Demos' Family Restaurant

Demos’ is a true family restaurant, serving up the recipes of founder Peter Demos’ family since 1989, when it was founded in Murfreesboro. Demos’ is one of those places where the menu is massive and everything on it is delicious, where the whole family can dine there multiple times a week and never get bored.

Several offerings have risen from the pack, however. Its baked chicken and rice soup is so good that it’s known among regulars as simply “The Soup,” the pot roast is slow cooked for four hours, the sauteed spinach is loaded with parmesan and garlic, the meatballs are kicked up with oregano and mint, and don’t even get us started on the banana pudding, which just might be the best on earth.
