    Tortilla Soup
    Luis M.

    As someone born and raised on authentic Mexican cuisine, I don't say this lightly -- Don Arturo's is easily top three in all of Middle Tennessee when it comes to flavor, price, and real-deal Mexican food. I've tried plenty of spots across town, but few deliver the consistency, seasoning, and value this place does. Their tortilla soup (pictured) is absolutely packed with flavor, and the chips and salsa are always fresh -- no shortcuts here. Everything tastes like it was made with care and real ingredients. It also has a cozy, local vibe -- definitely feels like a spot where regulars come to eat, which I always appreciate. Now, let's be honest: the ambiance doesn't match the food. During one visit, some of the servers were tremendously louder than the guests, which threw off the atmosphere a bit. But even with that, the food spoke louder -- and won. Overall? 5/5 for the food, hands down. I've come back multiple times for a reason -- unbeatable flavor at a price that's hard to match.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup

    Still amazing. Still a huge menu. The large chicken tortilla soup is basically served in a small crock pot LOL - so. much. food. Truly the epitome of a classic, comprehensive Mexican restaurant. It's a family fave, and super affordable too!

    The Best Arturo's

    This place was hopping! Got to our table and waitress was right there, took our drink orders and was back in a flash. We ordered the Best Arturo and it did not disappoint. It has shrimp, beef and chicken with all kinds of vegetables. It came out sizzling and smelled so good. There was so much food and we shared this meal. Have enough for lunch next day. It was a bit noisy but it was a good buzz with all the people in there. The prices are unbelievable we couldn't believe it. Go for happy hour. Jumbo margarita $5.07, 20 ounce draft Pacifico $3.24. Just wished we lived closer since we are here on vacation. Great place !!!!!

    Yummy food and drinks! I'm not sure I'll come back for a second visit though. Our table was awfully dirty and the service was just okay.

    Fajita Quesadilla
    Kristine M.

    I'm so glad we tried this restaurant. First of all their horchata was great. It's sad when you go to a Mexican restaurant and they sit don't have horchata. Second, their cheese dip is great, it's both spicy and flavorful. I ordered the steak and chicken fajitas and it was seasoned very well and came with a side of rice, beans, tortillas, guac and pico. Our group also ordered a fajita quesadilla, mixed fajita plate with veggies, shrimp quesadilla and 3 chicken tamales. We had 5 dinners for about $80. This will probably be our new go to mexican restaurant.

    The service is a little slow, but the food and the prices are good. The seating could use some updating as well.

    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.

    Great service and awesome atmosphere , would definitely recommend visiting. The drinks were great…read moreand prices were great.
