About Us

Our History

1985

The original Toot's location in Murfreesboro, Tennessee opened its doors on October 29th, 1985, making it the oldest full-service restaurant in Rutherford County. Toot's introduced Buffalo Wings to the Middle Tennessee area (they were only 10¢ apiece at the time!)

The original Toot's restaurant was the location for several memorable events during this time. Two people who had met at Toot's decided to have their wedding on the bar at Toot's in 1988. Famed D.J. Wolfman Jack was given the key to the city of Murfreesboro on the bar at Toot's in 1991.

A portion of the original "Are you ready for some football?" Monday Night Football opening routine was filmed at Toot's in 1992, and the Jukebox that was used now hangs in the dining room.

1993

Our first franchise is located on Scottsville Rd in Bowling Green, KY. A former Golden Corral, it was remodeled and it opened in November 18, 1993 and was an immediate hit with the community.

In 2004, the owners decided to do an exterior building remodel to more modernize the look and enhance the restaurant's appearance.

Bowling Green is home of Western Kentucky University.

 

1995

Our second franchise was opened in November 1995 in Loveland, Ohio – a suburb of Cincinnati.

Located on a few miles from the famous Paramount's Kings Island amusement park, the current Cincinnati Toot's building is a 100 year old former dairy barn that served the cattle farms that once populated the area. That area is now covered with retail, restaurants, and residential development.

 

2003

We opened our 4th location in Smyrna on Sam Ridley Parkway, making it our second location in Rutherford County, Tennessee. It's modern design flows all the way back to our kitchen where we installed a state of the art TVA approved all electrical commercial kitchen.

Customers can also have a rest in our airplane seats straight off of a commercial jet and donated by the Smyrna Airport.
