This is a perfect little hole in the wall. Beautifully cooked burgers, sandwiches, and fries/tots. The fries are hand cut in house which is super awesome! This place is great! Definitely check them out. read more

Good food. Really pricey. Three people ordered: burger/fries/drink and the total (with 18% tip) was over 50 dollars.

Doesn't look like much if you see it from the street, but this has some of the best burgers I've had in the Nashville area. My wife grew up here so we make it up a few times a year and always try to find that local Burger place and this place didn't disappoint. Staff is friendly and the order system is great to customize your order. I had a bunless double waygu black and bleu bacon burger and a sweet potato. It was excellent. We'll be back. read more

Really good super Spicy burger and the fries are hot and crispy! I have seen Daniel working away in here several times. He's an awesome server! read more

We have been wanting to try Ground for awhile. We finally tried it yesterday. The location is sort of non-assuming, but the food was great. My wife had the Black and Blue burger with a side salad. I had the Jr Burger with the French fries. Their fries are some of the best we have ever had. The service was very friendly. We are looking forward to going back frequently. The only disappointment was they were out of shrimp po'boy. But the quality of the burgers made me forget about the po'boy. read more

Favorite burgers in Franklin! Been coming to Ground since the first location opened. Staff is always friendly, and food is on point. Something on the menu for the entire family. read more

Five Stars. Casual, diner-like. Spicy shrimp po-boy rocks. Had the 4Alarm burger as well. All members of our family were pleased. Order kiosk took a moment to know but it ensures accuracy and makes you aware of options. They have sweet potatoes as a side! Fries were great but nice to see salad options. We felt like this was a genuinely great meal value. High quality. Great taste. Fun dining location. This was the Franklin Main St location. Outdoor seating also available. And takeaway. read more

I ordered a shrimp poboy and the shrimp tasted old and ammonia-y. My fiancé's burger was cooked medium rare/rare and had to take it back. My friends burger was cooked medium rare. She took it back to the cook and they literally put the burger she bit off of back on the grill. That's absolutely unacceptable and very disappointing. read more

Daniel and the other staff were awesome. I was reminded why I love the experience of going to Ground's TWO locations in Franklin. The crispiest fries and freshest toppings. CELIAC FRIENDLY! best gluten free bun you will ever find. read more

I ordered food to go and they left out my entire burger patty. I'm trying to call and message to get a hold of them but no one answers the phone. I'm astonished at the level or lack there of of customer service. I may as well have got to McDonald's.... At list there would have been meat in my burger. read more

Love this place! Excellent burgers and great for families. The Whiskey Burger was the best craft burger we've had anywhere in CA or TN. So good. The fries are close to perfect, and the portions are generous. They have a loyalty program and kids eat free on Saturdays with purchase of adults meals. And I can't forget to mention the service! Always friendly! This place is now our go to since our kids are tired of pizza and BBQ! read more

Wow! This place makes a damn good burger. My husband and I just tried this place for the first time and were blown away. He ordered the Jordan's BBQ burger with sweet potato fries, and I had the Pioneer burger with hand cut fries. Both were juicy and full of flavor. The burgers were a generous size, and the fries were plentiful. We ordered our food for takeout, and it was ready, hot, and on time. We will definitely be regular customers! read more

DIY spud was delicious. Wagyu burger was good with the best sweet potato fries ever! Place is small, casual, good atmosphere, and staff was friendly. read more

I usually love Ground! But this time around I did not have a good experience. My daughter has a dairy and egg allergy. The front person was not helpful in navigating the allergies. He didn't bother to check ingredients and went off of "I don't think so." Unfortunately won't be back. read more

