Mona’s

Posted by Heather / no comments » / disappointments, murfreesboro


I stopped at Mona’s one day, hoping it would fit into that illustrious category of great food finds off the beaten path. A surprise comment on our blog this weekend from the former owner of Mill Creek Foods reminded us of just how much a joy it can be to find a new place that offers good food and careful service away from the bustle of Nashville’s busier areas.

But alas, it was not to be for Mona’s. While the interior was pleasant, with lots of sunshine from the big front windows, the menu was full of items that were pulled straight from food service stock. I did get a little excited when I saw an espresso machine (maybe there’s a local place for coffee in Smyrna again!), but knew I was about to be disappointed when the cashier seemed thoroughly confused that I didn’t want any flavorings in my latte.

The “latte” came back nothing like a latte. It was just awful – no foam at all, with a burnt taste. My fried chicken salad looked like it came straight from a bag, and the honey mustard sauce had the viscosity of mayonnaise.

I had such high hopes for this place, but unfortunately was deeply disappointed.
