Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Franklin – 2024

The Shed is just a cool place to be. The food is incredible and actually really creative. They have some favorites (see: chicken and waffles) I go back to a lot but I've had some really good specials. I haven't had a meal I didn't like there. They've got great drinks and the atmosphere is really energetic compared to a lot of places around here. This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.

The SHED is my go-to for great food and cocktails that I cannot usually find in bars outside of Boston. Their menu is amazing and they have a ton of Gluten-Free options for apps, mains and desserts which is unusual and greatly appreciated. The staff is lovely, hard working and extremely kind to all patrons (even when they are very busy). They go above and beyond to make your experience truly wonderful. They have outdoor seating and a special speakeasy night every Wednesday where they have unique cocktails you won't find anywhere else. I highly recommend this restaurant for food, drinks and a great place to gather with friends.

We had the outdoor patio room reserved for a family / friends function. The outdoor area was enclosed and warm. The environment was fun and exciting! The appetizers were amazing! And don't get me started on the servers!!! A great great place to dine and enjoy

First time and won’t be my last. Excellent food and service. We met the wonder who was so friendly. Amazing and tasty food. We had the Chef veggie platter for an appetizer and three vegetarian dishes; Palak Paneer, Gobhi Kaju Masala, Dal Makhani and garlic Naan. Very generous servings (leftovers!!). Gracious staff who brought us a dessert for my friends birthday on the house

The food here is always consistently great! I usually get takeout. Tonight, my daughter and I decided to dine in. The restaurant is a very clean, modern, casual restaurant. They do have a luncheon buffet. We started with a lychee drink that was delicious! They brought us chips with three different sauces. One was slightly sweet, one tasted like it had a mint base, and the third was a chutney with onions and a fiery kick. My daughter had the tomato soup to start, and I had the mulligatawny soup. Both were really good. For entrées we had the butter paneer and lamb chops with basmati rice and garlic Naan. Everything was perfect! For dessert, we each had mango kheer. Absolutely delicious! Our waitress was awesome! She was very personable and helpful with the menu. The owner also checked on us. If you like Indian food, check this place out!!

This is one of my new favorite places to eat, I haven't gotten a single thing from them yet that wasn't delicious. The people there are all wonderful. The only thing I can nit pick about is how the dining room feels a little empty in the sense it is under- decorated, and the fact that their spiciest dishes don't even make me sniffle a little tiny bit. I'm definitely a place worthy to take an amazing partner out to dinner.

I have been to this location a few times now and they have never disappointed me. It is clean, the staff are friendly and the food is really good. I particularly like that there is numerous seafood items with choices that aren't all fried. Tonight my daughter and I decided to dine in, it had been awhile and she was craving a meatball. We both like the style of bread. I prefer warm roles, but this is somewhat traditional and the butter is soft. She got the kids spaghetti and meatball. This is a generous sized dish. I got the broiled haddock with baked stuffed shrimp. The fish was cooked perfectly and had a nice buttery flavor. The shrimp were delicious, the stuffing was great and they weren't dry. My sides were squash and mashed potatoes, also delicious! My daughter had a pudding style dessert and the overall experience was great!

Best calamari I have ever had! Very tender and nice and spicy! My main course was the shrimp scampi. The shrimp were big and tender. I was happy to see the shrimp came cleaned! The sauce was nice and garlicky and not too heavy on the wine sauce. My wife enjoyed her meatball ricotta pizza, she subbed out the red sauce for garlic oil. The only two negative things I have to say is the bread is not fresh like most restaurants, it is sliced regular store bought. Also the mozzarella sticks were good flavor wise but they were obviously frozen because the cheese did not pull apart. It was more like a breaded string cheese stick. Mary was a great waitress! Overall, I enjoyed my experience.

We've been wanting to try this place for a while but as soon as the pasta dishes came out I saw that they were not fresh. They honestly looked like microwaved food. I did not bother taking leftovers or ordering dessert. Thank goodness I didn't since I got sick not even an hour after eating the food. I hope others have a better experience than we did.

