We had a large party on their outdoor patio earlier this Fall, and it was wonderful. We planned the catering prior which was a simple process, and we were given dedicated wait staff for the evening. They did awesome and took great care of us. The food was delicious. Since then, we've been back 3-4 times on Friday evenings for dinner. Can't get enough of their pizza! The service has always been great, too. They don't have that many tables inside, so you do have to wait if they're busy and it isn't nice outside. I also wish they would add a few more restrooms up front. I don't live in Franklin, so I drive ~20 min to get here and still think it's worth it. read more

Really disappointed. Service was terrible. Food took a long time getting here and was fair at best. Server kept telling us she was slammed. I don't consider this to be my problem. The setting was pretty but that's all. read more

Went to Big wood today after Apple Works and was trying to enjoy a lunch with my siblings, who I don't get to see often. First when the host asked how many I had in my party, he said, "Well you're just gonna have to wait. I'm trying to seat 9 other people right now". We finally get seated my meal was completely wrong and had to wait 10 mins before eating since I had to wait for the correct meal. A lot of our food was made incorrectly when we got it. My boyfriend's and my sister's boyfriend's burger were nothing but char. My sisters boyfriend quotes, "it tastes like an ashtray". The server then told him the only thing they could do for him is either remake the same burger or give him a refund, didn't offer to let him chose anything else. So my boyfriend and sister boyfriend did not eat, I believe we all stopped at McDonald's after because we were not please with the quality of the food nor the service. Lastly, our checks were all rang up completely wrong. With all that being said, I am very disappointed in the service I received at was once one of my favorite restaurants, and now I don't believe I'll be returning. read more

We have been here for nearly 3 hours. It took well over an hour for them to realize they "lost our ticket". Got our steaks and they are very purple and we are unable to cut them, no salad and my sons meal was cold. They did comp our meal, but 3 hours in a restaurant with a tired and hungry 3 year old is absolutely excruciating. read more

This place is great. After I got over the disappointment that they dont have the famed pizza at this location, I sooner realized that they offered a plethora of options. If they smoke it in their smokers it's good! I've had the wings and pork so far and both have been good. The atmosphere is nice with big picture Windows overlooking the golf course. Rumors are circling about getting the pizza at this location. I will be adding a bonus 6 star when that happens. I know yelp won't allow me to out a 6th star, the extra star will be in my heart. I would take a big woods pizza to the front of the titanic so we could pretend we are flying like Jack and Rose did in the movie. Ok, enough about this pizza. My girlfriend might get jealous. read more

I was thrilled when I heard a Big Woods would be coming to Franklin. I was a bit puzzled as to how the rustic, country feel of Big Woods would work at the very nice, Hillview Country Club. Happily I can report that it works very well, with it's success driven by the Big Woods tradition of great food and beverages. For the most part, the food is very similar to other Big Woods with favorites like the pulled pork nachos, bbq, and burgers with a few speciality dishes to cater to the golfers (i.e. the Country Club Club) and monthly dinner specials. As expected, beverages are where Big Woods excels with my brews like my favorite the Six Foot Blonde as well as craft mixed drinks featuring their Hard Truth distilled craft liquors. The interior is lodge-like with carved wood benches in the waiting area, a large central bar, and spacious patios overlooking the well-manicured golf course. Service was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I am excited to have a work-project that will take me to Franklin many times this fall and winter. I know I will be making many stops at Big Woods Franklin! read more

This used to be are go to for lunch during the week and on weekends. We haven't been able to go in several months... we went tonight and WOW! You would of thought it was a totally different place! We had 3 Fish and Chips dinners. The serving was about 1/2 the past size. The house made dill tarter for the past times has been switched to what tastes like store boughten. Also the mac-cheese which has been so creamy and delicious, is now spiral noodles with a very light covering of faint cheese. Not mention my wine looked to be about a 2oz pour! After all these disappointing issues, our bill comes and we were charged an up charge of $6 for the ma&cheese. Our bill was $86, now I'm not complaining about that. I understand prices are going up BUT I'm complaining about the smaller portions, and bad quality of food! That was so disappointing! We actually left still hungry, when we usually has leftovers. Hungry people Beware! read more

Made reservations an hour and a half early on a Friday night around 6:30, asked if they could get us a booth. When we arrived we were told we would have to wait an additional 45 min for a booth a family overheard our conversation and was willing for her table of 4 to get up and eat outside so we can have there table, then they proceeded to set us at a two top when the family was waiting for us to fill there seats... We sat down looked at the menu for over 10 min and no one came to take a drink order or say I'll be right there.. We will never return read more

