Teriyaki chicken with southwest salad and red skin mashed potatoes.

Food was delicious and staff was friendly. They helped with recommendations and did great. I had the teriyaki chicken with a southwest salad. It was so good. Several people there for lunch. There's seating outside and indoors.

Grilled fish tacos, berry slaw, jalapeño corn casserole.

Walked in during lunch rush and only waited 5 min for my to go order. Decent speedy meal and will definitely eat here again.

Chicken sandwich, seasonal Ginger salad, and vegetables
Sherry W.

This is a lunch favorite restaurant for me, my husband, and friends .... Food is always fresh and delicious... Service is fantastic... Would have gotten a 5 star, but the atmosphere is not great... It's a small place that stays very busy, so it's too crowded at times... It's a claustrophobic feeling while you eat sometimes bc you're in such close proximity to others... Brown Bag is so popular, it would be nice if they would move to a more spacious location... Parking and where to sit are sometimes an issue... So, lots of people call in to go orders and eat their menu selections elsewhere.

Grilled Fish Tacos Entree
Danielle F.

Great place for a quick lunch with healthy options. I had the grilled fish tacos, and they were fresh and prepared quickly. The side of grilled asparagus was prepared well; I chose the jalapeño corn as my second side and while it had a nice flavor (a little heat, but not too spicy) the consistency left a little to be desired. It was a little gelatinous and would pick a different side next time. I'd definitely come back to try out other entrees as this seems like a nice place to get something other than the standard heavy fast food fare. I ordered in person and my wait for the tacos and two sides was only about 8-10 min (around 1:30 pm).

Catering perfection! They were so kind to donate food for a counseling center for Covenant families. Everyone was raving about how delicious the food was!

$11 Veggie Plate Entree (3 sides)
Jillian D.

Meal was mediocre and overpriced. Better vegetarian options and/or better serving size is needed. Gluten free options are marked on the menu, but still a lackluster variety Told the cashier I had a gluten allergy and was assured that the items I order were gluten free/could be modified but I found a crouton in my salad that was not supposed to be there. If you are vegetarian or have gluten or any food allergies this is not the spot.

Grilled chicken with two sides of chopped salad and grilled asparagus
Marie B.

We had a really good experience here for the first time. It was crowded as it is a popular place to both grab lunch but also pick up your larger catering orders, so make sure to leave some time for waiting on a table to open up at lunch time. The portions were substantial for lunch. My husband got the fish tacos with two sides and I got the grilled chicken with two sides. It was a nice break from chain restaurants and over-priced signature lunch establishments in the area. It was also affordable considering how expensive it can be to eat in Franklin. Overall a great experience with fresh food and good atmosphere.

Steak Sandwich, corn casserole, asparagus, brownie
Jeremy P.

This was the best steak sandwich I ever had. It's hard to get here for the average working person because they are closed on weekends and they close 2:00 PM on weekdays. The food was amazing and seasoned to perfection.

Flour and Forge - Pesto Margherita

I don't know how Flour and Forge got on my radar. It was certainly before they got as mainstream…read more(?) as they are now. I know that's obnoxious to write but in my head I am still breaking news, not piling on. In any event, there's a reason why so many people have such good things to say about F&F. They're the real deal. Unlike many food trucks in Nashville, F&F advertised their location. So, on an unusually warm Friday night in late winter, I decided to venture over to Elmington Park and treat myself. Despite my best efforts, I arrived close to their closing time. I was afraid I was out of luck for this artisan goodness but the nice lady in the truck smiled at me, took my order and had me wait for what they were whipping up. As the sun set, I hung out in my car and waited for the electric buzz of happiness. After an appropriate wait, I buzzed, picked up my grub and headed home. Because I'm fancy, I poured myself a glass of cabernet sauvignon. Because I'm not classy, I left the pizza in the box rather than put it on a plate. At first appearance, my bbbq chicken pizza wasn't that large. This isn't a large meat-lover's from Domino's. This is artisan pie. The crust was fluffy, interesting in texture and flavorful (on its own) in taste. The pie, while small, was packed with flavor. I could tell these were choice ingredients I was eating. It was a bbq pizza so that means a bbq sauce base -- but to the bbq, cilantro was a present (not dominant) ingredient. It made each bite unique. This was not your usual bbq chicken pizza. Atop the sauce was a gouda/mozzarella blend that perfectly suited the sauce. Honestly, the pizza would have been good just like that. The marinated chicken (seasoned, not dry), bacon and onions added to the new spin on an old favorite. I enjoyed every bite. The fatty inside me wanted more but I can understand the restraint inherent within 'artisan.' That said, I wouldn't turn down a bigger pie. Like I said: classy.

