    Take it from a Southern California native -- THIS is *REAL* authentic Mexican food. Oscar's Taco Shop (though claiming to be SoCal Mex) is NOT. (Most other "Mexican" restaurants in this area are NOT). (If you have any doubts just look at the clientele - This is the place the Mexicans go to eat after they get off work cooking your food in the restaurants, LOL). I could go on about how thrilled we were to find this gem out here & how other "mexican" restaurants around here don't begin to compare, but... well, just stop in & experience the muy-delicioso-ness of it all!! :-D . Very sweet, friendly, humble people; great service; amazing food; tables to eat at; warm ambience. Mexican store & butcher shop as well. Extensive selection of pan dulce (sweet bread/pastries) that looked really good & freshly made to me, even though we visited at dinnertime (not like the more dried-out pan dulces I've seen). Extensive selection of meats too. Oh, and don't forget to stop by the Paletas (mexican popsicles) shop next to it.! (PS - Someone listed this as 3 $ signs? - not at all.. I would say one $ sign; I'll see if I can change it).

    Here is the one pound of fat I just received from Los Compadres. Beware. Total RIPPOFF

    My experience at The Butcher Block was incomparable to any other butcher shop I have ever visited…read more I wanted to purchase a 320 dry aged Rib-eye with no real knowledge on how to prepare it. For any of you who don't know, that is a very expensive steak!!!! Instead of just letting me buy it and making the profits, EM (the owner) came out to talk to me about how to properly cook the tasty meat. Once I realized I was in over my head, I changed my order to a fantastic Prime cut Rib-eye. Here is when the whole experience turned from great to ARE YOU SERIOUS GREAT!!! EM spoke with me for a coupe minutes on how she prepares her dry aged and after seeing how interested I was in her process she turns to one of her employees and says "Hey, Trim that dry aged Rib-eye up and let him have it on me" I couldn't believe my ears. Talk about a customer experience and a love for what you do. Most butcher shops I have been to expect you to know everything about the meat you are interested in and if you dont, they can be jerks about it. NOT EM!!!! She takes pride in what she does and is willing to have a conversation to help build your knowledge about the process and how to get the best taste out of her products. I Cant Say enough about The Butcher Block!!! If you haven't been, you have to go. Ill be back soon!!!!!

    I visited the Carothers Pkwy 05-July-2024: 12:52pm…read more The customer service was slow. The entire staff was too busy to greet me the customer on a timed lunch schedule. It wasn't a welcoming atmosphere. I wanted to like the place but there was a missed opportunity.

    Hogwood BBQ - The Colorado Sandwich with 1 Side(Mac n cheese) - YUMMY!

    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.

    A very good visit to Hogwood BBQ! This is in a little strip mall so parking out front is pretty…read moreeasy. Order at the counter, then find a seat. 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!

    We've been driving by this place for years (at least 25 years) and finally decided to stop in last…read morenight, and I'm glad we did. We were greeted right away by the owner and seated in a comfortable booth in the back. The space offers a nice mix of tables, booths, and bar seating. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the start. After we ordered, she brought out a basket of biscuits, three for the two of us, which was a bit curious, but no complaints here. The second basket came soon after the first. They were light, slightly sweet, and really good. For my entrée, I went with the Louisiana Bayou Shrimp with Crawfish with a side of corn. Wow, great flavor with just the right amount of kick, and they didn't skimp on the shrimp or crawfish. Portion size was spot on. My wife kept it a bit more traditional with the Southern Fried Chicken Salad, which was fresh and very well done. Safe to say, we won't wait another 30 years to come back. I've already got my eye on the blueberry cobbler next time. If you live in Franklin, don't make the same mistake we did, give this place a try sooner rather than later. Cheers!

The presentation and amount per serving was amazing. Would highly recommend either the pork chops or the apricot chicken. Highly recommend this establishment and our server (Ashlee) was courteous and super nice!
