“Great food and service. Good wine list“

“Awesome show and actors Great night of fun“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Excellent service!“

“Okay I love this place. Crispy eggplant, ceasar salad, shrimp scampi (shared so this is a half version) pesto flat bread and bread pudding with salted caramel gelato!! Seriously get the gelato I could not get enough. Also why is everyone so nice there I love it. AND the Parmesan cheese they give you is the dusty kind, and that is important!!! Everything was a 10. I’m coming back for a lunch sandwich“

“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 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.“

“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! 🤍🩷🤍“

“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!!“

“Really great food and the price is so reasonable!! The portions are actually enough to share for the health conscious eater. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“amazing service! YUMMY food! loved the iced coffee and homemade poptarts!“

“We came to celebrate our departure from Tennessee with a large group last night. Malichi was our server he did an amazing job, his enthusiasm, knowledge of the menu, his tweaking of the entree to meet our dietary restrictions was Phenomenal! Thank you and we hope to be back when we visit!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Have been going to FW for years. Have several waitress, Nellie, Lacey , Mookie, Janet, Alice, Victoria, Alice and many others. Always great food and smiling faces! Miss some like Dean who was the best host ever.
The restaurant can get very noisy at times but that means it's full and many have come to enjoy! On McEwen in Franklin!“

“Party of 4 went on the Sunday after Valentine's Day so they were very busy. Host and server with both kind. The food was excent, we got a few of the more interactive dishes. Definitely has young urban vibe and we definitely felt like we were having dinner somewhere other Cool Springs! Recommended.“

“I did carry out so I didnt notice the I side of the store so much. I ordered online so didnt have bit a 2 sec. Interaction with the girl who handed me my order, but she acted quickly when she saw me walk in, asked me my name and gave me my order with a sweet smile, so that earned her 5 stars. I havent ordered Vuis in a while because the food got to where I didnt enjoy it any more. I like the freshness of it and attention to detail. The rice was often overcooked. But I tried it again last night after a 6 month or longer hiatus. It was delicious. I got a chicken bowl. My daughter got beef pho. It was delicious. We both raved on our meals. We'll done!“

“Yummy Duke bowl! I love trying something different every time!“

“Unique flavors of ice cream“

“Bubble tea was good, my son loved the Oreo rolled ice cream“

“This restaurant was a lovely surprise! I had been wanting to go here for a while. I got more than what was expected. I think the lady who took care of us was Ella. Then the guy who brought us our food was Noah, and both of them were so friendly and kind. The food was delicious. Several people came by to check on us at our table. It didn't take super long to get our food and they were very busy. We waited longer in the line to order, but it was so worth the wait. Pictures of what we got at the bottom.
Blessings to you and yours“

“Tonight wasn’t just dinner… it was culinary artistry at its finest!!

At The Rutledge in Franklin, every plate arrived with the kind of precision, balance, and layered execution you expect from a nationally recognized dining experience — not simply a local night out. The level of craftsmanship rivaled the unforgettable experience I once had dining at Morimoto, and that is praise I do not give lightly.

We began with the lobster bisque and charcuterie board — a masterclass in flavor development and restraint. Rich, elegant, and beautifully composed.

The 8oz filet, cooked to an immaculate medium-rare, was everything a proper steak should be: perfectly tempered, deeply flavorful, and paired brilliantly with the lemon roasted broccolini and velvety sauce beneath it. Every component elevated the next.

The lobster mac & cheese was pure indulgence without becoming heavy, while the grilled salmon over pesto risotto delivered vibrant freshness and balance in every bite. Layer upon layer of flavor unfolded with intention, harmony, and refinement. Even the cornbread — golden, buttery, and impossibly moist — deserved its own standing ovation.

What transformed an extraordinary meal into a truly memorable dining experience, however, was the hospitality. Nate orchestrated the evening with professionalism, warmth, and timing that felt effortless, while Richard, the FOH manager, ensured every detail of the experience was polished to perfection. That level of attentiveness is rare — and it matters.

This wasn’t simply a meal. It was hospitality, execution, creativity, and passion converging into one unforgettable evening. Franklin has something truly special in The Rutledge. 🍷🥩🦞🔥“

“I absolutely LOVE Health Sushi!!! Every time I go to Franklin, I always have to stop at my favorite restaurant. My favorite roll is the Tennessee Roll! 😋“

“Very accommodating. Had a two year and toe who made a mess a couple of times and they took very good care of us and helping us clean up. Very friendly.“

“When I normally go to Chuy's, I get the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
But today I asked if I could get it with steak instead of chicken.
It's not a menu option but they made it happen and it is delicious!
BEHOLD, I have created the Moo Moo Boom Boom!!
YOU'RE WELCOME!!!“

“Great staff very helpful, restaurant was clean and food was fantastic!“

“UPDATE (10/5/22): They remodeled the interior and it's beautiful!
-----------
This place is always well staffed and clean. The food is very uniformly made, which is nice - I know that what I order is going to be exactly what I want and how I expect it.

We are here quite often as it is efficient and convenient.“