My job catered flour and forge pizza for lunch and the truck came making fresh pizza. They have…read moreunique flavors and toppings and the woodfired style definitely comes out on the pizza. It was so incredibly delicious that I had to find the food truck and come back. I followed their instagram since there's no brick and mortar place and this was at their green hills location. I love that you can preorder it by texting them and it'll be freshly made and ready when you get there. I had a pesto pizza in the past I loved, but for this day, they didn't have it and recommended the four cheese pizza and they would drizzle pesto for me on top. So light and good!! Eat it fresh! Their menu changes depending on the fresh ingredients they have. This is probably one of my favorite pizza in Nashville!!

The staff is always great to work with. The first time we ordered the steak, Gouda Mac & cheese and their brownie. The servings were large enough for leftovers. Steak was fantastic and so was the Mac & cheese. The brownie was cake like and delicious. The bread that came wit it was a focaccia and rolls. Everything was packaged great and they were delivering at the time. The second time we had salmon, Mac & cheese, salad with goat cheese and ordered the brownie. The salmon was so good and it comes with this amazing sauce. Mac & cheese is great. One of my faves is the salad with goat cheese and really can be a meal in itself. They forgot our brownie but gave us two cake pops and a cookie. Cookie was fantastic. We are not cake pop fans but it was good. They now offer pick up and it was super easy. Highly recommend ordering from here.

I wish I knew her name but the female bartender was the star of the show! When we realized we didn't have a mixer 30 minutes before cocktail hour she went and got more for us. She also picked family out of the crowd and was SO attentive to them and prioritized my mom and mother in law especially, which they will never forget. As they were setting up all the wait staff were so kind and uplifting, they genuinely seemed like they were happy to be a part of our day. I would use Daily Dish over and over again I just can't say enough good things about them! We feel so lucky to have found them.

Stopped into Hogwood BBQ in Franklin for dinner after a long, exhausting day and it absolutely hit…read morethe spot. I went with the Hogwood Sampler which comes with chicken, sausage, ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, plus mac-n-cheese on the side. All in it was $27.89 plus tax, which feels like pretty fair market value for the amount and quality of food you're getting. The food itself was incredible. Way too many barbecue places lean way too hard on sauce to do the heavy lifting. That is not the case here. Every single meat had deep, legit smoky flavor on its own and honestly didn't even need sauce. That said, the sauces were also excellent. The Alabama white paired perfectly with the chicken, and the spicy tomato-based red sauce had a great kick without overpowering anything. Drink selection was another pleasant surprise. They've got Coke products and Tractor Organic Beverages. I mixed their unsweet tea with the Tractor mango and made myself a mango tea that worked way better than it had any right to. If I had to nitpick, the side selection is a little limited for my personal taste. I'm always hoping for fries or hush puppies, though to be fair that's not uncommon for BBQ joints around here. I also ran into a sticky spot on the table that clearly hadn't been fully wiped down from a previous guest. That said, the food was good enough that it still lands as a five-star experience for me. Hogwood BBQ is an excellent choice if you're looking for seriously good barbecue in Franklin.

I went with the BBQ pulled pork sandwich, 2 sides: Slaw and the Potato Salad. They have white sauce available at the "drink station", otherwise traditional BBQ sauces on the table. Sandwich was great, I always put a bit of slaw on my BBQ and added some white sauce. It was delicious! Slaw is vinegar based and includes a bit of kale, it is fine. But the Rosemary Potato Salad was really good! Just a bit of bacon in there too to complete the flavors. Others enjoyed the Hatch Green Chili Grits which is a nice take on traditional grits. Staff was super friendly and as we sat around the table, they came over to our table after lunch asking if we wanted a mini Moon Pie to complete the meal! Of Course! Restaurant is neat and clean, good BBQ option and the sides make it!

The service from Kayla Pearson and her other female counterpart, was completely unacceptable and unprofessional. They were rude with 2 of my sisters as well as one of my guests, who was scolded for taking too much chicken. The servers couldn't be bothered to clear about 1/2 of our guests' plates. They were compostable bamboo, so all they had to do was clear and toss. But, they did not. We had agreed that CRAVE would bring some whimsical birdcages and stuff like that to decorate with. That did not happen. Then the two severs who were on staff asked to leave two hours before the agreed upon time, after already half-assing their jobs. They complained about putting SIX bottles of sparkling wine in ice for us and did not help with cake service as was agreed upon. As I said, the bartender was literally the best part of the entire CRAVE experience. I worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, so I know it can be the pits, but this had to be one of the easiest catering gigs and the two servers assigned to our wedding, as well as CRAVE catering really dropped the ball. Instead of alleviating the pressure and stress of one of the busiest (and best) days of my life, they added to it. I work too hard to let this slide. I would recommend Jay as a bartender anytime. I cannot say the same for any other part of the CRAVE team.