This could easily have been a Five Star experience, this is my review. The wife and I wanted to try something new and we'd both seen the new burger joint and heard great things about it. We took a chance and made the drive across town to Ground. Walking in we were greeted by the man behind the counter and the sweet smell of burgers and fries, but my attention was immediately drawn to the floor which was sticky and in need of some attention. Cool 70's music was on the radio and baseball was on the two TVs overhead. It was a perfect summertime vibe. I chose their Skinny Dip with Sweet potatoe fries, my wife had the Four Alarm burger on the gluten-free bun with regular fries. I wish I had ordered something on the gluten-free bun because the burger was so good I wanted more of it. I tasted my wife's Four Alarm and it was really good. Cooked perfectly and deliciously seasoned. The fries were also pretty damn good. Guys you have a great thing going there keep it shiney. The floors kinda turned me off. Your first impression is huge. People want to walk into a nice clean establishment. You hit a home run with your great customer service and mouth-watering burger. Now Grand-slamify!! Take a little initiative, polish up the place in your spare time. And I will say it was so good, I took my son back there later on in the day to enjoy a delicious burger. He totally enjoyed the food, but felt my pain. Thanks guys read more

Food is delicious and only matched by great service! Everything is incredibly fresh. Best burger around. If you are local or in town visiting... highly recommend! read more

Great place!!! Food is very flavorful! Recommended! And kids eat free on Saturdays!!

Went to Ground for the first time today. Daniel, Aaron and Mark knocked lunch out of the park! Nothing better than a burger but when paired with hand cut fries, you just can't go wrong! Salads are fantastic and if you are doing a low carb thing, order the "skinny" burger. Can't wait to come Back! read more

Fresh and delicious! Best burger in town. Quick, friendly service. Bonus is kids eat free on Saturday (under12y meal covered for each $10 spent). The Mushroom Swiss rocks. My husband got the Impossible Burger. Little one got cheeseburger. We were all happy campers! read more

Excellent salad! I never ran out of toppings and it was so good. Could have shared it. It was Large!

This is my first time at Ground located on W. Main Rd. in Franklin. I ordered a chicken sandwich and the hand cut fries my buddy order the pioneer burger one was a single the other was a double pioneer burger. We arrived around 11:15 AM and were immediately greeted by the staff. We waited in a very short line and had our food within about 10 minutes. My buddies raved about their pioneer burgers. My chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly and I added avocado to the fold as well as the hand cut fries. There was a decent crowd inside and everyone warned me that I would be very fall once I completed my meal. Where do you get it to go or where do you get it to stay food is very good. I have not been to the other location of ground however this one is very convenient to work and I was suggest any Downtowner's or Franklin natives to hit this spot. A great valueAnd excellent service. Parking is in front of the building and around it can be tight during lunchtime but I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great lunch. read more

Love this place! Stopped here for lunch while on a business trip and definitely don't regret it. Such a cool atmosphere. Ordered quickly and the food came out very fast. Everything was delicious! I ordered the El Toro Jumbo Spud and it was fantastic! The employees were very friendly and checked in is multiple times throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and amount of food you receive. If you are considering eating here, do it! read more

Ground Restaurant - El Toro Jumbo Spud - Burgers Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

it was very good but just missing something I can't quite put my hands on. the beef was good, it was NOT a skinny patty so they were able to cook it to order......I will probably try it again and have to recommend it to you/others but it's not in my top two in Franklin at this point......I had the 4 Alarm and the flavor was good....still not sure what wasn't there...............stay tuned. read more

The food is so, so good. The service is so, so slow. We've been fans of Ground since shortly after the first location opened, because the burgers & salads really are that good. But their time management & inadequate staffing are huge problems that have made us less & less likely to come here as time goes on. At the moment, we've been waiting 70+ minutes for a fairly simple (3 burgers + fries) takeout order that hasn't been started yet. We love Ground's burgers, but not this much. Something needs to change. read more

Great food, recommend spicy chicken as well as their burgers. Friendly staff. Easy ordering via modern touch screens.

