Barbara’s Homecookin’ is located just off Hillsboro Road on Old Hillsboro Road in the Grassland area of Franklin.

It is rare to find Mexican food that I do not like, but I think there is a big difference between good Mexican food and great Mexican food. The main difference for me is the amount of flavors and the way the spices are used — that the flavors don’t all end up tasting the same. I recently went to Pueblo Real in Franklin. Here’s my review.

Here’s my detailed review of the Franklin Mercantile Deli.

If I were to rate the Wild Ginger restaurant in Cool Springs near Franklin, TN… on a scale of 1-5, I’d give it a 4.5. The atmosphere inside is both romantic — for a special date; yet sophisticated — for a business dinner. The food was to DIE for. I’ll definitely be back!
