooooo good! This is my family’s favorite place! You’ll always get a great review from us. 100/10!“

“Lucy had a very attitude and great work ethic definitely the best waitress there“

“Always good! Always consistent! One of our favorites in town.“

“Literally the WORST experience of my life at ANY restaurant! I paid almost $18 for a meal and got home in 18 degree weather and did not have all my items I requested! I called and the lady manager whom was on staff at the moment got SO rude with me and simply had no COMPASSION NOR CARED! Refused me a FULL refund for making me come ALL the way back up there in 18 degree weather! I showed up and the district manager was EVEN WORSE! He was a YOUNG PUNK with NO heart or Compassion and did not even TRY to make me satisfied as an upset customer! He made the situation WORSE by ARGUING back, instead of trying to fix THEIR mistake and the bad situation they put me through. This completely ruined me for ANY Culvers! If this is how they are changing and how they treat people...They have lost my support! It's a ashame and I'm so disappointed! This store is heartless!“

“I frequently come here for the daily deals. Especially on Thursday for the chicken Sandwich. One of the best sandwiches I've gotten for a restaurant. At only 6.99 for lunch its a steal! I can honestly say if I had to pay full price for this any other day I would!
The service is normally good as well.“

“Great atmosphere, great food, exceptional service given by our server Alyssia. She was quick and served with a bright smile. Made dining very pleasant. Highly recommend!“

“I have been eating at TTG since I was a little girl the service is AMAZING! The food is awesome, and they never disappoint. I have had an event there and it was very nice. If I just want to come in for a small lunch, I will be able to feel COMPLETLY comfortable! Everything is so very organized, and they have some pretty good customer service.“

“Lunch At Toot's South was outstanding today. Wings were great. Wife's burger was delicious and Amy, our server went above and beyond to take care of us. WILL be back!“

“Our meal and service were exceptional. Our server, Peyton, was delightful and we really enjoyed her attention to our needs and would highly recommend Peyton to everyone. The Steak Tips were delicious. Others at my table had Salmon and the Ribeye - again, nothing but raves. We are traveling from Ohio to Murfreesboro and met relatives in the area and Primrose was their favorite as well and I can fully appreciate the recommendation. Thanks again to Peyton who took care of a problem with my drink order and made it a perfect evening!“

“Great food! Best burger and beer cheese! Took fried Oreo to my 97 yr old Grandma and the priceless look on her face enjoying it was amazing! Nice people. Like the casual decorations and chill vibe for all ages.“

“Wonderful breakfast today…great food and great service. Kat was amazing and customized our orders for the absolute tastiest selections! Our kiddo LOVED the cinnamon roll pancakes!“

“These are our FAVORITE soft pretzels. We always get the salted pretzel bites. This is a must have place when we visit Murfreesboro!“

“Essence was great! Made it fun.“

“I have been wanting to try this place and it was worth the drive out to Franklin and get to enjoy it, chicken was so delicious, we will definitely be back“

“What a great experience! Not only was the food perfectly cooked but we had the BEST server, Rae. Her food and drink suggestions we're spot on for what we were looking for and her service was 2nd to none! You should ask for her if you're going for a special occasion. She will definitely make it memorable.“

“We stopped in for breakfast as we were waiting for our little dog to be groomed down the street. We had Grandma's Sampler and the food was delicious. Service was great. The appearance of the restaurant was very clean. I checked out the store before we left. There were great sales and excellent merchandise depicting Easter and Spring. The store was clean, well-stocked and maintained. It was a pleasure to hang out there while waiting to pick up our fur baby.“

“I came in expecting a simple burger place. I was wrong in a good way. The wife got a burger and loved it, I got a fried shrimp basket. The shrimp were actually breaded in house and reminded me of what you would get in New Orleans. We will be back.“

“Jeff is an amazing chef and person! He genuinely cares about each customer more than just profit. Chef treats his employees great which then translates into happy employees that offer amazing customer service! The food is delicious, the atmosphere warm and professional. I would recommend Salty Crew to anyone looking for great catering service for a party, special event or wedding!“

“I enjoyed my visit at the restaurant. Our server Jordyne was amazing. Next time when I visit, I ask for her. Thanks again.“

“Seasons 2 offers a very high- quality menu with great variety. You won't be disappointed!“

“Let me tell you that this place is OUTSTANDING!!!! never have I found a BBQ restaurant that was this good, the wings are undescribable I have no idea how to describe just how good they are, if you want good smoked wings this is the place! oh and by all means try that pecan pie, WOW“

“I tried their frittata for the first time today. It. was soo good. I'm already craving another. I will definitely buy an extra to go next time.“

