If you were to find yourself driving through downtown Murfreesboro on any given day, you’d likely pass right past one of the city’s oldest and most famous institutions of Southern cooking. That spot is Kleer-Vu Lunchroom, but of course, once you’ve been, you’d never miss it again. Since 1976, this family-owned restaurant has been serving up two generations of soul food that can only be described as food so good you’ll think your grandma made it. See for yourself!

James Adams - Google Maps Kleer-Vu Lunchroom has been a staple of the Murfreesboro food scene since 1976, and let’s just say that there’s most definitely a reason that this restaurant has withstood the test of time.

Brent Roach - GoogleMaps That reason is their fried chicken. And the rest of their food, really (it’s all so good!), but their fried chicken is known all around the area as the best that you’ll be able to find anywhere.

Matthew Rogers - Google Maps The folks at Kleer-Vu are some of the nicest you’ll find anywhere, too. The restaurant has been owned and operated by the same family since it opened, with the second generation now operating it. There’s so much local history just in this unassuming building.

Tim Welchance - Google Maps Whatever you do, just be sure that you save some room for dessert! You’re sure to get a portion as big as your head, but it’s so good, you’ll still walk away wanting more.
