She went above and beyond for the people waiting despite no benefit/extra tips that would be received from the already paid for carry out people, and was simultaneously encouraging and helpful to her staff.. There was even a mixup of orders and I was handed the wrong bag, she corrected the mistake and even reassured and handled the other guy who was grumpy and rude about the mixup and his "15 minute wait" with class and compassion, I believe refunding him and making things right while also handling everything and everyone else with grace and kindness.. She was caring to people, efficient at her job, on top of things despite the confusion and delays, and had the eyes + smile of an angel

Decor was minimalistic and cute inside. I could tell their products were clean and fresh! We have now ordered twice and each time our pick up order is ready promptly, even during lunch rush. The quality and the detail is still there each time! We all ordered the Mexican Street Corn Caesar two of us got chicken and one got the tamari salmon (bonus points for only being +$1 to sub for salmon or steak!) Very flavorful, the slice of lime is the perfect finishing touch! Squeeze that bad boy on and watch your world get rocked! We were all surprisingly full after the bowl, it didn't make us feel too bloated we were satisfied. It was worth every penny! (I also ordered a side of Grilled Pita and Hummus because I was thinking it wasn't going to fill me up and boy was I wrong because it did, but I was more than happy with the pita! You could taste the freshness, the pita was so soft. The hummus was smooth and creamy) Pro tip: Treat yourself and ORDER THE COOKIE. I repeat, just do it. Order that cookie. We are all HOOKED! The cookie is one of the best cookies out there at a lunch establishment! The hint of sea salt, the quality of the chocolate, the way the chocolate is THROUGHOUT the cookie (mirroring a layered cookie but still thin) is impeccable! Wait until your home and with glass of milk - perfection. Eat it as is plain - continued perfection. Make it an froyo sammy with their vanilla froyo - a perfect idea. No matter how you enjoy your cookie, it's going to be worth it. P.S. there is parking along the street, as well as a parking garage! Located tucked next to North Italia and Condado Tacos. Jenis is across the street, along with a wine bar. Perfect place for you to try next!

This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had at a CAVA…read more From the moment my family walked in, we were never greeted. Instead, the staff acted as though we were inconveniencing them by simply being there. Customer service was practically nonexistent. The person working the register who appeared to be a manager was especially rude. Rather than handing us our food, they literally slid our order across the counter with no courtesy or professionalism. The atmosphere was just as disappointing. The dining area was filthy. Nearly every table was covered in stains and looked like it hadn't been wiped down since lunchtime. It made the entire restaurant feel unsanitary and uninviting. As for the food, it was what I'd normally expect from CAVA, so no major complaints there. However, the fountain drinks were so watered down that I couldn't distinguish one flavor from another. I'm visiting Nashville on vacation, and this location left a terrible impression. I would absolutely not recommend this CAVA to anyone, and I will never return to this location. There are far too many great places to eat in the area to waste your time and money here.

I thought I was safe ordering the garden omelet, but it was not what I expected. The Swiss cheese was served as a large unmelted piece rather than melted or incorporated into the omelet, there was barely any spinach, and the avocado did not taste fresh. The vegetables also seemed to be placed on top rather than mixed into the omelet. I ended up not eating the omelet because it wasn't enjoyable. I brought my concerns to the staff's attention, but no solution was offered--no remake, replacement, or adjustment to the bill. I understand mistakes happen, but I was especially disappointed by how the situation was handled. Good service can often make up for a mistake, but in this case I left feeling unheard, frustrated, and hungry.

Chopt is a good spot for a casual, quick, and healthy lunch…read more The parking lot they are located in can be a bit hectic at lunch. Find a surface lot in front of the restaurant or the lot behind the building. Both are a short walk. There are 10 minute spots if you are grabbing a to go order. The dining room offers plenty of seating with lots of natural light. There are booths for four and cozy booths for two. Getting lunch to go is so easy with Chopt. Orders can be placed on the app and grabbed from the cubbies to the left of the registers. My food has always been ready by the promised time. An employee is always behind the cubbies in case you need to talk to someone. On my last visit an employee noticed I'd have trouble grabbing my order with my toddler on my hip. She grabbed my order and brought it right around. Ordering in line feels like yelling the same thing over and over again. I wonder if marking off options on a sheet of paper would be better for everyone. It's not too bad if you're getting one item, but it's a lot if you have multiple items. The prices are reasonable for a healthier option. I find the bowls to be plenty of food. I like that bowls usually have a couple of protein sources. The bowls for kids are also a generous portion for just under $8. The food is delicious. Everything looks and tastes fresh. There are enough topping options and dressings to mix it up. The seasonal offerings have always been tasty. The Harvest Bowl is my favorite bowl. You choose your rice base and it has sweet potatoes, kale, apples, goat cheese, almonds, and dried cranberries. The white balsamic dressing is great with the other flavors. I enjoy the small piece of bread on the side. Chopt is on my list of favorites for a quick, healthy lunch. If you're a regular make sure to get the app for rewards and promos!

