“Great food and service. Good wine list“

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

“I have been to this restaurant many times and went last night for my birthday with my family. The coffee encrusted filet is phenomenal and this is the only place I have ever seen it. Along with the scalloped potatoes side and the artichoke dip for an appetizer I was so pleased. Everyone enjoyed what they got whether it was the salmon, French onion soup, or other steaks. Our server was so kind and attentive and found out it was my birthday so gave me a free dessert along with champagne and a card signed by the staff. We will be back again before my next birthday for sure!“

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

“Tonight my friends and I had the pleasure of being served by Anna at J. Alexander’s in Franklin, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we sat down at the bar, she greeted us with a friendly smile and made us feel comfortable right away!

Our cocktails were excellent. Each one was perfectly mixed, presented beautifully, and tasted great. Anna was attentive without hovering, checking in at the right times and making sure we had everything we needed. She remembered our drink preferences after just one order and kept our waters filled without us having to ask. She also offered helpful suggestions for cocktails we might enjoy, which we really appreciated.

We come to J. Alexander’s a couple of times a week and have always had good service, but Anna stood out. She is professional, approachable, and clearly takes pride in her work! The atmosphere at the bar felt even more welcoming because of her.

It is not just about the drinks, it is about the overall experience, and Anna made ours great from start to finish. We truly enjoyed having her as our bartender and will definitely be asking for her again on future visits.

If you want excellent cocktails and friendly, attentive service, Anna is a great choice. She made our evening even better, and we look forward to seeing her again soon!“

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

“First time there and the atmosphere was great and our waitress was awesome.“

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

“Had heard a lot of good things from multiple sources about Merridee’s so had high expectations. Food ranged from fantastic to good and they had a lot of options for breakfast. Ordering was done at the front desk and food was brought to you later. Coffee and tea was standard fair and nothing to write home about. Overall they seemed to have a ton of bakery options as well but we did not order those so cannot speak to how good that portion may have been. There were multiple people eating there that only got the pastries.“

“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.“

“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 !!!“

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

“I had no idea what Pita Way was and boy am I sold! Great Mediterranean food options available with fast and such friendly service! Locally owned by Kimi where her and her son, Mitch, will make the experience so pleasant! This will become a regular spot for us!“

“Amazing food! Excellent service!“

“The food is amazing and the staff was friendly! very good!“

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

“We've been here several times and consistently have a good experience. Asked for some help picking out the charcuterie and it was great (hot honey goat cheese was my favorite). Old fashioned was good. We got several of the small plates to share and those with the hot honey was enough of a meal for the 2 of us. We've tried several of the pastas and entrees before and enjoyed those, just didn't have room this time. Usually busy at dinner time so I always try to set up a reservation. Will definitely be back.“

“I ate here yesterday afternoon with a large group of friends (14). It was fabulous, and so nice to eat at a local, family owned restaurant here in Cool Springs which is mostly limited to chain restaurants. I called ahead of time to make sure they could accommodate us and spoke to Luke and he said he’d set aside seating for us. Luke ended up being our server, and he was very sweet and gracious to our rowdy table! We all mostly ordered different pizzas, although a few got pasta dishes, and I added wings to my pizza order. Most drank beer, a couple ordered wine. The pizzas were all very good! I got the Italian Stallion as my husband loves green olives and it had that as an ingredient along with Italian sausage, pepperoni, meatballs, salami and mushrooms. It was wonderful, the toppings were plentiful and the crust was perfect. Others ordered different specialty pizzas and had no complaints. I also got the traditional wings with a mild buffalo sauce and they were quite yummy. My son got the spaghetti & meatballs and it was a huge plate with 2 giant meatballs! He could only eat half of it so he had leftovers for another meal at home. Another person got the Mozzarella Caprese Salad, and the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. The pasta dishes came with homemade garlic knots. The beer selection is rather limited, if you like craft beers like our crowd does. They are mostly standard beers, so that’s the only recommendation I have, that they up their game on the beers and offer more options from local breweries. They were out of some of the limited ones they carry, but Luke explained they restock beers on Monday (we went on a Sunday so they were at the end of their supply by then). As far as the vibe, it was a perfect low key place to hang out with friends, drink beer and eat pizza etc, and watch football. There were plenty of TVs to watch the games. There were even fun video game machines if you’re into that. We really enjoyed Mineo’s - food, service, and vibe were all tops! It does take a little while to get your food but we understood with our big table, and it was nice anyway to not be rushed out the door (we stayed almost 2 1/2 hours!). So nice to support this local family owned restaurant!“

