Restaurants in Franklin

“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!”

“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”

“Great food and service. Good wine list”

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

“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.”

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

“we come here every week, typically not on a Sunday. However, we came today, and the manager Rose and her team took such great care of us. This is a weekly driver for my daughter and I. Always great service, quick food, and chill vibes.”

“Awesome show and actors Great night of fun”

“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!”

“This place was great! Matt was so kind and made a raw sugar syrup on the spot for me for my matcha. He was so knowledgeable and patient when I asked a bunch of questions about the drinks and ingredients in the syrups.
Highly recommend checking this place out.”

“Wow what a gem! We sampled each other’s food because it looked so amazing lol. Our waitress was so sweet. If I was really hungry I would still wait 45 mins for a seat there.”

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

“Best food around! Great service, everything on the menu can’t be beat and the atmosphere is fun. It’s our go to!”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“I have been coming here for years and love love this place!! Matthew (Matt) was an excellent waiter and helped us make a top notch decision on our pasta and red wine for the night! It was so delightful 🫶🏻”

“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 😁”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“Some of the best Italian food this side of Italy! Service was off the chart fantastic….very attentive but not obtrusive. The Bolognese with penne pasta was better than any of that we’ve had in bologna Italy!”

“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 👍🤔👏”

“Absolutely AMAZING food bursting with flavor.”

“Fantastic, friendly, hardworking employees who up a great breakfast fast! 5 Stars!”

“I love our local Waffle House! Great food and the hardest working people in the industry! Go Team WH!”

“The staff is very friendly. The food is fresh and delicious with homemade sauces. Nice, quiet atmosphere to enjoy dinner. The cheese wedges and Pepperoni pizza were fabulous!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Amazing art work highly recommended!!!! She knocked it out of the park!”

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

“This was my first time eating at Pita Way, and will definitely not be my last. The food was ready quick- and oh my gosh- it was so fresh and delicious! The pita chips are amazing, and the falafels were the best ones that I have ever had in the US. The staff was so friendly too. Overall it was a great experience! Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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”

“We enjoyed a great Mediterranean experience in semi fast food with real tableware. We had Chargrilled Lamb which came with a Greek salad and choice of a side. We chose roasted red potatoes. The meal was very tasty. Only disappointment was the lamb was chewy.”

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

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

“Besides their delicious food and coffee, their customer service is excellent! Even when the place is busy, they serve you with a smile.”

“What a great experience! First, food was so good! The sauce on the wings was delicious and I can’t stop raving about the baked beans and BANANA PUDDING!!!! But to top it off, our waitress went above and beyond. She gave us perfect recommendations and offered for us to try the banana pudding on the house because it’s that good… she was not kidding! Then gave an extra serving of baked beans to go because I was raving about them so much! We will 100% be back (regularly)!!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“First and foremost, excellent service; great job to our waitress, Jaeger! Food was phenomenal! Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked, exactly as I requested and the cous cous was perfectly tender, but not too soft and had a perfect blend of mild seasonings. Baby back ribs were tender and flavorful alongside the coleslaw and potatoes, and the chicken was pefectly juicy and loaded with flavor! Dessert: Save room for dessert! We absolutely loved the white chocolate cheesecake along with the carrot cake! Both were perfectly cooked and delicious!!”

“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.”

“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!!!!”

“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.”

“First time visiting Nashville we are from Nova Scotia, Canada. Stopped in here for dinner this evening and It was an excellent meal, service was fast, waitress was awesome!! Definitely give this a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇨🇦 April 20/25”

“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.”

“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”

“Amazing bakery and a beautiful location!”

“Update: I remain thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service and culinary excellence provided. This establishment has unequivocally become my preferred destination for us my person and my beautiful Wife.

This venue consistently delivers an outstanding experience, with its impeccable cuisine, exemplary service, and inviting ambiance all contributing to a harmonious and perfect setting. The food is consistently delicious and served at optimal temperatures. The staff members are remarkably cordial and accommodating, and the restaurant itself maintains an impeccable standard of cleanliness and organization.”

“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.”

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

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

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

“Oh my !!!! I would fly to Nashville just for these donuts! The "Vanilla Creme" as pictured on the page is 100 layers of pure decadence! 🤍🩷🤍”

“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.”

“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.”

“Needed a quick dinner and this was perfect! The flavors were incredible and food was fresh. Best food I had in Franklin while traveling through. Will be back for sure!”

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

“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, friendly staff, close to everything”

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

“I didn’t catch the name of the guy over the lobby, but he was great! He was attentive, kind, and patient, he really made it a truly pleasurable experience. This was the best Chinese food I’ve had in a while. I highly recommend 💕”

“Great coffee and excellent customer service!!”

