- TTreyVIPNashville •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWow! Finally, a really good menu, well thought out, excellent service by the entire team, food preparation was spot on too. Already making plans for another visit. We wanted to check out the apps so we tried the tempura mushrooms, the charred cauliflower, and fries too and were very happy with all three. Then, we had the tenderloin and arugula entree and followed by the apple tart desert. Not one single bite was off even a little bit! Well done!!More infoetch - FranklinPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Franklin•4.7
- DDavidVIPNashville •17 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 24, 2024Reliable chain experience. Servers went above and beyond on Christmas Eve to deal with heavy crowd. Menu and food options have decreased in variety over the years since covid like many other chains. However generally you know what you are getting and it is a reliable go to experience with fairly nice ambience.More infoP.F. Chang's - Cool SpringsPrice: Moderate• Chinese• Franklin•4.5

Discover Franklin
Nashville is well-known worldwide as an entertainment capital of the south, but many people do not realize that the area just south of Nashville is home to an excellent array of eateries that range from the several steakhouses to a solid assortment of Asian restaurants. There are also pizzerias and other European cuisines available at multiple locations. And, of course, when you are talking Tennessee, you are talking barbecue restaurants galore. While Nashville offers the hustle-bustle activity of a big city, the communities of Brentwood and Franklin are small towns located about a 30-minute drive from the country music magnet; both offer a more relaxed setting for any dining experience, whether it is a high-profile chain outlet or a down home "Mom and Pop" country cooking buffet.