“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“

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

“absolutely delicious. farm raised food. so so good“

“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.“

“We had a great brunch here, Miss Debbie was incredibly hospitable and made our visit with two little kids go from chaos to calm with her kindness and above and beyond help. She brought fruit slices, helped us find a quiet space to help baby calm down, and was so attentive. We always feel like family when we dine at 55 South. Thank you for your amazing service!“

“If you like sushi, come to Bodeli. Personable staff and amazing fresh sushi.“

“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!!“

“Hands down the best! I can sum up this place with one word, that is Tony. Not #TonyVitello but Tony the owner and superstar sushi chef. I have personally seen him cut sushi for country superstars the same as he prepares for my kids. His "slogan" is "see you tomorrow" and I truly believe he means that to everyone that walks through his door. Thank you Tony!“

“I’m updating my rating. They have lost some of their servers, and the service has suffered. Make sure you have extra time.

Victoria and Dustin along with the other wait staff here are excellent. The food is very good, wait times reasonable, and prices are OK. There are cheaper places, but none with this variety, quality and service.“

“A great quick stop in Franklin for some good Mexican food. Customer service is great and prices are decent.“

“I have been ordering the Greek lemon chicken soup for years and always loved it. I wish I could get an even bigger serving of it! This time I also tried the lemon white chocolate cookies and they were great as well.

The location on Franklin’s Main Street is really convenient too.“

“I'm from out of town and staying nearby so I decided to try Nachos. I got chicken and shrimp fajitas. The food was great! I even loved the guacamole (normally I don't bc they make it with onions). The service was even better than the food. I was well taken care of from the minute I walked in. I'll be back during my stay here.“

“Best in Franklin tn 👍🤔👏“

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome friendly staff Great food“

“This place was a very good choice! We are just traveling through and found it. Great food and friendly service!“

“San Diego native here! I moved to Austin visiting family in Franklin. I definitely had to stop. Well worth the stop and will definitely will come back! Thank you for making some amazing food!“

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

“Great food and service!! Kobe beaf was amazing.“

“Best place ever“

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

“Their food is delicious, and the owners are so friendly. We’ve been going here for years, and it’s become a staple for our family!“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere!“

“We enjoyed our meal and will be back.

We got the chicken katsu, Florida rolls, and a tuna roll. The katsu was fried nicely - crunchy but without the chicken being overcooked. The fried rice that came with it was great.

The Florida rolls were a bit heavy on the cream cheese but still good. The tuna roll was about what you'd expect too - good. The attached pictures show the ratio of ingredients for the sushi.

Service was good too.“

“I had dinner there last night with friends and this was some of the best Asian food I have ever had. Great service and fresh delicious food.“

“I really like the corner bar. Kitchen is open past 9, and I wasn’t expecting much in the way of food, but the 3 meals my group ordered were all spectacular. Bbq sandwich was great, chicken wings were great, just the right level of spice, and the smash burger was great. Excellent draft beer selection with daily specials. Live music when we came made it difficult to talk but there was plenty of atmosphere to enjoy instead.“

“What an awesome hidden gem! The food, the servers, the raw oysters! Everything was top notch. We enjoyed everything. We came in for an early dinner, no current customers. We received excellent service, food was so delicious. First ordered half a dozen raw oysters, then grilled half pineapple with shrimp and Chilie Verde. All was excellent!
While we dined, so many folks came in for To-Go orders. I think the bad stormy weather had something to do with that.
We most definitely recommend this restaurant.
Side note...we are professional car haulers. We brought vintage Bentley race cars for a tour of the area. We stayed a couple of nights in the parking lot, as there is no truck stop with available parking, not enough parking for the out of town trucks. If I could request from the community...Please get more available truck parking! Us truckers bring you everything! We need more safe & secure parking. Thank you.“

“Still the best crab cake and bang bang shrimp out. Our waiter Cheryl M was the real MVP. Funny, very personable, just good energy. She gave us the best recommendations to incorporate what we initially wanted and things we didn’t know we wanted lol. Everything was great as always!!“

“Open area for dining! Great place to hang out with friends and family!“

“Pizza is amazing, haven’t found anywhere that compares in taste of lasagna, and their fettuccine 🤤 so much amazing food and the owner is super friendly!“

“Everything was muy delicioso!“
