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

All American Meat and Three. I thought food was good. Skip the Mac and Cheese. Chicken was very good. Superb service. Did not have the desserts and they looked yummy read more

See all

I like this place. We go on Saturday mornings. They're usually busy, but we never wait more than a few minutes for a seat. The service staff is friendly. Their pancakes are huge. I can only eat one. I haven't had lunch or dinner yet Would definitely recommend read more

This place was great. We rolled the dice on where to go and yelpers did not disappoint. You walk into this tiny diner and it feels like it is someone's house. The staff was busy so we were not sure if we should seat ourselves or wait. We decided to sit and did not have to wait long for service. The waitress was busy but very friendly and made sure we got coffee and water while we looked at the menu. I only got eggs and country ham but both were cooked perfectly. The ham was a bigger piece than I expected and was not dried out. My wife tried the biscuits and gravy and said they were pretty good as well. I am pretty sure we will be back to Murfreesboro in the near future so we will make it a point to return here for another great breakfast. read more

I had breakfast at the Murfreesboro location on Saturday morning with a group of 6 hungry guys. I only wish I knew that very patient waitress's name. She had a wonderful attitude and made sure we were all happy with our service and the wonderful food. I had a "Mid-western" omelet, that is a western omelet without bell peppers, (ACK! I don't like to write that word much less eat them!) to each his own. Anyway the lady never broke stride, and provided our group attentive service with lots of KAFFEE! A great place I will be back! Thank you for coming to the 'Boro read more

Masks are mandated in Rutherford County. But no staff were wearing them, and in fact told us that they were not required. A business that does not protect its staff, customers or community does not get my business! We turned around and walked out! read more

This is a follow-up to my previous review of Sylvan Park in Murfreesboro, Tn. Your unprofessional reply to my "average" rating for your little diner did not surprise me. I have been there twice in the last couple of weeks. You do not sanitize anything between customers. At best you wipe the table top with a rag that has been used on previous tables. You do not sanitize salt and pepper shakers, chairs, doors, counters, etc. My latest, and last meal, was average at best. My biggest problem was the attitude of your server. I asked why you were doing nothing to address the Covid-19 virus and there attitude was very flippant. She ended by saying, "If I get it, I get it." Sorry your sales are down and you feel it necessary to cram every person in there for that extra dollar, but most every good restaurant in the 'boro is taking extra precautions. Maybe you did things different in Nashville, but the folks here have a little more concern and compassion for their neighbors. As for your "dig" at me for bringing my drink in from McDonalds, the answer is simple. Your drink prices, along with their taste is the basis for my decision. Also, your diminished serving sizes, does not make dining there worth the money. read more

I got my dinner to go.. crab cakes, fried okra, mashed potatoes and squash. The food was tasty and good but they were skimpy and I ended up rummaging through my cupboard and eating half a box of cheddar crackers to fill me up. $11.00 and still hungry. I was going to get fried oysters tomorrow night but I've changed my mind. The veggies were so scarce I think I'll stop somewhere else. read more

Sylvan Park-Murfreesboro - This left me hungry! I had to eat some cheddar crackers to get full. - Soul Food Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Ate lunch here today - fried chicken, turnip greens, squash casserole and cole slaw. Overall, an awesome lunch. Fried Chicken- Some of the best I've had. Perfectly seasoned, crispy and not greasy. Squash Casserole- Good but not great. Needs something crunchy on top like crumbled ritz crackers. Greens - Good but could have used some ham or bacon to add a little smokiness and flavor. Also they said they are going to start serving catfish and seafood. Will review and post! read more

Sylvan Park is a meat and three restaurant that has been a long time favorite for many in Nashville. This place is packed for lunch and they are already talking about opening a second location in the Boro. The owner is very nice and she even gave me a free slice of chocolate pie for having to wait a little longer than normal for my to go order. If you go during lunch time be prepared to wait but it will be worth it. read more

Sylvan Park-Murfreesboro - Soul Food Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Just ate lunch there for the first time with my son-in-law and my two granddaughters. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional. My 10 year old granddaughter had a cheeseburger, three vegetable plate and chess pie and she ate almost all of it plus part of my country fried steak with gravy(which was actually more like saulsbury steak but excellent), part of a cornbread muffin and part of her sister's peach cobbler. I plan on becoming a regular customer at this meat and three restaurant. Girls want to go back tomorrow for breakfast. Prices are reasonable and adequate portions. read more

Food is amazing I mean everything was fresh to order and our waiter was so nice, very cheap. Definitely my favorite breakfast place now.

If your looking for delicious southern home cooked meal, this is the place! It's a small place, but we were seated quickly. The staff made you feel right at home, the prices were reasonable, and the food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

My husband and I had dinner here last night. He ordered the fried chicken which the waitress let him know there would be a short wait as they had just started cooking the chicken. He decided to wait for it and he said it was worth the wait! I had the turkey and dressing and it was also yummy. Definitely better than the dressing at Millers Grocery. Prices are fair for the amount of food you receive. The cornbread was delicious. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant read more

First I want to say the management and staff were very nice. The food is just okay. I ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The green beans were good but the mashed potatoes were a little watery and not very tasty. My country fried steak was more like a Salisbury steak. I guess it was fried but I could not tell. It was more like a roasted hamburger steak smothered in an onion brown gravy. There are a few places around here that do this kind of food much better in my opinion. If it was not for the service I would be giving this place 2 stars. read more

