    Biscuits and gravy with a side sweet hot chicken breast
    Daniel Z.

    I have to be honest, walked into two other places in the downtown prior to settling on this place (other two looked historic etc but you ordered at the counter ). We were seated at a booth near the back of the bar and it was perfect (fairly quiet and out of the way). Our waitress, I believe Kelly, was absolutely outstanding. Pleasant, we never needed anything as she was very efficient but let us enjoy our meal. Now the food. Maybe the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. Chunks of sausage with tons of flavor in the gravy. Biscuit was incredible. Silly as this sounds, even the over easy eggs were great. Bacon great flavor but maybe needed another minute in the pan. I ordered a sweet hot chicken breast on the side-holy smokes that was good. Kelly topped off our great experience/meal with to-go coffees.

    The Peacemaker
    Christina L.

    We went here for breakfast, and it was so good! We both got The Peacemaker and did a mix and match for the eggs Benedict. Coffee was good. Server was attentive. The menu had so many options, and we would love to go back and try other menu items.

    I loved the menu... so many things to consider... fried green tomatoes... yum... spicy chicken on a homemade biscuit... yum.... Everything looks amazing... It was really hard to make a choice.. and parking is not easy in Franklin but worth it... very cute area...

    Ordered a delivery order of biscuits and gravy and no gravy was included in the bag. Defiantly ruined my breakfast.

    Appetizer French Toast Bites Starter

    The French toast bites were AMAZING. I ordered the biscuits and gravy but did not care for the gravy, it tasted more like Alfredo sauce which ruined the dish for me. My husband really liked his dish.

    White Chocolate Bread Pudding Pancakes
    Tiffany K.

    I am not the biggest fan of breakfast foods in general, but I love pancakes. And these pancakes... I would come back for. So fluffy! The white chocolate chips satisfied my sweet tooth. The mimosas were great, but the color made me a a bit skeptical (just my opinion). The server was very attentive!

    This is the fried green tomato
    Angela P.

    While the atmosphere and environment were pleasant and clean, the food was lacking. The white chocolate bread pudding pancakes were very good but the southern breakfast, especially the TINY fried green tomato left a lot to be desired. The service was so-so at best. We had to stop our waitress to ask for refills and to check on our food order. Next time we'll go to Puckett's

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    Not when I was there.

    Are there gluten free options?

    They said they were going to get a gluten free menu at some point like their other locations. For now you can modify some dishes, but they don't have gluten free bread or anything like that.

I walked in, glanced at the menu for approximately 2.7 seconds, and knew exactly what destiny had in store for me: the Salted Queen Caramel Latte. (Yes ma'am. Royalty in a cup.) I placed my order with a young lady who was polite, friendly, and engaging, the kind of person who makes you feel like you've been coming there for years, even if you just figured out where to stand. Five-star customer service before the caffeine even hit. Seating options? Oh, they've got you covered. You can sit outside upstairs and pretend you're in a Hallmark movie, or stay inside where it's cool and comfortable. We chose inside. The high-top table had USB ports and electrical plugs, which is a classy move. Nothing says "we care" like letting people charge their phone while they charge their soul. And yes, there's WiFi if you feel the need to actually work instead of just looking productive. Then I heard it, my name called out like I'd just won a prize. I stepped forward... and met my Salted Queen Caramel Latte. Wow. It was better than expected. Smooth. Rich. Perfectly balanced. I took one sip and this Old GOAT almost fainted. Which is ironic... because that's exactly where we were. If you live in Franklin and haven't tried The Fainting Goat Coffee, you're missing out. Go meet the Queen. Just be prepared... you might faint.

    Great experience here! Immediately was thrilled for the parking lot and ease of coming and going…read more Once stepping in, I was thankful for how they set up their orders with a great layout of how they used their space. It didn't take them long for them to make my drink, a salted queen latte, even though they were quite busy. I'm sure thanks to how they have their space setup as well as some fabulous workers! Loved how there were more private booth spaces. Genius! The drink was nummy + exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much, Fainting Goat Coffee!! Hey next time carry more sizes of shirts so I can continue to spread word of your great coffee shop!
