We arrived on a quiet fall day, out of season and couldn't promise the same experience for others. There is a gathering area to enjoy music performances in the summer months that wasn't open. There wasn't any food sold and I'm unaware if guests can bring any snacks to the events.

The last night there I decided to read through it, thinking to myself that we needed to make another trip through Tennessee to hit all of these cool places. Some we have already been to, but wouldn't mind going again. My husband being a HUGE Johnny Cash fan, I suggested we make a detour on our way home, just to fit Storytellers Hideaway Farm in. We were NOT disappointed. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the house and the barn with all sorts of memorabilia. The highlight of the experience was the music and camaraderie with Johnny Cash's nephew, Mark Alan Cash. We could sit there and listen to him all day. We loved listening to the stories from his personal experiences with his uncle. If we ever get the chance to come back through here, we definitely will.

My lady being from the New Orleans area was thoroughly impressed. Felt like home said she.

Really can't say enough good about the place. Especially when getting the bill for the meal served on a hymnal! There's also this magnificent stained glass window imported from Italy depicting the conversion of ST. Paul. in the banquet area. We will definitely be making this place a regular stop!

Music City Roots is a hidden gem of the Middle Tennessee music scene. The live radio and music show…read moreis held in Liberty Hall, the largest venue inside of the Factory in Franklin. Seats are set up in rows by the stage theater-style and then they have food from Puckett's Grocery available for sale on a side area of the hall with tables and seating. There is also a cash bar which you can purchase beer, wine or mixed drinks. Upon arrival, they have a table setup to get you checked in if you have reserved tickets ($15) or if you are buying door tickets ($10). Considering that there are several artists for each show this is an amazing deal. We had reserved tickets which was nice to not have to worry about seating as our names were already on our seats. The show has co-hosts who will begin the show with a bit of banter and dialogue. In between acts they will interview the artists and allow them to answer several questions. The artists were selling some of their merchandise in the back of the hall as well so you had time to check that out. When we came the artists included Sunny Sweeney, the Rev. Peyton's Band and the Blackfoot Gypsies. If even one of these artists did a solo show they could have easily charged that amount alone. I was amazed that I was able to see Sunny here as she has done shows at the Grand Ole Opry before. She was absolutely incredible! This event is well-organized and I was so surprised at the quality of artists who participate in this radio show. It's a unique and fun experience that anyone would enjoy.

What a great place to check out a show! Music City Roots is an old throw back radio broadcast with…read more4 or 5 acts each playing about 30 minutes or so with interviews during set changes. We have seen great popular entertainers new and old. Just check out their webpage to see who all as been there and you will be amazed! Another great part of Music City Roots is seeing bands that you have never heard of before and becoming fans of them! Tickets are only $10 for general admission and 15 for reserved. But there is not a bad seat in the house. They only have one bar, I think, so the line can get kinda long. But no worries. They also have local restaurant that caters the event, but we have never ate there. This season it is Pucketts. I have heard great things about their food.

If you're looking for a great place to get away from the city and enjoy some amazing live music,…read morethis spot in Liepers Fork is absolutely worth the trip! We've been here several times, and the one thing that never changes is how incredible the music is. Every visit has had a great lineup and a fun, energetic atmosphere that makes it easy to forget you're just a short drive from Franklin. Make sure you get a reservation! This place sells out almost every night, and for good reason. If you don't plan ahead, you might miss out. Once we were seated, I started with a Margarita, not bad at all, but honestly, this place is really about the music, not the drinks or food. For an appetizer, I went with a couple orders of Pork Rinds. If you know me, you know I always look for hidden menu gems, so I asked for some pimento cheese on the side, and trust me, this is a must! I've been asking them to officially put it on the menu for years. Maybe one day! The pork rinds come out sizzling hot, and with that pimento cheese, they're absolutely next level. For my entrée, I had the Saturday Special: Beef Brisket, Baked Beans, and Mashed Potatoes. It was solid comfort food and hit the spot. Others at the table went with the Famous Big Bologna Sandwich, which is honestly a memory in itself, definitely one of those signature items you have to try at least once. But let me be clear: you are here for the music, not the food! And the music alone makes the whole experience worth it every time. Tip: Get there well before the show starts so you have time to eat and settle in before the music begins. Once the band starts, you won't want to miss a second of it. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better music, this place is a true hidden gem just outside the city.

