I've even come to sit at the bar and have a plate of these fries!!! I like the Franklin location because it's never busy when I go (dinner time) and the staff is one of the best teams of ppl in the city. They all signed a birthday card for me when I went there to celebrate!! So sweet. My favorite items to order (besides the fries): Henry's Chicken Sandwich Burrata and Beet Salad Grilled Lamb Skewers Harissa Chicken Lentil Bowl Banana Walnut Bread This spot will not disappoint!!! It's become one of my regular spots!!

Wow this place is so relaxing and beautiful! The decor and service is top notch…read more The food was also such high quality! I had the harissa chicken bowl holy YUMMM. You can tell they make everything fresh and tasty.

Food Tried the steak skewers and duck fat fries and really…read moreenjoyed both. Hanger steak cooked to a perfect mid rare, was very moist and flavorful. The duck fat fries are really addictive and truffle aioli pairs well with them. Also had a chance to try their ranch and that was tasty and did leave that sour taste like store bought ranch. Service Exceptional! Sat at the bar and was immediately greeted. Had the time to relax for a bit and review the menu with no rush to order. Able to accommodate food allergies and had the food brought out quickly. Amibiance Bright, inviting and a nice view of the lake. PLENTY of seating all around. The public house is behind the pizza spot so keep that in mind when heading in. It's nice to be able to look out at the lake and the green area before getting to the restaurant. Would I go back? Absolutely! Want to try many other items on the menu like the lemon pepper calamari, shishito peppers, and the smoked sausage.

Great vibes and good food. This place is so busy, we had a reservation and it took us a little to…read morebe seated. So I would recommend coming on a night you're comfortable just going with the flow. Otherwise our waitress was great and the food was good! Their outdoor patio is beautiful and we had a great view of the sunset! Definitely would come back for drinks and apps with friends to sit outside by the fire pits!

I have known about the Big Bad Breakfast franchise for a while but did not have the chance to try…read moreit until a recent visit to see family in TN. My husband and I went on a weekday morning to the Franklin location, and it was busy but not overly crowded. The restaurant's interior was bright and clean, but we decided to enjoy the patio, which was comfortable even in the late summer heat due to industrial-sized fans. My husband ordered a standard breakfast plate with a pancake, and I got an order of biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs on the side. The food did not disappoint. It's hard for most places to get sausage gravy right, and BBB hit the mark. The service staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Prices were also very reasonable, despite almost everything being more expensive these days. Bottom line. we would definitely eat breakfast here again -- maybe even twice on the same trip!

After reading many good reviews about the BBB ( Big Bad Breakfast ) we were expecting a great meal…read more As we entered we noticed it's a large restaurant so we had no problem finding a table despite the parking lot being full. We ordered the Ham & Cheese Omelette's w Hash Cakes. Both items to both of us were what we would consider less than average- average at best so that was disappointing. The presentation of the food was subpar as well. On the bright side our server, Lauren, really did a nice job & the atmosphere was comfortable but I believe we will skip this place next time we find ourselves in Beautiful Franklin Tn.

We had such a wonderful experience at The Rutledge in Franklin! We started with the prime rib…read morerolls, which were absolutely delicious. For dinner, we had the special Cobb salad and the Tuscan shrimp pasta -- both were fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect for a date night, but what really made the evening special was our server, Cameron. He was incredibly personable, very knowledgeable about the menu, and offered some great recommendations. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. And definitely save room for dessert! The apple cobbler was amazing -- honestly, it's worth going back for all by itself. Everything from the food to the atmosphere to the service was wonderful. Highly recommend The Rutledge for a great night out!

Woof... so after talking this place up to my coworkers we go and it was a totally different…read moreexperience. I was talking up this drink I originally had there, but also had at the sister location in DT Nashville that they called to get the recipe and surprised me at the table with after raving about it (the international) the waitress proceeded to argue that I had the name wrong it was a pretty gross experience. Do not look at any online menus wait until you get to the restaurant. We had a colleague who is celiac we asked about a separate menu (you would have thought I asked if they did brain surgery) because there are no markers on the regular menu, the waitress proceeds to lecture the person on what they should order at restaurants... She was a different individual interacting with the mens end of the table than she was with the lady's side. We opted to share several things. Thankfully the food is still on point. And it is still beautiful. The drinks we ordered were tasty. That is why this review got a 3 and not a 2.

Their portions were SUPER generous and I had enough for a lot of leftovers. We got the pasta and chips and queso. Would definitely come back when looking for a filling, quality meal at a great price.

