Restaurants in Franklin

“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”

“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!”

“Fresh, healthy and tasty food is always in my top priority list and Fountain pool maintains it. So for that we got fresh foom.”

“Great food and service. Good wine list”

“Great for a delicious beer in between shopping ! Recommend Honky Tonk .. food looks and smells amazing .. Josh very friendly and great !! Thanks all!”

“Cole and Hannah did an incredible job. Food was outstanding!!”

“Always yummy! Tried the grits for the first time and they were pretty good. The food came hot and tasted great. The only thing is that we walked away with our carryout order without anyone handing us our cup for a drink. We had to go back to get it.”

“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!”

“Awesome show and actors Great night of fun”

“Atmosphere, food, and service are incredible. It’s pricey! Portions definitely do not equal the price… and the coffee is GOOD. But I wouldn’t say super far above average.

Service was amazing - we wanted to sit somewhere more quiet and they gave us a little private spot outside. THANK YOU!!

But other than that. Definitely recommend the visit!”

“Cozy bar with delicious food, big portions and a great atmosphere. The gluten-free menu was phenomenal! Highly recommend!!”

“Always have a good experience! Great food. Excellent service. Never had a bad meal😀”

“Love this place. This is our go to heading in to Nashville. Haven’t had a bad experience once. Highly recommend for those who enjoy a meat and 3.”

“The best gyro in Franklin!!! Portions were filling and the restaurant was clean. Rady was a great host and very friendly!!! I will come back when I need another gyro fix!!!”

“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.”

“Literally the best Bolognese! My husband had the Wagu short rib ravioli and it was amazing too. Our server was so sweet and knowledgeable. First rate experience! Very reasonably priced and very very good cocktails and wine selection”

“We just celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary dinner on Friday evening. We were impressed from the moment we sat down at the table. Our main server was Demetrius and Bella was the one who cut our chops and explained about the chop as she did the cutting. Vernon was not our server yet stopped by a few times just to make sure all was well. Everyone who came to the table told us Happy Anniversary and to let them know if there is anything we needed. The food was delicious, ambiance was wonderful and the staff made our meal special to us. This was our first time and we will highly recommend to all our friends and we WILL be back😊”

“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 !!!”

“Excellent environment, food and service. Be sure to stop in especially if you’d like to watch some sports. It was awesome.”

“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!!!”

“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!”

“Came here after seeing it recommended by friends. Amazing food, great service, and perfect portion sizes!!! Our server Thomas was awesome and recommended some great wines for our meal. Will definitely be back!”

“Went there today with my brother. I’m from St. Louis. Sally was our server. She is absolutely amazing! She had a 12-15 top plus other tables. And never missed a beat. If you go here, ask for Sally you won’t regret it. I personally recommend the chorizo queso. And if you like spicy, the ooey gooey is for you.”

“First time eating here today. The food was delicious and the service was excellent 😁”

“Amazing place. Chicken salad, sausage roll, the lattes, everything is delicious. 10/10 food and service. Thankful for this local coffee shop!”

“It was my bday. My coffee-cured filet came out med/med well when I asked for it med rare and it took her almost 8 min to come back to check that my steak was overcooked and the server rolled her eyes like I was annoying her. And it came back undercooked.We waited on our server to order desert. We boxed our own food which is maybe how they do that at Stoney River. And our creme brulee tasted great, but the top wasnt even warm. Just overall disappointing for the amount of money spent and for a special occasion. I wouldn't go back.”

“Amazing food! Excellent service!”

“Great lunch with the family. Ended up celebrating Mom's birthday! CAMERON (Cam) my man.... stellar service. will ask for you. Made our lunch an exceptional experience. As always.. the food was FAB!!”

“Visited Stable in April 2024. Nice vibe. Staff was top-notch. The flight was a great sampler. Would definitely come back!”

“Best in Franklin tn 👍🤔👏”

“Kiersten(sp?) is amazing and sets the perfect tone for this place as soon as you walk in - so friendly! I told her I love pistachio and she recommended the Doc Brown, which was divine 😍 Also, kudos to the owners for the music playlist! I heard several Empress Of songs and she’s my favorite artist ever. Love this place!”

“Great place to have a fabulous drink. They provide great quality service. You will enjoy this place.”

“This is my second year in a row ordering cakes from Miss Latonya. They are 100% worth the cost they are so delicious. She is always very responsive and accommodating. Her work is outstanding and I will forever recommend her !”

“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!”

“We are from Malaysia and this restaurant is definitely the best! It is consistently delicious. Service is great.”

“Best pizza I have ever eaten!! A little of wait but definitely worth it.”

“fort gratiot pita way is awesome. my 1st time there & they helped me build a perfect bowl. I highly recommend!!”

“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???”

