12 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Franklin

“In a world of endless dining options, it’s rare to encounter a restaurant that feels like a quiet revelation—one that doesn’t shout its excellence but simply delivers it, course after course, with such precision and grace that you leave wishing that you’d found this gem sooner. The food itself is the quiet star. Each dish arrives as a small masterpiece of balance—flavors layered with intention, textures that surprise without gimmickry. In short, this is one of the very best restaurants I’ve ever visited—anywhere. It doesn’t chase trends or demand attention; it earns it through quiet excellence. If you value food that respects both ingredient and diner, make the reservation. You’ll likely find yourself, as I did, already planning the return visit. Highly recommended—worth every moment and mile, and we come from SWFL.“

“Such a great brewery! They had an awesome selection of beers with plenty of options to choose from, and the food truck was absolutely delicious. The banana pudding was easily a 10/10 and a must-try! Great atmosphere, good drinks, and amazing food. Definitely worth a stop!“

“My best friend and I live in Hayesville NC. We travel over the mountain just to eat here. We have never been disappointed in the food, service, etc. Every sandwich we have tried is great. We have a habit of testing Ruebins. Gazebo is the best that we have eaten. The soups of my. are fantastic as well. Today we we had a slice of Coconut Custard pie. Wow just Wow. it was amazing. I highly recommend anyone to eat there. April we love you. you are fantastic inside and out. Thank you for making our lunch great to the whole crew. we will definitely get photos next visit. see you all soon ❤️❤️“

“Stopped in at 6am, 18 Sep 2021 for breakfast on the way to the river to do some fly fishing. Awesome breakfast.“

“Stopped in tonight to have a beer and a bite with friends. My wife had the gyro, and I had the philly cheese sandwich. Both were outstanding! We will definitely be back for more! Great job folks!!“

“Let me tell you. They have the best southern fried chicken this side of my mama’s chicken. Like that saying in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes…..”you got a good scald on that chicken”. And that my friends is a compliment, a southern compliment at that. Close your eyes and you’d swear you were sitting at your mama’s table eating her fried chicken and it doesn’t get better than that!!!!!“

“Best Mexican Food! Staff are always friendly. Manager comes around to ask if we need anything.“

“Their food is so so good!! Just the fried rice alone is amazing and literally is the best I've ever had. It's firm, never soggy, and the perfect texture. I also love the honey chicken, it's my favorite. Best of all the plates are really cheap and they give you a TON of food! It even gives me two days worth of dinner, you can't beat that!!! Heads up the place itself looks a taaad on the sketchy side and it's not a sit down type of place 😅, but please don't let that fool you. The food has always been fantastic, i promise it's worth it!!!!“

“absolutely lovely experience!
when out of an ingredient they checked with us for a substitute. the salmon curry and pad thai were delicious! the salmon in the curry was tender and the donuts with sweetened condensed milk was crispy and just the right amount of sweet for an after dinner treat.
100% coming back soon!“

“The food is very good every time we go. We love their Pad Thai and the variety of sushi is very good as well. The staff have always been friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place!“

“We love their buffet! Food great and very reasonably priced! Just would like them to stop yelling around to everyone in their dining room!“

“My wife and I eat there regularly. The service is great and the food is fantastic. It kinda got off to a rocky start when it first opened but with a new Head Chief and extra servers, who are very friendly and helpful, it has come along to be one of the better restaurants in Franklin.“
