“Went there for the first time tonight to celebrate a family birthday. Staff were very friendly and competent. Food was REALLY good, and good value for money too. Creative fusion at its best in Tapas format. Vibe was local, not touristy. We live close by, and will definitely return. Highly recommend”
“It was such a fun, different experience. The actors were amazing. I recommend everybody go see them! Definitely a great night!”
“Food was amazing. Every dish except one out of this world! But the thing that set it over the top and will cause me to tell the world about this place. The reason I will return was Jared our server! I’ve been many places around the world. High end establishments all over. His service was exceptional and by far among the best! After you book your reservation request Jared as your server !!!”

“Food was fresh and delicious, made to order. Customer service was on point. They were inviting to try samples, patient as decisions were made and very kind during production! Would definitely eat there again!”
“My group of nine ate lunch at Gray’s on Main on Saturday. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. All members of my group raved about their selections.”
“I have been to this restaurant many times and went last night for my birthday with my family. The coffee encrusted filet is phenomenal and this is the only place I have ever seen it. Along with the scalloped potatoes side and the artichoke dip for an appetizer I was so pleased. Everyone enjoyed what they got whether it was the salmon, French onion soup, or other steaks. Our server was so kind and attentive and found out it was my birthday so gave me a free dessert along with champagne and a card signed by the staff. We will be back again before my next birthday for sure!”

“This restaurant graciously accommodated our very large family in a matter of minutes - transformed their small dining area just for us. We had a terrific meal, it was affordable and our vegetarian relatives were very happy too. Thank you, Felour, for your amazing hospitality and food!”
“How refreshing to find an Indian buffet again that is actually delicious. House of India may very well now be the beat Indian Reataurant in the Nashville area. Friendly staff, appropriately flavorful and spicy dishes (even on the buffet). So many buffets I've been to in recent years are overly sweet and bland. Not this place. If you used to go to Bombay Palace more than a decade ago, this is like that. Same owners in fact. So good.”

“I eat a LOT of Indian food and I have literally tried every restaurant in Williamson Cty and many of them in Davidson et al....Service is top notch, staff are super friendly and the quality of food can't be beat....PLUS, if you eat super spicy like I do, there is NO OTHER PLACE that cooks like Persis Cool Spgs!!!”

“This is our go-to. Unique and excellent menu. I NEVER eat turkey except: A. For Thanksgiving, and B. When we're at Kokomo. Theirs is ridiculous.”
“We've been here several times and consistently have a good experience. Asked for some help picking out the charcuterie and it was great (hot honey goat cheese was my favorite). Old fashioned was good. We got several of the small plates to share and those with the hot honey was enough of a meal for the 2 of us. We've tried several of the pastas and entrees before and enjoyed those, just didn't have room this time. Usually busy at dinner time so I always try to set up a reservation. Will definitely be back.”

“Tonight my friends and I had the pleasure of being served by Anna at J. Alexander’s in Franklin, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we sat down at the bar, she greeted us with a friendly smile and made us feel comfortable right away!
Our cocktails were excellent. Each one was perfectly mixed, presented beautifully, and tasted great. Anna was attentive without hovering, checking in at the right times and making sure we had everything we needed. She remembered our drink preferences after just one order and kept our waters filled without us having to ask. She also offered helpful suggestions for cocktails we might enjoy, which we really appreciated.
We come to J. Alexander’s a couple of times a week and have always had good service, but Anna stood out. She is professional, approachable, and clearly takes pride in her work! The atmosphere at the bar felt even more welcoming because of her.
It is not just about the drinks, it is about the overall experience, and Anna made ours great from start to finish. We truly enjoyed having her as our bartender and will definitely be asking for her again on future visits.
If you want excellent cocktails and friendly, attentive service, Anna is a great choice. She made our evening even better, and we look forward to seeing her again soon!”

