This is a dependable spot for a good breakfast with friendly service, with a super convenient location right on the Main Street square in downtown Franklin. They have pretty much all your normal breakfast fare, along with (of course) some options that skew Southern. There are also some unique and tasty options to choose from. I've had a good experience every time I've visited. read more

Delicious brunch- the eggs Benedict peace maker was great as you could try two different ones- went with the OG with bacon and tomato and the bayou shrimp with pork Tasso and fried green tomatoes. My brunch mates got the avocado toast and biscuits and gravy and loved both! read more

Our big (8) family ordered all over the menu and didn't land on a dish that disappoints! The waitress was knowledgeable, the portions were plenteous, and the vibe was fresh. read more

Genuinely one of my favorite brunch spots! The fried green tomatoes and Bloody Mary's I could eat and drink non stop! Only downfall is it's not the biggest place so there is usually a long wait, I recommend checking in online before you arrive. read more

While visiting Franklin, I noticed Ruby Sunshine were advertising beignets. Ruby Slipper came to mind (from New Orleans) and sure enough, they're associated. That gave me reason to stop. Glad we did. Great service and delicious food. read more

I wasn't a fan. We had a 45m wait. When we sat down. It took the server close to 10m before he greeted us. I understand Sunday is a busy day for brunch. We sat down before noon. They were out of fried green tomatoes which wa the reason we chose the restaurant. I ordered the French toast bites and potatoes. My kids had chicken and bites. He forgot to bring out the iced coffee. Apologized and said it was on the house. Just for it to still be on the bill. I couldn't finish my food as my stomach was hurting instantly after a few bites. read more

Wow, what a great breakfast. Make sure to get the loaded tot breakfast appetizer. The Tasso cream sauce would be good on a tire!! I had the breakfast tacos with chorizo and they were really good. There assortment of different Benedicts you can order is off the charts! We are here because Biscuit Love was close due to some mechanical issues. Ruby Sunshine is within walking distance and did not disappoint. I now have two favorite places in Franklin. Also, Aspyn did an amazing job of providing service, and she is a really cool aspiring artist with some great music. read more

Ruby Sunshine has......,Great food, great service, and I love the call ahead feature! Highly recommend.

Food and service were great. We ordered beignets and they were sooo good. I mean as good as they are in New Orleans. I also enjoyed the biscuits and gravy, although I think the gravy could have used some spice. Additionally, our waiter was super nice and friendly which just made the whole experience fantastic. I definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Ruby Sunshine Franklin - The Trifecta, Mimosa flight - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

So many things wrong with this place. Their online reservation system was a mess. Our party jumped from being 3rd, 8th, 5th, in line for over an hour which gave us no clear indication on how long we'd have to wait (that was no fault of the staff) Which then ended up being an hour. Once we were seated, it took 45 minutes to get our food, which was blamed on poached eggs being a part of our order. We were seated under one, of three, AC vents that were dripping condensation onto all the tables below. Overall such a disappointing experience. Our waitress was kind and doing her best. Food was not worth the 1hr and 45minutes wait. read more

For my money, Ruby Sunshine is the best breakfast place in Franklin. Went there twice this past week, had the avocado toast and chia pudding, both of which were great. The service is quick, and as friendly as can be! Would definitely recommend stopping in if you find yourself in town. read more

The food was good, especially the fried green tomatoes, but my overall experience was so-so when I realized the paper of an old sugar packet was stuck to the inside of my coffee mug.

We were on a civil war tour and we're dropped off in Franklin, Tennessee to have lunch and explore. Ruby Sunshine was within eye distance and they had outdoor seating so we decided to give it a try. It's mostly breakfast/brunch fare and it was perfect. I talked my husband into sharing the 2 bisquit platter with fried chicken, bacon, and gravy. It was more than enough for 2 people....it was huge. Service was good, the atmosphere sitting outside looking out at the small town was great. Franklin is very historic Civil War town with many many cute boutique shops and other eateries. read more

Disappointing. This place is more of a copycat restaurant than the New Orleans themed franchise it proclaims to be. The menu has elements of its New Orleans roots, the execution of the cooking is not up to par. This place wouldn't last five minutes in New Orleans. We found the beignets to be doughy and flat. The shrimp and grits as well as the stand alone grits were watery and bland. The portions were small especially for the price. A single, small pancake costs $4.50. The bayou shrimp Benny was decent but was only lukewarm when served. It feels like the Ruby Brunch corporate entity took its franchisees' money, gave them a menu, and said "good luck with your new restaurant ". There is no evidence of training on the quality of the food. read more

