“Penne Pazze has become one of my favorite spots. We found it on a seed oil free app and decided to try it out. We come at least once a week now. All the dishes have lots of flavor. The Honey Pepperoni Pinsa is my go-to for a quick bite. I haven't met everyone but I can say Riccardo, Luke, Adalyn and Maddie have made my experience at Penne Pazze top tier every time. It's easy to order with the QR code at the table and I am never left waiting for my tab because I can close it out at my convenience. My favorite place to sit is at the bar. It's a front row seat to all the action going on in the kitchen. It is a casual and fun atmosphere with delicious food. I’m so glad we found it.”
“This is by far the closest thing to Korea (lived in Korea for 2 years) I have found in Middle Tennessee.”
“We lived near Love’s Pizza ever since it came to Murfreesboro but never tried it—BIG MISTAKE. We moved and ended up staying in a hotel in Murfreesboro on Christmas. One of the only restaurants open was Love’s, so we ordered pizza. The people working were so nice, and the pizza was amazing. We couldn’t believe how fresh the toppings were and how great it tasted! We wish we still lived close. Best customer service in the Boro! Thank you for feeding my family and being so kind!”
“Middle Ground is a great family friendly brewery! I love how accepted I felt bringing my toddler with me. He had a great time playing outside while I enjoyed one of their awesome craft beers!”

“I stopped in last week for my first time and was impressed with the atmosphere, great food and delivery . I could not get the fried salmon roll off of my mind so I came in again today . The same exact service - I’m highly impressed . Phillip the owner introduced himself I can tell he loves his staff and his restaurant by the way he speaks of it . If you’re looking for a quick bite or even an adult beverage and spending some time with your friends with good fun and a chill atmosphere . This is the spot 10/10 recommended”
“I enjoyed my visit at the restaurant. Our server Jordyne was amazing. Next time when I visit, I ask for her. Thanks again.”

“The food was delicious! We ate in on a late Saturday afternoon. We had the gyro bowl, the chicken schwarma bowl & the gyro fries. We all ate our fill. I picked up their Turkish Delight and it was indeed, a delight! I can’t wait to drive to Murfreesboro & eat here again!”

“From the moment we walked into Olive Garden in Murfreesboro this Good Friday, we knew the evening was going to be special, but we had no idea just how memorable it would become. What started as a simple family dinner quickly turned into an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time, and that is largely because of our incredible server, Shawna.
Shawna didn’t just serve our table, she genuinely cared for us. Her kindness felt natural and sincere, not rushed or routine, even in the middle of what was clearly a very busy evening. She took the time to walk us through the menu with thoughtful suggestions, helping us confidently choose dishes that ended up being absolutely perfect for our family. It wasn’t just about taking an order, it felt like she was helping us create a great experience.
What truly stood out was her attentiveness. Shawna seemed to anticipate our needs before we even realized them ourselves. Drinks were refreshed right on time, extra items appeared just when we needed them, and everything flowed so smoothly that we were able to fully relax and enjoy each other’s company. That kind of service is rare, especially on a night as busy as Good Friday.
And then came dessert, her recommendations were nothing short of incredible. Each one was better than the last, and it turned what could have been the end of a meal into one of the most enjoyable highlights of the night. We found ourselves lingering longer, savoring every bite and every moment.
Beyond Shawna, the entire team contributed to such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hostess staff greeted us with genuine friendliness that set the tone right away, and the manager and team worked together so seamlessly that it was honestly impressive to watch. Even from our table, you could feel the strong sense of teamwork and pride in what they do. The kitchen absolutely delivered as well, every dish was prepared beautifully and tasted fantastic.
Most importantly, this dinner was a birthday celebration for our family, and thanks to Shawna and the entire Olive Garden team, it became so much more than just a meal. It felt meaningful, joyful, and truly special, exactly the kind of experience you hope for but don’t always find.
We left feeling grateful, taken care of, and already hoping that the next time we visit, we’ll be lucky enough to have Shawna as our server again. Experiences like this are what keep people coming back, and we will absolutely be back.

“We had a reservation confirmed by email for 6:30 for nine people, but when we arrived we were told there was no reservation. After some confusion, tables were pushed together, which made seating very crowded. It was my wife's birthday, and unfortunately her salmon was undercooked and had to be remade. I appreciate that your staff did try to accommodate us and remake the meal, but the experience was disappointing given the occasion.”
“Date night was great. Cocktails, salads, pork, filet were all yummy. The dessert (chocolate cheesecake) was the one disappointment of the evening. Thanks for a great experience.”
“my husband and I went there this week and cannot wait to go back again. We just went for Boba tea. My husband had passionfruit tea with the passionfruit boba. I had mango milk tea with mango boba and they were both delicious. We can't wait to try another one.”