“My wife and I celebrated our 24th anniversary with dinner at Cork & Cow. Everything, EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect. Our reservation was for 9pm. We walked in at 8:45 and were seated immediately. Mike, our server, was quick to greet us and made excellent suggestions. I already knew I wanted the bone-in ribeye, but I wasn't settled on an appetizer. Mike suggested the pork belly: ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. My wife ordered the filet. Both steaks were well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Dessert didn't seem likely, since I was starting to feel full, but I overheard another server mention a chocolate torte that had peanut butter mousse, so. . . O. M. G. As if the food and service weren't good enough, we were back in our hotel room by 9:45.”
“We had a wonderful experience for my birthday dinner, food was excellent, I highly recommend the pork chops, you will not be disappointed! Shout out to Jessie our waiter, so much class that made our night phenomenal! We coming back Jessie!”
“We stopped today for a late lunch. I cannot speak highly enough of this restaurant. First of all the service and hospitality were first class. Extremely clean. A nice selection on the menu. The food was outstanding. Absolutely phenomenal to be honest. This was a fabulous experience and we will definitely be back.”

“Updated Review: Biscuit Love in Franklin (Manager: Noing)
📍132 3rd Ave S, Franklin, TN 37064
Biscuit Love Franklin is so much more than just great food it’s the kind of place that makes you feel genuinely welcome. A big reason for that is the amazing manager, Noing (pronounced like “Noi-ng”). She’s originally from Thailand, and her name might even reflect her sweet, petite presence “Noi” in Thai means “small,” and it fits her perfectly in the most endearing way.
From the moment you walk in, she greets you with the warmest smile and treats you like you’re family. Even during the busiest rush, she’s incredibly efficient in the kitchen, yet somehow still finds time to connect with people on a personal level. It feels like walking into your grandmother’s house the food is comforting, and the hospitality is from the heart.
The entire staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is consistently outstanding. They also offer a military discount, which is a huge plus and deeply appreciated by the veteran community. If you're in Franklin, this is a must-visit especially for anyone who could use a little extra kindness with their biscuits.”
“There’s a LOT more than just juice here! Sandwiches, wraps, bowls, salads and smoothies too. We shared their breakfast sandwich and the immunity builder juice. Both were really good. My favorite was the chicken pesto sandwich - it was excellent! Great food, organic ingredients, warm and friendly folks - I highly recommend this place!”
“I was in last Friday and sat with Desiree, she was AMAZING! She was so sweet and helpful, she made great suggestions and was super patient (and not at all annoyed) with my gluten-free, dairy-free friend. Best service I've had in a really long time and the food was really good too.”
“Perhaps the best latte in Tennessee! Maybe the best I’ve ever had in general. What a great vibe and spacious too. Check this place out!”
“Absolutely fabulous experience!! The wine was AMAZING! Bread & feta was delicious. Pasta was also INSANE!! RJ was one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had!! Alex was awesome too!

“BrickTop's Cool Springs has a wide range of really good food at affordable prices. The entire staff from the top down are all amazing. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and very welcoming. Some of my favorites dishes are the fish tacos, grilled shrimp tacos, and so many other dishes at BrickTop's. The avocado toast and the donuts that are only served for Sunday Brunch are a favorite as well.”

