    Chickichanga, missing the sauce though.
    Darien C.

    Highly recommend First Watch if you're looking for a breakfast spot in the 'Boro! My family and I tried it for our first time today and we were all impressed. Make sure you arrive early because they get busy! We had a 30 minute wait for a party of 4 around 10am. Next time we'll make sure to come earlier and hopefully beat the crowd. We all had good things to say about the food though. Our party shared the bacon and cheese cornbread. SOOO delicious! Very light and airy with just the right amount of bacon and cheese. I got the classic eggs Benedict and a side of biscuits and gravy, my husband ordered the Chickichanga. Both of us liked our dishes! I will say that the hollandaise sauce on mine was a bit too lemony though. But I did really like the biscuit and gravy. The potatoes I got with my main dish were nice and crispy too. Our waitress may have been spread thin with how busy they were but she did take a bit to come around initially to take our order. They also completely missed the sauce for my husband's Chickichanga dish and our waitress was nowhere to be found for quite some time so we had to flag down a different waitress for assistance. Then when it came time to get the check we waited for a bit. But again, they were busy since it was a weekend morning so that was likely the cause. Hopefully next time it won't be as bad. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu items!

    The last two times I've been there I've had the Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash and you can't go wrong with it. Best item on the menu in my opinion. The food comes out hot and the service is quick. Great place to get breakfast.

    We tried the new First Watch here on the south side of Murfreesboro and it was an enjoyable experience. The food was wonderful, fresh, hot, and delicious. When we arrived there was a wait, estimated at twenty minutes. We were seated in about ten minutes. Under-promise and over-deliver is a practice I like. The water arrived almost immediately and our order was taken as soon as we were ready. Very comfortable dining room with nice soft lighting and appropriate decor.

    1/2 Sweet Honey Pecan chicken salad with Vegetable soup
    James H. L.

    Great portions and really excellent tasting menu throughout. Open early at 7am through 2:30pm daily. Amazing salads with lots of protein. Many vegetarian options available. The perfect place to grab a breakfast or brunch/lunch and always a friendly and accommodating atmosphere. If in a hurry, they support at-table checkout.

    I definitely recommend first watch because they are consistently okay there's nothing great about it unfortunately It's just somewhere good to go Just good I'm not saying that the service isn't great The issue for me is the food is never consistently good and it's never been great but my friends love the place so I'm there frequently. Unfortunately for me I always want to get potatoes and the potatoes are never cooked through they are always starchy and hard in the middle, The other issue is they cannot for the life of them figure out how to make a soft scrambled egg It's always a clump of dry egg there's nothing moist about it. I will say however the place is always clean and the restrooms are always usable and I appreciate that. The ambiance is usually chaotic and I wish they would see people with children in one area like they used to see smokers in one area and non-smokers in one area because as a person and a group of people without children it's absolutely unnecessary for us to be seated so closely to children every single time I would suggest you move families to one space and non-families to another space hoping that there's equal space for both sides So everyone can enjoy their meals. People who choose to bring their children to brunch should be able to enjoy as much as those of us who do not bring children to brunch because we want mimosas.

    This is my first visit to a First Watch. Very busy and lively ambiance. I ordered the Traditional Breakfast, and a carrot cake pecan pancake. Warm syrup!! Wow. Overall, the food was fantastic. I can really appreciate being waitlisted on the app too. Definitely a hit and I will be back.

    I love First Watch and even more excited this one is open!!!! It's right around the corner from us and we couldn't be more elated!!! The food was delicious!! I got the Farmhouse Hash and the Million Dollar Bacon (my usual order) and this was probably the best it's ever tasted in all of the locations I've ever been to! I am not kidding! The flavor was rich and seasoned to perfection! I got full a lot quicker than usual! Our server Renee was the sweetest! I will be a frequent consumer here for sure!!

    Had lunch there one time. Food was not exceptionally tasty, portions small, and prices exorbitant. Don't go there. Change everything.

    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!

    Bad Daddy's in Murfreesboro delivers exactly what the name promises--bold burgers, loud flavors,…read moreand a menu that's not here to play it safe. Whether you're building your own burger Frankenstein-style or diving into one of their signature stacks, you're getting a serious meal. The vibe is laid-back and loud in all the right ways. It's the kind of place where you can bring the family, catch the game, or just cure a craving with fries you'll definitely regret sharing. The staff keeps it moving without rushing you, and the bar's got a surprisingly strong selection of local and regional beer. Come hungry, leave full, maybe question your life choices--but in the best way. It's a burger joint with attitude, and Murfreesboro's better for it.

    Oversalted food! The burger patty was overcooked, salty, and…read morecrumbly instead of served as a medium well. I got the buttermilk bacon for my burger and it should only be served as a side or appetizer. The half slice of bacon is breaded so it is over an inch thick and there were 4 pieces on the patty. There is no way this could fit in a normal sized mouth if you add any lettuce or other condiments. I asked for Brie and got one 1" slice. Definitely not what I expected for a $3 up charge. The sweet potato fries were inedible due to the salt they were doused with. I will, however, recommend the house fried chips with onion dip and it was a shame to have to leave it since there was so much of it. It probably would be great in place of mayo on a burger. I also observed 5-6 people wandering in and out of the back that weren't wearing uniforms but seemed to know everyone as they stood around chatting. Why??? Not very professional for food service. One young man in particular kept running his hand thru his long hair as he stood near the staff area for drinks and the pass. Ugh! There was also another guy with hair down to his waist that was pulled back but man!, that ponytail was swinging loose everywhere from the kitchen to the bar. Again, ugh! Neither of those would I want near where my food was being prepared. The menu is a fun looking and eclectic mess but we won't be back. I prefer a food be under-salted as one can always add more if needed and the hair completely turned me off.
