“food is good but Horrible costumer service. Angela is the name of the waitress. ignored us and not very pleasant talking to us or don't even care. its not even 30 minutes us eating the food and she can't wait to make us go. I'm still eating and she already snatched my plate that I need to put my fork to the plate that I'm eating and just hand it to her. take note I'm still chewing my food. that is so rude. Manager or supervisor should do something about her she got attitude and racist against me and my boyfriend since we the only asain eating.“

“The baked potato needs to bake a little longer“

“I read about the restaurant on facebook. My son has a birthday tomorrow and he loves good fried chicken. We ordered family pack of fried chicken, and sides. The chicken was really good, macaroni and cheese, and fried okra all prepared well and we all enjoyed it. There is a need for southern soul food in this area and this hit the mark.“

“They had just ran out of slaw and their fryer was off when I had come through the drive thru, so I wasn’t going to be able to get the slaw or the tri tator that the barbecue platter comes with. I didn’t care about the tator, I was so sad about the slaw cus that’s what I really came there to try, but they let me switch it out for a side of loaded baked potato salad and a bag of chips for the tator. The loaded baked potato salad was just sooo good, I knew it would be but I was surprised how much I loved it. The chips were actually really good too. The baked beans were perfect wouldn’t have changed anything about them. I love that the platters come with a slice of pickle. The barbecue sauce was perfect too omg it paired perfectly with the sandwich, not too sweet or tangy it’s very well balanced. Overall I reallly enjoyed the meal. My only suggestions would be to maybe line the bottom of to go boxes with aluminum foil to help keep the bun from getting soggy as it sits and cools. I also wish the platters came with drinks 😩 but the taste and quality of the food for $12.06 wasn’t too bad. I’ll definitely be back, im so glad i finally got to try this place ! keep up the good work yall 👍“

“We typically order from Jim and Nick‘s BBQ. But with their prices going way up, we wanted to try something new… I ordered delivery of a full rack of ribs and took advantage of the Bogo wings for Sunday’s football game. Famous Dave’s did not disappoint! The food was out of this world, bbq-licous!!!! One of the order of wings had their Kurveball whiskey sweet glaze. This was one of the best sauced wings I’ve ever had in my life! I stopped by the next day and talked to the manager to complement them on my order, and really, to see if I could learn a little bit more about the glaze they put on the wings. Heather, the manager on duty, was very sweet and although she was no way going to give me the recipe, she did offer some advice on a home made version. Not sure I can get it as good as you guys but either way, we will be ordering again. Can’t wait to try some new selections. This is our go to barbecue joint going forward. Please make the whiskey sweet Glaze a permanent offering. Also, a shout out to The Dash Driver. She was prompt, courteous, and very much on time. Thank you, Famous Dave’s!“

“Stopped by for a short lunch outing with colleagues; haven't been in a long time. There was a menu specifically for lunch items and there were lunch specials. Everything was clean and enjoyable, service was speedy and all needs were seen to in a short time and in a nice, respectful manner.“

“Tabatha was my server and she did a excellent job! She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend eating here.“

“Korean is my favorite cuisine so I'm delighted to have found this restaurant. It has a comfortable ambiance, very clean and open. I had lunch there. I had been seated and given a menu. The website stated they had lunch specials which didn't appear on the menu. I asked about it and the server retrieved the lunch menu which had a number of choices priced at $10.99 each. I had the Soft Tofu soup and chose seafood as my protein. While waiting for my entree they brought to me 4 delicious ban chan dishes - broccoli lightly seasoned with sesame, kim chi, a delicious warm potato dish, and a macaroni salad. There were very generous portions of each. When my entre arrived - a bowl of rice and boiling hot soup I cracked an egg into it so it could cook while I enjoyed the rice and side dishes. I often order this dish at other Korean restaurants, and this was the most flavorful soup I've had, with plenty of tofu and some seafood. There was so much food I had to take some home and had it for dinner. I felt it was a bargain to have 2 meals for $10.99. The menu showed that the restaurant also offers tables with grills so you can have that experience, but it requires minimum of 2 diners, and not part of the lunch menu. I will be returning to the restaurant for lunch and may try the grill option when I'm not dining solo. I recommend this place.“

“Excellent service, delicious food, strong recommend. (Only “complaint” is that it feels about 62 degrees inside.)“

“Delicious BBQ! You can smell the amazing food in the parking lot. So good!“

“I had an excellent experience here today! The food was fresh and the service was efficient and friendly! This food took me back to the islands! They have a huge selection of main dishes, desserts, and drinks. Hawaiian Sun drinks are my favorite and they have so many flavors there!“

“Absolutely loved our experience at KPOT in Murfreesboro. This was our first time visiting and we were honestly blown away from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was outstanding — fresh, high quality, and full of flavor — and the variety was incredible. Having an all-you-can-eat option made it even better because we were able to try so many different meats, sides, broths, and sauces without feeling rushed or limited. Every single thing we tried was delicious. The overall experience was easily a 10/10. The atmosphere was fun, lively, and perfect for a night out, whether you’re with family, friends, or on a date. The staff was amazing — friendly, attentive, and very patient with us since it was our first time. They took the time to explain how everything worked, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed. That level of service really made the night even better. Honestly, this place puts The Melting Pot to shame. Not only is the quality just as good — if not better — but the all-you-can-eat option and huge selection make it a much better value and a lot more fun. You get more variety, more food, and a more relaxed experience without sacrificing quality. We had such a great time that we’re already planning our next visit. We will absolutely be back, and I’ll be recommending KPOT to everyone I know. If you’re on the fence about trying it, don’t hesitate — this place is a must-try.“
