    My husband and I absolutely loved our lunch at Flower Child! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My husband ordered the poke bowl, and he couldn't stop talking about how fresh and delicious it was. I had the chicken enchiladas, and they were so incredibly good that I'm going to have a hard time ordering anything else on future visits! They were packed with flavor and quickly became one of my favorite restaurant meals. To top it all off, I enjoyed the berry sangria, which was the perfect refreshing drink on a hot summer day. One tip: take a look at the menu online before you go. They have so many amazing choices that it's hard to decide what to order! We already can't wait to go back and try more. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, wholesome food in a bright and welcoming atmosphere!

    Beautiful restaurant- full to the gills at lunch time. TONS. Of options food wise. I love that they grab you a table with a number while you stand in line. The cashew cookie was phenomenal. All the drink options were amazing and my bowl was so fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back.

    Flower Child is a great addition to Franklin! Fresh, unique, healthy & serves such oh so yummy food! I ordered The Flying Avocado Wrap that came with mixed greens that had a light dressing. My husband ordered the Steak Salad & liked it too. He noted that it would have been better with a blue cheese dressing instead of ranch dressing. The atmosphere is energetic & the decor is happy & the dining area is full of lots of natural light. I am already looking forward to my next visit! Possibly when it is nicer weather so I can take advantage of the patio. The only reason I am giving FC 4 stars is because the tables are SO close together ( you could literally hear people's entire conversations). It is also a bit pricey but, heck , I do not mind paying up a 'lil for good eats! Stop in & give it a try. There is something for everyone on the menu. Bon Appetite !

    My sister suggested this place while I was visiting in town and it really blew me away! Easy-ish parking & you order at a counter then the staff brings your food to your table using an assigned number. The menu has so much variety & a lot of different kinds of flavors to choose from. I went with a classic plate with tofu and two sides of mac and cheese & Brussels sprouts. We also added an avocado hummus which was amazing. The macaroni was a stand out for me but everything ended up being great. We had three little kids with our group and got lucky with an open booth table in the back corner. I appreciated the light and fun decorations and the kids had a good time looking around and of course crawling on the booth. Lol! Afterwards I learned this is a chain and there's one closer to where I live so I will absolutely be back!

    Horrible food presentation and quality

    Food was really bad, just put simply. Should have went to ShakeShack across the street, seriously. The girl taking the orders up front was really kind and I found the drinks offered to be good. But the food, was a joke. Like cafeteria food. We got a salmon and steak entree. Literally sloppy presentation and steak was chewy and *not medium* as stated on menu. Sides were all bad, we were shocked. Cauliflower risotto was terrible, with an off smell. Even the muffins we ordered weren't enjoyable. We left most all of the food we paid $50 and left. Don't recommend at all.

    Such a cute restaurant offering a wide variety of unique healthy options. It took me quite some time to decide what to order; everything sounded so good! This restaurant could receive a 6th star just for the interior decor. It's full of color, super clean, and has the loveliest vibe. What we ordered: -Chicken Enchiladas: Warm and filling! This dish had a lot of flavor and was the perfect serving. -Mother Earth: Such a unique dish bursting with flavor and full of fresh ingredients. My boyfriend added steak to this, and he loved it. The prices here are appropriate for the quality of food, service, and ambiance. This is a franchise that has a few locations in select states. I hope they eventually branch out to Birmingham!

    FRANKLIN IS BLESSEDDDD- this spot is one of (if not fully) my favorite/s. I've gotten it to-go and also ate in the restaurant. It tasted equally amazing both ways! The food is fresh quality ingredients, nutritious, hearty, and filling. We love Flower Child! SIDES - Broccoli was the perfect balance of lemon and parmesan. Gold mashed potatoes, if you have ever had potatoes out of the garden- you know. Sweet potato fries, baked to perfection. Sweet and Crunchy. MAIN DISH - I've only ever gotten the flying avocado because when it aint broke, don't fix it. It's such a good wrap and I love the light salad that comes with it. YUM! Mouth watering already. My husband said he would rank his 3 meals as follows- 1. BEST, Steak entree 2. 2ND, Forbidden Rice Bowl 3. Least Favorite but still SUPER GREAT - French Dip We already talk about the next time we'll go! The restaurant is super cozy, seating is comfortable, the vibe/decor is bright and summery. The waitstaff is attentive, super helpful, and constantly restocking so you'll never be without anything. Protip- The water outside is way better than the water fountain inside. Another tip - there is extra parking around the back side of Lululemon/Barre etc.

    Busy place but so worth it! There is typically a long line but having an employee assign you a table before you even order- love that idea! Usually you panic that you won't be able to find a table but this system helps alleviate that worry. I tried the Mediterranean Chicken Kabob bowl and I LOVED it!!! So fresh and filling. Love the flower child decor .

