A YoungJuly 22, 2015Don't forget your cash. This little gem is worth the side trip. I had the French Blue Batard, tasted the Guryere Mac&Cheese, & finished off with the Creme Brulé. Superb!Upvote2Downvote
Brandon McMahanMay 23, 2015The best place in franklin to eat. Everything on the menu is excellent, but no matter what you get you need a side of the rosemary-gruyere Mac and cheese, and the seafood bisque is the best thing everUpvoteDownvote- Sarah PeeblesMay 31, 2016Everything is delicious, but my husbands and my favorite dishes are the tornados or the chicken Alfredo linguine. With a chef hailing from the Greenbriar, you can't go wrong.UpvoteDownvote
Bev RogersMarch 8, 2014Wonderful food and nice atmosphere...until you look out at the gas pumps which is kinds odd but ok odd. Bread...cabanera....steak/shrimp...all wonderful and service is attentive but not intrusive.UpvoteDownvote
Summer BozemanJuly 17, 2012Everything is wonderful, but I had a pasta primavera that was absolutely to die for. Staff is really nice too. But don't forget to bring cash or your checkbook!UpvoteDownvote
Jessika MallardiJune 24, 2016One of the best restaurants in town. Entrees, pasta, salads and sandwiches. Cash only!UpvoteDownvote- Bring your sweetie for a romantic dinner.. Start the night with a glass of wine, any one of the entrees, and finish it with a creme brûlée!Upvote3Downvote
- June TassilloSeptember 2, 2010The best place for lunch or dinner but you better get there early to get in, there is always a line. It is in the weirdest location at the Hot Spot Gas Station but once your inside and taste the foodUpvoteDownvote
Robertson AdamsAugust 16, 2013The house special appetizer is 'snails and tails' - escargot with peeled crayfish sauteed in a cream sauce. Have with merlot.UpvoteDownvote

Keith BSeptember 13, 2013I am not sure that there is a bad choice. It is all so good. Definitely take the time and go to this place.UpvoteDownvote
Ernie and Dora HiersAugust 15, 2015Outrageous food! Not what you'd expect squeezed in next to a gas station. ~Ernie & Dora Hiers, Fiction Faith & Foodies Blog
