Manager never came out to f/u after fried food was sent back. Only the entree was recooked and told I had to keep the same cold sides. No type of adjustments offered..... Management absolutely horrible! No customer service at all! Never had such an unpleasant, awful experience with any restaurant. Definitely would expect a small town, assuming locally owned restaurant would be more accommodating and concerned about their customers' experiences. Thanks for showing who you were up front before I booked the spot for a private 50 guest birthday party. I was patronizing this spot only to see the space and atmosphere before reserving. All of those $$$ will be headed to Franklin now!

My husband was pretty satisfied with his catfish. I found my fish to be a bit too fishy and had to spit it out halfway through. My husband even said mine tasted too fishy for his liking as well and couldn't finish it. He ordered the catfish and enjoyed that. I think the serving sizes were a little disappointing for the price. Upon arrival, my husband found that they were not yet open, despite their hours stating they would be. Eventually, when they let him in around 20 min later, it seemed like the staff was not anticipating a customer walking in, and they explained that getting their food truck ready was their top priority. It was a disappointing experience, since it was Father's Day and he was really looking forward to trying this place out for his Father's Day lunch and it wasn't the best experience. He did enjoy the food and said he'd order it again for himself, but from the food truck next time because it seems maybe those customers might have better experiences. Personally, I would not return.

    This is a great review I saw from back home ! BackstreetCrabs in Franklin. I had heard the food was…read moregreat, but had seen other not so nice reviews as well (you never know until you try it though). Ill try to give y'all a good honest opinion of the restaurant and food. I had seen the shrimp and crab philly posted on this page and thought "I've got to try that, I've never had any sandwich like that before." Well today was the day. I placed my order over the phone and the young lady who answered was very nice, (the ticket had the name Destiny on it). She answered all my questions and took my order without any issues. When I got to backstreet crabs I observed the gentleman cooking wearing gloves, a head covering, and a beard net. The young lady was helping some other customers and bagging up their order. She told me they were working on my order and I could go ahead and grab my drink (cooler with bottles and cans located in the customer seating area). When my order was ready it was boxed up and shown to me to make sure it was what I had asked for. Everything looked and smelled good. Staff was very friendly the entire time. Here's the pros of the meal: It was delicious! Piled high with filling and very flavorful. There were whole shrimp, not pieces. I think around 6 good size shrimp in the sandwich. There was so much filling I had to take a layer off the top. Fries were cooked perfectly as well. The only negative thing I have to say about the whole experience was that the sandwich was very wet, so the bread got soggy fast. Did that stop me from eating it, Nope. It was still delicious. I did end up taking the filling out of the bread once it was too soggy for my liking and just eating the filling. Just FYI if you plan to order over the phone you will need to pay with card while you are on the phone, but it wasn't a surprise, she did tell me when I asked to place a to go order. I'll definitely go back again, I've got my eye on the crab cake sandwich for next time or maybe some wings. Love to help local hometown!

    Who doesn't love a Restaraunt that you can ride up in a boat to the dock, tie off, grab a table,…read moreand enjoy the view. What a treat. This was our first visit to this establishment. Our expectations were high. As we walked down the dock checking out the other boats tied off along the way we could hear laughter and good music. (Be mindful of any loose boards) We were greeted as soon as we walked up and seated at an 8 top right on the deck viewing the lake. The menu had a lot of appealing items to select from. A majority of them being fried seafood fair. The prices were reasonable for the selection as well. The six of us all ordered something different. I had the Firecracker Shrimp (huge!), my wire ordered the crab cakes (disappointing due to more filler than crab at $22 for two), son had the 8oz burger (he loved it), tenders for the little guy, my uncle ordered the alligator bites which they were out of so he picked the catfish nuggets, and my aunt got the chicken nachos. The portions were rather large. Down to stars. I'm on the fence between 3 or 4 for these reasons. We arrived around 2:30pm and probably waited just over an hour for our food. The little ones were restless and cranky. The food was decent with the exception of the crab cakes. Servers were overwhelmed somewhat due to customers sharing stories from what I could gather from nearby tables. People are chatty when the mixed beverages are flowing. However, I love the experience, vibe, and the view. So 4 it is for this trip. You should check them out. I would definitely like to come back. It was really fun and I can only expect that place to get crazier as the summer goes on. Side note: If you order water, there is a $0.95 charge. Also there is a membership discount, but I don't know what that entails.

    I have been quite naughty, and a good bit delinquent, on updating my review from 11 years ago?!…read more Sheesh, sorry about that! If you happen to pass through this quant well appointed town, and have a hankering for yummy Chinese food which boasts no use of MSG, then China Garden is your place! They have been around for many years, and are better than all the Chinese places in Ahoskie, NC as well as Franklin, VA (nearby towns on either side of Murfreesboro). All to say, we have tried so many of their dishes and have not ever been disappointed. To me that speaks volumes in and of itself! We typically order early or late lunch (to avoid the rush) and order all chicken lo mein (and minus the side of fried rice so as to get a larger lunch portion of only the chicken lo mein...which is one of my fav go to dishes). Their general tso has larger fried chicken type chunks for the dinner order vs the harder chicken popper style they use for lunch (both equally saucy of coarse). At our house its a 50/50 split on who likes which General Tso's style best...but as for me, I am the dinner style vote (just in case you were wondering). ;) The place is always clean and inviting. The prices are comparable to most of the other eateries nearby. The staff are always friendly, and are quick to prepare our orders both in "eat in" or "to go". This is just kinda our go to Chinese place for many years now, and am so grateful for all they do daily in serving up wonderful Chinese food for all us locals, and for those of you who happen to mosey on by and want to enjoy and savor a slower pace of life (even if for just a quick bite to eat). It truly is small town living at its best...but I guess you could say I'm a little bit biased, since I have lived near this area for 18 years and counting.

    This is a jewel in Murfreesboro. Some of the very best Chinese food that I have ever hadread more
