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???”

8 The Spot Burgers & Beers - Spring Hill

4.5 Superb 245 Reviews

3011 Longford Drive, Spring Hill · 2.02 miles

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“My wife has a severe sensitivity to gluten and the kitchen made accomodations to make sure the food was gluten free. I really appreciated that. And the food was absolutely amazing. The burgers were so good. Meat seasoned well, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, and hands down, the gluten free bun was best we have tasted so far in the country. My middle child usually doesn't finish her burger but she finished all of it here. That says something. The fries were really good too. Most restaurants serve beef tallow fries that do not taste like beef tallow fries. But here you can actually taste the beef tallow. The fries were crispy and the flavor of the fries were reminiscent of McDonald fries in the good ole days. We will be back again.”

“We had such a fantastic experience at Culinary Dropout! The food was excellent—the burger was spot-on, and the steak and fries were cooked perfectly—and the Tijuana Spa Water cocktail was amazing. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was our waitress, Kendall. She was an absolute ray of sunshine. Her energy was warm, genuine, and uplifting, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. What impressed us even more was watching her interact with every table around us with the same intentional care and enthusiasm. It wasn’t just great service—it’s clearly who she is. Kendall truly brightened our day, and because of her (and the incredible food and drinks), we can’t wait to come back.”

“We just celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary dinner on Friday evening. We were impressed from the moment we sat down at the table. Our main server was Demetrius and Bella was the one who cut our chops and explained about the chop as she did the cutting. Vernon was not our server yet stopped by a few times just to make sure all was well. Everyone who came to the table told us Happy Anniversary and to let them know if there is anything we needed. The food was delicious, ambiance was wonderful and the staff made our meal special to us. This was our first time and we will highly recommend to all our friends and we WILL be back😊”

I ate there again today with my mom, and we made a request to have an additional side of a sauce we both love. The team gave incredible service and went out of their way to clear up a confusion on a charge. They went above and beyond, and created yet another amazing experience at Flower Child. Going the extra mile for a customer will never go unnoticed - bravo to everyone there!”

4.6 Superb 362 Reviews

• Take-Out

“My family loves this little gem right in downtown Franklin. My husband is British and this is his go to place when he wants a taste of home - especially fish and chips (he says the tartar sauce seals the deal). We’ve sampled other staples like cottage pie and chicken tenders and everything has been lovely. The dining room is small and cozy so sometimes it’s a bit crowded (especially on trivia night) but we’ve rarely had a problem squeezing in. Waitstaff is friendly and the decor really sells the Irish pub atmosphere. I don’t usually order drinks beyond an occasional hard cider, but there are lots of offerings which I am sure are equally as good as the food.”

Our breakfast (mine was the fall pancake with chicken apple sausage and scrambled eggs) was so flavorful that I didn't even need syrup. No they aren't overly sweet. Fantastic options, service and food! Can't wait to come back for a blueberry muffin”

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!”

“After a day of soccer, we found Scout's down the street from the fields. It's located in a cute town square area with a pond, swings, and grassy area for kids to play. We had a large group of 9 and they seated us right away. We chose to sit on the patio to enjoy the warm afternoon sun and breeze. It's a dog-friendly spot, and our kids loved petting the other guests' dogs (asking for permission of course). The inside is cute as well, but it would have been a little crowded with our larger party. But I could imagine hanging out with friends at the bar or on a date night with my wife. Scout's has a large and diverse menu, so everyone was able to order something to their taste. My son had a smash burger and appetizer of fries, cheese curds, poutine and bacon, my daughter had chicken tenders and Mac N Cheese, I had pizza, and my wife ordered taquitos. They also have a full bar and several craft beers to choose from. I had the Good People IPA, which is one of my faves. The service was excellent. Our server, Lauren, was friendly and attentive. Grabbed empty plates quickly, refilled waters & sodas without asking, and was ready to bring us the next round at just the right time.”

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.”

“I happened in last year late at night because it was what was open, and immediately saw it as welcoming. I've been back a few times, and that continues to be my main impression. The service is friendly. Bartender Hayley was very diligent in making sure everyone got their food and drink, and was doing OK socially. The bar does cater to smokers, so if you're not OK with that, you may rate it differently, but for me that issue was secondary to its may other virtues.”
