    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.

My go-to drink is the Dirty Hippie--it never disappoints. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It is on the pricier side, but the portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. Parking can be tricky but we always get lucky and find something around the square.

The ambiance…read moreis great but the tables and chairs could use some repair as every table we tried wobbled a lot. I did not take pictures of the inside as it is a very busy weekend here. First complaint is there is no guidance for people who are from out of town on how to order or where to go. I have been watching the out of town parents confused as well trying to figure this place out! The iPads set up to order are not sales leading or helpful. When we picked up our coffees is when we FOUND the full menus to read (AFTER we ordered). Not only did they lose sales but we did not see any meat options to add to our order! The lattes tried were a make your own and are better than Starbucks. I had the regular with sweetener (had to ask for a little more sweetener as you can not choose more than one of the same item) and prefer a light to no foam but it is not an option. The second option was the golden girl with honey and cinnamon. Good but different. The first food was the Susie Basic ($11 +$0.50 for strawberries) the crepe that is too thick for a traditional crepe, did not come filled with the strawberries or anything else it was just folded into quarters and topped with the equivalent of 4/5 whole strawberries and whipped cream on the side. The second food item was the French toasted waffle pancake ($15) this is a great concept but it was under cooked and doughy but more than enough food for a meal. It would have been better with a breakfast meat included! Over all the rating is a 3 because of service, the confusion, and the immediately asking for a tip when you order not knowing you really get no service before or after you get food! Even water is a self serve dispenser! It's a great place, different concept in food service. It wants fast food as far service but set up to be table service. After our food arrived we were directed to the silverware and napkins. No one checks on food quality or needs after you are served your food!

    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.

    8/10, Good food, good vibe, okay service…read more Tried Puckett's BBQ and overall had a really solid experience. 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!
