Great food, service and ambience for a quick lunch with a friend. The chicken fried salad was great. I especially enjoyed the crisp bacon strip on top. While the tomatoes were a little large for me, the chicken and greens were fresh. I fished off lunch with a sweet treat of homemade banana pudding made by grandma. The place is clean and the table arrangements allow for private conversations. I would recommend this hidden gem! read more

Sylvan Park-Murfreesboro - Turkey Dressing, pinto beans, squash casserole, cornbread. The chess pie is from Homestyle Bakery in Antioch Tn, - Soul Food Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Some of the vegetables were seasoned a little too heavily for me, but otherwise it was pretty good. I did get their turkey and dressing, which was a strange mix of chipped, turkey both dark and white meat with gravy poured over stuffing. I would prefer having sliced meat. Service was really good. The desserts looked great, but I didn't get any. read more

Food was awesome! I ate every bite! I had cornbread, mashed potatoes, fried okra, fried corn, and turnip green and pinto beans. My husband ate a veggie plate also There wasn't anything left on his plate either we also took a coconut cream pie home for dessert and the sweet tea was fabulous. You know it's good if everybody in town eat there!! make time to go get you some veggies!! read more

Nice atmosphere. Excellent food. The prices were not bad. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

The most amazing thing about this restaurant is the hospitality the staff are checking on your table to make sure you don't need anything. The menu has some of the best choices to pick from, and it tastes amazing as well. Meet some of the finest people in Murfreesboro, Tn read more

Ate there yesterday, something changed, food was lukewarm and didn't seem fresh, hate to see that because we have eaten there for years. As much competition as there is in Murfreesboro today, it's no time to be cutting back on anything. Service was just ok and seemed like prices were a little higher. Restaurants in this town better be on their "A" game, cause they are several closing every day! Thats my story and I am sticking to it! read more

Love this place. Feels like family. Always met with welcoming smiles, great food and Oh that PIE!

We had an excellent breakfast at Sylvan Park. I had the two eggs with fried balogna, potatoes, biscuits and gravy. The balogna was cooked perfectly, as were the eggs. The potatoes, biscuits and gravy were delicious. My wife had 2 eggs with bacon, potatoes, biscuits and gray and she loved her breakfast, also. The service was excellent and the prices were so reasonable. If you want a simple, down home breakfast, Sylvan Park is your place. read more

Such a great, local breakfast joint! It warms my heart to see the older community enjoying coffee and pancakes, sitting at "their" table. There is the sweetest waitress who has been working here since I can remember. Their BACON!!!!! I've never tasted anything like it. Crispy, salty, melts in your mouth. Absolute perfection! I love that they serve coffee in non-matching, miscellaneous cups. Unfortunately, they are no longer open on Saturdays. The pandemic exhausted their staff. But, any time I have a day off through the week - I come here! You should, too! read more

Small and quaint with really good food and coffee. Long term employees make it nice to go to. I always get the bacon cheese omelet. My friend gets the veggie omelet. I've also had some of the meat and sides. The biscuits and gravy are a treat since I don't make either. read more

Yum! I love a good meat and three (or two in my case today). We don't have many, if any, in the St. Louis area, so I'm always happy to come across one. Today's special was Turkey with dressing and yams. Oh yeah! Like Thanksgiving but without all the work. The Turkey was some of the best I've had (sorry, Mama) but the dressing while good, Mama's is better! The yams were heavenly! read more

I love this place! No one, not even my mother can make a chocolate pie like sylvan park. My all-time favorite place to get a burger, fries and a slice of chocolate pie! They are so friendly and know everyone who walks in. I just feel so at home! read more

Ordered breakfast of scrambled egg, over medium eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, pancakes and toast. Was the last to order breakfast this morning and everything came out quick, hot, and delicious. My waitress was prompt and attentive. I visit this place periodically and normally get plate to go. This time I dined in and enjoyed every bite. As I gazed around everybody's lunch orders looked like something I might try next time. No long wait for food or service. Would highly recommend. Nice clean place to dine. Heard the desserts are outstanding. read more

Excellent food and service! One of the best places to eat breakfast. The omelettes are amazing! MUST TRY!!!

It's a toss up as to which is better -- their breakfast, or the meat and three at lunch. I've visited at least a dozen times and can honestly say I've never had a bad meal at Sylvan Park. read more

Knocks it out of the park! Meat and three... everything is made from scratch, hamburgers are hand patted. Make sure to go early to get pie. Mom and I both had 2 catfish fillets, baked potatoes, cole slaw, hush puppies, and chocolate pie. That was the fluffiest meringue I've seen in a while. Perfectly cooked fish fillets and a pure tasting hush puppy. Go. Eat. Enjoy. read more

It's a little bit of a free for all getting seated during lunch but the lady at the counter was great at making sure we were in line with everyone else. The food here is down home, country good cooking like grandma used to make. You can't go wrong. The service was good but I wasn't expecting 5 star service either. We came for the food, it was great, the prices are fantastic and we weee in and out quickly. read more

Always great food and great service!! Staff is very friendly. To be so busy all the time it seems to be well managed.

