    The inside; I forgot to take a picture of my food, before I ate

    I ordered a regular cheeseburger and fries and it was just what I needed. Fresh and good. I was acknowledged while standing at the counter, waiting to be served. A young lady advised me that someone would be right there to assist me. I'm satisfied with the food and the service and will be back

    Across from the WalMart on Rutherford, this location is in an area that sees heavy traffic during weekdays and when MTSU is in session. The restaurant is easy to see, just turn in when you see Starbucks or Cook Out if you are coming from the south. The burgers really do taste like you went to a friends house and had a burger that they cooked on their grill. Not fancy but satisfying. The slaw is straight out of a famous fried chicken chain that is know for a founder that likes wearing white suits. The beans are better left behind the counter as they were very salty. I can get behind the shakes, though. The flavor selection is large and my peanut butter shake was rich and creamy and tasted like they put real peanut butter in it, which I'm hoping they did! Overall, a decent place for a casual meal. Just stay away from those beans!

    Got this Corndog today from Cook Out Burgers. Definitely don't recommend. Wow!

    Got this Corn Dog from here today. Quality control is not up to par. Definitely don't recommend. Wow!

    What a joke

    First time at this restaurant chain. We got the food to go. The only reason why I'm not giving this restaurant one star is because my daughter liked her pulled pork. The burger patties were super small and over cooked. The fries were under-seasoned and the hush puppies were tasteless. We won't be back.

    Great price for cheap cafeteria style burgers and fries! Whenever I'm in town, I must stop here! While I was pregnant I would sometimes eat here twice during my stay in Murfreesboro. The burgers are good, always cooked made to order, very fresh, hot, and tasty. I love the cheese fries here. Crinkle fries with actual cheese sauce. None of that sprinkle shredded cheese. The fast food joint itself is very clean inside. I would highly recommend stopping here.

    Opening night of a new restaurant. How glamorous! Really though, the place is fairly good, especially considering the price. The selections are what one might call standard American "summertime" fare; burgers, hotdogs, assorted chicken items, and pulled bbq plates. They have a pretty impressive milkshake list as well. The restaurant bills itself as "cooked outdoors style", and I'd have to agree based on what I tried. My burger tasted like something that would game off a grill at a park, or perhaps from the concession shack of a little league game. The veggies on the burger were of higher quality than I expected for the price. There are quite a few side items to choose from, and you're able to pick two for a combo. I also opted for a shake, and it was definitely better than most shakes from fast food joints. The prices are very low as well; with most of the sandwich items being a couple bucks and nearly all of the sides only costing 99 cents. Their combos are slightly over 4 dollars. All in all, it seems a decent alternative to typical nationwide burger chains, especially if you're wanting to spend very little. Opening up right next to several student apartment complexes was probably a brilliant decision on their part, as this is exactly the sort of place I would have loved to have next door during my broke college days.

It said to park infront of the curbside pickup but it's always full so I park right by it because there is only two of them. The first time I waited 30 minutes after it was supposed to be ready . I was even asked are you here for a pickup I said yes still waited they gave me my mixers i went on my way. Mind you I saw about 10 cars go thru the drive thru place orders and still get there stuff before I get mine. So I wrote it off as a honest mistake . Tonight I arrived when it said it would be ready once again the spots were full . So I parked next to them and waited over 20 minutes. THIS TIME ANOTHER 10 people get there stuff before me by pulling up ordering and waiting . mutiple people brought food out looked at me sitting there didn't even check to see if I was there for a pickup or anything I even tried to get someone's attention. IT EVEN SAIS ON MY RECEIPT THE EXACT MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. Like come on I had to move my car over to the curbside pickup after the spots were finally empty to even get them to bring it out then they bring me these melted mixers after over 20 minutes . Do you think they even checked it to see if they were melted or the quality of them no they did not !!

    Yummyyyyyy! We drove…read moreup to Murfreesboro to check out a visiting art exhibit at MTSU. We wanted to try something that we couldn't find in our home city of Huntsville, and we settled on Buona. I'm very glad we did! This restaurant still looks relatively new and is set up in a seemingly developing part of town. There was ample parking and the inside was bright, clean, and spacious. On one side of the restaurant is a separate concept that serves ice cream and desserts. I think this concept is related to Buona/owned by the same folks but I'm not sure. It looked and smelled good though! Anyway, this is an order at the counter type of restaurant, though your meal is delivered to your table. They also have kiosks available if you're feeling asocial, though the placement of these is somewhat incongruous and causes some gridlock if there's a line to order. We decided to order at the counter to make sure our requests could be accommodated. The woman who took our orders listened carefully and took thorough care to ensure things were to our liking and our questions were answered. Our order was correct when it was delivered shortly afterwards. My parents split a medium Italian beef combo with added cheese and sweet peppers as well as a chili dog, and for myself I also ordered a medium Italian beef combo. I got mine with hot giardiniera and cheese, though. Combos come with a side of crinkle cut fries and a drink. I was very pleased to see they have not only Pepsi products, but Pepsi Zero Sugar, which I find preferable to Diet Pepsi. Win! Everything was delicious. The beef was meltingly tender and savory and the giardiniera was tangy and crisp (though I wouldn't have said no to just a teeny bit spicier, hehe - though don't get me wrong, it did have a discernible kick). I got mine with light gravy but you could still taste the umami of the au jus. My own complaint is I wish I could've gotten a dipping cup on the side; perhaps it's possible but I didn't see it on the menu and it wasn't offered. Maybe I should've asked. I like to dip as opposed to dunk to preserve the sandwich's non-sogginess. I digress though, it was a fabulous sandwich. I haven't tried a ton of Italian beefs in my life so far, but this was my favorite. I also usually don't love crinkle fries (or they're certainly not my preferred cut), but as far as crinkle fries go, these were hot, fresh, and fried and seasoned perfectly. It was a generous portion too. My parents also loved their sandwich and said the chili dog was tasty too. The restaurant (including the restroom) was very clean, service was polite and efficient, and the food was delicious. Truly my only tiny complaint is the lack of an au jus dipping cup. I later learned this is actually a franchise that's slowly spreading to the south. That being the case, I am very hopeful that they'll turn their eyes to Huntsville for expansion. I find it somewhat rare for large operations such as this one to produce such an extremely high quality product and experience, but Buona delivered. I look forward to visiting other locations in the future.