Showed up at about an hour before closing, and was told we were limited to appetizers, salads, and pizza since they were closing the back up.... I'm ok with that so we order a pizza (Which was not bad), however, we had intentions of some burgers. About 10 minutes pass and the table next to us and one more two tables away end up with burgers...... Very unfortunate and disappointing... so I ask the waitress who made the call to close shop, management or laziness in the back (I've worked kitchen staff before I know this happens, but I'd never make my serving staff look like fools and send stuff out for others)... and she nods also in shock deer in headlights.. I know not her fault so I wasn't mad at her, but maybe a manager someone could have checked on us after knowing we had some frustration.. pizza wasn't bad but we won't be returning, I'll make the trip to Nashville, IN for the food and drinks. read more

went there yesterday afternoon the service was pretty good but the food was horrible and wasn't even edible we had to order something else. don't waste your money here just got to the one big woods it hard truth in nashville. read more

One of my favorite breweries, we were only in town for 24 hours but this had to make our to do list. Mainly because of their Strawberry Blonde. I've been to their pizza place out in Nashville but was excited to try their restaurant, and it was just as good! The Mac n Cheese was amazing and super creamy and full of flavor. Plus you can add extras in like bacon and jalapeños. I also caved and ordered a "bag of doughnuts" to go which comes with a chocolate dipping sauce. Totally worth it. Only downside is they didn't have much merchandise at this location. read more

We were there June 13th to celebrate our granddaughters 18th birthday. We ordered the Smokehouse 10 inch pizza thin crust. We were served puffy crust (not THIN) pizza with not much taste, NO CHICKEN and BARELY any pulled pork. BARELY WARM. We even questioned the server about the type of crust we received. She assured us it WAS THIN CRUST. WRONG This was our FIRST time there and our LAST time. WILL NOT RECOMMEND read more

AWFUL experience. Went in early around 530 on a Friday night no chicken wings out of Buffalo dip out of egg rolls. Asked waitress what was good she stated man and cheese was good when It came out it was completely frozen. We asked that it could be reheated.Iy was taken to the kitchen came back out still frozen in several different places they didn't even attempt to mix it up.then hostess came to table and states well "we won't charge you for that."Dam right I did not eat it. Beers took forever to get. Bus boy and hostess were a joke they didn't even know what was going on. HORRIBLE!!!! Will not be going back, read more

Service was prompt and friendly. The thai curry dish had zero flavor, super surprising for a curry and coming from someone who doesn't even do spicy. Pub fries were tasty and fish chips also good. Nice place for dinner, just don't expect anything from the Thai curry. read more

The dining room was very nice and great view of the golf course from our table. I thought the chicken tacos were small for $4.00 each but were tasty. I'll get the hamburger on my next visit. read more

Great place to eat! Food is great, bar is awesome and sitting outside is just relaxing!

Beautiful outside views. We sat in the bar area and our service was good. I had the shrimp tacos and pretty good. My husband had the salmon sandwich and was dry. Beers were tasty. read more

Hit this place up with my kids and the kids menu is on point. Plenty of options and service was excellent and hospitable. Perfect for a chill night in a comfortable, updated atmosphere read more

This review is for Franklin. I was over the moon with my tuna taco flavor! The slaw was the BEST ever!! My last taco had a HUNK of tuna, I had to cut it. My 2 star's is because, my husband's burger came out well done (hockey puck, well done,) brioche bun was SCORCHED, fries were non existent. The waitress asked if we wanted an appetizer. We asked for the soft pretzels. They were out! Ok, no biggie right? Then the table next to us ordered soup, they were out of CRACKERS!?! SERIOUSLY??? Send the busboy to Kroger for some saltines!! This is a flipping country club!?! How in the HELL do you run out of crackers and pretzels???? How do you OVER cook hamburger and stingy with fries??? HEY management, if YOU want to survive at a COUNTRY CLUB, RE-TRAIN YOUR PEOPLE read more

Food was soooo good and my server Sonia was exceptional. Loved the veggie nachos and pulled pork mac n cheese.

