    Great atmosphere
    Bob T.

    Today is Debbie's birthday so we stopped by Goodness Gracious Restaurant to celebrate. Debbie had the southwestern chicken casserole with a side salad, and I had the eggs benidect with hash browns and stuffed strawberries. This is a phenomenal restaurant with excellent food and service. Highly recommended!!

    We all had an amazing breakfast here. I got a breakfast special that was a chicken sandwich with sausage gravy that was amazing. The filled strawberries were so good. Would definitely come back!

    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. Ambiance is fine, nothing special, and a little boring. Will only be back if other people decide tobeat there.

    Fantastic lamb chops and eggs!

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

    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. It's a modern dining vibe but still somehow has the quaint atmosphere. 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. The bright, cheery atmosphere makes it the perfect place to linger over coffee and enjoy a relaxed meal. An all-around excellent brunch experience that I can't wait to repeat.

    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. 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. It feels like being in a mansion. They are playing light music. I will probably be returning.

    Delicious
    Steve A.

    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. I love being able to sit outside or enjoy breakfast/brunch at one of their cozy tables. The atmosphere is always a clean welcoming environment. Thanks for another great dining experience.

The fried chicken is cooked to order so I went with the white meat option (breast and wing) and I added a thigh. For sides I selected the pinto beans, cabbage, and sweet potatoes along with a fountain drink. You may have to wait 15 minutes for the chicken...but the chicken Adrian serves up would make your Granny jealous. This was some of the best fried chicken I've had in a very long time, crispy skin that was not overly seasoned and the meat was tender and juicy. While the chicken was excellent, the sides were saying "you ain't tasted nothing yet"!!! Pinto beans had a great depth to the flavor with a rich sauce and tender beans. The sweet potatoes were not overly sweetened (like candied) and you could taste the sweet potato, slightly firm, and reminded me of Thanksgiving. I saved the best for last...the cabbage. Many times cabbage offered is just boiled, but Adrian adds some secret ingredients and it is awesome. So while the meat was excellent, the sides are created in true Southern tradition. Several homemade desserts were available...but I was stuffed. The location may be difficult to get into with traffic, but the food that awaits you is well worth it. Pay Adrian a visit and enjoy some good old home cooking right here in Murfreesboro.

    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.

I got the BBQ pork platter and it was delicious, definitely the highlight of the night. The atmosphere was great too. They had live music going, which added a lot to the country vibe and made it a fun place to hang out. Service was okay, nothing bad, but I did have to ask for a refill once or twice. Overall, a good experience and I'd go back!

    There are restaurants designed by consultants. Someone studies demographics, invents a "concept,"…read morehangs a few Edison bulbs from the ceiling and charges you eighteen dollars for something your grandmother made better. Fried Tater Cafe is not that place. This is the kind of restaurant you hope to stumble across somewhere outside of town. An old building, a little history, straightforward Southern food and people who seem considerably more concerned with whether you ate enough than whether their plates are Instagram-ready. And then there are the fried taters. Crispy, salty, unapologetically fried potatoes--the sort of food that reminds you mankind occasionally gets things exactly right. Nobody needed to deconstruct them. Nobody needed to drizzle truffle oil over them. They needed hot grease, seasoning and somebody in the kitchen who knows when to pull them out. The rest of the food follows the same philosophy: familiar, filling and comforting. This isn't a place trying to reinvent Southern cooking. Thank God. It's trying to feed you. The old building and its history make the whole thing even better. You sit there eating fried potatoes and realize people have been passing through this little corner of Tennessee for generations. Places like this increasingly disappear, replaced by chains and developments that could be anywhere in America. Fried Tater Cafe still feels like somewhere. Come hungry. Order the taters. Don't count calories. You'll survive. Five stars.

    Date of Visit: July 2, 2026…read more On this afternoon my wife wanted to take me on a country drive after an overwhelming day in Murfreesboro the day before. Murfreesboro used be an easy navigable town, not no more, so many people. So off we went. Heading out towards Chapel Hill we came up the Fried Tater Cafe. After yesterday (if your following) I needed something authentic to the area and this looked the part. We both agreed to stop. Walked inside and I knew right away this going to be great. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere. Nice. Found a booth against the wall and were given menus and drink orders taken. Drinks came while still viewing the menu. I almost wanted a burger but chose the patty melt with coleslaw. I was going to have fries but they have those Checkers type fries. My wife had the BLT with Tots and after having a couple of her tots I should of had the tots. My wife even agrees, these are the best tots she has ever had and she has tots when ever offered. These had the crispy outside that you can bite into without crushing and fluffy innerds mmmmm. But getting back to my patty melt. The menu said it came with thousand island dressing. I would usually hold the TI, but now I'm in a phase where I order with no substitutions. So I took it with the Thousand island. And so glad I did, it did something to it. Don't know if everyone does this but wow. And the slaw was good too, though I wish I had gotten the tots, next time tots. The wife and I will be back here next time in town for sure, if just for the drive. Peace.

    Fried Tater Cafe - It taste burnt (or like old oil) and had a spoiled meat odor.  They are fried in Beef Tallow = beef drippings.  No refund and rude!
