Top American restaurants in Franklin, United States

I stopped by here on a whim and I am glad that I did. I got the taco mac and cheese.
I didnt eat in I took it to go but I sure enjoyed it when I got home .
I look forward to going here again if I get out early enough

Phenomenal service and food. Very nice place to eat and sit down and to also bring home to muck. 5/5 very scrumptious. Deeeelicious!

Great food and super kind people! We tried a variety of dishes (Naan, samosas, and three different mac and cheese dishes), and everything was excellent. They were tremendously nice and friendly. Highly recommend!

Hi I am reading this five guys
Five guys was a bad work for people to work in my mom is with a manager and his name in Miguel and because of his fault we are no longer with our mom her name i until now we are without our mom

The experience there was amazing. I went there after a school field trip to APEX with my friends, the food there was just as great! Burgers, fries, and drinks were all good.

I came in today 6.2.24 and really enjoyed myself with my boyfriend and brother in law. Place is clean, people were friendly great customer service. I’m a little picky with my cheeseburger and they literally did it as I had requested. Thank you to the wonderful team at this location, but especially to the Manager, Miguel who made sure my food was the way I wanted. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this location!

Stopped in with a family of five. Service was super nice. Food was delicious. The kids are more chicken fingers than I've ever seen in my life. Price for the food was good too. Definitely going back.

Five Guys has been a great overall option for casual dining. The food is delicious for what it is (a step above McDonalds and Wendys). The fries and meat are sourced in the US, and the potatoes have a history posted.

I consider Chipotle, Panera, and D'Angelo's to be competitors. Depending on the mood and budget, all four of these options are far better than "Fast Food." The price point is about 20% higher than fast food, but you have much healthier options.

Love me some 5 Guys! Burgers are always made fresh and endless toppings. You’ll never have a bad meal. Their fries and EPIC. Salted to perfection, fresh, and they always give you more than what you expect.

We get take out here at least once a week. Super friendly, great vegetarian options.

The Thai food here is delicious! We love the yellow curry and the Bay Leaf Thai special (Ga prow) with pork! Great service!

First time visiting Bay Leaf Restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff are so nice and the food is awesome. We will definitely be back.

The people were great I won't go again the food wasn't great. The pad Thai was dry and sticky and didn't have much flavor. And I felt the price was to high. $40 for two dishes.

Denise is the best Waitress. I've ever had in your life and the food is incredible

I haven't been to a 5 guys since they first opened in the area, and I remember them being a lot better when they first started popping up around here. Went again recently and the burger was one of the most bland tasting things I've ever had. They made Burger King look good... The fries were decent but not great. The bun was a soppy mess too. If you're looking for a "quick" tasteless burger this is the place to go. And despite there being only one other customer it took close to 20 minutes for my order to come out.

Sometimes you forget how bad chain restaurant food can be. Ordered steak tip dinner, cooked fine (medium) but it was chew salt licks. Couldn't eat it. Gave it back (one piece eaten, the rest untouched). Still was charged. Waiter was nice.
Hard no from me.

We ordered the blue crab Rangoon, chicken potstickers, shrimp shumai and taro curry puff for appetizers. They were all delicious. We never have had the taro curry puff before and it was our immediate favorite. The shrimp shumai was the most flavorful I’ve had in a long time.
For entrees we ordered Tom Kha Soup, Pad See You and Thai Lo Mein Noodles. Everything was fresh the shrimp were big, the chicken was not dry and it was all very balanced in flavor!
We will definitely be back for more!

I called Five Guys with my order and the manager said I needed to use the app. I made my order via the app and asked for a delivering between 2:00-2:30pm. By 2:45pm that order had not arrived.
When I called the store the manager said that someone else came and picked it up. But I know for a fact no one did and I had the order number which was given to no one else. The manager said that I could have the food if I came to pick it up.
I came to pick it up but I had already been charged a service charge, delivery fee and a tip.
When I complained to the manager, he said that food was delivered to the wrong address which was a change in the original explanation.
Additionally I had ordered 15 cheeseburgers. When I got home not one burger had any cheese on it even though it was what I was charged for.
My order was eventually refunded.

Always eat at the bar lounge where service is great, food is consistently very good, and you always have laughs. You can watch sports or talk to friendly people.

I’m a Door Dash driver the owner made an extra order for a customer. They asked if I would like it…. Best decision I made all month !!!! It was a “small” (enough for 2) CBR (chicken bacon ranch) it was no doubt the best Mac I have ever eaten I will be back soon. Staff is super friendly, store is always spotless clean, huge menu. YES PLEASE !!!!!!

