Goodness Gracious Restaurant and Catering Opens in Early August at Fountains at Gateway

New location offers indoor and outdoor dining, meeting room, and takeout and catering services

Goodness Gracious Restaurant and Catering, a family-owned and chef-run Southern gourmet restaurant, will open at Fountains at Gateway early this month, announced developer Scott Graby, president of Hearthstone Properties.

Owned and operated by Eric and Nicole Ford, Goodness Gracious will serve a full menu of from-scratch starters, entrees, hot and cold sides, and an array of desserts. Goodness Gracious also provides catering, from small drop-offs to full catering services.

“We are excited and nearly ready to continue serving our customers at our new location at Fountains at Gateway,” said Nicole Ford. “With more days of operation, we welcome customers to come visit us and satisfy their cravings for cinnamon swirl pancakes, filled strawberries, gouda grits, Monte Cristo, and all of Eric’s delicious creations. As we move into our new, customized restaurant space, we can assure our customers that our family atmosphere, food and love of the business will remain the same.”

The new Goodness Gracious at Fountains is located in a 3,029-square-foot space in the MMC building. The restaurant will seat more than 80 people inside and includes a small, upscale, private meeting room. Guests are welcome to enjoy outdoor dining on the patio, and takeout services are also available. The interior buildout of the restaurant is nearly complete, and the Fords will announce the grand opening date on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

“Our relationship with the Fords and their family goes back decades, having been a fan of their Southern comfort food during the Front Porch Café era back in the 1990’s,” said Graby. “We had the privilege of being their landlord when they rebranded to Goodness Gracious and moved to Northfield Blvd. After a stint running their restaurant at the Readyville Mill, we invited Eric and Nicole to return to Murfreesboro and continue their legacy at Fountains. As our sixth locally owned eatery at Fountains, Goodness Gracious epitomizes the wholesome and homegrown style that enhances the fabric of our city’s dining scene.”