I frequent the Big Woods in Bloomington and Nashville frequently, but was visiting my boyfriend in Whiteland, so we decided to give this location a try. Definitely not up to the same quality as Bloomington or Nashville. To start, we waited 45 minutes to be seated, which is understandable on a Saturday night. However, it was clear the wait was due to the restaurant being severely understaffed as the hostess was also quite busy busing tables and there were plenty of open tables. After 45 minutes passed, I walked up the the hostess stand to inquire how much longer the wait was. The hostess then apologized and stated she checked on her tablet that she had already seated us, but was so busy busing tables, forgot to actually seat us. We were seated at a large table used for bigger parties, but were happy to just be seated. We then wait over 10 minutes and no one comes to take our drink order or even state, "someone will be right with you". Waiters and waitresses walk by several times without so much as eye contact. Finally, I flag a waitress down to ask who's talking care of us and she states, "I'm not sure". She comes back soon after saying she's not supposed to be our waitress, but she'll take care of us. We order drinks and food all at once since we'd been waiting so long. We wait at least another 30 minutes for our food only for it to be cold! I got the mahi mahi tacos and they were sparse on the fish AND ice cold! My boyfriend got the fried rice and his was mildly warm at best. The bottom line, this is NOT the service I expect or have experienced in the past at Big Woods. Highly disappointing and not worth the over $50 spent. read more

We went to this Big Woods location on October 17th after the Nashville location said there would be an hour and a half wait...boy I wish we had just waited. Although it seemed busy when we showed up to meet our friends at their table...we didn't expect to wait 30 minutes just to put in drink and appetizer orders nor did we expect to wait another 30 minutes to order our food nor did we expect to then wait ANOTHER hour before we were forced to walk out. Never had anyone in our dining party nor anyone else in the small room where we and four other tables were seated experience such terrible (basically nonexistent) service. I understand that it was a Friday night and that it was busy throughout the restaurant but every time I went to ask when our server would come back I would pass tables full of happy customers eating and drinking. It seems our section was largely ignored. I even asked the hostess for an update halfway through the ordeal and never saw her again, nor did we see our waitress again after we asked her for a similar update. The $18 desperation run to Taco Bell after walking out of a restaurant hungry for the first time ever was much faster and, according to other reviews as I can't speak from experience, presumably much tastier. read more

Amazing food, service has some opportunities. Missing a great opportunity to serve food on front porch.

So happy that Big Woods put a location in Franklin...the beer is good and the nachos are the best in the state! Always loved going to their Nashville location and now it's just a short bike ride away. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. Made a reservation for 1pm. Arrived at 12:58. The hostess told us our table would be ready in 5-10 min. We literally sat and waited for 50 min until we finally got up and left. read more

The scenery was beautiful and I love the Oliver wines they had available. At $7 a glass, I was hoping to get more than a 3 oz pour but alas. We ordered a $23 specialty pizza and the truffle parm fries. The fries were decent but the pizza was horrible. It was a big, puffy, bland crust that I would guess came straight from the freezer. There was barely any sauce, cheese, or other toppings on it. There was one chunk of chicken per giant flavorless slice. Was really disappointing and I wish I had gotten something else so that I didn't feel like I just wasted $50 for a meal that would have been better if I got it from the freezer section at the grocery store. Our waitress was sweet but she was also manning the bar solo and didn't have the time to spare to give us the attention needed. I don't fault her for that. But overall, yet another brewery making a feeble attempt to have a hip/trendy menu so they can inflate the prices without delivering on the quality. read more

Great food and atmosphere. I enjoy the steak, fish, and tenderloin. They have their own brand of gin and my gin and tonics taste great. Best Bloody Mary I've had. The slaw is spicy-- and excellent. read more

Service has always been mediocre each time we have been here but the last time we went was the worst. It took forever to be seated, we waited an hour. I wanted to leave but our friends wanted to stick it out. It took about ten mins for a waitress to even take our drink order.Our appetizer came before our waters and she just laughed when we asked for our waters. Then she brought us beers instead of our order of waters. Total mess all night long. I love Nashville Big Woods and would rather drive an hour away instead of going to this one. read more

Having eaten in the Scotty's before it became a Big Woods I knew how to find the place. It is kind of hidden but worth the drive. Beautiful setting. This restaurant is so much better than the previous one. We have always loved Big Woods because of how different they all are. The food is always very good (Speedway is the best) but Franklin has a great atmosphere. The manager delivers food and cleans up the dishes off of the table! Our bartender Alex? Was very down to Earth and seemed to really enjoy her job. The place was clean. The manager walked us out almost to our car!! It was such a different feel than when it was Scotty's. Big Woods knows how to make you feel at home! read more

Food was excellent service was wonderful. We had Sonia as our server and she was excellent. Would definitely be back.

