Thommy S.

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.

Cajun catfish

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!

Chicken and Dressing and hot water cornbread
Katie M.

Still my favorite meat-n-three in the Boro! Service and food is always spot on! If you are near MTSU - be sure to stop here. It's a family owned, local business!

Classic home cooked southern food! Baked chicken was done just right moist but not greasy. And the brisket was smoky and tender!

Yummyyyyyy! We drove…read moreup to Murfreesboro to check out a visiting art exhibit at MTSU. We wanted to try something that we couldn't find in our home city of Huntsville, and we settled on Buona. I'm very glad we did! This restaurant still looks relatively new and is set up in a seemingly developing part of town. There was ample parking and the inside was bright, clean, and spacious. On one side of the restaurant is a separate concept that serves ice cream and desserts. I think this concept is related to Buona/owned by the same folks but I'm not sure. It looked and smelled good though! Anyway, this is an order at the counter type of restaurant, though your meal is delivered to your table. They also have kiosks available if you're feeling asocial, though the placement of these is somewhat incongruous and causes some gridlock if there's a line to order. We decided to order at the counter to make sure our requests could be accommodated. The woman who took our orders listened carefully and took thorough care to ensure things were to our liking and our questions were answered. Our order was correct when it was delivered shortly afterwards. My parents split a medium Italian beef combo with added cheese and sweet peppers as well as a chili dog, and for myself I also ordered a medium Italian beef combo. I got mine with hot giardiniera and cheese, though. Combos come with a side of crinkle cut fries and a drink. I was very pleased to see they have not only Pepsi products, but Pepsi Zero Sugar, which I find preferable to Diet Pepsi. Win! Everything was delicious. The beef was meltingly tender and savory and the giardiniera was tangy and crisp (though I wouldn't have said no to just a teeny bit spicier, hehe - though don't get me wrong, it did have a discernible kick). I got mine with light gravy but you could still taste the umami of the au jus. My own complaint is I wish I could've gotten a dipping cup on the side; perhaps it's possible but I didn't see it on the menu and it wasn't offered. Maybe I should've asked. I like to dip as opposed to dunk to preserve the sandwich's non-sogginess. I digress though, it was a fabulous sandwich. I haven't tried a ton of Italian beefs in my life so far, but this was my favorite. I also usually don't love crinkle fries (or they're certainly not my preferred cut), but as far as crinkle fries go, these were hot, fresh, and fried and seasoned perfectly. It was a generous portion too. My parents also loved their sandwich and said the chili dog was tasty too. The restaurant (including the restroom) was very clean, service was polite and efficient, and the food was delicious. Truly my only tiny complaint is the lack of an au jus dipping cup. I later learned this is actually a franchise that's slowly spreading to the south. That being the case, I am very hopeful that they'll turn their eyes to Huntsville for expansion. I find it somewhat rare for large operations such as this one to produce such an extremely high quality product and experience, but Buona delivered. I look forward to visiting other locations in the future.

The food is just as I remember Buona from Chicago. The hot dog was delicious and the beef was…read moretender and full of flavor. Very helpful staff who were eager to provide a comfortable, positive experience. The dining room was comfortable, clean and constantly maintained. If you are looking for some of the Chicago taste try them out.

The food is delivered to your table. While waiting, I noticed that the old building has a faint mold smell that would have set my wife's allergies off. I was alone on a lunch break. I ordered their Greatest American Hero burger with Cajun fries. The fries were crispy and perfectly cooked. They were great. The burger was perfectly cooked and had enough lettuce that the fresh crunch came through. Joanie's Magic Sauce was served on the side. It was good with the burger but not the fries. This was my first trip here and I can recommend it. The burger was better than average. I'd give it a 7.8 out of 10. Other than the moldy smell, I can recommend it. The condiments are in small packets on a wall, which I didn't care for, but not the end of the world.

We chose Five Senses to celebrate a birthday, and it's a lovely spot for a special occasion. When…read morewe arrived, the staff had embossed our menus with a "Happy Birthday" message, which was such a thoughtful touch. We ordered a bottle of wine (delicious), and noticed some guests bringing their own, though I'm not sure about corkage fees. We started with the smoked pork croquettes, which were outstanding and ended up being the highlight of the meal. For entrées, we tried the lamb, braised beef, halibut, duck tacos, and mushroom ravioli. Everything was served promptly, and overall the food was very good, though there's room for small improvements. The braised beef came highly recommended but didn't stand out in flavor or texture. The lamb, cooked medium rare, was excellent. The ravioli was rich and tasty, though the cream sauce slightly overpowered the dish. The halibut was well prepared, but the potato leek cream truly stole the show. As we were leaving, the staff surprised us with a serving of strawberry ice cream for the birthday guest; a sweet and memorable gesture that capped off the evening nicely. Overall, a great experience with attentive service and a few standout dishes.

Wow! Absolutely one of the best meals I've had in Murfreesboro. I came here for dinner on Saturday…read morebefore Easter with my family, and we had a great time. The menu is the correct length, in my opinion. One page. All I need. They had a couple of specials, too. They seemed to have a really great selection of seafood. I had the duck entree, which was really one of the most delicious pieces of duck I've ever had. The spinach and potatoes underneath were delicious, too. Service was great, they took great care of us and helped celebrate a birthday, too! They were very well-staffed here and out waitress was very kind. There's certainly a couple things they could do to warm up the atmosphere of the interior here, but all-in-all it's a good vibe. Would definitely come again.