Decent pub downtown Franklin but we didn’t love our experience. We ordered a kids cheese pizza for our daughter but got a steak and cheese flat bread. I ordered Ruben with sweet potato fries but got normal fries, SP fries came eventually. My wife’s Buffalo chicken pizza was just full size chicken nuggets on a pizza covered in Buffalo sauce. Again not terrible but we probably won’t be back. Waitress was very nice.

Teddys Burger… I didn’t realize I ordered something with corn beef on it… it should be illegal how delicious this burger was. Teddys never disappoints!!

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, and great, friendly staff. the steak tips with bourbon sauce is delicious and the fries are the best i have ever had. beer and liquor selection is also very good.

Visited this place for the first time three weeks ago I’ve been there two other times. This is a great spot. Plenty of parking. The dining room is pretty big. Only been there for lunch, but it was quiet. I can imagine it gets crazy in the evening. Got a tuna wrap on one occasion then an Italian sub another occasion the food was fresh delicious price was a little up there, but to be expected in that area. The only reason why I’m giving this a four and not a five. when I ordered, I asked them to heat up the wrap they did not do that or cut it in half so following instructions make sure you’re very clear of what you want. The staff about is friendly as a regular pizza House nothing out of the ordinary or extraordinary but the food was amazing. This will be one of my goals. I recommend 100%

Hate leaving 5 stars but this place is great the pizza is amazing the staff is wonderful wish I could say more but definitely try the Benjamin Franklin,meat lovers,pats ways and the buffalo pizza the wings were great too just wish there was more flavors even if they offered a dry rub

Exquisite brick oven pizza. It is worth it to try it. Most people get take out food, the restaurant looks empty for that reason.

Decent Italian place. The service was ok and the atmosphere is comfortable. I had lasagna and a meatball and it was good but warm, not hot. Sauce was good and the prices are affordable.

Staff was super friendly. Food came out quickly. Very large servings.

Rome is a family-driven gem in Franklin, where the Colace Brothers carry forward the legacy of genuine Italian cuisine. Freshness is their forte—soups, sauces, and pizzas are made daily without preservatives or additives, ensuring flavors that speak for themselves. Their menu boasts classic Italian favorites, each dish a testament to tradition and quality ingredients. While the ambiance is unassuming, the focus on authentic flavors and warm hospitality by the Colace Brothers shines through. Rome offers a taste of true Italian cooking without breaking the bank. It's a spot where authenticity meets affordability, inviting patrons to relish the essence of homemade Italian fare.

Great first impression from the hostess that seated us to the excellent service we got from our waiter. Restaurant was clean. Bar is divided off so it's more kid friendly. They do have booths that are somewhat private, they're pretty cool if you want a romantic meal or even a business meal. My daughter got the kids fish and chips. I got the big kids fish and chips. We both enjoyed our meals. Fish was cooked right with a nice batter. The fries weren't soggy and the coleslaw wasn't drenched in dressing. We had some kind of chocolate deliciousness for dessert! I'd definitely go back!

My wife and I stopped by the Raillery in Franklin, MA for lunch. We both loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Service was phenomenal, they removed used plates at the edge of the table quickly. The food was pretty good- but we ended up only doing appetizers instead of getting meals. One thing I really liked was the cauliflower poppers; great flavor and a little spicy kick at the end. The steak and cheese tacos were also awesome. The only thing I had that wasn’t that great was the prosciutto wrapped scallops- the prosciutto was sliced a bit thick and it overpowered the flavor of the scallops. Despite this minor thing, I would definitely like to return and do dinner here! Great pub.

