I would say that this is the last/best soulfood/meat n' 3(meat and 3 sides)restaurant ever, but I'll just say that's it's my favorite. Everyday they offer different meats and vegetables to choose from, but they do have delicious fried chicken and hot-water cornbread everyday of the week. The sweet tea is the best I've ever had. While everything here is wonderful, there is one item that is a total stand-out: the meatloaf. It's like big greasey slice of heaven. If you're thinkin' to yourself that you don't much care for meatloaf,well guess what, you'll love it. I've converted many a meatloaf hater personally. I won't go into details about it other than to say that they serve it every Thursday AND they will also be serving fried okra and mashed potatoes as well. I haven't been to this place in 5 years, but if there's one thing in this life that I know, it's that Thursday is meatloaf day at Kleer-Vu. Items I failed to mention include: roast beef, baked ham, ribs, spaghetti, fried fish, baked apples, fried tomatoes, cabbage, black-eyed peas, turnip greens, mac and cheese, pinto beans, beets, potato salad and coleslaw, but bein' that it's a meat n' 3 you probably would have assumed as much. They also offer pickled pigs feet everyday. People order it too. I've seen it happen.

I use to frequent this place when I was going to MTSU back around 2000. I'm now living in California and sometimes when visiting my family in Alabama I take the quick road trip to Murfreesboro to eat here. I miss the corn bread, yumm!! Kleervu holds some of the best memories of my time in Murfreesboro.

I've been coming here for years, when I'm on this side of town. The fried chicken is amazing and so is the hot water cornbread. Desserts are also to die for. The place is always packed with customers. The only downside is is I've seen roaches more than a few times, but it's an OLD building so I guess those are inevitable.....

What can I say that others haven't. Best soul food in Murfreesboro. In the running for best restaurant in Murfreesboro period. Apples are great as is the fried chicken and catfish. Friendly staff.

Kleervu is a down-home restaurant. Honestly, I wasn't blown away on either of my first two visits, but I will be going back. The food was good, but many of the vegetables look and taste canned. Meatloaf was delicious. Fried chicken was average. The hot water cornbread is good. Prices are quite fair and the place is very clean. Great staff. The line moves fast. It doesn't really stand out among the meat-n-threes in middle TN, but it is a solid option.

Kleer Vu is the epitome of what a good Southern lunchroom should be. Great food and staff with a warm feeling that'll make you feel like you're in someone's grandma's kitchen - probably because you are.

I admit it. I am from North of the Mason Dixon. I love authentic true food. No chain restaurants - gimme a diner, dive, or roadside place that let's the food speak for itself. You will get as an authentic an experience here as your will ever get. This is a Southern-Soul-Food-Grease-Haters-Beware-Decadence. You will even get a side of sass thrown in if you arrive at the counter and don't know what you want to eat. They will tell you to make up your "damn mind" as they so nicely say. It's there way of saying its all good and you won't go wrong. I usually choose to let them plate what they think is the best. Tell em a meat in 3 that they would have for their lunch and you wont be disappointed. There will always be a line but the locals are entertainment enough to just watch. It is worth asking the folks in line what they are going to have. Everyone will say something different that is the best. My first time there I asked the guy beside me if it was worth waiting in line. His response (add southern draaaaawl as you read this) "I ask myself that every weekday I eat here. I reckon it is worth it"

Ahhh, good comfort food. My mom introduced me to this place when I was still in High School, she worked at the hospital down the street so she came here every so often. The place has a nice feel to it, and was busy each time I went. It is set up like a cafeteria and the ladies dish up your servings for you. The hot-water cornbread was awesome and that alone would have me coming back. I've tired so many dishes here over time and would recommend any of them for a first timer or anyone curious to try Kleervu. Definitely worth waiting for- you will leave full- caution: food coma eminent!

I've had great food, and not so great food... hit or miss
(4)Devo T.
I knew it was going to be a great place when I saw a line of locals wrapped around the building 15 minutes before they opened on a Thursday. I'm new around here, but everyone says that Kleer Vu is the best meant & three in town, and I'm sure that's the case! The fried chicken was amazing. The hot-water cornbread was to die for. This is the place to go for great comfort food and a cozy local feel. The ladies in charge are a great combination of friendly and sassy.

This place i prefer more than Jeff's. Great Soul food experience! especially for Northern folk.

