    Really great donuts!! The one pictured is their normal sugar but the maple glazed is the one you need to get!!

    The line at Ellie's speaks for itself. These are the best cake donuts I have ever had. Super moist, flavorful but still with a bite to it. We got the pumpkin and blueberry pancake and only $3 for both?? Going back to buy a dozen more next time!

    How have I not reviewed yet? These are the best doughnuts in Tennessee. They are hot and FRESH. We always make a point to get them when we see the truck but we recently went out of our way to support with all that's going on in the world right now. We ordered a dozen to keep at home (ended up with 16 bc the owner is so sweet and always gives us extra for the road) and they only lasted 2 days... oops. Every flavor is great but the OG cinnamon sugar is addicting. You can find them at any Downtown Franklin event or the farmers market every Saturday morning.

    They are all delicious, but the maple glazed were my favorite. You also can't go wrong with chocolate. Every city needs and Ellie's!

From the moment you pull up, it's pure country charm -- the rustic copper-toned trailer with its cute wreaths, string lights, and "The Steel Pony" signage instantly makes you smile. It feels like stepping into a storybook scene surrounded by beautiful farmland. The menu is fantastic! We grabbed some delicious coffee drinks that were perfectly crafted and full of rich flavor. They also offer specialized lemonades and other refreshing, sweet soda options that are perfect for a warm day. Everything tasted fresh and high-quality -- you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The service was just as wonderful. A sweet teenage girl helped us with the friendliest smile and great recommendations. She made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming, like visiting a neighbor rather than just grabbing a drink. After ordering, we settled into the relaxing chairs nearby, sipped our drinks, and just soaked in the peaceful views of the rolling fields and greenery. It's the perfect spot to unwind, chat, or simply enjoy a quiet moment in nature. If you're anywhere near Leiper's Fork, do yourself a favor and stop by The Steel Pony. Unique, delicious, and utterly charming -- we'll definitely be back! Highly recommend for coffee lovers and anyone looking for a lovely little escape.

    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!

    I LOVE TACOS!!!!!…read more This place was an amazing taco restaurant. It was very crowded which is a good sign that it had good food and the tacos did not disappoint! The corn shell was very crispy and I had grilled chicken in mine which was very well cooked. And put together it makes a 10/10 taco! Even though it was crowded they still brought our food out very quickly and the quality of the food was amazing. When you walk in it gives you the essence of Mexico even though it is not the cleanest restaurant it is amazing for a mall restaurant. I totally recommend going for Mojo's tacos if you are inside the factory!

This can be a busy spot. The line can get long and be slow moving, but the food comes out quickly once you have ordered. I've ordered a variety of tacos and enjoyed what I've ordered. The Birria is one of my favorites. It's a greasy treat. The Fried Shrimp and Fried Fish tacos are good with saucy slaw. I like the pickled onions on the Fried Shrimp taco. Barbacoa is more simple with tender meat, onions, and cilantro. My daughter enjoys the kid's meal with a cheeseburger and fries. The order of Chips and Salsa is delicious. It's plenty of chips for a table to share. Mojo's is a spot worth checking out if find yourself at The Factory looking for a casual dining option.
