Murfreesboro's Best Brunch

In Murfreesboro, brunch is no longer a sleepy Sunday afterthought. It is a serious, competitive meal.

You can start with a tomahawk steak at a casino-inspired room, then pivot to a 7pm glazed donut that defies logic. We hit twelve spots across the county line, from the kitchen bar at Five Senses to the communal bagel tables at Dapper Owl.

One standout: the Korean BBQ potato skins at Primrose Table. Consider this your field guide to the only meal worth planning around.
