    The service here is just not good. I went during a very busy time and I was more understanding, but then I had to go back a day later when it wasn't busy at all and it was still slow. To order took a long time, our check we ask for multiple times, and our waitress was nowhere to be found. The food is just okay. For a brunch place in Murfreesboro it's better than some, but lacks flavor. The portion size is good, but the quality is low. If you want to eat stuff from Cysco this is your place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is fine, nothing special, and a little boring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will only be back if other people decide tobeat there.

    Fantastic lamb chops and eggs!

    Breakfast is always special here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great options, fast, friendly service, a warm environment, and most importantly... delicious food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Fun casual breakfast/brunch/lunch spot with plenty of options! All menus were available to order from and specials as well. It definitely was popular time at 11am Saturday and we had an hour wait. They took our name and phone number and said they would call. Outside tables and chairs on the patio were open as they weren't running service outside so we enjoyed chatting while we waited. We checked back at the 1 hour mark and hostess said there was a table available and seated us then. Waitress was friendly and knowledgeable as we asked several questions about the menu, and she made sure she had our order and brought drinks quickly. Waited for food 20 minutes or so and it was delicious. Very generous portion and the included sides were practically meals themselves. Great value for the price and enjoyed ourselves. Would come back if we were local and try during the week.

    The food was delicious. The workers were very kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom has a real baby changer, not the ones that fold into the wall, hand soap and lotion, the stall was kind of dark.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It feels like being in a mansion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are playing light music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will probably be returning.

    It isn't our first time but we really enjoyed our visit. Our server was attentive and super cheerful and nice. The food of course is as good as everyone says! Each time we go we try to add a new item we haven't tried and haven't been disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a modern dining vibe but still somehow has the quaint atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Please beat the rush because it's always busy and normal a line to get in. And if you can make and get a table you'll be glad you got to eat. We'll be going back soon.

    Very small wait to be seated, but he food was phenomenal. Definitely get the blueberry lavender lemonade or the pomegranate lemonade. Brunch was definitely on point, 0 complaints.

    Goodness Gracious is a fantastic spot for breakfast and brunch! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The menu is packed with creative, gourmet options--and I was especially impressed by the variety of gluten-free choices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bright, cheery atmosphere makes it the perfect place to linger over coffee and enjoy a relaxed meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] An all-around excellent brunch experience that I can't wait to repeat.

    Delicious

    The food is always amazing. Tried the Nashville hot chicken waffle today for the 1st time. Amazing! The staff is so helpful. Even remembering my wife's name. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love being able to sit outside or enjoy breakfast/brunch at one of their cozy tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is always a clean welcoming environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks for another great dining experience.

    Delicious food and you get SO much!! I got the short rib hash brown bowl and it was fantastic. Although I think they used brisket instead of short rib because the meat was thinly sliced and dry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our sever was awesome and the atmosphere was laid back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll definitely be coming back, I'm excited to try other dishes on the menu.

    The Traditional Benedict
    Scott O.

    The food was good. It was not bad, but it was not very noteworthy either so I gave it a 4 out of 5 which may be generous for what I had. The service was great and the owner came by several times asking how we were doing. Everyone was very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was great for a place to eat brunch. Not too overly fancy but still classy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    On Yelp!'s recommendation for an "anniversary dinner," we placed a reservation at Steakhouse Five…read moreand enjoyed ourselves. The very quiet dining room allows conversation at a reasonable volume and the lighting is low with a lamp on the table to read the menu without shining your cellphone flashlight in everyone's eyes. All the food was great and prepared exactly as we requested. The steaks were flavorful, tender, and well prepared. Our server was helpful and very attentive. They recognized our anniversary during the dessert course. For us, it was a special treat. Tip: The food and experience are top-notch and the price reflects the situation. Your tab will approach $100 per person. Place a reservation Enjoy yourself.