The service is amazing. My kiddo has a scoville aversion. They offered to make dry rub wings for…read moreher. They don't have to and what got served was perfection. The wings were juicy and perfectly seasoned. The second accommodation was the baked potato. They were able to provide a side of shredded cheese accompaniment upon request. Third accommodation was the virgin pina colada. I thoroughly enjoyed my half salad, which was plenty especially when paired with the wings app. The best part of salad were the freshness and quality of all the ingredients. Even with the way it was dressed and presented, the care and attention to detail was obvious. There's also the lobster bisque and Pavlova dessert. Loved it and it was picky-kiddo approved, especially that Pavlova which was just divine! We were very lucky to have dined with a performer player her guitar. She had a beautiful voice. We were also very lucky with our waitress. She boxes all our leftovers for us. We certainly recommend dining here. Everyone was warm and welcoming, including other guests.

Choose this place! 10/10 would highly recommend again and again…read more We live in St. Louis and flew in to try some unique cuisine from the St. Louis scene. Initially, it reminded us of First Watch (a compliment) but upon further review there were items we hadn't ever considered before. Let's start with the Bacon Lover's BLT&A The perfect amount of crunch. The bacon was juicy NOT WET but the right amount of fat. Perfect amount of avocado paired with the garlic aioli. It could use a touch more lettuce but that still doesn't not take away from this beautifully crafted sandwich. Always right to bet on it. Now the pancakes. The Bourbon St. Pancakes were a hit all on their own. I pieced together three à la carte items to marry a delightful blend of FLAVOR and joy. The loaded grits explode with flavor in each bite. Their grits are smooth and creamy so if you don't like textured grits, you may actually give these a try. The green onion steals the show every time. I've never heard of sage and brown sugar sausage -- the earthy flavors were a hit! We were so pleased with our meals and we will be returning before we head back home with handmade mug in tow -- they're for sale!

Stopped in for breakfast and glad we did! Caught it on a Saturday am and didn't wait long. Service…read morewas great. Our kiddo had the kid's pancakes, egg and bacon and it was a good size portion. His pancakes were fluffy and kid approved! We split the lemon blueberry goat cheese pancakes which sounded odd BUT were absolutely delicious! Their pancake itself was outstanding. Came with eggs and bacon which were delicious. Also ordered half order of beignets which went really well with their iced coffee. If you want plain black iced coffee, make sure you mention that or else you get milk in it. Good service and great food!

Definitely owe a friend of mine for recommending this as a place to visit while I was in Brentwood…read more Lovely historic mansion with a classic but not stuffy feel (I wouldn't pop in wearing a t shirt, but you don't need a suit or anything!), top-notch food (don't see she crab in this part of the country very often, and theirs is excellent), great cocktails and wine (half price wine, every day), and excellent service. Very much worth a visit, and I'll assuredly be back!

Ruby Sunshine ended up being one of those brunch spots that was worth planning around…read more We visited while spending the day on Franklin's square, and the wait list was about an hour. Normally that's enough to make me reconsider brunch, but after eating here, I'd happily do it again. We were seated outside on an incredibly hot day, and our server--lovingly known as "Slacker"--absolutely earned a shoutout. He somehow managed to keep our table of indecisive food-sharers organized, never let our water glasses get empty, and made the whole experience feel relaxed instead of rushed. The only disappointment? They had already run out of gravy, which meant no biscuits and gravy for us. (My heart still hasn't fully recovered.) Instead, we leaned into sharing everything else. The fried green tomatoes absolutely lived up to the hype, the OG Bennie was fantastic, the avocado toast was fresh and flavorful, and because apparently self-control wasn't invited to brunch, we finished with the white chocolate bread pudding pancakes for "dessert." No regrets. Great food, fantastic service, and a perfect stop while exploring downtown Franklin. Just do yourself one favor... Get there early if biscuits and gravy are calling your name.

There are lots of places here for breakfast and all good and all menus a little different from each other. Ruby Sunshine is located in the roundabout on Main Street in an elegant building with an upscale feel. Picking up on the Nashville Country vibe, you'll find a wall of red Cowboy boots; but all are right-footed! The service is friendly and attentive, your coffee won't go cold, and you won't go thirsty either. We had the Southern breakfast and the friend green tomatoes Betty (benedict) What is interesting about this place is, although a chain, everything is home cooked and tastes like it too--biscuits, grits, gravies, sauces! Enjoy!