“I ate here yesterday afternoon with a large group of friends (14). It was fabulous, and so nice to eat at a local, family owned restaurant here in Cool Springs which is mostly limited to chain restaurants. I called ahead of time to make sure they could accommodate us and spoke to Luke and he said he’d set aside seating for us. Luke ended up being our server, and he was very sweet and gracious to our rowdy table! We all mostly ordered different pizzas, although a few got pasta dishes, and I added wings to my pizza order. Most drank beer, a couple ordered wine. The pizzas were all very good! I got the Italian Stallion as my husband loves green olives and it had that as an ingredient along with Italian sausage, pepperoni, meatballs, salami and mushrooms. It was wonderful, the toppings were plentiful and the crust was perfect. Others ordered different specialty pizzas and had no complaints. I also got the traditional wings with a mild buffalo sauce and they were quite yummy. My son got the spaghetti & meatballs and it was a huge plate with 2 giant meatballs! He could only eat half of it so he had leftovers for another meal at home. Another person got the Mozzarella Caprese Salad, and the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. The pasta dishes came with homemade garlic knots. The beer selection is rather limited, if you like craft beers like our crowd does. They are mostly standard beers, so that’s the only recommendation I have, that they up their game on the beers and offer more options from local breweries. They were out of some of the limited ones they carry, but Luke explained they restock beers on Monday (we went on a Sunday so they were at the end of their supply by then). As far as the vibe, it was a perfect low key place to hang out with friends, drink beer and eat pizza etc, and watch football. There were plenty of TVs to watch the games. There were even fun video game machines if you’re into that. We really enjoyed Mineo’s - food, service, and vibe were all tops! It does take a little while to get your food but we understood with our big table, and it was nice anyway to not be rushed out the door (we stayed almost 2 1/2 hours!). So nice to support this local family owned restaurant!”
“We stopped today for a late lunch. I cannot speak highly enough of this restaurant. First of all the service and hospitality were first class. Extremely clean. A nice selection on the menu. The food was outstanding. Absolutely phenomenal to be honest. This was a fabulous experience and we will definitely be back.”
“We hired the Mojo’s Food Truck for a work event yesterday and they were phenomenal. It is so hard to please 100+ people, and they did so well. Service was exceptionally quick and portions were very satisfying. Our staff has asked for Mojo’s to come back to our future events.”
“I would love to state that these are cheap eats, but far from it. The menu is extremely affordable; however, the taste is richly delectable & applause worthy. @Kelsey @Troy @Mark Waldo @ChickenandBeer BRAVO! From start to finish, 20/10!! Thank you for an EXCEPTIONAL first of many experiences together!”
“The best donuts in the Nashville area! They’re absolutely delicious 😋🍩”
“Hands down the best! I can sum up this place with one word, that is Tony. Not #TonyVitello but Tony the owner and superstar sushi chef. I have personally seen him cut sushi for country superstars the same as he prepares for my kids. His "slogan" is "see you tomorrow" and I truly believe he means that to everyone that walks through his door. Thank you Tony!”
“Man I wish I took a picture of my plate! This is my second time I have eaten at brown bag. First of all, I am crazy happy to support such a great cause! But Morceau, their food is killer! Easily the very best lunch and all of Franklin it is so fresh and the food is all perfectly cooked. And for those who care, I also like that, they do have nutrition facts on their website, which makes it helpful to choose Wise foods on certain days. I will be back multiple times.”
“We had a great brunch here, Miss Debbie was incredibly hospitable and made our visit with two little kids go from chaos to calm with her kindness and above and beyond help. She brought fruit slices, helped us find a quiet space to help baby calm down, and was so attentive. We always feel like family when we dine at 55 South. Thank you for your amazing service!”
“First time there and the atmosphere was great and our waitress was awesome.”
“Fantastic service and fantastic food ❤️. We will be back ❤️. Love the Baja sauce ❤️. All the food was great ❤️. Thank you 🙏”

