7 Essential Brunch Spots in Franklin (and 1 in Thompson’s Station)
"The Franklin location of this Asheville-based chain isn’t afraid to tap deep into its Southern roots when it comes to brunch. Exhibit A: an omelet made with none other than fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese, and a healthy dose of potato cracklins. Those with a nagging sweet tooth should note that the sweet potato pancake stack topped with butter and powdered sugar has their back."

"Bruce Drake, who founded the bar and restaurant, went in search of somewhere to get a good burger and listen to live music well into the night, only to find that such a place didn’t exist. Now, you’ll find a lively establishment that offers burgers, sandwiches, salads, and even sushi on the menu. Fruity, seasonal cocktails are also available if beer isn’t your thing."

TGS Parent Picks: Top Kid-Friendly Restaurants in Williamson County
"The kids’ menu at Old Chicago lets kids build their own pizzas, so siblings who love pepperoni or hate olives can design a pie to suit their own preferences. Even kids who aren’t readers yet can use the pictograms to choose their toppings, or even draw an artistic interpretation of their dinner with the crayons handed out to every kid. Parents can split a Chicago-style pizza and enjoy a few craft beverages off the carefully-curated drink list."
