Our Legacy

Great food always has a history.  Ours began in 1943 when Jim Demos at 9 began working in his father’s restaurant.  As Greek immigrants, the Demos’ knew the importance of offering exceptional food with authentic ingredients at quality prices.  Jim worked there through his teenage years then served in the Army before marrying the love of his life, Doris.  Years later, Jim would revisit his culinary upbringing by operating a series of restaurant franchises.  Jim and Doris dreamed of creating a new culinary concept emphasizing affordable entrees made with family recipes and delivering service that consistently exceeded expectations.  The first Demos’ Restaurant opened in Murfreesboro, TN in 1989 with Jim refining the kitchen and menu while Doris developed the service systems.  The success of this restaurant prompted the opening of three more locations: Nashville (1992), Lebanon (2001) and Hendersonville (2005).  The preservation of Jim and Doris’ vision as the company has grown has been consistently proven in the presentation of dozens of awards for food quality and service year after year.