First came in and appreciated the family owned atmosphere. I got some Baby back ribs, fried chicken, mash potatoes, and nice pinto beans. First the ribs were the best I have ever tasted! They fall right off the bone and the BBQ sauce on them is heaven. The fried chicken tasted good, not great, but good. The mash potatoes are real and freshly made, no out of a tin can mash potatoes. Lastly the beans were nice and heartwarming for me, great beans indeed. This little place is a great history-piece of the Boro, as it's been here since the 80's maybe even longer than that. If you want real southern soul food, then this is a place to try! Note- they change what they serve depending on the day of the week. I came in on a Friday.

I have been here many time with friends that wish to eat here, after my first time coming I was not sold. The food was a typical meat and three, which is delicious if you have never been to one, but here in the south there is better. " Jeff's is better" and right down the street!! Meat and threes should have a warm family atmosphere, this place has a grumpy old lady shoveling slop out of a can on your plate! Recommendation-try it there is no harm in this, but I warn you the service is terrible!
(1)John L.
First time here with a friend who has been here a couple of times. The food was incredibly bland as if no salt had been used. My friend agreed that this meal was bland and it usually is better. I had the fried chicken, mac and cheese, green beans, and corn bread. The total was $7.67. Everything was bland and needed more salt. The corn bread especially tasted like fried flavorless mush.
(2)Devon H.
I want to like this place... It has a very cool atmosphere. However, I got food poisoning after eating here without a doubt. I had the fried chicken, mac n cheese, and turnip greens.
(1)Susie A.
The food is really good here! Good old southern home cooking. Lots of variety. The staff can come across very rude, but I think it's just because they are trying to hurry people along since there is usually a long line. Sometimes there is no place to sit and in the summer it gets very hot in there. However, the food is worth it!
(4)Timothy B.
When I first moved to Murfreesboro, I saw this place and thought it was a hilarious name, but when I tried the food I was very surprised. The southern style / soul food there is fantastic! The atmosphere is like a lunchroom, I guess the name is appropriate. The workers there are very warm hearted. Kleervu is definitely in my top 5 places to eat in Murfreesboro. If you haven't been yet, you are missing out!

Kleervu is one of the best meat and three's in Middle Tennessee; it is certainly the best in Murfreesboro. It's been there since 1940something, serving up soul food and Southern favorites to everyone from college kids to white collar and blue collar workers alike. Nearly 15 years elapsed between my previous visit and my most recent one, but not a thing had changed. Even at 1:30 on a Wednesday the lunch crowd was respectable. I had no trouble getting my food and a table, but even if they had been busy, I'd imagine I would've been moved along with the efficiency you would expect from people who have been working there for decades. The hot water cornbread is some of my favorite cornbread; the texture and flavor are unique. Served in portions about the size of a deck of cards, the outside has a wonderful crisp and the inside is soft, light and just a hint of sweet. It doesn't taste like the butter and salt you expect from southern cornbread -it's just different, and very very good. Today I had the fried chicken. The chicken, even though sitting on the steam table, was moist and the skin was coated with just the right amount of breading and fried in fresh cooking oil; I could taste the seasonings in the breading instead of the other fried foods that had been cooked in the oil. I selected turnip greens (my all-time fave) and macaroni and cheese for my sides. They were each Southern as can be: the mac and cheese was creamy and soft and the greens were rich with bacon fat and quite tender. In somewhat unrelated news, I don't recommend this place if you're on a diet. Actually, I guess there is one thing that has changed in between my visits; the prices have gone up. I don't think they've outpaced inflation, but with a drink, my meat and two came to $10.42, not quite the deal I remember, but still a price I'd be willing to pay the next time I find myself in the area.

Maybe my expectations were too high but I'd have to rate it as okay. I was really looking forward to becoming a regular but I'm still on a mission for soul food in m-boro. I had whiting(too many bones/fishy) greens, white beans, and mac and cheese.
(2)Jeremy A.
This is as old school lunchroom as you can get. The place is converted into a restaurant from a house it seems and you really get the feeling you are eating in someones living room. They rotate the menu and the BBQ Ribs sell out fast, so get early if you want to get them here. I went with the BBQ pork shoulder which came with creamed corn / macaroni and cheese. Everything was great and if I make it back to Murfreesboro, Ill be back to get some catfish next time!
(4)The Main Reviewer X.
Oh how I want to give a great review but I just can't. Let me first say that the food is awesome. The hot water cornbread is soooooo great! Sadly we will not be returning to enjoy this super delicious soul food. :-( The problem is the location and the owner. It is off of E Main St but is smack dab in the ghetto. Last time I was there, across the street were 2 groups of young guys yelling at each other from the opposite street corners. I don't know if they were gangs or what, but I was afraid somebody was going to get shot or stabbed or something. This was lunchtime in broad daylight!! It was extremely unnerving and while the food is good, it's not worth a bullet wound. Also the owner apparently inherited the business from her mother and sadly lacks the "personal touch." I don't know if she just doesn't like white people or what but I saw her be condescending and extremely rude to every single white person including myself that was in line. It's setup cafeteria style and she is the person that was running the cash register and everytime I've seen her there she was always like this but I just wanted to chalk it up to her having a bad day or something, but finally I realized, this is how I've seen her be for years so I just had to accept that if she doesn't value us as customers, then we won't be her customers. Money is green, not white or black, so when you run a business you need to get over any issues you have with people and focus on being glad you have customers who appreciate your product. It's too bad really. Alot of people I know absolutely LOVE the food there but refuse to go because of these 2 issues.