“Taziki’s originated in my city so it’s nice to support a local, home-grown business. I frequent the Med Center location in Birmingham. I love this place! It’s delicious food at great prices with excellent customer service….what more could you ask for? I’ve tried so many dishes that it’s hard to pick a favorite. From the grilled salmon feast, to the chicken kebobs, to the Turkish meatballs to those roasted red potatoes….there’s no wrong choice here. I’ve even purchased the family feasts and used them as meal prep. The possibilities are endless and delicious! Taziki’s..keep up the good work!”
“I have a severe alpha gal allergy and can’t have any mammal products and worry a lot about surprise ingredients and cross contamination. Previous to getting sick I ate there often and loved the hospitality, polite staff and amazing pizza. Today I went and expressed my desire to still have there pizza and ask for accommodation. They assured me they would wash everything and prevent cross contamination. They treated me with kindness and respect and made me feel very assured. I was excited to see they offered anchovies and that is a protein I can eat and really enjoyed it. These guys are great. Long story short 10/10. Please eat here”
“I'm from out of town and staying nearby so I decided to try Nachos. I got chicken and shrimp fajitas. The food was great! I even loved the guacamole (normally I don't bc they make it with onions). The service was even better than the food. I was well taken care of from the minute I walked in. I'll be back during my stay here.”
“I cannot even begin to say how amazing this place is. They spared no expense decorating and renovating this space. The food was fantastic and is very reasonably priced. They have a huge center bar and lots of Hibachi tables and seating if you are getting Sushi. PLUS a robot brought our food! Ask for Alec! He took great care of us!”
“Great place to have a fabulous drink. They provide great quality service. You will enjoy this place.”
“Ambiance is wonderful. Food is top notch. Service is delightful”
“We have driven by this place on the square in Franklin for years and had never stopped in. We ate there tonight and it was incredible. I think I ate the best plate of pasta that I have ever eaten.”
“Love this place. Tonight's service was decent. Our server was in training, a few hiccups but he was very nice.
My son and I had lunch there today and it was tasty”
“Outstanding, delicious hot pot and specialty Chinese dishes. You can get unusual things here, not the typical Americanized Chinese food. I loved the Build Your Own Pot bar so I could pick all my favorite soup ingredients! Stop in for a delightful culinary event!”
“Great experience. The staff was very attentive. The drinks were delicious . The food was very good too. Great place to sit and relax . Plus it was very clean”
“A quaint stop along the countryside! Love the little shops and cafes.”
“Great place for a lunch business meeting. Service was perfect which is what you need for a business meeting. Food was very good. Highly recommend for that special lunch venue.”
“The food and cocktails are amazing! Great service, excellent location. This is one of our favorite spots!”
“Excellent service and wonderful food! I had the farmers salad topped with salmon, it was fabulous!”
“It was very hot inside, like no air was on! Love this place and food but please turn the air on. The poor bartenders were sweating profusely! Felt so bad for them!”
“Sabrina, was absolutely wonderful, stunning personality! Her recommendations were spot on ! Our food was amazing and we never needed to ask or wait on anything,Sabrina was on it!! We will definitely be back and can only hope we have Sabrina as our server!”
“I love this place! It’s a great venue to meet some friends at and have some fun. Great food, drinks, entertainment, games and atmosphere:) 10 stars ⭐️ 🌟 💫 ⭐️ 🌟”
“The food was good. I highly recommend the turkey club. We were a party of four, two of us got it. The next night, we both wanted the turkey again, but they were out. I don’t know what the magic is, but I hope it’s on the menu next year when we’re back. Only downside was the long wait, either for a table or service; I think they were short handed.”
“5 stars all day long! We went for a girls night to celebrate our bride to be! The entire staff was so nice and so fun! The prices were not bad, we fully expected to overpay for average food and drinks but that was not the case. The food was so good! All our drinks were delicious and priced way more affordable than we thought it was going to be! The manager Jared came and checked on our table, he was so professional while remaining fun in the conversation. We will be back! I suggest getting desert too!”
“Nothing but great vibes in this bar.
Willie the bartender has a huge personality and he made sure I alway had a cold one in front of me.
This bar is full of regulars and they invited me to sit with them and made me feel very welcome. I can't remember all there names, I met everyone in the place. One stand out was Mia ( owner of victory tattoos) a local business.
I had a fantastic time talking with everyone. I travel for work and hope I can make it there again.
They have pool tables , a punching bag. You can smoke and they have a cigarette machine in case you run out.
I would give this fun place my highest recommendation.
Tell Willie Mean Frank says hello.”
“This is a jewel location in cool springs. Great atmosphere and vibe. The Cajun specific food is great as well. Only advice is to NOT order the green beans. Dumped straight out of a can and an embarrassment to this great place!”
“My husband went to o/charleys for dinner tonight. He got the chicken finger dinner, got me fish & chips. They were so over cooked, I had to break open and smell of each to know what was what. We eat there so often because we're both disabled, but they just lost a good customer. The puppy got full.....”
“WONDERFUL! Went today to the Franklin location for my birthday and sat in the kitchen so my son could experience it, and WOW! The service and food were amazing, our waitress was great and Kevin the manager really made our day, he was AMAZING!! I have been going to Buca for many years but this experience was one for the books!”
“I love their salad bar, and their soups are good too. Friendly staff. Great prices. Can't beat a great healthy lunch for under $20.”
“This place is very cool. Fantastic drinks great atmosphere awesome snacks and friendly servers. Love the way you have your flip a setting get in”
“Came in for the Gators watch party! Will be back every week! What a great time! The atmosphere was insane! Hopefully gators get it together. The south west egg rolls were delicious!! Nice drink specials considering drinks are pretty expensive here!”
“We didn't eat. We just went to play games. This is probably the cleanest Chuck E Cheese I have ever been in! Very impressive.
There were some games that weren't working. And we did have to wait a while to cash on the tickets as it seemed there was only one person taking orders for food and doing the tickets.
Overall, our kids had a great time!”
“My husband loved his rack of ribs. Our service was great! Just a little too spicy for me!”
“Not too happy, found what looks like a piece of metal/ earring back in my pregnant wifes sweet tea. Dangerous and scary makes me question practices here, and just makes me feel uneasy. Mistakes happen but a peice of metal? Really could have been bad. Thought about just leaving but our waiter was nice.”