“Young guy from the Rutherford Store by the name “TaT” cooked my bacon extra crispy like I wanted and made my Texas toast sandwich hit the spot after my morning workout. Waitress was from Rutherford store filling in also and she was sweet. I struck up a convo with them and they about shat when I told them I was 46, they said I looked 32 so that made my day! Good young youth working and serving locally. Support our local businesses please if you can!!”
“Awesome experience for fast food lunch. Food was great. Manager, Edward saw that wife was wearing a Nirvana t-shirt and challenged her name a song, she did and gave her a free apple pie! Plus he was very friendly and personable. Excellent customer service all around including the cashier, Nevaeh! We’ll be back! Thanks.”
“Went through the drive thru. They got my order correct 💯! The young person working the window was kind. I needed lots of ketchup and they helped us. The food was good and the fries didn't taste bitter (the oil was changed) one of the best McDonald's I've ever been to. This was around midnight. I can't speak for other shifts but the night shift was awesome!”
“We are visiting from Rhode Island and went there for dinner with my daughter and son in law and my other daughter also visiting from Connecticut. We visited the restaurant on Sunday evening,the food was VERY GOOD and the service was even better,thanks Jason,you were the best and we will have memories forever . Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time going here, so we didn't know what to expect or even what to do. Our server Jared was wonderful! So patient, he explained everything clearly to us, he even brought over a special sauce that was very yummy! It was a pleasure speaking with him as well. And the young lady at the hostess station, Anna was so sweet as well!! We will definitely be coming back to see them both very soon.”
“I've been following Music City Tea on FB for a while now, hoping to make it there. Well today we did and it was such a great visit! We met Adam, and sat and taste tested a few teas with a wonderful lady who was new to Chinese teas. We were able to meet some great people and got some great deals on tea and teaware (a lot of stuff was 50% off normal pricing!) We were hoping to meet Jenny but maybe next time. Till then, I recommend this place to anyone who loves tea or Asian traditions. Stop by, have a few sips of tea and enjoy great company! 干杯!”

“Discovered this place in college years ago and try to always visit when I’m in town. Excellent food and very friendly employees who look like they enjoy what they are doing. Being there is definitely a cultural experience with the Korean TV and music playing along with instructions on the proper way to enjoy the food. Everyone needs to try it!”
“Crumbl you make wonderful cookies, but please tell me why you always run out of the top selling cookies, especially the Dubai ones, when you know they are the top sellers.. When you make the Dubai cookies put them with other top sellers not your least favorites, that way I won’t be so disappointed when you run out of them.”
“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.”
“My dad an I were here after a long day just needing something to fill us up and the food was so good 10 stars! The serves was awesome with nice employees and good costermer serves ! Loved this place”

“I truly enjoy this place. Great vibes and great people. I come here to read a lot because of the vibes. The coffee is truly amazing! Obviously if you add additional stuff it will come out more pricey but if not it’s fairly priced, compared to most places I’ve been. I believe it’s fairly priced. I do wish they offered something like a butter croissant , something simple. They don’t have many sugar free options but they can always make it half sweet for those who don’t want to much sugar.”
“Staff is always so friendly. The place is very inviting and relaxing. Food is fresh and delicious. Outdoor seating is surrounded by beautiful trees and open land. Fireplace for the cooler months. Great music playing, and great location to shopping. Bring the dogs out and enjoy a beautiful walk.”
“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.”

“This was our first time at Parthenon Grill, and it was our anniversary. I had my heart set on the filet mignon w/ sprinkles of blue cheese and didnt care what it cost as long as it was good and trust me, I wasn't disappointed! IT WAS FABULOUS! The Greek salad was wonderful and my husband really liked his NY steak. Our friends loved the Chicken Parmigiana and a dish of chicken stuffed with spinach, cheese and gray goose vodka sauce. The skewers of shrimp were to die for, as were the smashed potatoes. Our Son loved the rib eye and pasta!Thank you all so much for making the meal worth traveling from Vermont for. We will definitely be back. Just be a little careful with the corner of the tables, one was a little sharp and caused a abdominal bruise on my husband (no hes not a large man). Hopefully it will be rectified as we told the very nice waiter.”