We ordered for the first time last night. The chicken rolls and coconut soup were delicious. Sadly the pad Thai noodles were way over cooked and falling apart. While the flavor was good the over cooked noodles were inedible. We will give them another chance as the other items were great.

Food was great server was a little chatty which some people like but it's not my thing. Food came out quickly however they brought my step son the wrong type of frozen mocktail (strawberry instead of raspberry). My dad is handicapped and the accessibility was very good for him

Went here after a game close by. Went off of the google reviews. What a letdown. The food was very bad. We couldn’t even eat it!!!! The service was good but I don’t know if they didn’t clean the griddle or what but it was BAD. The empty parking lot should have been a clue.

It was my first time visiting. I had the buffalo Mac and the samosa. Their Mac and cheese is top notch and I really liked the buffalo Mac. The buffalo flavor really came out in the chicken. The samosas were good, better than some Indian restaurants I thought but not the best I've ever had. I would get them again though. It really is an interesting menu. Mac and cheese and then some Indian dishes blended in. I highly recommend this place if you are a fan of Mac and cheese!

I sat at the bar as I was by myself. There was 2 bartenders and they were super, super attentive and took care of me. Excellent in their job. Food was really good, I had the chicken fajita bowl - delicious. Atmosphere was ok, nothing special but that is ok. Price decent, great experience.

First time visiting Mac City but definitely wont be the last. Good menu to choose from with many choices. I had the Mac Manzo which was excellent! My wife, who's a vegetarian, had a Mac and cheese with broccoli and plant based chicken in an Alfredo style sauce. She loved hers and I tried it also. Very good! My daughter has Mac Pizza which had a different blend of cheeses than mine with pepperoni on top. Also very good. My friend had the classic mac and he raved about how good that was also. Portion size was good, we ordered smalls. We also had cheesy fries which were very good. Judging from what I experienced, the chef uses many different blends of cheeses depending on what menu item is which makes each one unique. They aren't making a huge pot of generic Mac and cheese and then altering it with a couple ingredients to try and make it different. This place is a must for lovers of the greatest comfort food ever. It can take a little time to get your order so be patient and it's worth the wait. The woman who served us was very nice and accommodating. The restaurant decor isn't anything flashy but it was clean and comfortable.

Highly recommend....again. the fries were not as cheesy this time, but everything was still very tasty. They no longer have the white awning; it is all black and easy to miss. Parking is in a small lot to the left of storefront.. look for the black wall to park.

Randomly came across the Bay Leaf on a Sunday morning about 10:30am. We were looking for a place to grab a quick breakfast on our way to an event up the street. Service was great, food was quite good, and we were in and out in just under 40 minutes. We split a big breakfast plate (plenty of food for 2) and with a juice and coffee the bill came to $20. And it's an easy 15 minute walk from Franklin Town Common!

Absolutely love this five guys or three guys and two girls or two guys and three girls establishment. They’re excellent at what they do and super friendly to you, whether you’re a first time five guys and fries rookie or an old time vet up at the order. Regardless, this is a spot I highly recommend, despite the haters, and plan on returning again for another burger or five

Latest update: I’m angry at myself for going back. Supposed to be an affordable restaurant it’s 30$ for a burger and drink (before tip). Plus they make you tip on a hand held device that THEY are holding, super awkward. Our table had no silverware until we asked long after food came out. My wife’s wine glass was disgusting dirty. Just do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Outside dining that was advertised equaled sitting on hot asphalt eating on a folding beer pong table. The radio was advertising BBQ weekend so I went with the ribs and they had an absurd amount of fat/cartilage. Menu said it came with a roll but I did not receive one. Wife got a bacon burger asked for medium it came with zero pink. We each had two drinks which were fine. We did ask for more popcorn at one point and did not receive it. Just a tough pill to swallow dropping 75$ to eat frozen food in a parking lot on a folding table.

It was my first dining experience since Quarantine. We noticed driving by that they had outdoor seating set up. Plenty of hand sanitizer, spacial seating, disposable menu. I went for the lobster roll and a diet pepsi. It was probably the best fountain pepsi I've ever had. Those lines were flushed clean, the ratio of syrup to carbonation was perfect. The lobster roll was also perfection. It was packed with lobster meat, just the right amount of mayo in a buttered toasted bun. I was not disappointed!

Their country fried chicken and chicken crispers are the best around. Staff is fast and friendly. Their new ribs were just ok and my wife was not a fan of their pot pie. Great desserts and the large cookie for lunch pick up is the best!
