Nasty brown stains on the tea glasses you can wipe off with your finger. They need to scrub them with some vinegar.But besides that, great homely atmosphere combined with good food and excellent South Africa hospitality. If you can get a clean glass this is a must eat at restaurant!

A quaint restaurant off the beaten path with delicious high-quality southern food! If the food isn’t enough to make you smile, the charming and charismatic staff certainly will!

This will always be one of my favorite restaurants for great southern comfort food. I have been coming here for over 10 years. Their fried chicken and rolls are my favorite! My whole family loves this place.

The macaroni & cheese along w/the mashed potatoes were delicious! The roll was homemade! My fried chicken was dry & the service was poor. We were never checked on.

The peach cobbler at the height of peach season is out of this world. Barbar's Home Cookin is as authentic as it is delicious.

Cool little throwback Meat & Two kinda place. Menu of 8 main dishes...all meats except for a veggie platter if you're so inclined. 11 side items to pick from. Converted home but a fair amount of seating in different rooms plus some outside seating. I chose the fried chicken (one drum/ one breast) with sides of sweet potato casserole and mac 'n' cheese. They give you a roll and I ordered black coffee. Both were good. Quality medium roast coffee, The mac 'n' cheese was soupier than I prefer but that's pretty common. Flavor was good though and the mac (spiral cut) wasn't cooked to mush so that's a "win". The sweet potato casserole was really tasty and is definitely recommended. The chicken was precooked of course for time purposes (my meal arrived in five minutes) but still flavorful and plenty meaty. With coffee the bill was $17 before tax. Maybe a bit high but that's the new economy I suppose and you do have the Williamson County Beauty Tax :-) Great service by everyone involved....and the lady at the checkout had a cool English accent...even if she didn't offer me a complimentary "biscuit" as I was leaving :-) Give this place a try...just for the old school vibe and service.
Southern meat and three at its best. The people at Barbara's are extremely hospitable and the food is just like I remember my great grandmothers cooking. Go try it if you haven't.

Leave Nashville and go to this quaint little house for some real southern cooking. You won't be disappointed..We pulled up to a small house right in the middle of a neighborhood. There sat a house with a sign in front and one on the window of the house. BARBARA'S HOME COOKING.. It was a Sunday, only open from 11-2. We're wondering, how could this place stay in business and be a great place to eat. Well let me tell you it was the best. Friendliest people I've ever met. Everyone of the employees were wonderful. the food was exceptional. We tried fried chicken, pork chops, cream corn, mac & cheese, mash potatoes, a bit of almost everything.After our meal they even brought us into the kitchen to meet the cooks.If i'm ever in Franklin or Nashville again that'll be the first place I'll stop for the BEST SOUTHERN HOME COOKING there is!!!

I always love coming here. The people who serve are wonderful and polite. Specifically, there is a woman at the front desk who always calls you "darling" which I really enjoy. The food will never disappoint, especially the rolls. You'll leave feeling satisfied.

This restaurant lives up to its reputation; everything is delish! Don't let the front facade fool you. Service is very friendly and helpful. It's worth a visit, and then more!