“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.”
“Bless y’all’s hearts! We ordered up enough food to feed a small family reunion, ‘cause we’re chubby folks and ain’t ashamed of it. And every last bite was slap-yo-mama good. As a Maryland transplant pining for real Southern BBQ, I just wanna say: y’all made this homesick belly happy. My jeans are beggin’ for mercy, but my soul is satisfied.”
“WOW!!!!! Just Wow!! We were wanting the best burger in Murfreesboro so we found this spot. It did not disappoint!!! Bailey recommended we also get wings. These were the absolute BEST WINGS WE HAVE EVER HAD!!!!! There is no question that we will be back! Great service, amazing food and now open on Sundays.”
“Mike and Nikki make us come back to great food and even better service!”

“Regardless of what people say or project negative insecurities about Layali Dubai, the food and buffet is just that dam good . Thank you to the all staff at Laylai Dubai - The food is a breath of fresh food!”
“Amazing food, friendly and fast service. I have to give a shoutout to our waitress, Trinity. She was so attentive, and so sweet! When giving our bill, she wrote us a little note wishing us a good afternoon with a doodle. She paid attention and knew we liked horror, so she drew us some characters on the note! It made my night! Was our first visit, and we will definitely be back next time we come to Murfreesboro!”
“My wife and I go here every couple months during the week for a relaxing dinner. It's not too busy and the service and sushi are always exceptional. Each time we go we order 4 news rolls and have not been disappointed yet.”

She recommended a great drink to compliment my excellent dinner and was so kind and patient with my kiddos. I will only ever ask for her! She was a complete darling!

“A few days ago I had company from Wisconsin and we had breakfast at Hardee's in Murfreesboro and our waitress was Miranda. I'll never forget her. She was so wonderful to me and my out of state friends. So kind and considerate and smiling and happy. We will definitely be back with other people too.”

“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 went with a large church group on a Friday. Service was excellent. Drinks came quickly. The food bars had lots of choices. The best item was the fried fish, which was perfect. All other items I chose tasted bland-as if needing salt or more seasoning. Meatloaf was cold. Butter patties were ice cold, never to soften. Not sure if it was because the ladies’ restroom was near the kitchen, but the tile floor was so slick/greasy (not wet from water), I was afraid of slipping and falling.”

“Swung by Whataburger this morning to get some last minute grub before this massive snow/ice storm starts lol. Today is 1/24, Saturday morning at 5am. Anyways, placed my mobile order through the app for pickup in the drive-thru. A very nice man named Thomas came to the window and handed me my drinks. And told me that he just started everything fresh for my order, and asked me to pull up. I told him no worries, to take his time! He came out shortly later with my rather large order of food and thanked me for my patience and kindness. And I thanked him right back! Got home and checked my food, and everything was made to perfection. Everything was correct, fresh, and tasted amazing! All the sandwiches were labeled with stickers to let me know which sandwich was what. (Something they don't normally do when I go, even though they are supposed to.) Everything was wrapped up excellent. Ketchup and napkins in the bag. I don't normally take the time to leave reviews... but I was very pleased with my stop this morning, and ESPECIALLY wanted to give a shout-out to Thomas for being so nice and being great at his job! (Also I believe he was the only one working this morning at this location) He is definitely a one man show! Lol”

“Run to Cava on South Church St. in Murfreesboro to see KEYAJIA LAY! She was a pleasure to talk to while figuring out what I liked on my bowl. Normally my bowl feels empty and I don't feel satisfied bc I feel rushed but she took her time and I will say this is the best bowl I have had. I could not top her bc they do not take tips but this review I pray gives her notoriety for her exceptional customer service as well as a bonus or a raise. Some people may say it's just a bowl, but I literally did not want to waste my money on getting something that I didn't feel that would be fulfilling But the overall experience Was satisfying and will worth the money! Thank you, Miss Keyajia For making my night!”
“Food is really good Cinnabon tho not up to standard but it was ok
My second trip Stopped Saturday for $5.99 pizza special what a waste of money and time pizza. Take out was cold pepperoni over cooked like they made extra and put little cheese on heated up and sent me on my way. I buy other pizzas from 2 miles away and they too hot Schlotzski's special ice cold only drove a mile down the road. Never wasting my time again”

“Bought my mom a mini strawberry soft cream cake by delivery for her birthday. It was absolutely beautiful and she loved it and couldn’t stop taking pictures. The cake melts in your mouth, the cream compliments the fresh strawberries and is well balanced, considering we don’t like super sugary sweets. This was perfect! 👌🏾”
“Ordered food from here and especially with delivery wasn’t expecting it to wow us, but it did! Extremely reasonably priced- we got the pig Mack (now my husbands new favorite sandwhich-he’s barely impressed with any food) and I got the chili cheese dog and would highly recommend it. Can’t wait to try more off the menu!”
