    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!

    1/2 BBQ BURGER AND HALF SPICY CHICKEN WITH A KICK
    Amy B.

    Good food with great portions. The food came out very fast. We tried the spicy chicken sandwich with a kick, the BBQ burger and the fried pickles. Only downside is the location is due for some upkeep, painting and deep cleaning.

This is a true Irish pub that pours a proper pint of Guinness and a smooth Smithwick's, along with a solid lineup of other beers. If you know, you know and they know how to pour it right. For an appetizer, I kicked things off with 10 "Almost Famous" Wings. Let me just say this clearly: the Nash-Hot wings are the BEST in Franklin. Crispy, flavorful, and bringing just enough heat to remind you that you're alive without requiring a fire extinguisher. For lunch, I went with a classic Irish go-to, the Fish & Chips. The fish had a light, crispy batter and was cooked just right. Flaky, tender, and not greasy. Exactly what you want. My wife ordered the Quinn's Classic Reuben, and it was stacked, melty, and equally impressive. The service is always top notch. Jeffrey, the owner, strolls around the dining room making everyone feel welcome and appreciated -- and that personal touch makes a difference. You can tell this isn't just a restaurant; it's a place people come to gather. And today, February 17th, 2026, congratulations to Jeffrey and Quinn's on celebrating 10 years! That's a big milestone and well deserved. Y'all are awesome. Here's to the next decade!

Well it…read morewas comfortable enough, but if you're looking for bustling crowds and high energy, you've come to the wrong place. The restaurant was near empty at 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon. You won't have a problem carrying on a conversation. In fact, you could have each person of a party of four sit in opposite corners of the place and speak in a whisper, and still spill the tea. Crickets, and I can't explain why. As I mentioned, the food is good. Hearty and tasty. I got the make your own. A simple burger with bacon and avocado, and fries. Delicious. I can't explain why the hoards haven't found their way here. One possible explanation could be that there's a hippie restaurant, Flower Child, right next door. It was drawing pretty heavy on the foot traffic. Then there's the Shake Shack across the parking lot. It too seemed pretty popular. So what it probably comes down to is the old adage, location, location, location. My daughter seems to think that it's name recognition. She could be right. I don't get how Mooyah ties into burgers. Maybe "moo" as in cow? They do have shakes. Is that where the moo comes into play? It's a mystery. Give the Moo your business. You're going to like the food, and if you're a loner, you'll be in heaven. Quick Tip: Pass on the soda and get one of the mixed fruit drinks. They're quite refreshing, and because there's nobody there, your drink will be abundant and cold.

It has Angus Beef, Pepper Jack Cheese, Bacon, Jalapeños, Cholula, Mayo on a Signature Potato Bun. You can custom order anything on the menu to suit your taste, so I had them hold the jalapeños. My husband said I didn't know what I was missing because he thought they were so good on the burger. We also ordered fries, which are some of the best in town. They come in single, shareable, and family portions. We chose to share the shareable size, and it was plenty for two. If you're hungry for burger and fries, this is a good place to go. I will be back, and I will be trying many other things from the menu, to include a shake.Sorry, no pic. I ate it too fast because I too hungry! I will add, the young guy that greeted us and took our order was so friendly and mannerly!! I wanted to tell the manager personally how nice he was, but they were unavailable at the time of my visit

There's also a second bar in the back with several comfortable booths. To drink, I ordered the Drake Margarita, and it was very good. For my entrée, I went with the Buffalo Chicken Minis. You can order either two or three, and of course I went with three! The buns were soft, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and they used just the right amount of buffalo sauce. I added blue cheese for dipping, and wow... sooo good! They also come with your choice of a side, and the Tots were a great pick. We also shared the Rainbow Roll, and I was pleasantly surprised. The sushi here is definitely worth trying! Service was a bit mixed. Our server did a good job, but the bartender was very slow. I didn't receive my Drake Margarita until my Buffalo Chicken Minis had already arrived, which was a little disappointing. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and variety make this a place I'd definitely come back to. If you live in Franklin and haven't checked it out yet, it's worth adding to your list!