We had an extremely rude waitress (Gabriella) 2 Sundays ago that really seamed like we were bothering her having to flag her down because she never checked in once. Bringing the wrong drinks 3 times while arguing with us slapping down the check and turning her back walking away. Nowhere near the service we had on a Thursday evening a week before, we like the place a lot but she needs to go, watched her be rude to the table next to us as well, this was the first time in my life I really had a hard time leaving a tip but still did.

Food always tastes fresh. The restaurant always looks clean. Last but not least the staff are very friendly and helpful. They have a few suggested poke bowls or you can build your own. They have a ton of choices. White or brown rice. Pick a protein or multiple proteins, choices are chicken, shrimp, salmon, tofu and they now have lobster. You then get a ton of mix in choices from sweet to savory to salty to crunchy. It's like playing Lego's except it's a food bowl, and you get to eat it when you're done. You probably also won't step on it at 3 am and scream and the have to take the dogs out. I digress.. Not only do they have this delicious food, they also have drinks like Boba and a non-dairy treat that tastes just like Dole Whip, but it's not Dole Whip. It's just a non dairy treat that is absolutely delicious! I had banana non-dairy treat mixed with strawberry non-dairy treat and it was amazing! This is a great place! And the food is better than traditional fast food. Both in taste and in nutrition. The type of place you're happy when getting takeout, but you want to tip anyway. Thank you Mr Pokemoto employee that talked me into the non-dairy dessert! Well played..

Friendly service, affordable and fresh food! Pleasant surprise.

The food is always pretty good - I'd rather eat here than elsewhere. Sometimes the servers get confused about what goes into a standard menu option.

The food was okay. The steak was definitely a bit well done (not medium well). The service was quite slow at the bar - 2 hours for dinner. The atmosphere was good except for the phone which was ringing constantly. I'd go again.

This is about my 3 time in spaced out in between a few years. I came yesterday on a sister’s date and treated my little sister to lunch, and an early Mothers Day Present!WOW!! First from hostess to Our server, Cody! Such a great and rewarding experience to be so thoughtful, and kind when I’m not too familiar with the restaurant being that I don’t frequent it. My sister and I had such a delightful Time & Experience thank you Cody I really appreciate your excellent service and candid spirit. You’re truly an asset to Longhorn Steak House and my sister and I loved every single moment there. I’d like to add that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to drink from the bar alcohol wise, but I had asked Cody and he went out of his way to go to the bartender and have him whip me a fruit cocktail of some kind and it was REALLY TASTY!!!!

Great experience! Food was delicious! Service was nice and friendly

La Cantina Winery is my favorite Franklin spot!! Not only is their wine excellent their food is phenomenal!! The Fig pizza is my favorite on their food menu! I will only eat pizza from La Cantina from now on! It’s perfection!! Their fall sangria is my favorite fall time beverage! The staff is friendly and inviting from for moment you walk in their doors! If you haven’t checked them out yet it’s a must do!! Great work La Cantina!!

My wife and I used to go here before they opened their new place and loved it . We went today 12/8/24 we ordered 2 appetizers , 2 pizzas and 2 flights of wine . We got the appetizers where were good but we were told that the pizza oven was down and was being repaired. So we ordered a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board instead of the pizzas. We got the charcuterie board and 5 minutes later we got the pizzas(the bottom were not cooked all the way ) very disappointed the place was way over priced . Our bill was over $170.00 . This have left a bad taste in our mouth. We did love your wines but you got to big for yourselves. It took us over 2 hours and it was not busy. We will never be back

We hosted a surprise party at La Cantina for my parents in the event room and it was perfect! It was a beautiful space, the owners and staff were so helpful and friendly, the food was delicious, and amazing wine as usual! Highly recommend hosting an event here!

It was good. Waitress never came back after dropping food until time to pay, so our waters were out. Food was good but not the best around. Pancakes were a bit rubbery and tough to cut and sausages looked like they've been through it. Good but overpriced for what it is. Almost $40 for two people to eat breakfast($3.30/ pancake is steep)

Redwing clams, clamstrips, shrimp, and fries are back! True to the original flavor and no opening day hiccups or issues. We can't wait to go back and are so happy for the owners and staff! We'll done!

