    Fried Pickles
    Nancy P.

    We had the fried pickles with home made ranch, patty melt with fries, wagyu burger with sweet potato fries. Service was good, the food came out hot and quick. Pickles were so good and crunchy with the home made ranch. The patty melt and wagyu burger were juicy and delicious. One of the best burgers in town. There's plenty of parking in the park.

    Well I got a to go order placed in the restaurant and walked out not looking at it which is my fault apparently but it was all tied up so it would've been hard to get it open Drove 25 minutes home to find that I didn't get what I ordered. My daughter is so disappointed because she got two measly little chicken tenders when she was supposed to get the two sliders. When you place it to go order in person, it shouldn't be wrong and they weren't busy.

    I had been looking forward to trying Ground, so today we stopped by for lunch to grab a couple burgers. We ordered an appetizer of loaded fries to start. These came out only about five minutes before our burgers arrived. The queso was very mild and the ranch seemed to overpower the dish. For our meals, my husband and I each chose a build your own burger with the wagyu beef. The beef had a great flavor and we both enjoyed our burgers very much. My husband said this may be his favorite Tennessee burger that he has had yet! Our sides were fried pickles, which were okay but not the best I have had, and tater tots, and we shared the two. Overall, we definitely enjoyed our visit, and the burgers will bring us back for a return visit. If you find yourself in Franklin and craving a good burger, be sure to check them out.

    Food On point! Had the Philly Cheesesteak, cesar salad, and Cubano burger, and everything was done really well. The Cheesesteak had a great cook, peppers were still crunchy, onions soft, beef well seasoned, the bread had exceptional flavor and was toasted well. My only thing was the inside fell through the bread as soon as I picked it up, so it turned into a knife-and-forker. The beef for the burger was well seasoned with a nice coarse but not too coarse grind, cooked perfectly and again well-seasoned. Fried piclelswas a good touch along with also having fresh veggies to add as toppings. Service Great! We got to know the owner Matt and learned this location opened 5.5yrs ago while the Cool Springs location opened 9yrs ago. He was very personable while the food was ready quick. Ambiance I really enjoyed the feel of the space at the West Franklin location. Had a real comfortable, like I was eating at home feel. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

    Gotta love this place!! Small town burger joint in Franklin, TN amazing food, small town atmosphere and awesome staff. I just placed and order to go, which you'll have to do there as they aren't currently taking to go orders over the phone. It is really easy though, walk up to the counter (basically to the kitchen) and use the large touch screen to place your order, they make it really really easy to customize your food with their POS system. I got two Pioneer burgers to go with fries and they were all done and ready to go in less than 10 min. The staff was super nice, some young hard working gentlemen, and the place was clean and had a great small town diner vibe. I definitely recommend it here!

The duck fat fries are really addictive and truffle aioli pairs well with them. Also had a chance to try their ranch and that was tasty and did leave that sour taste like store bought ranch. Service Exceptional! Sat at the bar and was immediately greeted. Had the time to relax for a bit and review the menu with no rush to order. Able to accommodate food allergies and had the food brought out quickly. Amibiance Bright, inviting and a nice view of the lake. PLENTY of seating all around. The public house is behind the pizza spot so keep that in mind when heading in. It's nice to be able to look out at the lake and the green area before getting to the restaurant. Would I go back? Absolutely! Want to try many other items on the menu like the lemon pepper calamari, shishito peppers, and the smoked sausage.

I really appreciated how they brought an old-school music theme into the interior design. The sandwiches were just as impressive as the ambiance.

I ordered the Californication Jam Sandwich, which comes with pulled chicken, pepper jack cheese, jalapeño slaw, Doritos, and red hot chili pepper jam. It was absolutely delicious. The jam added the perfect amount of spice and tied all the flavors together beautifully. I also tried the Classic Hero Sandwich, which was equally satisfying and packed with flavor. Overall, this is a unique sandwich spot with great food, creative menu items, and a memorable atmosphere. Definitely a place I'll be returning to!

Service: polite and efficient. (One member of our group thought it was just perfunctory. I felt otherwise.) Food: brewed coffee - meh. Other breakfast food - very very good. Avocado toast was seasoned nicely and slathered generously with mashed avocado. Breakfast tacos were judged just fine. Eggs Benedict absolutely five stars!! Perfectly - runny yolk - poached eggs on top of tender Canadian bacon sitting on lightly toasted English muffins, all covered with a delectable slightly lemon-forward (I loved it) hollandaise. A small, albeit adequate, portion of hashbrowns, accompanied the eggs along with a few fresh greens. I would order this again in a heartbeat. Ambience: here's where Fika stumbled a bit. While, it is technically handicap-accessible, including wheelchairs" it is difficult for someone in a wheelchair to maneuver as attested by folks sitting next to us. Tables are so tightly packed, it is difficult for anyone to maneuver through to get to a table or all the way to the back to get to a restroom. Fortunately, everyone who was there the morning we visited was reasonably polite and made way for a few people who had some ambulatory difficulties, myself included. Biggest drawback for our group of three was that the acoustics were/are horrible. Nothing on the bare walls or ceiling to muffle or enhance the sound. Screaming children (not a complaint, just an observation) sent piercing squeals reverberating off the walls. Polite conversation was virtually impossible. My suggestion would be that the owners hang some sort of draperies or whatever to absorb the deafening cacophony.
