Enjoyed dinner twice during our recent visit! Good, strong and well-made craft cocktails. Loved the wedge salad and Shrimp Cocktail. Highly recommend the Pan-seared Trout, Salmon Salad, and Steak Tips Au Povre. The Thoughoughbred Pie is a chocolate lovers dream! Servers are very good and foid comes out fast and expertly cooked as ordered.

A very wonderful family owned restaurant. The waitress was informative and very friendly, the food was awesome, and the atmosphere was nice.
My appetizer was goat cheese bruschetta. It was amazing with a hint of sweetness that made this a unique treat for sure. The salad that came with my meal was the right size and not over loaded with all kinds of stuff. I ordered the meatball pasta which was really good. For dessert I ordered the thoroughbred pie with vanilla ice cream. The pie was warm and extremely tasty.

Food was amazing. Steak tip sandwich was juicy and tender. Full of flavor. Every one enjoyed the food. Clean and nice place to have sit down lunch. Prices were what you would expect not high. Only small downside— Server was talkative, really talkative. In town visiting family for lunch and server, no one knew, stayed at table and almost to point of rambling went on and on to one of our members. Would leave table then came back and started back up.

Always a great experience at The Alley. The bruschetta appetizer with goat cheese is the perfect amount of food for a family to share, Or for a person to eat as a meal if they’re not all that hungry. That’s what I did. It’s delicious! My kids enjoy any of the pastas they have to offer, and the salads are good too. My husband enjoys the gumbo.

Everything we ordered (party of 7) was fantastic! I rarely order pasta in restaurants but decided to try the meatball pasta and now I’m addicted and need rehab. My husband and son in law got the ribeye and they were perfect. I don’t remember our waiters name but he was on it and kept our drinks filled and kept a good check on us. Can’t wait to go back!

We stopped here with friends while traveling through Tennessee, and had one of the best restaurant experiences ever. This restaurant qualifies as a “trifecta” in my book – Great Service, Great Food and Great Atmosphere. We started with appetizers, and they were super good. The Fried Green Tomatoes were plump and juicy and the Comeback sauce gave them a nice zing. The Shrimp Wontons were also a definite hit with our group….Shrimp, bacon, cheese, jalapenos….and a Cherry Mustard that was so good we literally asked for the recipe. Our steaks all came out cooked perfectly….juicy, flavorful and they were huge…..more than enough to bring home some leftovers. The crispy Brussel Sprouts (a house signature item) were ridiculously good. Two of us mentioned that we would literally sit and eat them like potato chips all night long. LOL The atmosphere is a casual, family owned place with a great menu offering steaks, seafood, pasta, salads, etc. They also have desserts, but we were so stuffed, we didn’t order any this time. By far, the best thing about this place was our server, Hannah. She is an absolute treasure. She kept us laughing and joking (and well served) thoughout the entire meal. We will definitely request her when we go back again. We are happy that we have friends in the Murfreesboro area, because that gives us an excuse to drive two hours to go back to this amazing downtown gem! Definitely in our Top 5 best restaurant experiences…and we eat out A LOT, so that is saying something!

10/10 — will definitely be back. This place was absolutely amazing for the price. Me and a guy from work are in town for work relief for SNOWMAGGEDON 2026, and we wanted something to eat that wasn’t a typical chain restaurant. We definitely found the spot.
I ordered the steak and it was easily top 5 best steaks I’ve ever had—and somehow it was also the cheapest meal I’ve had all week. Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.
If I’m ever back in town, I’ll 100% eat here every single time.
