Fisherman’s Cove

The Thursday night buffet was very good. I skipped the salad in order to try and taste a lot of different foods. My husband said the baked beans were good with green peppers in them. Peel and eat shrimp were fresh with tasty sauce. The beef rib was nice, not overly cooked, with a dry rub and sauce on side! Did I say a lot of different food. Dessert was cobbler, I got the last Apple and the waitress ask if we wanted ice cream which came in a paper cup. The manager C J stopped and ask if we were satisfied, oh yes! I even tasted a hush puppy, which was good if your into those! If your on your way to Crater of Diamond state park from Murfreesboro, AK it’s worth the stop.

Simply the best food within an hour drive in any direction. If you are fortunate enough to catch the Thursday night or Sunday afternoon buffet, you won’t be disappointed.

I love it. The food was excellent and plentiful. Did I mention plentiful? There was a lot of food. It was really really tasty. Aside from that, the people are really nice and helpful. If they ask you if you want «setups» you say YES. For those of you who come from locals where that means getting the ingredients to mix your own adult beverage, this is not the case here. The Setups here means a fabulous array of fixins. Get it. You will not be sorry. Don’t assume that they keep hours like other restaurants. We found out the hard way that they could be closed on Saturday. Call ahead.

With not many options around Murfreesboro, on the way to Nashville we found this spot. It was GREAT! The food was DELICIOUS and the waitress were very nice and friendly. The food was very fresh. Family friendly restaurant.

The food at Fishermens Cove was prepared with skill and care. If you do not like what they serve it is because you don’t prefer the flavor, not because it was poorly prepared. Every facet of our experience was positive and professional.
My wife ordered the fish and shrimp combo. I ordered the regular catfish plate. We both ordered «setup» with the meal. Setup is hush puppies, pinto beans, green tomato relish and coleslaw. The coleslaw was creamy and well seasoned. The pinto beans were not cooked to a mush. You must try the relish. If you’d like sweet stewed tomatoes you will love it. The fish was crispy, tender and well seasoned. The french fries were REAL, fresh cut potatoes, not the bagged, frozen kind. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly.
A quick tip: It is easy to fill up on setup. Order a smaller portion to avoid waste.
I cannot recommend this restaurant too highly. You will wish you had one like this at home.

Came to this area for the diamond mining. This restaurant is well worth the short drive from Murfreesboro. Large menu mostly seafood and steak. We opted for the buffet. Very fresh salad bar and mostly fried seafood on the buffet. However, it did have pasta and baked fish over pilaf. The desserts were yummy. Would go back.
