Root and Barrel

Pleasantly surprised to find a new menu today. Hooray! Two new vegan options also added. Vegan options are few in Franklin, so this is wonderful news. Rarely have eaten there but now will be a regular patron. Thanks so much

Visited this restaurant twice while visiting Franklin. First night was OK as we were told our waiter was new and we understood. Food was very bland and it was obvious food was frozen before hand. They definitely seemed stressed and understaffed, and somewhat clueless honestly. Second night was worse. We were a table of six and it took 30 minutes to even get our bottle of wine. Our waitress actually put our drinks down on the table across from up and seemed to forget about them until another ten minutes. After asking for some salt and pepper for our table, she took it from another table that was occupied and was very rude when we said the food had no flavor. The Caeser salad had no dressing, the mussels we're clearly frozen. Everything we ordered was definitely not worth the price. The staff needs to be trained again and the food reworked.

Good local farm to table food, nice ambience, and friendly, helpful service! Especially recommend the pimento cheese appetizer... the short ribs entree is fantastic... and the carrot cake for dessert was delicious, moist, tasty - and the candied carrot chips area a delicious, crunchy touch. The selection of primarily local beers on tap is good too, along with a decent wine list and full bar. Definitely a recommended stop in the area!

Food is excellent! Waitress wasn't knowledgeable about gluten free items, but did go and check with the chef. She was so nice and friendly about it. I would definitely come back here again. Note: the trout dish is not enough by itself. Order another side to go with it. My husband ordered the jambalaya and it was incredible. He loved it. The atmosphere makes me want to redecorate my house to look more like the restaurant. I love the mix of wood and metal. It is very rustic chic with a very warm and cozy feel to it. The wait staff was awesome.

Good Sunday brunch. Fit us in on Easter without a reservation. Cocktails we're a little slow getting to us but will go back.
