Following are the best Franklin area restaurants with the tastiest menus in town — in our opinion — including the Cool Springs area.

Granted, our all-time favorites aren’t going to meet the needs of everyone. These places were chosen primarily because we tend to frequent them regularly as locals, rather than the fact that they’re particularly unique.

Here’s a list of unique restaurants in Nashville …and lots of other places that we personally recommend for first-time visitors to the area!

We moved from Florida to Tennessee in 2001. All signs point to the fact that we will probably retire here — by choice. We L O V E Nashville! Our favorite places to live are just south of the City — we’ve had houses in Brentwood, Franklin, and Spring Hill. And we have properties in Leipers Fork, Cookeville, and Lewisburg. This site is where I share my best tips for moving your family to Nashville and/or visiting Nashville for the first time — with the ultimate goal of helping you find fun things to do in Williamson County and Davidson County. When I’m not out & about enjoying the Nashville area, you’ll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites). To date, I’ve written over 500 articles on this site! Many of them have upwards of 100K shares.