# -- True Hospitality Reveals Itself When Things Go Wrong…read more **Culinary Dropout** 4020 Aspen Grove Drive Franklin, TN 37067 A flawless dining experience is always a pleasure. But I have long believed that the true measure of a restaurant isn't how it performs when everything goes according to plan. It's how it responds when something doesn't. After a full day of traveling, our party of four arrived at Culinary Dropout, looking forward to our first proper meal of the day and an opportunity to relax and enjoy each other's company. It was my first visit, and I was immediately impressed by the restaurant's size, lively atmosphere, and inviting ambiance. We arrived just as the live music was coming to an end. Our evening began with a few minor hiccups. Our initial server, who candidly mentioned that it was her first day, managed to get virtually every drink order wrong. Shortly afterward, another server, Jayden, introduced herself and took over our table. And this is where the experience became particularly noteworthy. Rather than making excuses or minimizing the situation, the staff and management took ownership of the mistakes. There were sincere apologies, attentive service, and a remarkably generous gesture of goodwill. What could easily have become an irritating start to the evening instead turned into a memorable introduction to genuine Southern hospitality. As for the food, we ordered fish and chips, turkey pastrami sandwiches, and a burger. Everything arrived fresh, well-prepared, and flavorful. The kitchen delivered exactly what one hopes for from this style of casual American dining: satisfying, well-executed food without unnecessary pretension. All four of us have worked in the hospitality industry at one point or another, so we understand that mistakes are inevitable, particularly when new employees are finding their footing. **Our five-star rating is entirely intentional.** Not because the evening was flawless, but because Culinary Dropout demonstrated something arguably more valuable than perfection: accountability, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to hospitality. The food was certainly good, but it was the people who left the strongest impression. **A restaurant's character is rarely revealed when everything goes right. On this occasion, Culinary Dropout showed us its character when something went wrong.** And we liked what we saw.

Inexpensive but packed with tasty options and flavors, I'll always go out of my way to go to JamBox…read morewhen I have the craving for a deli sandwich. Initially started as a pop-up within Fait La Force Brewing, this location is their first brick-and-mortar full service location. Right off highway 96 in the main strip of Franklin, it's got easy, plentiful parking allowing me to get in and out really easily. I primarily come here for takeout, where I order ahead online, come in and pick up a completely sandwich, and go home to eat the messy deliciousness in peace. I've tried a few different options on my various visits here but my tried and true favorites continue to be the cranberry linger, a turkey / cranberry / Alabama white slaw / cheddar potato chip-stuffed sub. OR I also really love the Californication, which adds some spicy cheese, jalapeño slaw, and pepper jam to roasted chicken in a sub. Generally speaking, anytime they put chips on a sandwich, I'm likely to get it here. I'm blown away by the amount of interesting options and how tasty everything comes together. This is not your average subway meal. Each sub is music-inspired (with a catchy name) and some fresh, flavorful combinations with a lot of slaws and things made in house. I love that when you order a sandwich with chips inside to go, they put the chips in a separate bag so they don't get soggy while traveling. The sandwiches are huge, so I tend to get a half order sandwich and that fills me up as a meal. All the small thoughtful details from the staff are on showcase when you order from this spot. They are always so helpful in giving recommendations, making sure I am able to pick up my to go order quickly and with fresh-made food, and it's an overall awesome spot for lunch. I will continue to always choose them over other sandwich options in the area for fast, easy way service and just incredibly tasty options (FAR above what the chains are doing) at a very reasonably cheap price.
