    Create atmosphere, and amazing service! As soon as we sat down, our server brought us chips and salsa, which was delicious. The interior is creatively decorated and very energetic! I got the steak burrito (big as yo' face burrito) with Tex-Mex sauce, and it was delicious! It came with lots of sauce, which made it even better. The steak was cooked perfectly, and it was all around a great dish. Plenty of parking outside as well as an outdoor patio! My group had an amazing experience here, and I would definitely recommend it! I will definitely be back soon! Thanks, Chuys!

    I was in Franklin and wanting some Mexican (tex Mex). I saw some promising reviews here on Yelp but, after reading, it left little to be desired. I saw that there is a Mexican franchise (Tito's) which I had tried in their Bellevue location and it was a real disaster. I honestly wasn't even aware they were all affiliated until I saw the owner responses to each negative review and it was the same owner who had responded to my review from 2021. So I opted for something else. Chuy's is cheap and cheerful. Immediately seated and served. I used to get the Elvis special but, last time I got it, there was WAY too much food. So I looked and narrowed it down to either the tamales or Chimichanga. I got the most Americanized thing and got the chimichanga. I used their creamy jalapeno ranch sauce and it was very good. The beans were not really that good but the price was extremely right I could not complain. These Franklin Mexican restaurants are not very good. Franklin excels in most areas and restaurant types but Mexican is not one of them. I returned home to Antioch with a full belly and satisfied. Antioch still has the best Mexican in Nashville.

    Craving Mexican (not authentic) definitely would recommend Chuy's for a decent cheap mexican meal. To start most mexican restaurants just have complimentary salsa but Chuys not only has salsa but the creamy jalapeño sauce that I really enjoy. My go to entrees are typically #1 chicka chicka boom boom or #2 Chicken fajtias both are good. The service is typically fast, very family friendly environment . I've never had a issue with the wait staff, as they have always been helpful and friendly. Another plus about the restaurant is happy hour with complimentary nacho bar.

    So, if I could go 1/2 stars, I would have been good with a solid 2.5 for this Chuy's location...but since I can't, a solid 3 stars it is. And I really love the Chuy's brand, but this location has some of the most off-putting service I have experienced compared to the many Chuy's I have visited around the country. This particular Chuy's is located on Mallory Lane in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Franklin. It sits alone, which is a good and a bad thing. The good is you aren't caught up in loads of traffic getting in and out...the bad is parking can get real tight on a busy day and there really isn't a great option for overflow. There is ample spots, but on those busy nights, be prepared. As mentioned, the service has never been good here. I have visited for work luncheons, work dinners and personal dinners and each time I get the same variety of poor service. It doesn't matter what time we come, our server seems annoyed that we are there, and this is the same attitude we get each time we check in with the host stand as well. Our last trip in we decided to belly up to the bar instead of waiting for a table and man, do I wish we would have waited. The bartender was rude, never spoke one word to us outside of asking for our drink orders. It was bizarre for a bar. I will give it to them though, at least they are consistent in their approach. Food wise, I have sampled a few things from the menu including their enchiladas, burritos and tacos. I will say that the oven roasted chicken burrito with the Tex-Mex sauce is where it's at, all day long! The other thing that will keep me coming back is that white goodness aka creamy jalapeno dip! Could put that stuff on a sneaker and I'd happily eat it! Overall, this Chuy's would be a lot better with improved service. Outside of that, this location checks off the boxes for food and location.

    Average food and service. Portions were generous but just cannot compete with authentic Mexican food. About what I expected from a chain.

    The Pond is a self described dive bar located in a strip mall area in Franklin Tennessee…read more I like to patronize places that aren't chains and aren't super popular spots when I travel, as I enjoy being around common folks in areas that I go to. The Pond doesn't disappoint. It is exactly what one would expect when seeking a dive bar atmosphere. A little ratty, a little rowdy and a whole lot of fun. The coup de grace was they had Guinness on tap, which was completely unexpected. We traveled to Franklin looking for an alternative to Broadway in Nashville on our first night in town. It is worth the trip. Franklin is a very old town with great old architecture and buildings over 200 years old that still look stunning. The Pond was the real reason for my drive down although it was our last stop on our tour of Franklin. The staff was friendly, the Hamburger and fries was delicious, and the beer was cold. They have many options to choose from on tap. They have Darts inside and a couch you'd find down in your friends basement that he found on a tree bank trash day, but that simply adds to the dive bar charm. We stayed for one drink and the burger as we were exhausted from a red eye flight the night before. If you're looking for a dive bar that stays open late and apparently gets packed as the night goes on, this is the spot for you. Most places close early in Franklin, so this is apparently the after hours spot that everyone ends up going to when all other options are closed. The Pond reminded me of a few dive bar spots in Vegas, and I have to recommend you pay them a visit, if for no other reason, just to say you've been there.

The food was odd...I was expecting a traditional buffalo chicken dip but instead it was cold. It's a fun time and something unique to do if in Franklin, TN.

Ok now that that's out of the way, let's talk food, entertainment and drinks! Entertainment wise they have karaoke a couple nights a week and the regulars SHOW UP! But they don't hate when newbies come to share in the fun and cheer you on. They had beer bucket special. My friends and I got several and every time there was a different amount of beer in them... one had 6, then 7, then 5. We were very confused but just went with it. They have a full bar and they are averages drinks, nothing to write home about unless you are dying to tell your friends that a place had Tito's and properly added it to your mixer of choice. As far as the food goes, they have your usually quick fried foods. Wings came in a bed of chips. Plenty of sauce. 3/5 for the wings. There were these little fried loaded potatoes that were a little over cooked on the outside, but the inside tasted amazing, just like my mom's twice baked potatoes! 4.5/5 -- would've been a 5 but just a little too crispy and well done for me. Mozzeralla sticks were kinda cold and a log... there was no cheese pull. The chicken tenders and mini cornies were average. Did the job at midnight, but nothing to dream about. All the sauces were from a can/bottle, far from fancy... but not surprised at a place like this. Good vibes and although it's a very local place, everyone seemed fairly friendly and the staff was attentive. They are open until 3am on the weekends, which outside of the downtown nashville area isn't super common. Unfortunately for me, smoking alone bumped this place down in my book quite a bit. I don't live near here so I'm not sure I'll be back, but hope my review helps someone who's on the search for a late night snack/karaoke bar. Well, on to the next bar...
