“This is a great place to come when you’re in the mood for a steak. They always have excellent service, very good appetizers, and great tasting dessert. They’re always punctual when you have a reservations. This place gets better every day!“

“Stopped in on a Friday night with a group of 9 and had great service! Kate was fantastic! Food was great (some things weren't very warm - but I realize harder with a large party). Our teenagers loved their meals so much they ordered seconds haha. Drinks were delicious! Cute place with lots of space and wonderful service! Would definitely recommend, and we will be back if in the area.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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😀“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Amazing food! Excellent service!“

“Menu: slightly different from what you see on their website, so we were taken aback at first, but a lot of overlaps

Food: delicious! Forgot to take pictures of half of the things we ordered, but the table favorites were Burrata, Pesto, Focaccia. Everything we ordered tasted great.

Staff: Was friendly, but one of our guests ordered a fish entree and while they were bringing out everyone’s plates, our server told him to choose something else as they were out of that fish. I think they could have reached out to us earlier. However, they were extremely accommodating to our ever changing guest list and kept adding more tables to accommodate everyone.

Service: they don’t let you split the check more than 6 ways, so if you’re going there in large parties, be ready to Venmo each other.

Parking: plenty of parking spots right outside the establishment.

Vibe: other patrons were pretty quiet and nice. Overall, ambiance was great. Loved the chic decor of the place. The bar area is rather large but no noisy patrons there either.

Overall, very pleased with my experience. Would go again!

Vegetarian options: You can ask to replace the meat with veggies“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“55 South was the perfect choice for dinner/drinks for our "Bride-To-Be" party of 6. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted, with friendly smiles, by the hostess & bartenders. The table wait time was minimal. Our server was so great & never missed a beat. The Nola Cheesesteak (makes my mouth water just talking about it) was DELICIOUS! Hands down, 55 South should be on your itinerary if you're in the Downtown Franklin area.“

“Came in for lunch & had the ham & Gruyère melt sandwich with fruit. Fabulous! Really, really delicious. Service from Victoria was timely and EXCELLENT. Also had an orange and pomegranate drink with turmeric called the “Morning Meditation” that cured my headache. Restaurant and table were clean and well maintained. Very enjoyable food and experience.“

“Great pizza and great service!“

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

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

“We sometimes feel like The Rutledge is our own hidden gem. We have been going there for years and it never disappoints. From the food to cocktails to service we always know it's going to be an experience where we are taken care of and leave fulfilled. The ambience provides the perfect environment for real conversations be it with one person or a group.“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever put in my mouth. Literally ate this cold. Best food I’ve literally put in my mouth. The fried rice is so flavorful, the shrimp tempura is crispy and delicious, the California rolls are super fresh, and salad with ginger dressing is so good.

Vegetarian options: I the California roll is so good and tastes so good. It feels so clean & it’s great“

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

“Good food and good service“

“Awesome friendly staff Great food“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Very good food. I had the vegetarian nachos and the cheese was so good! I added some of my husbands rice to them and that made them perfect (so they should offer that on the menu). Husband had the fajitas Texanas I believe; he said they were very good. Good salsa also (love cilantro); chips were average.“

“The good reviews are spot on! A++++! So good! I ordered the mixed vegetables and sweet and sour chicken. Both are fantastic! I ordered online and picked it up myself. It was packaged very well and everything was fresh and hot when I got home. I also got a small egg drop soup but I’ve had better so I won’t order that again but I’m still giving Asian Taste 5 stars. I will absolutely be back! Thank you!“

“Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Service was excellent.“

“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!!“

“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.“
