“My family visited your restaurant in downtown Nashville yesterday after a show at TPAC. The service and food was excellent. I’ve never tasted a burger any better than the Cheddar Burger and my 6 year old daughter couldn’t get enough of her chicken & rice soup, saying it was the best she’d ever had. She went on to say, “Daddy, we have to come here every time we come to Nashville!” When I picked up the check and noticed the price, I smiled and told her, “We will definitely be coming back!”

“My throat hurts. You may wonder why I am telling you this. We lived in Murfreesboro from 1988-2002. We ate at your place at least once a week, my husband owned a business just down the road.Back to the sore throat, whenever we were sick one of us would go and pickup a container of Baked Chicken Soup and that made us feel better. We live in South Louisiana and Murfreesboro is too far to go for soup. I seriously thought that was all I missed until I looked at your website and realized how many of dishes I didn’t even realize I missed. I am only sending these comments because I think life is short and we don’t often tell people how they have had an impact on our lives. This is a little thing, but when we don’t feel good it is a big thing. Thank you for sharing with us and you can best believe if we ever get back we will come see you.”

"Demos’ is my favorite place to eat. We have driven down from Knoxville just to eat here or Nashville location....even Murfreesboro once. Our town is full of places to dine....but there is no Demos’. Help me save gas and locate Demos’ in Knoxville."

"We can only come by when a trip for my 2nd job sends me thru there.First time was a year ago and was very excited when this trip brought us back through! The food and service was even better than we remembered!! We feel that the Lebanon location is the most phenomenal all around place we have had the pleasure to dine in! We just have one thing to say--please bring one to Greenville, NC! I’ll even work there!"

Michele B. - 11/7/08



"The staff here and downtown is very friendly and helpful. The appetizers, soups, salads and entrees were each delivered in a very timely manner. Everything was great. Keep up the good work!"

“Linda, our waitress, gave us a comment card, but I wasn’t satisfied with that...you didn’t give me enough lines to tell you how I felt. Linda was extremely friendly, and she made me feel special when she offered samples of the sauces, I was so impressed when she brought them all out. My favorite was the blackened chicken – it was perfect, it was heavenly, I had never tasted anything sooo good that had ‘blackened’ in the title – usually it is too spicy for me. My husband was tearing up over his steak. He got to eat only one of his shrimp, though, because who ever cooked the shrimp knew what they were doing. I lived in Beaufort, South Carolina before I came here, and I know how easy it is to overcook and destroy shrimp. The flavor jumped off the food, filling me with such joy. The whole dining experience is something to talk about for a while. When my husband and I were on our way home, and I said how great it is to have service like that, he told me about the downtown location, and I realized you guys are a CHAIN!!! No way!!! I have come straight home and Googled you. I don’t know who was cooking tonight, but your info said Eric is the kitchen manager. He has got it done right. I’ll be looking for you guys to come near me in Owensboro, Kentucky or the surrounding cities, but if not on my many trips to Nashville, I will definitely be coming back. There was too much on the menu that I didn’t get to try. Like the desserts! Thank you so much for a great time. Hey, maybe there’s an advertisement in there, ‘For a Good Time Call...Demos!"

“Last week, my family and I concluded a week long vacation to Nashville,TN. During our stay, in one of our last evenings in this city, we had the distinct pleasure of eating in your restaurant on Commerce St. Very seldom is it worth the effort to validate an eating experience, but the consensus of our entire family was that this was one of the highlights of our trip! Not only was the food exceptional, but the price was extremely reasonable. And most impressive was the incredible service we received from our server, Mike, who, although busy with many tables, made us feel like we were his only customers! In our general observation of the restaurant, it was very impressive to see everyone, including managers, pitch in to keep things running smoothly. We only have one extremely disturbing observation which is very disappointing for us....there is no Demos’ in Minnesota where we live!!!”

Chris H. - 7/29/08



“I just got home from your Hendersonville restaurant and had to let you know how wonderful I thought it was. I haven’t been to Demos’ in many years and that was the downtown restaurant and while I enjoyed it then I will now consider the Hendersonville restaurant my favorite place to go out to eat. With the price to feed a family of 5 at a restaurant I am not easily impressed with eating out. But the value was great, the food was wonderful especially the baked chicken soup - YUM!! but was I was most impressed with was the customer service. I haven’t been to a place in a long time that cares that much and are that friendly. We had people that didn’t even wait on us come over and say “Have a nice day.” I will definitely be back as a regular customer. Also our server Tyrone was great. He didn’t mind once that we had him running. I was just in Florida and when I asked our server something she actually rolled her eyes at me and it is sad to say that is what you get at most places, but Tyrone didn’t mind once when I needed to place a to-go order, get another drink or a box. The managers were also very friendly and I thought that it was wonderful that they were working, too. It was truly a family-owned atmosphere and that made for a pleasant experience. Thanks so much.”

