We started out with some calamari, the birthday girl ordered the flaming burger which was quite the show. My older sister ordered a bacon burger and I ordered the shrimp and grits. If there is shrimp and grits on the menu I will always order it, I'm a shrimp and grits connoisseur if you will. That said Five on black knows how to do shrimp and grits! The grits were cheesy and creamy and the shrimp was nicely seasoned, the only thing that could have perfected the plate for me was adding some sausage. We had a great experience.

The food and service were superb. It was all classic food done really well. All the portions were generous to say the least. The Wednesday Date Night Special is a great deal and I'd highly recommend. Our server was fantastic and super helpful.

The staff were attentive throughout the meal, and the food was the definition of comfort food. I ordered the Veggie Mandu, Jjajang Myun, and Tangsuyuk, and every dish was excellent with generous portion sizes. The Veggie Mandu had an incredibly crispy exterior with a rich, savory umami flavor. I've had Jjajang Myun at several other restaurants, and while this version wasn't my favorite, it was still solid and enjoyable. The Tangsuyuk was the standout--it was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside, and the sauce struck a great balance of sweetness without being overpowering, making it easy to keep reaching for another bite. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely be back to try the desserts.

It's a comfy place, plenty of of space, plenty of parking. But you will return, again and again, for the quality Korean-centric food. Really impressed with the dumplings apps, crispy and tasty. The Korean cheese corn is solid. The complimentary sides are great--liked the kimchi, the potato salad and the radishes. So good, and fun. The chicken katsu is the best in town, with a perfect salad accompaniment. Really impressed with the zesty kkanpung chicken. You will want to lick the sauce from the bowl but please restrain yourself. Was there for an early lunch so trying the bar needs to come later but there is a separate bar section, if you care for just apps and cocktails. Servings are generous. More enough to share. Considering the quality and quantity, prices are fair.

This is such a unique and niche thing for Murfreesboro, it's hard to nail down an all-inclusive…read morereview. For starters, the location is down an alley way, hidden off the main area of the Square in the Boro. To get to the speakeasy, you have to find the door, use the phone, and answer a riddle to speak the 'password' to get in. Neat concept and adds to the fun of the overall experience. The cons: - A cover charge - and a healthy one, at that. - Every cocktail, small plate/appetizer, dish, dessert, etc. is on the very high end of price points, and that's even for a Nashville spot - not even considering this as a niche location in the burbs. - For the prices, exceptionally small portions/servings of the food options. We left paying over $150 for our evening and both my wife and I were still hungry... The pros: - Service was fantastic. Extremely friendly from the owner to the bartenders to the servers. No complaints there at all. - My wife took me for my 40th birthday, and they helped significantly make it a special celebration while we were there. A special dessert with "4-0" candles, a rousing musician-led, crowd-involved rendition of "happy birthday" was sung in my honor, and overall just a very enjoyable experience. - Atmosphere was fun and inviting without being too much/stuffy. - The interior of the speakeasy is opulent, small, and cozy, featuring enough room for probably no more than 20-25 people total. - The drinks were very, very good. Overpriced, sure - but at least they were well made and tasty. - The food was absolutely fantastic. Great flavors and seemingly fresh, quality ingredients - well prepared. Overall, a very neat, fun, well thought out experience and something to say we've done - BUT unfortunately with the cover charge, pricing of the individual drinks, food items, etc., it prices us out of frequent enjoyment. We would go with a small group for kicks, but will likely not return otherwise, which is a shame.

Super cool speakeasy with beautiful handcrafted cocktails and small plates. Definitely a must if…read moreyou're in the Boro. My all time favorite is the Paper Plane. It's a bourbon based drink that is served with a small paper plane clipped to the edge of the drink. So good!!! There is ample parking because it's located in downtown Murfreesboro. Service is exceptional and the ambiance has a cozy speakeasy feel. As for food, this last time we enjoyed the bruschetta with hot honey and the crab dip with bread. However, anything I've had there has been delicious. One hundred percent cool place to unwind with a good cocktail that never disappoints.

You are greeted at street level--I recommend reservations--then escorted downstairs to your place at the bar, surrounding bar tables, or a few larger group tables. Whatever the case service is right there to welcome you, and start your night with a cocktail, or two. The menu has several creative concoctions but we like to try old reliables--classic cocktails--to see the quality of the bartenders. I'm impressed, the classics were spot on and nicely balanced. The food items were more plentiful and tasty--even the oysters were solid (for such an inland venue as the Boro). Looking forward to many future visits

Very tropical tasting for sure. I also had the crispy shrimp taco (switched cole slaw with lettuce) with jalapeno ranch (maybe?). I think it was the monthly special. It was absolutely delicious, very flavorful. Service was good. The restaurant has lots of TVs and sports apparels on the walls. I bet this place is probably packed when games are going on.