“Absolutely perfect! After my then-fiancee and I selected out cake flavor, I only had to share 2 reference photos with Nicole and Madison absolutely nailed it. This was the best tasting wedding cake both my husband and I had ever had and our family and friends agreed. I think we will use them at our reception on our anniversary and any other time we are in need of desserts. Madison understood the assignment and delivered. I have no notes at all. Just excited to use this shop again for future events.”

“THE BEST FRESHEST FOOD IN CULLMAN !! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“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.”

“From the moment we entered the staff was great and our server Sam was top notch the wings were great and the pizzas were great as well 5 stars Will definitely be Back!!! Ask for Sam you won’t be disappointed”

“Just drove an hour to try this place, and I would do it again. 10/10. Amazing service, amazing food, great atmosphere. The Caribbean patties were the best, and their take on the old fashioned was superb. Will 100% be back.”

“Good service, conversational atmosphere, fair sized and flavorful food to go along with the drink”

“We went to the Rutledge for the 1st time last Saturday…what a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere, food and service were truly outstanding. Stephen was our waiter, made us feel welcome and took very good care of us. And the food was prepared with care and quite delicious. A fantastic experience and we’ll definitely be back.”

“As always, we had delicious food and great service!”

“This was my wife's idea. I know, shocking that a wife can decide where to eat. LOL It was an excellent choice. We ate way more that we needed, but wanted to try multiple things on the menu. This ain't exactly what we usually eat, and wanted to hone in on what we order for future visits. I'll just get the beef soup next time, but with extra beef. It was delicious. My wife will get a steamed bun and we'll share seared pork and cabbage dumplings.”

“This is not a coffee house. It's a coffee home. ❤️☕️”

“Thanks to Edleys on Woodland for their kindness today! My young neice accidentally left her small handbag on the bench, and we were over two hours away when she realized that she'd left it. I called the restaurant and offered to send payment for shipping if they would mail it. They plan on mailing it to her Monday...no charge, compliments of the restaurant! They didn't have to do that, but it is so appreciated, and our food and service were great too. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you Edleys BBQ!!”

“The folks here were extremely accommodating to our emergency need for a medium-sized venue for our HS class reunion we held recently. We were offered a wide variety of food options and beverages and full access to their attached Wine & Spirits shop for craft beers, wines and other liquors by the bottle. I highly recommend this place for wedding showers, private parties, or other social events! Manager Rusty was amazingly helpful in planning, setting up and executing the entire package.”

“Tried the campfire coffee today literally the best drink I’ve ever had!!”

“This place has great service and food. Went for a lunch, and got the ahi tuna appitizer and it was fire.

The place unfortunately smells like sweaty gym socks tho.”

“I had tantanmen at otaku ramen and was amazed at the Japanese level! The soup soaked into whole my body and I drank it all up.”

“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”

“Fantastic service and fantastic food ❤️. We will be back ❤️. Love the Baja sauce ❤️. All the food was great ❤️. Thank you 🙏”

“The food is excellent, best biscuits, most of all Suzanne and staff is outstanding welcoming everybody—the only place in Franklin area where breakfast is the best!!!! Five star rating!!!!”

“I had a great breakfast at Fika Cafe. Everything tasted fresh, and you could tell it was made with care, they also fixed my bacon extra crispy how I like it...The food came out hot, the portions were satisfying, and the overall experience was enjoyable. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving a good breakfast. Highly recommend!”

“Great food and service! We had a party of 13 women for brunch last weekend. The food was delicious and service was fantastic. I honestly expected it to be slow due to the group size but our waitress had it under control!”

“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.”

“¡Excelente! The birria is amazing! Bring cash! Tacos, quesadillas, burritos - it is all delicious!”

“Amazing bakery and a beautiful location!”

“Clean, delicious food! Staff noticed my friend gave me a Bday present so they brought me their Bronuts! Thanks so much! Great place!”

“Miss Daisy's is AMAZING!!! I tried the Chicken Devine, the hashbrown casserole, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, and the Turkey and Dressing! Everything was Delicious. We are so lucky to have this as an option for tasty homemade food.”

“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.”

“Our waitress was so friendly, attentive, and compassionate. She was super fast and made sure we were well taken care of! 10/10 food!!! (she had a purple bob). Can’t wait to come back soon!”

“Delicious!! Love the ambiance!”

“Hermitage TN location. I had their Signature salad which is only available Fri-Sun. This time I had it with shrimp and OMG soooo good. I always get this pasta dish with chicken but the shrimp was so much better. Wish they would have it during the week too!!”

“Great food and great atmosphere! This will definitely be a go to place when we are down this way!”

“the best donut I've ever had, need a location in the Chicago area.”

“Best beer in the COUNTRY (at least in ten states). They will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF! Went NYE for the Balloon Drop with on a family Christmas trip, BEER REFINED. Staff is amazing, friendly even for Tennessee. Fast service with smiles for miles. Must go for any beer or cider fanatic, especially the Michigan microbrewery enthusiast. The art is not lost.”