“Culver’s is my favorite place to eat. Johnathon is my goat. He put me on with trying different things there and the culver’s sauce. I always have good service with everyone at Culver’s and the cheese sauce is my everything nothing else will ever beat it. Give Johnathon a raise!!!!!“

“Lots of food at a reasonable price. Pork Chops were really tasty. Chick was good. Vegetables were really good. Mac and cheese was too salty for my taste.“

“One of the best dining experiences I have had in quite a while. The meal was excellent only to be surpassed by the service we experienced.“

“Attended and work lunch this afternoon, food was great ! And our server MARK was absolutely amazing 🤩 Very energetic, and fun. Great Service. And how he can carry so many plates and drinks is impressive. If you’re going to go to Cheddars for lunch mon- Fri ask for MARK!!!“

“The best country food we have ate from a restaurant! The country fried pork chops to the bbq ribs , sweet potato,fried okra the turnip greens was perfect.. we can’t wait to go back !“

“Our server Danielle was EXCELLENT“

“Had a large group (about 15) and dined there on a busy Thursday night. Our waitress (Briley) was phenomenal - very personable, attentive and took great care of us. Food was delicious and the atmosphere in the restaurant was upbeat and fun. My first time to eat there and will definitely be back.“

“I went in at 9 am. Great food cooked as asked and well seasoned. I would come back here over going to the one in Nashville. The one in Nashville have the heat on too high the potatoes come out undercooked and burnt on the outside and they can’t make egg requests like the cooks in this location. The only comment about First watch is that the gravy doesn’t taste real. It tastes like it came out of a bag and not made with a southern taste. Other than that the location is great, the food is delicious, and the patio setting is wonderful. My server Jael was attentive and nice. She smiled every time we spoke which is something you don’t see anymore while eating out so it was refreshing. Thank you“

“very much enjoyed this the other day for the first time. I had the hamburger that had the egg included on it. my server Braxton did everything to make sure that we were satisfied the cuts of french fries were great. the macaroni was great and the burger was outstanding“

“The ribeye and loaded baked potato was delicious. The potstickers were great as well. Favor was our waitress, and she took great care of us.“

“We have been there 4 or 5 times! We have loved everything we have ordered! I'm stuck on the Fish Tacos, (so, so good!) but I also like their Nachos and loaded Tater Tots!“

“We were looking forward to eating at Hank's because of the reviews, but unfortunately our experience wasn't a good one. there were three of us and all three meals were disappointing. My husband ordered a BLT that definitely was nothing special. it was a very small sandwich with little substance. He did say they onion rings were good. I ordered a cheeseburger well done with mayo, hold the bbq sauce, and french fries. My burger came with no cheese, no mayo, no lettuce or tomato. When I brought it to the server's attention she went and got a slice of cheese from the kitchen and brought it to me on a plate along with a little cup of mayo. The cheese had obviously come out of the cooler. After taking a couple of bites I realized that the burger was very pink inside, almost raw. Again, I told our server and she apologized and offered to have another one made. I declined. I do have to say they have really good french fries. My son ordered the special, pulled pork nachos. my husband was almost done with his meal by the time they arrived and I had stopped eating mine. The nachos came with burnt chips and a glow of lettuce, salsa and sour cream and very little pulled pork. It was so unappetizing to look at. My son ate a few bites and I ate some but between the two of us we did not finish it, it wasn't a large plate to begin with. We will not be going back and we won't be recommending Hank's unfortunately even though we were given a discount. I'm unable to add photos or I would, I put them in the comments.“

“We took my brother-in-law (the food snob) there while he was in town. When our steaks arrived he asked for steak sauce. My wife told him to try the steak first and upon his first bite he kept raving about it. Now every time he comes into town we eat there. Demos has been our favorite since we moved here in 1998. We also love the curb service.“

“we frequent Longhornes Steakhouse once a week. It is our time to unwind usually at lunch. The food is always delicious and consistent. Many times we get Sean as our server and he goes out of his way to give excellent service and is extremely friendly, personable, and fun. Thank you Sean for making Longhornes hour “go to“ Restaurant.“

“Great atmosphere, loved the bartender! Amazing food!“

“Amazing bagels and so fresh. I've waited 9 years for a good bagel spot here since we moved down and am so excited for this. You all seem like the sweetest people too!!“

“This was a fun place to be. We sat for hours! 💕 Great drinks and appetizers.“

“My wonderful husband and I really enjoyed the great food and service the other day and look forward to coming back soon!“

“Thanks to my guy Steven Majors for taking care of me through the drive thru! Order was hot and fresh! Customer service was awesome! Definitely will be back to spend my money at Steven’s store! Thanks again bro!“

“Great food. Great service. And for once, very clean Waffle House experience! Highly recommend the stop.“