(3.5/5 stars) I've…read morebeen to Fox & Lock many times over the years, enough to try nearly everything on the menu. It's a solid, casual meat-and-three that's become a gathering place for both locals and visitors. The friendly staff and frequent live music create a lively atmosphere, and if you're already coming to Leipers Fork for a show, it's a great place to grab a meal beforehand. The menu offers classic Southern comfort food with rotating daily specials. The pulled pork is one of the more consistent meats, although I've had it arrive perfectly tender on some visits and a bit dry on others. The second meat changes throughout the week, which keeps things interesting for repeat customers. I've worked my way through all of the sides, and the fried okra is easily my favorite. It's consistently served hot and crispy, though I think a signature seasoning blend would make it even better. The macaroni and cheese is another standout, although I've occasionally received it lukewarm. The sweet potato fries are also enjoyable but could use a little more crispness, and I think they'd really shine with a house-made dipping sauce like a hot honey mustard. The green beans appear to be canned, which doesn't personally bother me, but they leave an unusual aftertaste that keeps me from ordering them often. The collard greens have good flavor but tend to include more stems than I'd prefer. The baked beans lean savory rather than sweet, which may appeal to some diners, though I usually prefer sweeter baked beans with barbecue. The mashed potatoes are simple and would benefit from the option of either cream gravy or brown gravy. One item that always kept me coming back was the chicken fingers. For a long time, they were some of my favorites in the area--crispy, flavorful, and good enough that I've driven out from Nashville just to order them. Recently, however, the breading seems to have changed, and they haven't quite been the same. The onion rings are another reliable choice, arriving consistently crispy, though I think they'd be even better paired with a signature dipping sauce or seasoning. Overall, I think the atmosphere is what makes Fox & Lock special. The staff is consistently welcoming, the live music is excellent, and it's an important part of the Leipers Fork community. If you're visiting the area for the music or exploring the town, it's absolutely worth stopping in for a meal. While I don't think the food alone is worth making a special trip from Nashville, it's enjoyable comfort food in a fun setting and a place I'm sure I'll continue to visit.

The Pond is a self described dive bar located in a strip mall area in Franklin Tennessee…read more I like to patronize places that aren't chains and aren't super popular spots when I travel, as I enjoy being around common folks in areas that I go to. The Pond doesn't disappoint. It is exactly what one would expect when seeking a dive bar atmosphere. A little ratty, a little rowdy and a whole lot of fun. The coup de grace was they had Guinness on tap, which was completely unexpected. We traveled to Franklin looking for an alternative to Broadway in Nashville on our first night in town. It is worth the trip. Franklin is a very old town with great old architecture and buildings over 200 years old that still look stunning. The Pond was the real reason for my drive down although it was our last stop on our tour of Franklin. The staff was friendly, the Hamburger and fries was delicious, and the beer was cold. They have many options to choose from on tap. They have Darts inside and a couch you'd find down in your friends basement that he found on a tree bank trash day, but that simply adds to the dive bar charm. We stayed for one drink and the burger as we were exhausted from a red eye flight the night before. If you're looking for a dive bar that stays open late and apparently gets packed as the night goes on, this is the spot for you. Most places close early in Franklin, so this is apparently the after hours spot that everyone ends up going to when all other options are closed. The Pond reminded me of a few dive bar spots in Vegas, and I have to recommend you pay them a visit, if for no other reason, just to say you've been there.

They will supply a plastic cup, should you need one. However, you cannot bring in your mixers; they are sold by the bar at the cost of a mixed drink. You will not mistake this crowd for a Maker's Mark crowd, believe me. There were a lot of cute farm girls as well as older people. Pool tables and bar on one end of the building and the band playing and tables/chairs in the other end. The service was good. Beer is about half the cost of Nashville, which is good. The Rachel Johnson Band was playing and they were very good! I understand this is their first time here and I was glad to be there to see them. Oh yes, $5 cover because of the band. Pay attention to the tip jug when it goes around. There is a white one and a yellow (yella) one. I put a tip in the yellow one and found out it was for the waitresses. That sucked because I tip when I buy a drink!