At one point in time, I would have easily given this four stars. Unfortunately the service seems to have slacked, the kitchen is super super slow, and the portions have shrunk. It's just very frustrating to eat here now. Management must really be lacking in this Big Woods location. read more

Excellent atmosphere. Food was good but the curry chicken tacos weren't as listed on menu.

I'm going to start by saying that this restaurant is a place we have been many times and have generally enjoyed. However, the past few times have been edible, but not great, we chalked it up to them being busy. Today we visited because we happened to be in the Franklin area, and we were hoping we'd have a great experience like our first few times and to celebrate some great news for our business. Our hostess was very accommodating and friendly, our server was also friendly. Our food on this particular visit left much to be desired. Each meal we ordered cost around $16, except our daughter's (ordered from kids' menu). Dinner cost was not outrageous, however I would have liked to at least enjoy eating it and not have to cook once at home. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich because they were out of the steak for the steak salad that he usually orders. The piece of chicken was so small that he actually thought they forgot to put it on the sandwich. So, he opened the bun to check...opened the bun to a piece of chicken that was about the same size as the larger end of a chicken tender. The ends of the bacon on the sandwich were so burnt, you couldn't tell it was bacon, and the cheese on his sandwich was in no way melted. My husband also ordered a side of vegetables instead of fries that it comes with. The vegetables were cold (that was the first thing he took a bite of), and were also such a small amount that we honestly wondered if they had been scraped off of someone else's plate. I had the fish and chips dinner. Two of the three pieces of fish were very over-cooked, one was barely cooked through (still looked translucent). Our daughters chicken fingers and smiley fries were pretty typical, but still over cooked. Her smiley fries were so overdone that there was very little potato left to them. Our server had not come back to check with us after we received our food so we flagged down the hostess and asked her for the manager or our server. Our server did come and saw our food, she also agreed to take my husband's sandwich off our bill. We were disappointed that whatever manager was in charge didn't come to speak with us/or was not aware of what was coming out of his kitchen. Unfortunately, we did not take pictures of our food to prove our complaints. However, we rarely complain about dining service because we have both worked in the service industry and know that there are many factors that go into it. Needless to say, we won't be back to this particular location for a loooong time to come! Knowing that food quality was not our server's fault we still tipped her 18%. read more

The only positive tonight was our server. This place has gone to hell. We used to come here a lot and got great food but not now. After waiting 50 minutes (quoted 45) and there were empty tables not being bussed everywhere. Once finally seated we were met with a list of things they were out of and one being the pulled pork. Once food came out it was all mediocre at best. Probably our last visit. read more

Arrived at 6:55 pm, hostess said it would be 40 -45 minutes.. maybe sooner to be seated. We waited 40 minutes, which was fine because that was what she told us. We were seated at a booth in the bar. It was a good 15 or 20 minutes before our server even came to acknowledge us. We received our 2 beers, water and ice tea pretty quick. But right before it would've been an hour after we ordered our food, our waitress finally comes by and said our order would be up shortly... it had 'gotten pushed back???" ( People next to us came after us, ordered and ate before we got our order!). So then she asks if we all needed refills or more beers. Uh, yes, what gave you that idea.... our empty glasses?! She was supposed to bring a water instead of a second beer for one of the beer drinkers, to which they never received. Our food arrives, my order, I had specifically asked to leave off the barbecue sauce off the 1/2 nachos.... and there it was... all over it! My daughter had the woodsman flatbread and it had no balsamic glaze on it or the truffle oil, ( which she ordered that because of that coming on it!! We were afraid how long it was going to take to get it back. I can't remember the last time I ate at a restaurant that wasn't fine dining that it took an hour to receive our food. This was our first time eating at Big Woods in Franklin and wasn't happy at all. read more

Best Brews and views around. Pulled pork nanchos and the yellow dwarf is my favorite pairing!

I love there chicken wings and they some times have good service and my hole family love their restaurant

We really had a very enjoyable time this evening, we had the BJ burger, nachos, and the ahi tuna tacos. All were an amazing hit. Delicious food and all very tasteful and homemade. Beautiful outside seating along with a great view. Good beer (quaff on) and we walked out with a huge smile on our faces. read more

Everything we ate or drank here was amazing. Had the ribs that were on special, and they might have been the best ribs I've had in the Indy area. Service was great. The atmosphere and view was very relaxing. Family friendly--we didn't have our kids there but there were many families. read more