Erin - 7/27/08



“One of the best dining experiences I have had and I spent 22 years in the military and went to Southeast Asia. Great food and excellent service at a very reasonable price.”

Back! Great service.”

Marilyn and Sig R. - 7/4/08



“When my husband and I have anything to celebrate, we always go to Demos’. We never have had a bad experience!”

Mr. & Mrs. Dave S. - 6/29/08



“We’ve recently had to move to Dallas,TX due to my job. We sure wish you all would consider opening up some restaurants here because we miss being able to go out to good place to eat.. We generally ate at the Lebanon restaurant and at the Murfreesboro one..Oh well, just thought we would let you guys know..Keep up the good work...”

Tom S. - 6/13/08



“Our waiter was absolutely amazing. We were a table of 6 seated on the left hand side at a large table on the right closest to the back booths. His partner in crime as he stated was Lara. This was our first visit as we live in Canada. We were between bus tours and your restaurant was highly recommended. This waiter is the perfect advertisement for your establishment. His professionalism and humour made our meal so enjoyable. He even shook my dad’s hand when we left. How AWESOME is that. Thank him sincerely, we will definitely be back.”

W.D. - 5/17/08



“Our first time at any DEMOS’. We’ve seen it and heard about it and now we’ve tried it. Great place, Great service, Great food. We are from Clarksville and don’t get over in your areas much, however now we know we can not be disappointed if we go to a DEMOS’ restaurant. Jason gave an orientation of your menu and guaranteed our food would be as requested or he would take it back without question. From the beginning Jason made us feel like we would be satisfied no matter what.”

Thanks, Rick and Karen - 3/31/08



“When I visited my friend in CT, I met his brother, who is the Fire Chief in Hartford. As it turns out, he was coming to Nashville March 12-16 for a Convention of Fire Chiefs from all over the country. He and several other Fire Chiefs....including the Nashville Fire Chief ate in your restaurant and loved it. They loved it so much they ate there 2 additional times. They raved about the food and service.”

Mary - 3/17/08



“Just wanted to say a big “THANK YOU” for adding the grilled catfish to your menu as a regular item. We love it!”

“My boyfriend and I just visited your downtown Nashville location on 2-16-08. I must say that is was the best experience we have ever had eating out. Our server Chris was wonderful, the food was AMAZING and the price was very, very affordable. I must tell you that from now on when we visit Nashville, Demos’ will be the ONLY place that we eat at!!!!”

J. - 1/19/08



“My husband and I have been to your establishment on several different occasions and we just wanted the management to know that the customer service in your store is by far the best service that we have found, anywhere! We realize how rare good customer service is and we just wanted to applaud your efforts! Thank you for your service!”

K. - 1/12/08



“Hello, Demos Steak and Spaghetti House!!! I am a 15-year-old boy and I absolutely love visiting your restaurant whenever I am in Nashville visiting my aunt! What I love about your restaurant is your affordable pricing, the freshness of your food, the quality of your food compared to other restaurants that serve the same products and your wait staff is very caring and generous for their customers!!! I also like that your food is always fresh and isn’t ever 2 days old and rock-hard like a boulder!!! Keep up the excellent work and because of all of these reasons listed above I will always be a Demos Steak and Spaghetti House customer!!! Anyways, I have been collecting company and restaurant ball caps for the past 14 years and I thought it would be really cool to add a Demos Steak and Spaghetti House cap to my ever growing collection!!! If you could please contact me back via email that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, keep up the excellent work and have a great day!!! Thank you once again, you guys rock!!!! “

“We had our first experience at Demos’/Nashville, TN location this past Monday. I have to write and tell you this was the best experience we have had for a quick meal EVER! We were taken back by the efficiency of the staff...but the food, especially the soup was heavenly! Kudos to the chef that created this ‘Chicken Soup’ recipe. Delightful, and I’m not a chicken soup gal. Can’t wait till we can go back! “

Gail B. - 9/18/07



“I just wanted to say that your restaurant was the best that I have ever had, that is why I’m driving from Columbus, Ohio to eat there for my birthday. See you in October.”

Sheila B. - 9/18/07



“We have eaten at your establishment for years. I have never given feedback, but I wanted to say that never has our experience been anything but exemplary. We mostly eat in Murfreesboro, but we have also eaten in Nashville and Lebanon. We love the experience there. The entire experience, from leaving our name until the check arrives is always excellent. There is no other restaurant that has provided excellence repeatedly. Food, service and atmosphere are superb!”

N. - 9/11/07



“I have commented on this restaurant before, however, I would like to give you all some feedback on one of your hostesses, Amanda Strahl. We come to this location a lot, but in the realm of a hostess, Amanda was really exceptional. She was kind, sincere, and so genuine...I love it! Also, Tammy has this place running on all 8 cylinders! This is by far the most consistently pleasant experience each and every time we visit. Her and the staff deserve a pat on the back for all their effort, the food is awesome, and they treat us like family. In fact WE love it!”