I love this place. My meal was delicious today! The staff is so welcoming and personable. The food comes out quickly, even with a wait. There are a lot of options on the menu, and they serve breakfast all day! I was nervous the menu would change when I heard it was under new ownership, but the menu is the same and there seems to be some updates to the restaurant itself coming soon! Lisa is amazing and really makes the dining experience better. Oh, and They serve various flavors of mimosas, bloody Mary’s and screwballs! And they have custom catering (pick up and delivery)! I Highly recommend if you haven’t gone!!

Wicked good fresh sushi... creative and different types of rolls.... presentation is great. Order the romantic date roll with tons of fresh Basil which is such a good combo of flavors. Also love the sweetheart roll and salmon lovers platter. Pretty atmosphere and great service.

The chef used teriyaki sauce on everything and it was pretty overpowering. The bathroom was not filthy It smelled terrible. When you first walked in the resturant it also smelled like stagnant water.

Awesome food combined with funny intertainment by the grill master. I like the bubble wall and the waterfall at the entrence.

A very close group of friends dropped in after a wake to tell stories of another old neighborhood friend. It was a perfect way to end the night with lots of laughs and friends. We picked the 99 since we knew what to expect as far as food. The service was great and friendly; when our party grew, they moved us to a larger table, and we continued. The great service continued with a new server. It was a great get-together with many friends that hadn't been together in a few years. Just what we needed!

We arrived at this location on 7/1/24~ We were traveling through the area. The worst story that I could possibly tell. We were never told that they had 1 cook and the Manager was assisting the kitchen. We ordered. An hour later no food no waitress checking in. The food finally was brought out by another person. Not our waitress! The order is wrong. The poor person who delivers the food says can remake your dish with the same chicken in this wrap? Obviously not!!! I can’t have battered chicken and this wrap is battered. Please get us the bill and a take out box. The waitress finally appears. What seems to be the problem? Omg!!! You kidding me!!! We waited over an hour for a simple order and the order is wrong. How can I right it? Take it off the bill and we are leaving!!! You don’t want us to make you something else? Are you kidding me? It’s now 7:20pm. I will never visit this location again! Tell your customers you are experiencing a problem in the kitchen. Let them be the decider if they stay or find alternatives.

Had a burger that was great. Had buffilo mac n cheese and was great. Had a 24$ steak that was horrible. Asked for rare and got a med well freezer burned pice of meat. Mash potato was dryed out and corn was well done. No seasoning on anything. It was a shame since the other food was decent and the service was great.

3 Restaurant is my new favorite brunch spot. Kerry-Lynn and her trainee did a fabulous job waiting on us this past Sunday. The attention to detail and attentiveness didn't go unnoticed. I was a huge fan of the Pickle Bloody Mary. Everything from the Buffalo Cauliflower to the two brunch entrees we're delicious and seasoned to perfection. I'm glad we took the half-hour jaunt to try this place out. Look forward to visiting again for brunch and try dinner!

was a beautiful day outside and their outside area was jamming. A bar, bar seats, hightop tables and dining tables. The area looked lovely. Inside was nice. A nice bar area, dining room chic and lots of seating. Atmosphere seemed upbeat. They have brunch on Sundays. Monday is 1/2 priced app's and a burger and kids eat free on Sundays. Thur menus are solid great choices. We started with stuffed mushrooms and their pulled chicken and corn nachos. We were blown away! We had Short Ribs, a Filet and their Scallops and Risotto. Our meals were absolutely delicious. Presentation was wonderful. Their kitchen is a scratch kitchen so everything is made to order and homemade. The service was okay,could’ve been better Definitely recommend checking out.

