    Simply exquisite bread.. Excellent service, superb pepper grinding skills, incredible beans and rice, "The Soup" - lives up to it's name.. Brought us back to our childhoods, homemade buns were fantastic, I'll be returning very soon hungry for more.. Cambell was our waitress and was friendly and professional, handled a mistaken order from our party with class and kindness!

    We came here while visiting family during our first visit to TN. Here is my breakdown. Food: 2.5-3/5 The food here, in my opinion, was just ok. I ordered the lasagna, my wife ordered the spaghetti, my brother in-law ordered the steak. My lasagna was ok, but my brother in-law ordered medium-rare but the steak came out very rare. My boys usually devour chicken fettuccine, but they did not each very much of it tonight. Price: 5/5 The price may have been average for the area, but this was the first restaurant we went to since arriving in TN from CA. So, from what I'm used to at home, the prices here were excellent! I'm used to seeing $22-28 per pasta dish at home. Here, the average price was $15 a dish. Some things cheaper or more depending on the meat. Customer Service: 5/5 The customer service was excellent. The servers were extremely attentive and friendly. The food arrived quick. We were extremely happy with the customer service. Ambiance: 4/5 The ambiance was nice. The restaurant is pretty big and each room has a slightly different vibe. We were here with several extended family members and it was good for an outing like that. Demo's is a good place to go if you are looking for a lively place to go with friends or family for well priced, average food.

    First time visitors to this place and it was great. We were a large party and were promptly seated when we arrived. The staff was attentive and friendly. The menu has a good selection ranging from pasta dishes, to seafood, chicken and a couple other categories. Their biscuits are perfectly flavored and fluffy and the cheese bread with marinara was delicious! Portions are good, not too much food but for most of us we brought home left overs. The chicken and rice soup was a perfect start to the meal too!

    This restaurant was highly recommended by a local business owner so my expectations were pretty high given the rave reviews. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted.... by everyone. Very refreshing! We were immediately seated. The waitress, Keira came by very quickly to take our order. She made some recommendations which I love! Super friendly. My mom and I tried the spinach, rib eye steak, sirloin. We had side salads, baked potato and pasta. Ohhhh, the bread..... yikes! So delicious!! The spinach had boiled egg pieces in it. A little strange but it worked. My mom's steak was cooked perfectly. I asked for my ribeye to be cooked medium rare. Well, it was almost mooing, so regretfully I had to ask to have it cooked a little bit longer. Not a big deal and they were extremely nice about it. They even brought out another serving of spinach. All in all, this was pure comfort food at an excellent price for2 steak dinners and all the extras. The most impressive thing was the consistent, excellent service by everyone. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in town. Good food can be found just about anywhere, great customer service is priceless!

    Whenever I get a chance to visit middle Tennessee, my friend and I always make it a point to try to make at least one visit to Demos to remember how delicious their baked chicken soup is, experience, the unbelievably friendly and courteous service and be welcomed by one restaurant, but really knows how to make you feel like part of the family. Family run, this restaurant is legendary and their ability to take basic simple recipes like burgers, steaks and pasta and elevate them just enough to make them into a special family experience. The restaurant has always been welcoming and cozy with a sense that it's like coming home to an aunt that saved you a place at her dining room table. Love the pot roast, the ribeye steak sandwich, and we usually take home a gallon of the baked chicken soup to enjoy at home over the next few days. It is one place that I always remember from every trip to Murphysboro and stands out from all the rest. restaurant capacity and parking can handle at least 200 people.

    I like Demo's and the food is usually good. My kids like to go there and so do my friends and family. The prices are good and has a nice atmosphere. Not too loud and on occasion that wait isn't long or bad. 3.5 stars though for service. For me it's been a real hit or miss with the service. It's either they're great and/ or sociable but on other times it's just lack luster for the service. I guess you just have to get the right person on the right day. I hope my next trip back we have someone who wants to be our server. I still tipped 20% because the food was good and came out in a timely manner.

    Cheesy bread and rolls

    Okay first off, let's settle the debate of pronunciation. Because the possessive apostrophe is after the S (Demos') and not before the S (Demo's), it is pronounced like DEE-MUSS-ES. If the possessive apostrophe were removed it would still be spelled Demos ( DEE-MUSS), but because there's an apostrophe you add the extra ES sound at the end. ANYWAYS... This is one fantastic Italian family eatery! Their signature rice soup is very very good, their blackened chicken pasta is devine, and their cheesy bread is oh so good. The cheesy bread we got as an appetizer, but all food comes with rolls as a starter on the house which are even better in my opinion! I took my girlfriend here on a date and was not disappointed. Prices were fair and their portions were generous. Our service was good, and the vibe was cozy. An overall great place to eat!

    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.

    The food is just as I remember Buona from Chicago. The hot dog was delicious and the beef was…read moretender and full of flavor. Very helpful staff who were eager to provide a comfortable, positive experience. The dining room was comfortable, clean and constantly maintained. If you are looking for some of the Chicago taste try them out.