This little spot must be the local favorite, because it's certainly packed!! My hubby and I have just eaten, my biscuits and gravy were not very tasty. The gravy tasted like a powdered mix made with water, and the biscuits were just ok. Hubby had ham, eggs, potatoes, and toast which were all good, but his grits were undercooked and still gritty. Other tables were ordering omelettes which looks amazing, and piles of pancakes and bacon that made my mouth water. I think we just ordered the wrong things!! The service was very friendly. Leslie was smiling and pleasant, and right there when we needed more coffee. read more

Food was great! Waitress was very rude. I was eating alone and when I asked for more water, she'd asked if it was to go. She said there are other people waiting to be seated. One of their very good customers had recommended them. When I told him, he immediately knew which waitress. Needless to say I will not go back again read more

Up until this point, I would have rated them 5*. They do not earn this as a high end restaurant, but as a great local, home cooked place at great value. Today, I had to drop my rating due to food and customer safety. Normally, this would motivate me to one star, but with explanation, I'm not going to be as harsh. The big issue is twofold and related to COVID19. None of the staff wear masks and their explanation is that they don't have to. (I believe this is at a time when there is a county wide mandate still in effect.) The person said the board of health came in, saw what they were doing, and let it go. The second part of this rating is that there is no social distancing between tables. You could be back to back with the table behind you. I had heart surgery about a week ago and these two items scared me, especially when they stood by the policy. I will not go back until the pandemic eases. Now, about the food. I've eaten breakfast many times and as I said, there is great value on the menu. Their omelettes are HUGE. Pancakes, biscuits, grits, coffee and side orders of meats are all excellent. See you after the pandemic eases. Until then, "bye bye" read more

Great place ,food is really good.A little on the skimpy side.They make you feel welcome there.

I am saddened to only give two stars as the food and service was impeccable. By our waitress. Unfortunately the attitude displayed by another waitress always absolutely horrifying. We enjoyed a lovely meal and as I said l, our waitress was a sweetheart. She asked another waitress to bring us a drink to go as she was busy checking another customer out. We were given the wrong drink and she talked back to us when we asked for the correct drink. She yelled across the restaurant to another employee to see if she was wrong or if we were. She made audible comments and was so rude to us that other people at other tables were apologizing to us for how she was treating us. My kids were almost in tears asking why she was being so mean. We were in town to visit and have always had great service here. This woman (with a 1970's winged hairstyle) was by far the rudest at this establishment and pretty much any other restaurant I have even been too. I guess if her plan was to win that award she excelled. We did nothing to ask for this treatment. I have no clue why she was so mad at us but goodness she needs some customer service training. I understand this isn't fine dining and maybe she is just a bitter old women, but by golly either find a new job or try to be a nicer human. read more

I was in town for a friend's wedding and came here for a traditional Southern meal. Having been raised in the South, I know what a good breakfast looks like. Sylvan Park was that and more. My server was Mickey, and she was a delightful lady. She made sure I had the time to look at the menu and decide on what I wanted. My hotel discontinued its continental breakfast for pandemic reasons so I was looking forward to a hearty meal. Their City Ham & Eggs was excellent, reminded me of how my dad would cook breakfast ham and eggs for me on weekend mornings. The side of grits and a biscuit (plus another on Mickey's request) made the memories more vivid. I'm happy I chose to eat here before going out to walk at the nearby national battlefield. Restaurant staff members were tending to a weeks-old baby nearby. A reminder of the family-oriented Southern lifestyle. Many thanks for a great meal and a reminder of my heritage! read more

Good old fashion meat & 3 with all the charm. Food was delicious and the service was excellent!

This place is awesome! A friend of mine picked it once to go to because he cared about the "asthetic" of a place - how it looks, etc. If that tells you anything it all it says that this place is clean and well put together. Along with that, the food is delicious and is owned by a great family! read more

Really good food, exceptional service and great price. Food was home cooked, good portions as well. Greens were perfect as was the meat loaf. Banana pudding was homemade, full of cookies and fruit. Food was good. read more

First off I'm from out of town and this place seems like a place many locals come. There's plenty of friendly conversation and its busy. I recommend the banana pudding. The baked squash was good too and lastly the crabcakes is ok. The pudding was the best part of the meal. I had the country fried steak, turnip greens, mac n cheese and cornbread. The steak was cold on arrival. They happily corrected it. The mac n cheese not so tasty, the turnip greens a lil salty and a few too many lil pieces of fat from the pork used to season was not too appealing. The cornbread was not warm enough to melt the butter, and in general a basic recipe. This may be a local thing but I didn't understand the plastic plate with the sections either. The place is average and the staff was friendly. read more