“My family loves this little gem right in downtown Franklin. My husband is British and this is his go to place when he wants a taste of home - especially fish and chips (he says the tartar sauce seals the deal). We’ve sampled other staples like cottage pie and chicken tenders and everything has been lovely. The dining room is small and cozy so sometimes it’s a bit crowded (especially on trivia night) but we’ve rarely had a problem squeezing in. Waitstaff is friendly and the decor really sells the Irish pub atmosphere. I don’t usually order drinks beyond an occasional hard cider, but there are lots of offerings which I am sure are equally as good as the food.”

“We love the authentic food and friendly owners. Carne Asada tacos and my go to every time.”

“THE BEST FRESHEST FOOD IN CULLMAN !! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“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!”

“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 ;)”

“I am from Utah, had the opportunity to dine at The White Alligator on Feb 13, had the Muffaletta Sandwich and Jambalaya, I found both to be very tasty and was equally impressed with the attentiveness to service. The Jambalaya really got my attention! Thanks!”

“First time eating here today. The food was delicious and the service was excellent 😁”

“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.

“The food is delicious. My second time trying this company out.”

“Came here last week, and had the most delicious iced whipped honey latte. The ratio of sweet to coffee was perfect - no changes I would have made, and it’s rare to get a latte and experience that! Most are way too sweet, but Hank’s was just right. You get to truly appreciate all of the flavors and not just be hit with the sensation of sweet.
Cute atmosphere inside; felt like a community hang out spot. And the fresh flowers in each table were a lovely touch!”

“So good & very fresh!🤩 Big plates & friendly staff too!☝🏼👏🏼”

“where do we start?! Our first visit & Andrew took our order & made our delicious food!! He has impeccable customer service & gave great recommendations. The food is priced right, generous portions & the decor and music was especially fun for us 80’s teenagers. We will be going back very soon, thankful it’s close to home!”

“the food was awesome and hot...the staff was friendly. I highly recommend this place for there wonderful food and people...”

“We had such a fantastic experience at Culinary Dropout! The food was excellent—the burger was spot-on, and the steak and fries were cooked perfectly—and the Tijuana Spa Water cocktail was amazing. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was our waitress, Kendall. She was an absolute ray of sunshine. Her energy was warm, genuine, and uplifting, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. What impressed us even more was watching her interact with every table around us with the same intentional care and enthusiasm. It wasn’t just great service—it’s clearly who she is. Kendall truly brightened our day, and because of her (and the incredible food and drinks), we can’t wait to come back.”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I recently went there for the first time and both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I had the tacos which are a must try. The service was top notch and you could tell the servers and bartenders are working as a team. I hope to make it back soon to enjoy some live music!”

“We are visiting Franklin from Dallas and stopped by this sweet icecream parlor. Talk about Southern hospitality- we stopped by with our 3 kids and niece and nephew and the shop wasn’t open quite yet, the owner popped out and told us to come on in. The kids were so excited, the owner was so kind, and the ice cream was delicious! Can’t wait to stop again and support this amazing small business!”

“Katie was awesome and made some wonderful drinks. Tirzah was a wonderful server who made the stay fantastic and personalized. Cory gladly put some nature channels on for a chill vibe! Loved seeing the hummingbirds with my watermelon drink 🍸 😋 😍. Dinesh was also a phenomenal server with fast turn around and great suggestions. Definitely coming back and recommend whole heartedly!!!!”

“Love the cause! Thank you”

“Good burger and shake (fries are meh) but not worth the headache of navigating the mass of people and limited seating. Definitely suggest trying to go on off hours but still expect it to be busier than similar joints.”

“Wow, must try restaurant!! I went to the Taco Shop for the first time with family. We all loved our food. We received the best service. The host was so great. We were checked on even sitting outside. We got tacos, quesabirrias, and birria ramen. It all came out so quick and fresh! We will be going back!”

“This is a sleeper here. You might not see it if you don't land in the parking lot in this campus, but it's very much worth the detour to get there. One of the best coffees I have had in a very very long time, and the staff is just wonderful. People talked. They said hi. They introduced themselves. Lucas is very kind, and he makes a hell of a coffee.

See y'all again.

Vaughn”

“This was the 3rd time having Roma and just like the very 1st time, the food did not disappoint. The food is amazing and more importantly... consistent. Our favorite is Artichoke and Fried Eggplant and the Pepperoni and Bacon Pizzas. The prices are unbeatable and the service is always so wonderful. Thank you Roma for providing consistently delicious food each and every time!”

“So happy I found this place!! Coming from scottsdale all I had for years was meal plans and fitness I was really hoping to find a hyper local place that delivered fresh, macro based meals. They have a good variety.”

“Handel's Ice cream started in Youngstown Ohio. I grew up enjoying THE BEST ICE CREAM IN THE USA in my hometown. Now franchised nationally. The Franklin store is new. If you want the BEST ICE CREAM go to HANDEL'S !!!!!”