Gluten friendly (however)!!!!! I ordered the chicken avocado wrap and everything looked great! It came with an allergy indicator and the bun was clearly different from normal so I felt safe eating it, however the chicken in it was charred to absolute oblivion and it ruined the sandwich. I thought I was being a p*ssy with the amount of char on it so I thugged through it but then my boyfriend tried and said “Jesus babe how did you eat so much of this” and I realized it was simply bad. The last few bites I just took out the chicken and ate the contents without it and it tasted a million times better. Wish I thought of taking it out sooner because I suffered through it for no reason. But hey! Gluten safe I guess! My stomach doesn’t hurt from the bread just the obscene amount of char on it. Personal opinion but not worth the amount you’re spending AT ALL. Aside from the burnt chicken, my boyfriend got the braised short rib and it was ok, but fully lacking in any seasoning whatsoever, it was literally cooked meat, that’s it. Cooked well, but just cooked meat, very bland, and again NOT WORTH THE PRICE. Not great, choose accordingly!!!

Excellent cocktails and extraordinary food! The classic chicken & waffles is an excellent presentation of a southern favorite. If you want to up that, order the mac-n-cheese waffles with asheville hot fried chicken!! WOW! Game changer. If you are looking for something else, try the cast iron pork! Atmosphere is relaxed and cozy and staff is friendly and helpful.

A very solid breakfast/brunch spot. Chicken was all fried very well, crispy, very close to perfect. Biscuits were great. I would have preferred the gravy a little more spicy but it was all still good. Only could have used more refills of coffee. Would visit again!

The grits are sooooo bad! I’m a Georgia girl- I’ve NEVER before had a bowl of grits I just couldn’t eat. One bite literally made me feel nauseous. We waited quite a while for our food, never received our entire order and when we did receive some food no one bothered to give us utensils. We sat in the bar section but not at the bar so the waiter, although he was very kind, was focused on the bar and not at all on us. The food just isn’t worth the nuisance. I do NOT recommend.

Perfect for group brunches! Because it’s not the easiest to access, so you’ll have the place to yourselves. The service was attentive and the food delicious. Seriously, groups that want a leisurely brunch, this is the place. It’s beautiful inside, and the food is delicious.

I came here for a birthday dinner and it had to be one of the best meals I ever had. The steak rolls are delicious as an appetizer and their lobster mac is a must try. Absolutely delicious. It’s a little pricey but that’s too expected. It is a really good place for a special occasion. I also had their rotisserie chicken and sweet potatoes and I ate every last bite. Our server was very kind and the ambience was impeccable. Very clean restaurant. I will be back.

The Rutledge is a great spot if you’re in Franklin. The food was great and the atmosphere was clean and modern. The steak was cooked perfectly and the service was great.

High-end restaurant, specializing in steak. Very good food. There was a basket of small rolls and they were delicious. As a group we had Deviled Eggs, Steak Rolls, Jumbo Shrimp, Spinach and Artichoke Dip for appetizers. I tried the coffee steak and it was awesome. Also, the Petite Filet was delicious along with the whipped potatoes. We split a large dessert if chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Sweet tea was awesome!

This is one of our favorite steak houses! We went for our 19th wedding anniversary and everything was amazing! We ordered rib eyes, asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes with key lime pie for desert. And our drinks were perfect. You must go here for your next special event.

Visited this location with family in town. First, plenty of parking and we had a reservation but it's not required. It was pretty busy at 7:30 on a Friday. After ordering wine and margaritas, we were served biscuits that tasted like donuts served with a honey butter - amazing and gone in a flash! For our food, the portions were large including the side salads. The pork chop, steak salad, 7 oz petite filet and Tuscan chicken were all very good and we would order it all again. Our server, Brady, was nice and knew the menu. We did wait a bit between the salad and entrees but we still had a great time catching up while we waited. Overall, it was a great dinner and I'd visit again.

Neat place, cool old steak house vibe. Super busy for dinner. Bartenders were great, great drinks. Service was a bit slow when we got to our table. Overall, the food was good! Tried a few items. I do feel there's better steak places around Nashville, but this was good.

