If your looking for southern comfort food- food to feed your soul, eat at Jeff's. The portions are large and the food is sooooooo good everytime! Took my son today while he's out of school and he just loved it! He kept thanking me for showing him this place. This time we took it togo but when you're there it's like lifting weight just carrying a meat and 2. The staff has always been helpful and wonderful, so friendly it's really like eating at grandmas house! Don't sleep on Jeff's. Thank me later!!! ****we had another plate but my son ate it before o could even take pictures. read more

Amazing OG spot here in the Boro for delicious meat-n-three cooked homestyle. Folks here couldn't have been any nicer and more welcoming to us when we walked in for our first time. Food all tasted fresh, well seasoned, and made with care. We were stunned by the portions and were definitely full when we left. (May have even needed an afternoon nap!) Thanks to the folks @ Jeff's! We will be back soon! read more

I was really looking forward to a good meal and veggies meal. I had read good things about the place. I loved the cafeteria style way to order food but the food was hard to see as the window glass was dull. The server went over the selections for me because I told her it was my first visit. The desserts were hard to see on top on the counter. The prices have gone up from the last menu I saw on line as well. We got our food and drink and seated ourselves and as we took a bite discovered that all our food was lukewarm at best. Very disappointed in that. It tasted good but we sure wished it was hot. This visit did not leave a good impression and we probably won't come back read more

Loved it here! You pretty much walk in and grab yourself a tray. It's cafeteria style so just let them know what you want and sit down to enjoy your yummy meal. I tried the fried chicken and I felt that it was cooked perfectly. It wasn't over fried or undercooked. The seasoning was also perfect. My other favorite thing I tried was the flapjack cornbread. I loved it sooooo much. I tried the hot water cornbread too. That one was good too, but I loved the flapjack one more. Their Mac n cheese was also pretty yummy. It was definitely not dry. Loved that! Their mashed potatoes and gravy were also made perfectly .8 really had no complaints about the food here. Will definitely be back. read more

Jeff's is a Murfreesboro favorite. Great food, great selection and great service. All of the entrees are excellent and I love their cornbread read more

I had a great meal at Jeff's! If "Meat & 3's" are your style, Jeff's is a must go in the Boro area. The cafeteria style made it difficult to choose, because they have so many great options, and the service was on the spot. It's a great hometown restaurant that will not leave you lacking. read more

Still a premier meat and three. Really recommend the chicken and dressing. Great cornbread dressing. And yes it still has the down home feel where you seat yourself but still get plenty of attention. read more

Jeff and his family has set the bar high for my first meat and three. So good. Authentic. Comfort food in every way. Jeff and his team were friendly and coached me through how to order. If you're on the mid for some excellent homestyle southern cooking where you feel at home, this is the place read more

The food is very good and hot! Service is buffet style but if you need something special they will accommodate. When Yankees come down and visit I always take them to Jeff's hopefully they'll experience something a little different from what they're used to up north. read more

Had an amazing visit to Jeff's for lunch the other day! Tried the Chicken & Dressing with cabbage and sweet potatoes- FIRE!! Everything was seasoned to perfection and left me thinking about grandma's house! read more

Good food is all over Murfreesboro, but only great food is cooked with love. When you enter Jeff's you will be greeted with pure affection and it shows in the food that they create. If you are looking for soul food, cooked from the heart, then go to Jeff's. Every bite is backed by that "Mmmm, mmm" feeling deep in your body. The is truly family food made for the whole family! read more

Great food and great service! I would highly suggest this hidden gem if you're looking for authentically yummy southern favorites. From chicken to meatloaf, from brisket to liver & onions, they have it all! Come try this place and you won't be sorry!! read more

By far the best breakfast place in town if you want good down home cooking and fantastic coffee that's the place to be!

The food is as home cooked as I've ever had in a family restaurant. The fried chicken was as good as my grandmothers. We tried beef knuckles and the meat was so tender you could cut it with a fork! To end the meal I took home a slice of caramel cake- 4 layers and it was delicious. read more

Love this place! Definitely worth the drive from Nashville. The staff is always very nice and they work hard to make their huge menu everyday. Some of my favorites are the Cajun catfish, hashbrown casserole, and chess pie! Also, they are open on Sunday! read more

This place went down hill from 8 years ago,,food not like it was to me they have cut corners from the ribs to the home made cake,8 years ago I took a party of 14 and everyone has great delight eating there went just 3months ago and what'a different I really don't recommend this place until they do better. read more

I can count on getting a square deal at Jeff's; plentiful portions, comfortable surroundings, just good, good comfort food at a decent price. The menu changes daily with set sides accompanied by changing daily specials. Actually, since I've moved out of town, Jeff's has been on my mind and I'm thinking it's about time for a visit the next time I'm in the Boro! read more

Went to Jeff's restaurant for a reasonably priced meat and 2 lunch. Got their country fried steak. With iced tea, the bill was $19.21! I made a comment that I couldn't believe the bill was that high & the line server became extremely rude and racist, even saying "do you think you can come to the hood and get a deal?". Then disrespectfully mumbling. Ruined my lunch before I even started. The country fried steak was almost completely inedible due to toughness. At least, fortunately, the lady serving the tables was very pleasant. This place has priced themselves out of the market. read more

