Old Country Cooking Review Summary

The summary was generated by AI, based on reviews.

Pros

Old Country Cooking is a hidden gem in the heart of Murfreesboro, serving up delicious Southern comfort food that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. The menu boasts a wide variety of options, including mouth-watering burgers, crispy fried chicken, and creamy mashed potatoes. The service is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The prices are also very reasonable, making it an excellent option for families or large groups.

Cons

Some diners have reported that the restaurant can get quite busy, especially during peak hours, which can lead to longer wait times. Additionally, the atmosphere is quite casual, which may not be ideal for those looking for a more upscale dining experience. A few reviewers have also mentioned that the food can be a bit greasy, so those with dietary restrictions may want to take note.

Walked in and almost walked out. But I was hungry and there. Some of the staff should act like service industry employees vs people who don't acknowledge customers because they want to talk vs work. Food was decent but cold. Sitting in pans but not...Read More

The food is average and on the salty side. Only hot and fresh during the lunch rush. No other good options for chicken/fish dinners in the Joe B Jackson area. More