Great local place right on hwy 41. It's a no-frills restaurant but that didn't deter us because we heard about the great food. We were there on Christmas Eve and found a place to sit right away. Service was prompt and courteous. Got a traditional breakfast of eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and coffee. The bacon was maybe just a little too gristley for my taste but other than that, everything else was great! Can't beat the prices either. It came out around $6 a person! read more

They place is not made for parties of five or more. We arrived and the majority of the tables were dirty. We saw on table for four and a little table we slide beside the other table. The waitress was busy talking, so we were trying to help her. Apparently it pissed her off and told us they would close them down to move a little table beside the table for four. She took the next little table beside the other one and replaced it. We sat for a long time and she never took our drink order and ignored us the entire time. Four other tables arrived and were waited on right away by this waitress. Finally a young guy came out and took our drink order, he brought half the drinks and then got drinks for the other table. I am not sure if he was new or didn't care. We finally placed our order and got our food. The manager finally showed up and this rude female waitress got busy and cleaned off the tables. The young male waited messes up one order but he was trying. The manager was helpful and we made no comment to her about the female waitress. We did notice the female waitress pointing to us and talking about us, the waitress also pointed to another table and talked about them. Hopefully the manager will inform this waitress she shouldn't talk about customers. We had no problem with the naive male waiter or manager. The food was good but their dark haired, heavier waitress needs to work on her attitude. We knew she was ignoring us and we almost left. Our table of five brought more money in then the table of one and two she waited on, who arrived after us. I am not sure if we will return or not. They need to put a sign on their door if you have more then four in your party, go somewhere else. read more

I hate 2 eggs, bacon, grits & toast...all I can say is yummm! I always tell people when you can cook fried eggs over medium correctly it's a great spot. I hear it's hard to get in here on a Sat morning cause it's that popular. It's a Wednesday at 9:00 & I had a short wait..five minutes tops. I can't wait to come back for lunch/dinner. read more

So happy we found this little diner. Dinner Friday night. Ordered the country fried steak platter and the 3 piece catfish platter. Over the top quality and taste. Great service and friendly people. Save the breakfast menu and made plans to go the next morning. Top quality again. Ordered so that we experienced the major offerings. Bacon was highly recommended but just passable. Only thing that way. Grits, Biscuits, Gravy, Sausage, Pancakes, Home style potatoes, fried bologna and eggs all top shelf. Will be back as often as we can justify. read more

Had an early dinner. Seated immediately around 4:00. I ordered fried chicken, but none was ready, so I was told it would be a few extra minutes. I was hungry and they said I could get catfish faster. I opted for faster catfish. I was not disappointed. The food was great, the service was great and it was a great setting to talk with other patrons, which I did. This type of food place is a regeneration of a dying breed and it brings back the experience of days past. I will be back again and again and I encourage others to check it out. I give a two thumbs up... read more

This is a small town cafe and brings back many good memories doe to atmosphere and good old country settings. Everybody knows everybody. Expect country cooking and treatment. I love it here and will definitely be back. read more

Great food, the biscuits were tall & thick, pancakes were fluffy, ham was delicious & the fried potatoes were awesome. The coffee is great so I had to ask, its Webb refreshments. Now to see if they can ship! read more

I really enjoyed this little place! Service was fantastic, and I don't usually take a chance on fried chicken (I'd rather make it myself)...but I was feeling lucky. The chicken was awesome! Tried the chess pie afterwards, and it was WAY too sweet. Couldn't finish more than a couple bites. Maybe take it easy on the sugar. read more

A favorite lunch spot. With so few meat and three restaurants in town, Sylvan Park is a real gem. They have an excellent selection of vegetables and delicious home made pies for dessert. The waitresses are excellent and vey attentive. The restaurant is very clean and the wait time between ordering and receiving your food is minimum. The prices are good and the servings are perfect in size. read more

Stopped for lunch on our travels to Nashville. What a great find. I had the meatloaf and my husband had the chicken fried steak, each w 3 yummy veggies. Loved every bite from the cornbread and rolls through the chocolate pie. Top it all off w delightful service, and Sylvan Park can't be beat! Well worth the easy 10 minute drive off the expressway. read more

This is a great place for breakfast, and probably lunch and dinner too. The food is good. The service is awesome. Staff is friendly. I had the cheese omelet and a biscuit and gravy. Both were perfect. We will go back for sure. We will definitely try the lunch and dinner meat and three options! read more

We have eaten breakfast here two times, and lunch once so far. Great friendly service, food is great comfort food. Dining room is exceptionally clean. Prices are very reasonable especially the breakfast prices. The coconut pie is amazing. Glad to see they are here in the Boro. read more

Shhh it's a secret. I don't want too many people to know about this awesome place. It can get pretty busy since their hours are not normal. The place is not fancy but the food is great. read more

I eat breakfast there 3 -4 days a week! Food is good and consistent . The service is excellent. I highly recommend.

I've eaten lunch here twice within a week. Both times the food was excellent and the service polite and prompt. The desserts are terrific. The chess pie is some of the best I have had. As for the banana pudding, if I wasn't already married I would marry it. read more

Love this place! Food is always good (reminds me of my grandmothers meals after church). If you get a chance to go try to sit in Mickey's section. She is really sweet and will make sure you enjoy your visit read more

My husband and I love this place. We usually have breakfast there every Saturday morning but have also done an occasional lunch or dinner. The cheeseburger is great with fries for lunch as is the patty melt. Wait staff and owners are also wonderful. So happy to have found this place. read more