Let me start by saying it's a really good burger...but you shouldn't have to wait an hour and 10 minutes for it. I ordered 3 burgers and a kids chicken tenders at 7:15 and didn't start eating till 8:25. And the fries were not even hot. I love hole in the wall places but I just can't wait that long for a burger. read more

I love the little home town restaurants. We try to find them in the towns we go to visit while on vacation. This one did not disappoint. It was very good. Loved the homemade dressings. Thank you for a very good experience. Delo read more

Just happened to be passing through the Franklin area again, I was about to start geocaching and realized it was lunch time. Looked around at restaurants nearby, and decided to head the Ground again - a bit out of the way to the route I had planned, but it was worth the trip -- AGAIN! This time I signed up for their loyalty program! :) I ordered one of their daily specials, the Ground Melt: two patties, cheese, and caramelized onions on Texas toast. Decided to try a sweet potato instead of their delicious French fries - very happy I did so! Such a great alternative! I haven't found all of the caches in the Franklin area yet, so I'll be back! read more

Absolutely terrible, do not waste your time. got fried mushrooms, a salad and a lettuce wrap burger. The mushrooms were burnt and they used a corn type breading that was off putting. The lettuce in the salad was starting to rot and the burger was nothing special. I guess I wasn't expecting fast food from this place but it was worse. read more

A locals favorite burger!! Salads, Burgers, fries are fresh! We take all our friends to this place cause who doesn't love a great burger joint!! read more

IWow - the Pioneer burger was outstanding and the fries were great. The toasted bun helped elevate the flavor. The location is small and it's self-service, but size and atmosphere don't distract from the tasty food. The counter staff was excellent and my order was called in less than 5 minutes. It's great to have a non-fast food burger option on the west side of Franklin so the Cool Sprin gs traffic and hunting a parking spot downtown are not an issue. read more

Ground Restaurant - Double Pioneer burger with provolone and fries. - Burgers Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

We went here on a Saturday with our toddler (taking advantage of the free kids meal with adult entree- limited time) The food was awesome! We ordered the fried pickles and each had a burger with fries. Our daughter had a smaller burger with sliced apples. The fries are the fresh cut kind, and the portions were large. It was fairly busy when we were there, but the wait wasn't too long. Friendly staff. We will definitely return! read more

Friendly, helpful staff!! The food was great! The Chicken tenders and fries were delicious. We were greeted by a gentleman that helped us order with the kiosk because it was our first time. Very nice hospitality. read more

Sad to post this review. Ground was our go to spot. No longer. Poor environment, poor service, poor food quality. They changed to a self ordering system to QR code or via the computer at the counter. My guess for this is to reduce the cost of labor. There were two young men behind the counter to process the orders. The new ordering system removes the urgency for the cooks to have customer service etiquette. After the annoying food ordering process we had the pleasure of sitting in the dirty lobby and listening to the cooks openly discuss various topics like how they ate something bad and got sick for two weeks, or made comments about my guest wanting their patty well done...something to the effect of "if I ever order my burger like this, slap me in the face with it". I was also able to count three times that one particular worker wiped his nose with the back of his hand/wrist area. The elderly couple that came in behind us was greeted with the workers discussing "after this order lets start to get this place cleaned up so we can get out of here ASAP" referencing the potential severe weather....2 hours before closing... Last comments about the food. All three of the burgers came well done when we only requested it on one. I ordered my favorite four alarm fire burger. It came without the onion straws and the spicy ranch. I ended up eating a few bites but threw the rest away as well as my wifes burger, then made food out of the fridge. I did not order the wings when I found out it was $13 for a 6 count...maybe they are big wings? Didnt want to gamble to find out. If the restaurant continues this way they will be closed by the end of the year unfortunately. We loved this place, took our kids on the weekends. I hate to leave such a lengthy review but the experience was truly disappointing. read more

Simple, unpretentious, best hamburgers! I don't eat hamburgers often, but when I do, this is the one place I like to go!

We tried Ground on West Main Street for the first time today. I had the pioneer burger with fries. The burger was great and the fries were seasoned heavily with salt and pepper. I thought the fries were delicious but some diners may think they were a little heavy on the seasoning. The service was fast and the staff was helpful and friendly. Great little burger place in my opinion! read more

Amazing, addictive fresh cut fries! The burgers are great but really wanted to try the latest special posted: catfish poboys. Per their friendly staff, they use Gambino's bakery bread and a spicy breading for the catfish. I felt like I was eating a poboy in New Orleans. So good! I'll be back for another before this round of specials end. read more

We tried Ground a few weeks ago and were very impressed. We both tried the turkey burger, which can be dry, but they were moist and very flavorful! All the options of toppings is great too. And they give a boat load of fries with the burgers! We will be back! read more
