Raw hamburger from Ground Restaurant
John C.

Place was empty, so I should've know by that and the vibe that it was going to suck. Place feels sticky and gross. It needs to be cleaned up. Ordered a plain cheeseburger with bacon and BBQ sauce. It had fried onions on it that I specifically said I did not want. I removed them and took a bite. The meat tasted off, so I looked and my burger was not cooked (pink raw meat). Fries were super salty. My daughter's kids meal, the burger was a tad overcooked. Overall, don't waste your time here. There are better places to go for a burger.

Wow! Thank you for existing. I honestly think these burgers are delicious. If I can say that of a colder version of the burger, I know the fresh version would be even better. This place is located in a shopping center next to a sushi place and a subway. The atmosphere is super chill. They have everything in the kitchen on the open so you see them cook your meal. I had my order to go so I didn't experience the customer service but I know it was pretty funny and super welcoming when I came to pick up my food. Everything seem clean. I would definitely be back when I come to the area. They are also worth just coming to the area for a great burger. Come check them out!

Black N Blue Burger

Honesty is the best policy right? Well I found this on Yelp and it was rated high so since my wife and kids were bugging me to pick a place for my birthday dinner I chose here as it was fairly close for everyone to meet at and my family is kind of picky - usually meat or pizza...I'm more of an ethic flavor but hey it's not about me on my birthday right. Ok enough digression: Ambiance: Strip mall location but they had some outdoor seating that was in a nice shady area right in front of the parking area. Standard indoor basic set up - nothing to rave about. Service: Counter order and pick up as well but the counter staff was super friendly. Food: Average at best - I will say they cooked it perfectly medium rare but the quality of the meat and the amount / quality of blue cheese was not good. I ordered bacon on it as well but got no bacon. Same story for the other burgers. Fries were visibly in large plastic bags behind the register on a metal rack so originally I thought they were frozen but after dialogue with the owner they are hand cut from a fry cutter and definitely not frozen so I stand corrected. Price: For the price it lost its last star...can't rave about a place when your paying $13 avg. for a burger that for me and my family was not quite what we've had from other places (like bad daddy burger bar for comparison) but that's our opinion. Overall: Can't muster more than 3 stars - guys were nice but for the price not quite what we were expecting based on our experience. Keepmunching!!!!

While in Franklin Tennessee we were looking for a good down home burger place and we stumbled upon The Ground which is a staple in Franklin Tennessee. This location has been here for seven years with a sister location on West Main Street in Franklin. The locals love the Ground so much that they are opening up a third location in the very near future. I had the pleasure of meeting Wesson who does a little bit of everything at the Ground, he's been in the restaurant business for 16 years but loves the Ground, not only for their special seasoning blend that goes into thand handmade patties, but because they really care about the customers and the community. Ordering was simple, you can order from your phone with the QR code and you can specialize you order at the counter through touch screen computer. The burgers were juicy and tasty and the fries were great too.

Five Alarm Burger
Rachel L.

Just moved to a new place walking distance from here, and boy am I glad. Ground is wonderful! Local ingredients and fresh flavors. My go to is the five alarm burger, which has great spice, but I wouldn't say is spicy. But it is GOOD! That said, I love spicy so have a high threshold. Side Caesar is beautiful with a dressing that coats everything perfectly. Fried pickles to start I would highly recommend to anyone! Space is cozy, friendly. Good prices and better service. Good parking situation, but very walkable depending on your location. Looking forward to delving deeper into the menu.

Chili cheese spud
Linda L.

Grounds restaurant is bomb. I had the chili cheese baked spud and the apple walnut salad. Both were delicious! The staff were so welcoming, polite and friendly. I wish I had visited more during my short stay in Tennessee.

Chicken Tenders and Sweet Potato Fries

We stopped in while waiting for service at a nearby car dealership. We split the five-piece chicken tenders for lunch and a side of sweet potato fries. The chicken was fantastic! Some of the best tenders I've ever had. Everything was prepared fresh and in clear view, which was great to see, too. The fries were excellent as well. We will have to make a trip back down to Franklin to enjoy this again. Highly recommended!

Receipt
Mark Z.

Pricing is good at $12 for burger and fries, but you get what you pay for. Average (old brown) ground meat, kinda dry burger and average fries, nothing special. Quantity of fries were good and burger toppings seemed fresh. Employees were friendly but I'll stick with 5 Guys or Shake Shack.

Ask the Community - Ground Restaurant

Are you pet friendly outside eating?

Yes

Do you deliver? I called yesterday afternoon and the girl/woman that answered said you didn't deliver!

Yes we sure do. We use Door Dash and Uber Eats for delivery.

Are the fries cooked in peanut oil?

No they are not. We try very hard to accommodate all guests with allergies. For that reason we chose to use soybean oil.

What do I say about Mooyah? The food is good. The service exceptional, and the atmosphere? 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.

Great burger! Wonderful service! Casual atmosphere. My husband and I both chose the most expensive…read moreburger on the menu, which was the Double Diablo for $12.29. 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

3.5 Really good chain restaurant!…read more They have a little bit of everything on the menu, from smash burgers to chicken wings all the way to sushi. I didn't try the sushi this time, but the grilled and fried chicken were both really good. The fried pickles were a great way to kick off the meal, and the BLT salad was amazing too. Will definitely be back!

If you're looking for a casual place to grab a bite, catch the game, or just hang out with friends,…read morethis spot is a great choice! As soon as you walk in, you'll notice there are plenty of seating options. Up front there's a lively bar area along with lots of high-top tables. If you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, grab a seat by the fireplace. On nice days, they open the garage doors, which gives the place a great indoor/outdoor feel. 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!