Meat and three. Hot water cornbread was a good accompaniment with pintos and greens. Fried chicken wasn't too shabby and the lemon icebox and chocolate icebox pie were a great way to finish it all off. I would go back.
(3)Robin G.
I am so mad that I didn't know of this place when I lived in the boro! Now that I'm living in the land of "What's a meat and 3??" I love coming here when I'm in town! I always eat way too much tho and am so full I'm miserable when I leave but it's totally worth it. I love love love their sweet tea and peach cobbler!
(5)Paige s.
Love the food sad I am on a diet!!!!!!! I want all the carbs, Dressing and hot-water cornbread plz! Make sure you have plenty of time, they move at their own rate, and do Not expect them to smile or be curtius, unless your someones cousins aunts brothers uncle. Peace!
(4)Robyn D.
This is food that cannot be beat in our area! As a New Orleans native, it's nice to find a place that's HOME COOKED and not a chain. You will LOVE this place. Go!
(5)Dale N.
I really enjoy Kleer-Vu. It can sometimes be hit and miss, but more than often it's a hit. Meat & 3's are scattered through out Murfreesboro, but for my money this is the best. It has more of the soul food feel to it than others. Fried Chicken is very good, vegetables are usually well cooked and not over cooked. The Hot Water Cornbread is always a subject of conversation for those who have never heard of it or had it. One warning. The sweet tea is, SWEET! We're talking diabetic coma sweet so, be warned. Lunch is always a great time to go and you could see anyone there from politicians, to famous people to the locals.
(4)Virginia P.
Best Mac and cheese ever. Best baked chicken ever. Great atmosphere. Quick (if it isn't a super busy time) and cheap cheap cheap. Fried okra oh ma god.

No chitterlings (chitlins?) when I came in for lunch, but they did have pig feet! And Precious, I was hungry. I got the meat and two, and when I picked out pig feet, the ladies behind the counter all offered to have me taste some before I committed. Apparently the stereotypes about Chinese people eating everything under the sun (wasn't there recently an article about soaking chicken eggs in virginal boy urine as a local delicacy?) has not hit the South yet. The two feet were piping hot and served with hot sauce/vinegar. It might not look like the most appetizing thing, but if you love oxtail or pho with tendon, you will be a fan of this stuff. Nuggets of luscious meat sandwiched between plenty of tendon and skin, mm. I was definitely not as good at finishing off the pig feet as my co-worker, but it was a solid meal that strangely enough tasted healthier than the fried chicken. If you don't want to opt for the more traditional soul food elements, there was also white fish, saucy ribs, mysterious "chicken and sauce." For sides, I went with mac n' cheese and turnip greens, both of which were NOT on the salty side, which I appreciated. Corn bread is a white corn meal fried up in little dollops. I prefer the sweeter and more grainy ones that can be fried up, but these were good with a splash of sauce. Washed it all down with some unsweet tea and definitely no room for their dessert spread. Comes out to about $10 after tax and whatnot.

If you are looking for food your grandmother used to make this is the place. The fried chicken is yummy! Love the atmosphere and the staff is great!
(4)Michael D.
Anything here is amazing...but have the cobbler!
(5)Dave H.
Classic, old school style Southern/Soul food. If you're from the South, you'll know what a meat & 3 is. This is one of the best. Great staff, classic home cooked recipes, and large helpings. When I worked in downtown Murfreesboro, I would go by Keervu for lunch often. It was always busy because locals, from doctors and lawyers to regular blue collar guys, know that this is where the good food is. If you're not from the South and want to sample real, grandma cooked Southern food, this is where you go.
