Even the steamed broccoli was perfectly cooked, sweet, and delicious. The chicken Parmesan was seasoned perfectly, and the pot roast with its rich wine sauce was absolutely incredible. You can tell they put the same care into every ingredient, even the simplest ones. This place is a hidden gem, and we'll definitely be back. If you're on the fence because of the location, don't be, it deserves every bit of the five stars.

Walked into a local sports bar in western North Carolina and felt like we'd walked into a…read moreJacksonville bar back home. Our hostel host pointed us here, and the second we stepped in, we were greeted by Jaguars jerseys on the wall, Mark Brunell and Jimmy Smith. Then we got seated, and right above our table was Fred Taylor's Florida Gators jersey along with a picture of the Swamp. All three of us at the table were Jacksonville guys, so between the Jags gear and the Gators tie-in, it felt like home before we'd even ordered. We all got the wings, and they were excellent. This place oven roasts them first, then fries to crisp up the skin, no breading involved, and that combination does something special to the flavor. Best wings I've had in a while. One of my buddies also ordered a margarita and said it was excellent. Service was great throughout, and the price landed right in that sweet spot, not cheap, but not expensive for what we got either. Fair value across the board. If you're ever in Franklin and want a spot that feels like home even when you're hundreds of miles from it, this is the place.

My family also ordered fried mushrooms. This stuff took 16 minutes to come out. Taste-wise, everything tasted really amazing! The Pepsi was great, the fried mushrooms were scrumptious, the burger was amazing, although things got a little messy. And obviously, the fries tasted amazing. Can't wait to come back!

Having said that, I didn't order a steak after the banana nut chicken caught my eye. This fried chicken breast in a banana nut glaze was delicious and unique. This dish is worth a visit in itself. There was also a good deal in the special menu for two with a selection of entrees for $15 each. Portions were large and everyone enjoyed their selection. Service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance inside the old, Main Street building screams elegance.

My husband and I decided to give this place another try for brunch today. We had been another time…read morefor lunch and the food was ok but service was extremely slow. We were the first people to be seated as the doors opened at 11. We waited once again for awhile before our server approached our table. We each ordered the All American breakfast. I ordered my eggs fried hard and the waitress seemed confused by that. I explained so they were just not runny. I also asked for an english muffin instead of biscuit. She had to go back to check and see if that was ok? She came back and said it would be a $1 upcharge and I said fine. My husband ordered his with eggs over medium, ham and biscuit was fine. We did not see our waitress again for refills or anything. 30 minutes later and after seeing other people's food come out(we were first ones in the restaurant) this meal came out. Eggs were burnt on other side, hashbrowns cold, bacon was premade and cold and my husband got bacon not ham. There was no chance I was eating what came out. 30 minutes and food cold and missing items. My husband asked for manager and explained we were not eating this food and that we really tried to give them a second chance. Will not be returning.

The Trail Mate was cool, but I really enjoyed the cream ale. It was light, and had a small hint of cream soda. Ending a day of hiking and river swimming at the Lazy Hiker was fantastic. I would 100% come back. About that Lazy Hiker food truck... sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe not good. I'd give that a 3/5. They have no mayo on hand but make burgers... No mayo for the bun before it goes on the grill? That's kinda suspect. The burger was alright. It tasted more like a backyard burger with curly fries on the side. To be honest, it paired well with the beers but there's still plenty of room for improvement.
