Alphabetical lists of Murfreesboro places to eat by category: wings, pizza, Mexican, barbecue, breakfast, burgers, Asian, desserts, bakeries and patios.

Last checked 2026-10-19. Refreshed every three months.

These are plain, alphabetical lists of places to eat inside Murfreesboro’s city limits, one page per kind of food. Each list gives the address, the hours each place publishes on its own site and a phone number, with a link to the place’s own page where it has one.

How we made these lists. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside the city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 19, 2026. Where a place has no readable site, we kept it only if the Tennessee Department of Health’s food inspection records show a Murfreesboro inspection in the past 12 months. No list is a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on one. Run a restaurant? Write to us to correct your entry.