“LOVELY! We love this cozy little breakfast spot. (They have lunch there too.) It's very clean and the service is good. The menu is extensive for a small restaurant. We enjoyed lattes, the pancakes, a couple of pastries and the Nutella crepe. We've had the breakfast sandwiches in the past. They also have eggs benedict, acai bowls and smoothies. Everything is made to order and very good. Check out the menu online and you will see what I mean. There is seating inside and limited seating outside. You can also take your food over to the green space just steps away from the restaurant. It is also great that this place is open on Sunday when many of the shops around it are closed. (Note it is closed on Mondays.)”

“Love this place! My husband and I were greeted as soon as we entered the door with the biggest smile of a Chef...you can watch your order being made~this man has skills! Fresh out of the oven came out sausage roll and cheese stromboli. THESE WERE FANTASTIC! If you want NY style eats, THIS is the place to be! Thank you for your hospitality and fab eats ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“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!!”

“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!”

“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’ve never liked Cajun food but when I tried the drunk chicken 😃it was exactly like thanksgiving dinner in every bite”

“Was there for family vacation and the food was great! We had the lamb and Hakka Noodles!”

“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!”

“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 ;)”

“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 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. 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.”

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

“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!!!”

“The service was excellent! Food could have been a little warmer. Shopping was fun. Bathrooms were clean. I vote 8”

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

“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.

“This was a great find. A one of menu with southern hospitality. Clean. Fun. And right off I 40 on the west side. Perfect!”

“This is amazing👍”

“Thank you Dana Harris for a good job in grilling my food . Very tasty..for my 1st visit, can't wait to come back..”

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

“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.”

“Amazing food! Excellent service!”

“[July 2025] I was looking around for a nearby coffee shop while in Cool Springs and this cute place came up nearby on the maps. When I arrived, I actually was greeted by Art, the owner who was very warm and welcoming. I ordered an iced lavender oat milk latte and breakfast bowl with house made salsa. The breakfast bowl was savory and perfectly cheesy. The latte was well balanced. I loved the décor there as well. It was a small café with a home-like vibe. The bathroom even had these photos of Mona Lisa blowing bubbles with chewing gum. I definitely will be back!”

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

“We were in Franklin for a business brief business trip, and actually went to another coffee shop, where an employee there highly recommended Hank’s. So, after our coffee at the other place, we went there. While the coffee at the other place was pretty good, Hank’s was much better. So much so we went back the following day before we left Franklin. But the staff, the customers and the atmosphere were superb. Always speaks well when customers are lined up out the door and not complaining or leaving. And the staff member that took our order the first day remembered us when we showed up the second day. Can’t say enough good things, it was that good.
Also, we do coffee dates wherever we are, wherever we go, so we do know our coffee and are particular. Photos are from day 1 and day 2.”

“While at it's heart a bar, Fozzys is as good a night spot as anything in cool springs. You could call it a sports bar, but that overlooks the live music and certainly ignores the creative food menu, leaps ahead of typical wings and burgers.

Tonight I had a salad with unique Fozzys touch and crab Rangoon egg rolls, with a great server.

I don't get into that part of town but when I do, Fozzys leads the pack.

If I had any complaint, I wish their kitchen were open at least an hour later. But that's not always feasible.”

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

“Love the cause! Thank you”

“Sweet Haven has really good ice cream, but what made our visit was Olivia. She was so friendly, engaging, and just genuinely fun to talk to. You can tell she enjoys what she’s doing, and it completely changes the experience. What could have been a quick stop turned into something we’ll actually remember. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Ok this has to be Franklin/Brentwood/Cool Springs’ best kept secret. Food is amazing, you can still talk to each other without having to scream over each other, and there are TONS of screens. Please come eat here and keep this place open!”

“Great server! - Kendall! She was bright and bubbly and knowledgable about the food. This helped our first dinner to be very pleasant. The atmosphere and food were enjoyable too!”

“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!”

“In a good location next to a small park. If you’re staying at a local hotel or on a business trip, this is a great place to go. Reasonable prices, and good quality.”

“I want to thank the staff and apologize at the same time, ordered through doordash and didnt realize how close to closing they were. The food was delicious and filling.”

“Arrived here about 9:45am to order for work. The employees saw us and said they’d take our order by 10 despite them not opening till 10:30am. This is a place that still takes customer service seriously and the quality of the food is fantastic especially for the price”

“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 !!!!!”