Tried this place out to go today and was really disappointed in the food. I got the fried chicken with mash potatoes, greens and my husband got the chicken fried steak with mac&cheese and green beans. The mashed potatoes were waters, no gravy on top, the chicken had zero flavor aa if it no seasoning at all. The best part of my meal was the greens. My husband said his stuff had no flavor it all just tasted the same. Portion size to price ratio is more on the small side This place is close to our place but we will not be coming back here again. read more

Food is good but they will not fulfill an order if you have a door dash credit with them! They just cancel the order! Would not recommend this place on principle alone. read more

The chicken fried steak with sawmill gravy, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and green beans were amazing. The Chess pie was rich, creamy, with a flaky crust that was to die for. This was amazing southern home cooking. I regret that I only have one stomach. read more

Not good! $44.90 order it was terrible! pinto beans and green beans taste like they're 3 days old! white beans was hard. Country fried steak HARD! Live and learn. Never again! read more

Very average meats and sides. They were also luke warm. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

The food was cold - I ordered b b que chicken and it was cold as if I was just removed from the refrigerator. The black eyes peas were also cold and my fresh made yeast biscuit was the size of a saucer flat donut and was not cooked completely the coke cola was amazing. My daughter ordered fried chicken which was also cold to the touch and taste.. The Lima beans were also cold. The best part of her meal was the sprite. The owner had the audacity to mention how great the prices are and I stated the prices are not the issue. I never leave an eating establishment without a 15% or more tip but today I left nothing. Very disappointing. read more

I think I just found my go to lunch spot! I ordered the meat + 3 and everything was SO good. The baked chicken fell right off the bone (into my mouth). Delicious mashed potatoes, dressing, and Mac n cheese. The best part is that it's super quick to get in and out so it's perfect for those fast lunch breaks between class. Highly recommend, great portions and very reasonably priced. read more

Friendly staff and great home cooked food!! If you are in the Middle TN are I Highly recommend stopping by!!!

My favorite soul food in town. The pork steak and the hot water corn bread heal my soul

Probably my two favorite places to dine are BBQ and good old home cooking spots, and this place meets both. Saw a review of Jeff's Family Friendly Restaurant and knew where I was having lunch today. This place is the definition of "home cooking" where you walk the line, pick from 12+ different meat options, 17+ sides, 3 different bread choices, dessert, drink, and then sit down and enjoy. I opted for half-BBQ Chicken with mashed potatoes and white gravy, macaroni and cheese, and a griddle cake. This was a huge lunch but before I knew it I had eaten it all. The chicken was done perfectly and the sweet BBQ sauce was really good. The sides were plentiful and delicious and could tell they were made from scratch, and the griddle cake was a real treat! Overall this place serves up a delicious meal in a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The folks here are welcoming and provided great service...HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot! read more

Lovely environment. Service is great they always take care of you. Food is very good they know what they're doing. Definitely a family business. read more

My family was looking for lunch after the kid's softball games that would have something the kids would like as well as a meat and 3 for us adults. We were not disappointed! My husband said it was just like food his mom would have made! Everyone ate their fill and thoroughly loved their choices! The staff was very sweet & took good care of us. read more

Jeff's has been our go-to meat & three place for a while now. The last few visits though have been pretty hit or miss. Stopped in last Wednesday just after 2pm. The salmon croquettes were freshly cooked and delicious. The mashed potatoes and cornbread were barely lukewarm, and the turnip greens were nearly all stems. Maybe the regular cook is on vacation??? read more

Excellent meat and 3, Owner was very nice and staff were friendly too. If you haven't been there and love food. You can't go wrong.

We ate here three times before we wrote the review. Each time the food was cold. Each time we told the staff. Each time they said that they have never been told that the food was cold. We had them get us hot food. Instead they put the food in the microwave. The fried chicken is decent. The catfish is good. The service is poor. The communication is worse. They charge a lot for getting little. read more

I have eaten at Jeff's for years. It is the best meat and three in Rutherford County. I usually go on Tuesday when they have all you can eat catfish. It is not uncommon for me to return on Thursday or Friday. Jeff and his brother Jimi are always very friendly and the food is delicious. read more

Delivery was early, food was hot, & it was delivered just like I requested. Our meals from Jeff's was delicious! Wonderful experience!!! read more

Maaaaaaan, I want to love this place because I walked in and it smelled so good, but my food just didn't taste like the yummy smells in my nostrils. Full disclosure: it was take-out and my food had been ready 15 minutes before I got there but...the fish was crispy but 1/3 was just the breading--now, the breading was crunchy, but, where's Nemo? My okra was sitting in a pool of grease and that chess pie, my FAVORITE pie, had this weird, not good, flavor that I took 2 bites of (one was to make sure my taster was tasting what it was tasting) but my tastebuds said "Nah". It may be a whole different experience though if I stay and eat so I'm gonna give this place another shot, for sure. read more

We tried Jeff's for the first time tonight. Wow! Why haven't we been here before now? The food was excellent! My wife had the fried chicken and she said it was the best she's ever had. And the mashed potatoes...so good! I had the chicken and dressing which was so yummy. And the hot water cornbread was excellent! Very few places serve that anymore so it was a nice surprise. We cannot wait to go back! read more

Family owner and operated. Delicious southern soil cooking. Try it, you will not be disappointed.