I am a girl who loves a frozen margarita, so when I saw posts about El Toro's soft serve margarita…read more(the only confection of it's kind in the area) I had to create an occasion for a drive to the Boro. After I drove to the wrong El Toro location and delayed Girls Night by 45 minutes, I shuffled into a booth across from my dear friend and we got to crunching chips, but I abruptly stopped because the salsa just wasn't good. I ordered a chicken fajita quesadilla and I hate to report it was dry on every level, from the meat itself down to the innards of the quesadilla. Where I want drippings and cheese and grease, there was none. The refried beans were chalky, unable to infuse the meal with much needed unctuousness. We had the soft serve margs come out last as our dessert, which was far and away the highlight of our time at El Toro. Creamy, fruity, boozy, cute and colorful, they're definitely doing one thing right!

A friend told me El Toro Mexican Restaurant served Pozole Verde...something I've been searching for…read morein Murfreesboro. I arrived and my server Raquel got me set up with a beer and brought me some chips and salsa. The Pozole Verde is HUGE, enough for three people because I was only able to make a small dent in it. The chips were crispy and the salsa surprised me, great flavor! The Pozole is a rich stew loaded a solid green tomatillo/chile broth, shredded chicken, hominy, while you add the sides of radish, lime juice, lettuce, cilantro, and onions. The spice level (I am a wimp) on this stew is close to the top of my range causing some sweating and sniffles. The downside...the furnishing could use some rehab. Upside...good food and service, I'll visit again to try their Birria Ramen.

Paid a visit to Las Trojas Cantina for dinner...been wanting to give them a try. Sat at the bar and…read moremet Marlon and Roberta who took great care of me for the evening. Started with a beer and water, and they brought a large basket of warm chips and a bowl (much larger than other places) of a mild but flavorful salsa. The menu has a nice variety with more than the "standard" Mexican fare. I went with the Chori Pollo which is grilled chicken with mushrooms, Monterey jack cheese and sprinkled with chorizo sausage. I added a side of cheese dip, and the side dish is huge and includes rice, salad, and hot tortillas. The dish was good, nice flavor, not spicy, and the chorizo (not made in-house but good) kicked it up from your standard dishes. For me...I would have preferred larger pieces of chicken, but it did not detract from the overall meal. I plan on returning to try a couple of other dishes like the Birria Burger and the Elote Salad. Great service from Marlon and Roberta and the place is bright and welcoming. My only complaint...no one there could tell me the story behind the horses, and it's not mentioned on their web site LOL

Luckily, we were already placed in their party room. I know we didn't reserve the room in advance but they were so accommodating. We had one server, and he did such a great job. He was definitely serving multiple tables, but overall he had help from the food runners. The food was decent... Since our party was so big, most of the food came out at different times because guests arrived at different times.LOL I would say this is not your typical Mexican restaurant decor. It's super modern, the bathrooms were clean with plenty of stalls, and there were no issues with parking since it's located in a plaza. There was also plenty of waiting area and the bar is huge. Our server was friendly and patient. I would say my ceviche was a tad bland, so I'd probably try the Birria tacos next time as my friend said they were really good. I would also come back during happy hour since their horchata was really good. I asked them to add rum and it was so good with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Overall, this was a decent experience with great service.

I went tonight, and the server greeted me, then like three minutes later someone else brought me my drink. Then after about a couple more minutes, I finally found a server and they took my order. Then my server came back to verify it. My food came out pretty quickly, I didn't see my server again for about five more minutes. She said she would bring me some tea back. After about three more minutes, someone brought me a tea in a to go cup. I don't know why they brought it in a to go cup. My server did bring me to go box and a lid for my ranch. Otherwise, though she was not a very good server. I don't know what the problem was. I don't know if it's because she was having a bad night, or preoccupied with something else or what. There was a nice server there named Stephanie, who helped me a few times and she knew what she was doing. I wish she would've been my server instead. I don't know what's going on with this location, but the service is just so wonky half the time. The servers will just disappear. I don't have this problem at the other locations. It's very frustrating to just get ignored though.