“I was in last Friday and sat with Desiree, she was AMAZING! She was so sweet and helpful, she made great suggestions and was super patient (and not at all annoyed) with my gluten-free, dairy-free friend. Best service I've had in a really long time and the food was really good too.”
“I have been eating at this location for over 6 yrs and NEVER is there a NEW or added item. The menu remains the same. The majority of restaurants that ae visited, have new items added and in 6 yrs. this menu remains the same. Perhaps maybe I should go somewhere else to eat. I can not believe that this has not been brought to your attention long before now. When will a new item be added???”
“El Carbon is off the charts!!! I absolutely loved the carne asada quesadilla. It just melts in your mouth. And don't get me started on the tacos, which are arguably some of the best I've ever had north of the border. Be sure and try the salsas, which helped neutralize a blistering cold winter evening. Both the red and the green blend seamlessly with your meal. The drinks are superb too. The Pineapple version is my personal favorite. Let me tell you, this is the gold standard! The staff went above and beyond in recommending some of their favorites to me. Very warm and friendly. I used to live in Franklin but now it seems I have a legit excuse to come home and visit!! Do yourself a favor and get over to El Carbon. Make it your New Year's Resolution ;)”

“My family is from Chongqing so we always look for authentic Sichuan and hotpot restaurants when we travel. The owner was super nice and helpful and answered all of our questions. The food was authentic and delicious. Just like in Chongqing. The atmosphere is really nice and attractive. We wanted to come back for hotpot the next day but Popo's leg hurt and she couldn't walk so we had to cancel. I highly recommend any one who wants authentic Chinese food, typical fast food, to give this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!”

“The best coffee shop in Franklin, bar none. The sign of any good business is when the owner is always in there working just as hard as his employees, and Mr. Art exceeds that and then some. Iced Cuban is the best in the area. Pastries and breakfast tacos are A+, staff is so friendly that they’ll know you by name within a few visits, and the atmosphere is clean and relaxing with an easy to access/park location. Skip the Starbucks out front and take the few minutes to walk into Mr. Art’s—it’s worth it!!”
“The Glass Sparrow’s Nest is a divine comfort with elegance without the pomp & circumstance- very relaxing and they bring mini courses with perfect attentive timing.
We are frequent visitors and bring guests to share in the delightful high tea. We cannot say enough about this venue. The handmade tasty specialties are mouthwatering. Never disappoints. Fun to anticipate the next seasonal menu.
I tell everyone it is the best hidden gem!”
“We tried Slice House for the first time the other night, and it did not disappoint! They have a great outdoor seating area and a cozy vibe inside. What I loved most was that you can order premade fun, unique styles of pizza by the slice — it’s such a great way to try different options without committing to a whole pie (though you can order a full pizza too if you want!).
Every slice we tried was delicious. My husband is a very picky pizza person, and since we often review pizza places when we travel, his opinion carries some weight — and he rated this as one of his favorites! That says a lot, believe me. 🍕👏”
“Killer cocktails and an amazing high-end food menu, paired with great service from the staff equals a fantastic dining experience! Austin is the best bartender around!”