AMAZING restaurant. This is quite possibly the best prime rib I have ever eaten, but let me start at the beginning. Although they have a great salad bar, I chose to try their wedge salad.....I was definitely not disappointed. The dressing was thick and creamy, there was tons of fresh bacon and black olives...It was perfect! The prime rib was sensational as well. Cooked perfectly with plenty of au jus and a snappy horseradish sauce that paired with it perfectly. For dessert, I had a creme brulee, and it was just right. Rich and creamy, with fresh berries on top, and a hard-crack sugar shell on top....Just the way it is supposed to be! Our server, Will, did a spectacular job of taking care of us, and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. We will definitely go back the next time we are in Franklin. This place is a 10 out of 10!

Sperry swas a great experience. Quick Summary The food was very good, prices are decent. The waiter was very personable. The manager stopped by at the end of our meal. All and all 5 stars... Specificly Food Experience Shrimp cocktail for appetizer, huge shrimp, and great cocktail sauce with horseradish mix. My wife had grilled lobster very well made. I had the King cut prime rib, wow... seriously, it's a big piece of meat. They use their own seasoning for the dry rub, very tasty. Restaurant still has the old-school salad bar, which was super fresh. Excellent addition to keep. Grilled asparagus was "ok", tasty just seemed rushed to the table. Desert... eh... Should have tried the banana fosters. We asked for a desert to go, and we got the brownie. We were VERY specific we no nuts, luckily no issues from their oversight. Restaurant Experience We made reservations, but we were never called. We showed early, so I don't know what happened there. I finally went to the front again and they sat us. Our food was delivered to the wrong table . I was told the store was training new peeps. Nothing was done, and really, no one was apologetic. This didn't really hurt the experience, though. I highly recommend you try this restaurant. You will be pleasantly surprised this gem in the middle of nowhere.

Two story rustic Yosemite themed restaurant in mid block old Franklin under Jason McConnell doesn’t live up to its potential for fine dining. The Gnocchi taste tester had pieces cooked too long, but was savory. We really enjoyed the Smoke Salmon Tabbouleh and the Grilled Flatbread, both with hints of fruit, mix of textures and flavors. The Hamachi Crudo was too fishy, even for Hamachi. The Sancerre from a fair wine list was not served sufficiently chilled. The waitstaff hustled to keep up with service changes.

Frequently enjoy this amazing restaurant in Franklin. The hero of the meal was the risotto which is one of those parts of the dish that are hard to nail. Book this unique restaurant in heart of downtown you won’t be disappointed.

This place is truly classy. Some high end restaurants just have expensive food and white table cloths. This place actually delivers with creative food, a fantastic service staff, and a lovely decor. Been there 4 times now and they do not disappoint. Highly recommend.

Fantastic little gem in Franklin, just a short drive outside of downtown Nashville. Came here for a hearty American breakfast and it surely didn’t disappoint. Lovely family-style service and the food is as rich as flavoursome. Definitely work a little trip to Franklin. - Value for money? Yes - Worth a detour? Yes - Best for (occasion)? American-style breakfast - Would I go back? Yes

After many suggestions I stopped in for dinner. This was a quaint restaurant with an old country store vibe. The night we arrived the had live music on the stage. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and even found room for their fried brownies. It was good but not $12 good. Just my opinion. I think you would enjoy stopping in and trying g this place out for yourself.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and music but do have some comments. Our server was extremely slow and the restaurant was not busy. The French fries were wimpy and not hot. The BLT was nothing to rave about, I was disappointed. Normal white bread with bacon pieces. The brisket cheesesteak was missing peppers, onions and not enough cheese sauce. The deep fried brownie sundae was good! Enough for us to share. We have been here before, so we must have not ordered good entrees. We wanted a lighter dinner, instead of a large course meal.
