Stepping back into Dovie's after all these years felt like walking straight into a warm, delicious…read morememory. The little white building on 4th Street still wears its vintage RC Cola sign like a badge of honor, and the moment you push open the door, that familiar sizzle of burgers hitting the oil hits you like a hug from your childhood. We slid onto the stools at the old horseshoe counter, the same one I remember from when I was a kid, and watched the magic happen right in front of us. Patties kissed with bread for that impossibly soft center, fried in the shallow oil until the edges turned perfectly crisp and golden. My cheeseburger arrived "unsquoze," glistening and glorious, layered with that signature tangy sauce, crisp pickles, and onions that somehow make everything sing. One bite and I was twelve years old again--only this time I got to share it with my own family. The new owners have kept every bit of what made Dovie's legendary. Same perfect burgers. Same simple, soulful menu. Same feeling that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. My kids devoured theirs with the same wide-eyed joy I used to have, and we left with full hearts and fingers still a little greasy in the best possible way. Dovie's isn't just a burger joint. It's a living piece of Tompkinsville history that still tastes like home. If you've never been, go. If you grew up on these burgers, go back. It's every bit as wonderful as you remember.

Her implication on my ability of how I parent was un called for and extremly rude. Food was average nothing spectacular but at a fair price.Only two waitress running a full house and they were friendly and efficient to the best of thier abilities. Me and the kids were having a decent time but after this experience with the owner My hard earned money will be going else where.

The sides were also winners with a great refreshing potato salad, and fried okra and ranch that was so tasty! Amazing, friendly service (thanks, Chloe!), all staff were quick to refill my drink and check in to see if I needed anything. Great ambiance inside the restaurant and outside with the patio seating. Highly recommend if you're in the area or nearby to come on by!

They have an upstairs and a third floor room in addition to the first floor. Great for the kids at a large 2nd floor table to control the children.

Can't believe for the first time ever I didn't give my favorite place in Lebanon 5 stars. Food was…read moregreat as always. You can't go wrong with the chicken bites and fries here. My wife had her usual chicken sandwich and enjoyed it. The Orange Pilsner was not the same tonight. A bit disappointing, but I will still frequent this place as it is still our favorite!

I usually get the Trabue, but this time I skipped the cheese and added fresh jalapeños. So good. My only complaint is I wish they had tater tots as a side instead of just crinkle fries. I was also happy to see they had Xul's PB&J Mixed Tape beer on tap. The bathrooms were clean, parking around the square was easy and free, and there are a bunch of other spots nearby like ice cream shops, bars, and line dancing. Definitely worth checking out.

The fries are pretty good, but the fry sauce is amazing! The atmosphere is a bar, nothing special. It's a good vibe, but nothing crazy. The service really depends on who is serving you. We've had both good and bad service, if it's bad - try again. 8/10

Bad Daddy's is hands down my favorite restaurant in Murfreesboro. Even though it's known for…read moreburgers, I almost always order Emilio's Chicken, and it's honestly my favorite item on the menu. If you're someone who doesn't always want a burger at a burger restaurant, it's definitely worth trying. Another menu item that surprised me was the deviled eggs. They're a unique twist on a classic appetizer and not something you see at most restaurants. The food is consistently good, the menu has a lot of variety, and it's one of the few places I keep coming back to without getting tired of it. Every time someone asks me for a restaurant recommendation in Murfreesboro, Bad Daddy's is at the top of my list.

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.
