Five Murfreesboro restaurants whose own sites list a patio or outdoor dining, on Medical Center Parkway, Old Fort Parkway and by the Stones River.
Last checked 2026-10-19. Refreshed every three months.
Murfreesboro’s restaurant patios are mostly on the west side: Medical Center Parkway at The Avenue, Old Fort Parkway and the Stones River off Stones River Mall Boulevard, where TailGate Brewery has covered and open-air patios.
How we made this list. We started from OpenStreetMap records inside Murfreesboro’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, and checked each restaurant’s own website on Oct. 19, 2026. A place is listed only when its own site says it has a patio, outdoor seating or outdoor dining; map tags and reviews do not count. Many downtown restaurants we checked do not mention outdoor seating on their sites, so this list is short. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Have a patio we missed? Write to us with a link to your own page that mentions it.

Checked but not listed
We also read the sites of Puckett’s, Five on Black, Marina’s on the Square, Jack Brown’s, The Alley on Main and Wall Street downtown, and BoomBozz, Bad Daddy’s, First Watch, Culver’s and Mission BBQ on the west side. None of those pages mentioned a patio or outdoor seating on Oct. 19, so they are not on this list. That does not mean they have no outdoor tables; if yours does, send us the page that says so.