I recently attended a Yelp elite after-hours event at this Ruby Sunshine location. We were treated to brunch food and drink pairings as follows: -Seasonal Beignets w/ Pig Candy Bacon Bites & a Peach Bellini -Fried Green Tomato with Bacon Onion Jam & a Bloody Mary -Sweet Heat Chicken and French Toast Bites & a Morning Margarita -Biscuits and Gravy & a Creamy Vanilla Iced Coffee Every single item was delicious. My favorite of the drinks was the Morning Margarita, but the Bloody Mary was a close second. It's a spicy bloody which some might not like, but I prefer mine that way. The fried green tomato was great--it and the biscuits and gravy must have been particularly good because my spouse doesn't care for either dish and she loved hers here. The French toast bites were perfect--great flavor and texture and they complimented the "sweet heat chicken" (which didn't seem particularly spicy to me but was good nonetheless) perfectly--great sweet and savory dish. As for beignets, this one was a tad on the "doughy" side but great flavor and crispness on the outside made it the best beignet I've had outside of New Orleans. This was my first time in Ruby Sunshine though I've dined at their sister restaurant the Ruby Slipper in New Orleans. Based on my dining experience, I will definitely be back! Did I mention the service? The staff is great. While it's hard not to go with a Benedict of some sorts when at a brunch spot like this, I'll definitely be tempted to when next here; at the very least I know I'll be adding some fried green tomatoes to my tab! read more

Amazing their southern BLT is the best, been here two weeks and have gone back twice for it. Waiters are amazing and always get 30% tip

The food and service was very good. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. I'd go back.

Food was excellent! The staff were fun & helpful. We arrived early to beat the rush & we're glad we did. We will definitely be back!

amazing food! You'll need to get on the waiting list on the website, but it's worth the effort!

Stood up front upon arrival for 5 minutes waiting to be greeted. One person left in front of me because no one had come up for him. Ordered sweet heat chicken and French toast bites. French toast was hard. Ran completely out of coffee and ice water. Finally asked a hostess if she could get me more. My server hasn't come back in at least 20 minutes. Currently waiting to leave but can't get my check. Haven't been here in a Long Time and won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

Sunday brunch is busy so be prepared to wait but it was worth it! All of us had food allergies and we were all accommodated.

Ehhh we stumbled across this crowded establishment one day while in downtown Franklin. After, seeing numerous people come in and out we were sold on giving them a try. Our wait wasn't too long maybe 30 minutes, which is great during brunch hours on the weekends. I can't say that I was pleased with my meal. The chicken tasted rather burnt and wasn't nothing spectacular about the dish. Especially the French toast bites that seem to be a "favorite." I have always wanted to try this place, but after this experience I'm ok not trying it again. Ruby sunshine is supposed to give NOLA/Cajun/Bayou vibes and it definitely didn't give that with the meals ordered on this day. (Not pictured the two other meals that weren't pleasing for the price) I absolutely love the city of New Orleans' food and atmosphere, but this place did NOT do New Orleans justice. Try it for yourself and hopefully you'll have a better experience. read more

Ruby Sunshine Franklin - French Toast with chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Two of the three breakfasts came out cold. The beignets were over cooked. They did remake those breakfasts. My wife ordered a second mimosa. It came out 20-25 minutes later when the server brought the bill. They took off the two breakfasts and beignets the bill. The server was nice but quick at all. I won't go back. read more

A lovely cafe experience. The restaurant is bright and cheery inside which fits the name. I got the biscuits and gravy with an additional couple pieces of fried chicken. The chicken was amazingly tender and the breading was perfect in flavor and doneness. The biscuits were so fluffy and awesome. The gravy was overflowing with flavor, and the actual sausage pieces in it were great to have, not everywhere does that. The coffee and eggs were okay. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday morning. Understandably it was PACKED. We were on the waitlist beforehand and still had to wait about 45 mins to be seated. Then we waited another 45 mins for food once we finally ordered. I ordered coffee, which was okay but lukewarm. The unique concepts for Egg Benedict were interesting to me but the poached egg was overcooked. read more

I really enjoyed this spot in New Orleans, so imagine my excitement when I realized they had a location in TN! We came her for brunch & it did not disappoint. I had some type of seafood omelette & a coffee drink from the bar. To be honest, it didn't taste like much alcohol was added - if at all; so skip the spiked coffee drink. Bae liked his white chocolate bread pudding pancakes. Not going to include the pics, because they didn't do the meal any justice. Worth the visit, enjoy! read more

So this is an odd one. The staff is GREAT. The presentation of food is REALLY lovely. The taste, however, is just... okay. It wasn't bad! You won't have a bad meal here. But most of the food was juuuust on the side of flavorless, or - as in the French toast bites - extremely dry. The flavored coffee, mind you, is about sixty times Too Flavored, and comes premixed so you can't adjust that, thus... maybe that balances out? Nothing wrong with the place, and we had a good time, but I don't think we'll be back. read more

Really tasty, filling place that exactly meets the mark - brunch w/ friends and/or mimosas to share. Quality of food is excellent - the benedict sampler is awesome and has a really nice variety of flavors and preparations. Fried chicken/waffles are very tasty and well made, doing Nashville proud. Service is excellent. Upbeat staff w/ fast and attentive interactions. Great experience. Decor is fun and mimosa-brunch-inspired. Parking is a little bit more challenging - we had to use one of the public lots outside as this location is in downtown Franklin around the roundabout/circle. We got the mimosa flight each - you know what you're getting yourself into and it's exactly as you expect. Great variety and a good proportion of bubbly/juice. read more
