50 Best American Restaurants near Thompsons Station

“Fantastic ambiance and incredible food! The Botanist is a drink worth waiting for. The Pork Katsu Udon was perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the Bone-In Pork Chop with cilantro lime crema was cooked to perfection. Don’t miss the Corn Brûlée — it’s a standout side. Highly recommend Circa Grill!“

“This is where you will find 1819 coffee ☕️, it is just a wonderful place to have coffee, with a fried or a quite moment for yourself, so full of charm ,I once met an author, and an Artist in the same morning. Another morning, I met a wonderful couple with their family that had just gotten married. Also they have beautiful Art for sale around the shop , it is nice to see the talent displayed in their Art. Come , and enjoy!“

“Great food and service. Good wine list“

“Tried Better Days Diner for the first time today. Burger and fries were delicious. Also shared a banana split and it was delicious as well. Staff were very nice and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“Half Way is “all the way” in food & service. The early morning breakfast is wonderful; Half Way is Truly our “go to” place where “the locals” hang out.“

“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.“

“Man I wish I took a picture of my plate! This is my second time I have eaten at brown bag. First of all, I am crazy happy to support such a great cause! But Morceau, their food is killer! Easily the very best lunch and all of Franklin it is so fresh and the food is all perfectly cooked. And for those who care, I also like that, they do have nutrition facts on their website, which makes it helpful to choose Wise foods on certain days. I will be back multiple times.“

“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!“

“Love this restaurant! I am gluten-free/celiacs and the staff was very knowledgeable about celiac and had the proper protocols in place to prevent cross contact. The food is great. The gluten-free buns and gluten-free fries were awesome. We will definitely be back!“

“The food is excellent, best biscuits, most of all Suzanne and staff is outstanding welcoming everybody—the only place in Franklin area where breakfast is the best!!!! Five star rating!!!!“

“I have been eating at this location for over 6 yrs and NEVER is there a NEW or added item. The menu remains the same. The majority of restaurants that ae visited, have new items added and in 6 yrs. this menu remains the same. Perhaps maybe I should go somewhere else to eat. I can not believe that this has not been brought to your attention long before now. When will a new item be added???“

“Valentine’s Day dinner was amazing !! ♥️“

“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.“

“Just found this new Food Truck, Big Bite Wheels, the name did not disappoint. I got the Waterss burger really really good, has a bit of a kick to it. Loaded fries, very delicious. Very filling for the price. Best I've had in a long time. Chicken hibachi. Very good, I got it over fried rice, which was delicious. They cooked it fresh and it was ready in under 10 minutes. McDonald's can't even get me a double cheeseburger in under that time any more! Keep up the great work B.B.W, we'll be back!!!“

“I would love to state that these are cheap eats, but far from it. The menu is extremely affordable; however, the taste is richly delectable & applause worthy. @Kelsey @Troy @Mark Waldo @ChickenandBeer BRAVO! From start to finish, 20/10!! Thank you for an EXCEPTIONAL first of many experiences together!“

“My husband went to o/charleys for dinner tonight. He got the chicken finger dinner, got me fish & chips. They were so over cooked, I had to break open and smell of each to know what was what. We eat there so often because we're both disabled, but they just lost a good customer. The puppy got full.....“

Our server, Amanda, had the best personality. She made our orders exactly as ordered, and this is hard to do with me! (I'm a modification nightmare) nobody at the table went without! THANK YOU for taking your time and for providing us with the service that is rare now a days!

“We came for a wedding rehearsal dinner. Everything went off without a hitch. From the bakers, staff, servers and owners we couldn’t be happier. No uncorking fee for wine. No venue charge. We love this place. My favorite Thor’s Legecy“

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

“Great food and the people working here are amazing, especially the lady from New Orleans at Cool Springs location!!!!“

“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.“

“Ambiance is wonderful. Food is top notch. Service is delightful“

“Sometimes the wings are good, but they are hit or miss! And when they miss your pissed off and want to go back up there for your hard earned money back! Getting clearly old wings because it’s .99 night is crazy and angering when you’re hungry and thinking you’ll get what you got before. When wings turn to dust in your mouth because they’re old and refried, is wild! Trying to attach a pic!“

“The new quesadillas aren't great. It's what you would expect of a quesadilla from a chicken place. The same fried chicken strips thrown in a tortilla with a little cheese.

Zax sauce is life though. The rest is mid.“

“Have been to Longhorns many times, tonight we were very disappointed. My husband and I both ordered a 9oz filet and I will tell you we were not served filets. You know how filets are supposed to be melt in your mouth steaks. These were not. Didn’t complain my bad. Sad so wanted a good steak.“

“First visit for my husband and I…great experience! Delicious food! Our waitress Lexi was the best! And left us the sweetest note! Will recommend! ❤️“

“This is my favorite breakfast/brunch spot! The manager, Ronnie, always makes us feel like we are coming to visit a friend. The warmth of the atmosphere is felt. The food is always consistently good.

Coming here is more than a meal, it's an experience! Ronnie works for smiles! He must because we are always smiling and laughing. We will always come back because of the atmosphere, food, and Ronnie!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This has been my favorite Mexican spot in Franklin for years. There has been a recent change in staff and the girl working up front is just horrible. They’ve made mistakes on my order several times and she just hangs up when I called to have it fixed. She has hung up otherwise when I call to check on the status of an order. Hope they can improve their staff because this place has always been a great mom and pop shop.“

“The food was good. I highly recommend the turkey club. We were a party of four, two of us got it. The next night, we both wanted the turkey again, but they were out. I don’t know what the magic is, but I hope it’s on the menu next year when we’re back. Only downside was the long wait, either for a table or service; I think they were short handed.“

“Unless you want HAIR,SWEAT,LINT,boogers and whatever else in your food do not come to waffle house on Port royal. This lady was touching the food touching the register, touching the money,wiping off her nose,fixing people drinks,playing in her hair and everything else with no gloves on or handwashing! then gone take my plate out my bag, open my plate after she closed it to take bacon out of it that I Paid and put it back on the grill,for saying she didn't like my attitude when all I did was come in and give her a name for my to go order.Then after I heard what she said tried to tell play it off.“

“Best waitress her name is Laura we ate there on Aug 28 she was great. Springs Hill Logans. We friendly and good service.“
