Toot’s, located at 860 NW Broad Street in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has been a local institution since its opening in 1985. Established by Wade Hayes, this full-service family restaurant quickly became known for its “Good Food & Fun” ethos, introducing buffalo wings, fried pickles, and oysters on the half shell to Rutherford County. While primarily a dining establishment, Toot’s also offers video games for patrons, contributing to its lively and family-friendly atmosphere.
Over its decades of operation, Toot’s has achieved status as the oldest full-service restaurant in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County, demonstrating its enduring appeal and significance to the community. The original Broad Street location has hosted notable local events, including the filming of a portion of Hank Williams Jr.’s Monday Night Football intro in 1992 and a visit from famed DJ Wolfman Jack in the same year, where he was presented with the key to Murfreesboro. Regularly voted a “Favorite Restaurant” by area residents, Toot’s continues to serve as a welcoming and vibrant hub for Murfreesboro families, friends, and sports teams.
