    Mister X.

    So I was in town visiting a childhood friend, and I picked this place for us to have supper at. I had a couple Titos and soda w/extra lime WEDGES!! Oh, and a flute of Josh prosecco. I spend a LOT of time in the south. I eat a LOT of Cajun and soul food, ALL OVER the south, just to set the tone. Ill get the pleasantries out of the way... My bartender and service were OUTSTANDING. All the employees were stellar. I even got a glimpse of the owner. Behind the bar they have a neat elevator that apparently goes to the top floor, where I think the kitchen might be. Wait staff put dishes on it and it goes up, and it comes down with food. Good decorum, and like 5 or 6 bigscreen TVs behind the bar. Let's get to the food, shall we? I was sort of expecting traditional cajun fare, it wasn't until we were there a while, I realized it was more of a nicer type restaurant and had knowing that prior, I might have picked the barbecue joint or something. Don't get me wrong, the food was ok, but for me personally, I see it more as a "take" on Cajun food, then actual Cajun food, just because of my exposure to copious amounts of restaurants. We ordered literally half of the menu. Shrimp Tchoupitulas to start. It was okay. Sort of bland. The boudin balls were actually really good. Super soft in the center. The crawfish etouffee, red beans and rice, and we ordered gumbo, which I didn't take a picture of. They all had to be spiced up with Slap ya Mama seasoning, and they had Crystal hot sauce instead of Red Dot which is fine. The main thing I didn't like about these dishes, is they had a very loose soup like viscosity. Even the red beans and rice, which should have been pasty. We ordered a shrimp po' boy sammich, but we got there later in the evening, so they had already turned the fryer off. For dessert we ordered the Beignets that came with a chocolate dipping sauce. They were super good. I've never had those before anywhere. I was disappointed that they didn't have alligator and other types of Cajun food you typically find, but I don't think that part of Tennessee has the palette for alligator. All in all, it would be good for a date night. The next time I'm back in town I'll probably hit a different establishment, but I am glad I went and tried it. It just wasn't "dirty" enough for me, and didn't have the flavor profiles that I'm used to. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

    Comfortable and welcoming place, quiet and not too busy in the evenings. Much needed in Dickson. Try the beignets!

    We stopped in because they seemed to have a larger variety of vegetarian items than other places in…read morethe area. I didn't realize those options would be frozen & microwaved, at least that's what it tasted like. The broccoli had absolutely zero seasoning & came out mushy & lifeless. The cauliflower "wings" were all broken, tiny pieces that were dark brown & overly fried. I wasn't expecting much, but charging $20 for frozen food dumped into a fryer & also microwaved is a less than desirable to me. My companion's burger came with no condiments & although our sever said the fries were fresh, they were really greasy & soggy. It was all disappointing to say the least. I get why people like this place. If you drink, it looks fun, affordable, & you probably don't care what the food's like. The bar was full for 1 pm on a Wednesday. If that's your gig, I'd say it's the place to go. If you're looking for fresh food, I'd say keep on walking.

The bartender was incredibly friendly and made the experience even better. There are multiple TVs and large screens throughout the bar, making it a perfect place to watch sports. I just wish they had a larger selection of draft beers, including fruit beers or ciders.

    The Pond is a self described dive bar located in a strip mall area in Franklin Tennessee…read more I like to patronize places that aren't chains and aren't super popular spots when I travel, as I enjoy being around common folks in areas that I go to. The Pond doesn't disappoint. It is exactly what one would expect when seeking a dive bar atmosphere. A little ratty, a little rowdy and a whole lot of fun. The coup de grace was they had Guinness on tap, which was completely unexpected. We traveled to Franklin looking for an alternative to Broadway in Nashville on our first night in town. It is worth the trip. Franklin is a very old town with great old architecture and buildings over 200 years old that still look stunning. The Pond was the real reason for my drive down although it was our last stop on our tour of Franklin. The staff was friendly, the Hamburger and fries was delicious, and the beer was cold. They have many options to choose from on tap. They have Darts inside and a couch you'd find down in your friends basement that he found on a tree bank trash day, but that simply adds to the dive bar charm. We stayed for one drink and the burger as we were exhausted from a red eye flight the night before. If you're looking for a dive bar that stays open late and apparently gets packed as the night goes on, this is the spot for you. Most places close early in Franklin, so this is apparently the after hours spot that everyone ends up going to when all other options are closed. The Pond reminded me of a few dive bar spots in Vegas, and I have to recommend you pay them a visit, if for no other reason, just to say you've been there.

Just two of them on this visit. Secondly, unless you come here on a weekly basis, you won't get a hint of attention. Other reviews mention the same horrible service to anyone who doesn't visit this place regularly. You will be completely ignored. This evening the dining area was nearly empty yet we sat for 15 minutes before our drink order was taken. The mixed drinks are good, fear not. Then we sat for 35 minutes before we were able to attract the attention of a server, after several failed attempts. The board is good and hearty as is the spinach dip. The problem here lies in the subpar service, again and again and again. We really try to refrain from giving local establishments negative reviews, but the sheer lack of attention to anyone not hovering around the bar is ridiculous. At one point I walked to the bar to try to get the attention of our server and it still failed. They never checked on us. Never asked if we wanted a refill of water and didn't ask us if we wanted a second drink until we had to track down our bill. The final insult was the server asking my wife and I who were huddled up close on the same side of the table, if we wanted one check or two. Ugh.