    I found this gem by total mistake. It is a little hidden in the back (or side?) of the shopping…read morecenter. It does not look like much from the outside but it's really nice and cozy. We were there celebrating our anniversary and they didn't disappoint. Everyone was very attentive from the moment we walked it. Our server gave us the best recommendations, they were all fantastic & delicious. They have a really good wine selection and the cocktails are made with love. We did the "date night" deal and it really saves you money other than they have several options to pick and gives you the ability to try several of their best plates. Definitely going back.

    I asked a few friends and locals of Murfreesboro where to go for dinner in the area…read more Four different people ALL menioned The Alley on Main, so I HAD to try it for my dinner date! They did NOT disappoint!! I am officially hooked! From the moment we walked in, I could see and feel the sheer energy coming from the crowd and the ambiance: it already felt like great food and great people. It was packed to the brim for Wine Wednesday! They had one table available for two! Our server, Sarah, was outstanding!! She was sweeter than pie and extremely attentive! She always made sure we had exactly what we wanted when we wanted it. She advised sharing a bottle of wine since we wanted the same one, and since it was half price most wines. The young manager on duty delivered and uncorked the bottle, and she was just as sweet as Sarah! Her name escapes me, but I will find out the next time I go. The Spanish Tempranillo we tried was divine! It was perfectly balanced without being too dry or too tannic or too sweet. It was so smooth and thoroughly enjoyable to drink! For food, we started with the goat cheese bruschetta. It was perfection - rich in flavor and well balanced in the distribution of each component! From there, we tried the special of Steak Tips Au Pauvre - with a peppercorn wine sauce. We chose brussels sprouts as our side, and it also came with a side salad. We weren't too hungry, so we split it. Sarah even had the kitchen split both the salad and the main dish in half for us! The salad was so fresh (with ripe grape tomatoes!!) and the ranch dressing was classic and delightful. The wine sauce was everything I wanted it to be: rich, complex, thick, and buttery. It reminded me of the beautiful sauces you find on a steak or chicken dish at a sidewalk cafe in Paris. The dessert menu looked amazing, but we didn't have any room left. All I can say is you MUST try this place!!! If you can find Sarah, even better!

    We were told 35 min wait but that turned into five minutes! Excellent!…read moreEli was an incredible, knowledgeable server! Very personable! The ambience was cool! A little eclectic vibe. Comfortable w a low noise level. We started with noise salads which were very small. The dressings were very good. My wife and I both had the beef tips special (mine medium rare, hers medium well) - the meat was tough and chewy on both. She had the garlic mashed potatoes and they were excellent! I had the broccoli and it was perfectly cooked and served still hot! All in all a great first experience - made that way because of Eli our server! Thanks for a good meal and great service!

    Date of Visit: July 1, 2026…read more After driving all day the previous day we were wanting a real good county breakfast. My wife told me she had just the place in mind and I've been there before too (City Cafe). But when we arrived we saw they were permanently closed, dang. I could taste it. Then the wife recommended Puckett's and they are just around the the corner, a short walk. As we walked up on the place I noticed the marque, retro. The inside was bit as well. We were quickly seated and drink orders taken. This was a weekday morning visit so not too busy. Looking over the menu, I may not have looked close enough, I decided on the "Build your own Omelette". Onions, tomatoes and pepper jack cheese. The wife ordered the B&G. I noticed I wasn't asked about my side? I wounded potatoes. Also rye bread with my omelette, hmmm. Our food arrived, all looked good. I saw my order came with what looked like frozen type of potatoes, perfect squares. I was expecting something home cooked, fried potatoes with burnt edges. Flavor. The wife's B&G looked great, two basques and potatoes as well. The omelette was good, plenty of everything and filled. The wife said here B&G was really good and she's a B&G expert. Over all, all was good just disappointed with the potatoes option and no rye toast. Perhaps they could consider fresh cut potatoes along with the frozen type. Also maybe offer some type of toast. Give the place try if your on the square. Peace.
