DAMRON’S RESTAURANT is more than just a great place for breakfast or lunch — it is a Tullahoma institution. This small family restaurant serves both breakfast and lunch all day, so everyone is sure to find something they love to eat! Damron’s has easily become a family favorite because I love breakfast, but my husband would rather eat just about anything besides traditional breakfast food.
Entering Damron’s transports you to a simpler time — it has a “quaint diner” atmosphere with friendly faces and a kitchen that delivers excellence every single time. The smell of grease and fresh coffee welcomes you as you sit and debate over what to order because everything looks good.
I lean toward the breakfast options because gravy and biscuits are my love language. Damron’s also offers daily specials for a great price, and my last trip rewarded me with a special that paired my beloved gravy and biscuits with a loaded meat-lovers omelet that was thick, fluffy, and oh-so-savory! And, of course, I accompanied it with a Mason jar full of Diet Coke and somecrispy, salty home fries.
While I excitedly dove into my breakfast extravaganza, my husband enjoyed his always-perfect cheeseburger and crinkle fries. Damron’s cheeseburgers are thick and juicy. And the price? Perfection. Damron’s is always full of locals because the food is fresh and delicious, and the prices are affordable. It reminds you that you don’t have to break the bank to enjoy a meal out with family or friends.
Damron’s also offers country-style meat-and-three plates with options like chicken and dumplings, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and all of the down-home favorites. My aunt was recently passing through from out of town and excitedly texted to tell me she had been in Tullahoma and stopped at Damron’s. She opted for the meat-and-three plate and told me I just had to go there for lunch soon if I hadn’t been before because the food was so good!
Another thing that makes Damron’s special is its community involvement. Come To The Table is a Tullahoma nonprofit that provides supper for the community, and Damron’s Restaurant hosts it. Every Tuesday, a team of volunteers feeds more than 125 people a free meal! The generosity and love for the community is evident in everything Damron’s does, from offering free fresh fruits and vegetables and shelf-stable items to neighbors to holding a clothing closet and working to meet other needs of the community.
So, next time you and your family can’t agree on what to eat for an early to midday meal, give Damron’s a try! The restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. It serves a full menu of delicious offerings all day. GN