    Flower Child is one of my absolute favorite restaurant concepts, and I've been counting down the days until they opened their first Middle TN location! I was excited to drive down to Franklin to check out this new location during their first full week of business. Understandably, there is a lot of hype surrounding this location, and it was packed when I arrived to meet a friend here for lunch on a Wednesday at noon. Packed as in I had to circle the shopping center twice to find a parking spot, and then the line to order our food was out the door. I'm sure the lines will die down a bit later this summer ... but I firmly believe Flower Child is absolutely worth the wait! Their team is friendly and incredibly organized. Tables are assigned based on party size while you're waiting in line, and then you let the cashier know your table number when you order. We were seated outside, and while it was a pretty warm day, we still managed to snag a spot in the shade. Sadly, Flower Child was sold out of the sweet potato fries when I placed my order. This is my favorite thing on their menu ... and something I was thinking about on my drive down from Nashville. However, our cashier was incredibly helpful with some alternate suggestions, and I ended up trying the soy glazed sweet potato, which was delicious too! I paired it with grilled chicken and roasted broccoli for a light but still filling lunch. I can't wait to come back again soon to finally get my sweet potato fries and to introduce even more friends to one of my favorite spots. Welcome to TN, Flower Child!

    Peruvian Braised Beef Bowl

    Thoroughly impressed with this place. The decor is hippie fun, the staff is nice and helpful, and the food was melt in your mouth delicious! We got there and go in line. They ask how many people are in your party. Then put a number on a table for u to sit at when you're done ordering. This made the restaurant so much more organized. The got the Peruvian Braised Beef bowl. It was melt in your mouth meat with the best beans I have ever had in my life. Everything was so flavorful and beautifully plated. I cannot wait to try more on the menu!

    WOW! My lunch breaks in Franklin just got 10 times better! I was SO excited for Flower Child to open! This area needed more lunch options that offered healthier options! I am amazed by the quality of each meal they put out and how darn delicious everything is! My coworker and I ordered online, so easy to create your order, the only difficult part was deciding what to order! I wanted everything so I ordered an additional kids meal to try it all! Pick up was a breeze! If you want to skip the line order to go, there is a whole wall for pick up orders easy for you to walk in, grab & go! I ordered a Steak Plate with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Roasted Broccoli as well as a Kids Salmon Plate with Sweet Corn Quinoa and Mac and cheese! I am usually not one for steak unless it's made at home, but I was SO IMPRESSED! As for sides: Would definitely recommend the sweet corn quinoa and the broccoli! Cannot wait to come again!

    Sweet potato fries with ranch

    Enjoyed a recent visit to the new location in Franklin. Love the ascetics of the place both inside and out. Looking at the food picture on the company website I walked in thinking I was not going to enjoy the food. However, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the food and experience. They were also offering free dessert for reward members on the 4th.. ordered chocolate pudding and it was mouth watering. Nothing like store bought pudding, a rich chocolate taste and perfect with nuts and coconut topping. Highly recommend downloading the AP for rewards before going. We both loved our entrees too, the turkey Advacato wrap was delicious with a side of green salad that already had a light dressing. I had enough to bring home for lunch the next day. My daughter loved the chicken with corn and sweet potato fries. We both said that surprised us on how much we enjoyed and that we would visit again.

    black bean falafel wrap
    Lily S.

    Within their first week of operating, I went to Flower Child three times, each visit trying something different and each visit walking away licking my lips in satisfaction. My mom (whom I took with me on round three) calls meals like the ones served at Flower Child, "borderline self-righteous" - By this she means there's something healthful and nutritious enough about the dish she's eaten to warrant an air of pomp upon departure. Like, "Well, well, well, would you look at that! I ate out, and I don't feel like a proverbial grease-ball! Watch out, Gwyneth Paltrow, there's a new wellness guru on the block!" The food at Flower Child is flavorful, light, and fresh. The service is warm, friendly, and prompt (which is even more impressive when you consider how recently they opened!) I have been completely won-over by this new spot. So far I've tried the chopped salad, the avocado caesar, the black bean falaffel wrap and the carolina bbq chicken wrap, all of which I can enthusiastically recommend. Oh, and be sure to wash it down with the triple berry sangria ** If I could use emojis in Yelp reviews, I'd insert a heart-eyed one riiiight here! ** Now stop your scrolling and go try Flower Child, odds are I will see you there!

    Sorry, we were hungry and forgot to take photos of our food but it was really delicious!

    We visited MI Kitchen in Franklin with absolutely zero expectations, and it ended up being one of…read morethe best dining experiences we've had in a while. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. The first thing that stood out was their small plate concept, and I absolutely loved it. I enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of committing to just one entrée, and this concept is something I wish more restaurants would adopt. We ended up trying almost half the menu and loved nearly every dish. A huge shout-out to our server, Nestor. He welcomed us warmly, was cheerful throughout the evening, and his recommendations were spot on. He truly made the dinner even more enjoyable. We started with a couple of mocktails, and the Purple Haze was refreshing and delicious. Here are some of our favorites: MI Cucumber - Smashed cucumber with soy dressing, crunchy chili oil, and cilantro. Simple, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Plantain - Fried plantains topped with sriracha goat cheese, cilantro, and crunchy gremolata. The sriracha goat cheese paired perfectly with the sweet plantains. K-Pop Chicken - Korean sweet and spicy popcorn chicken with great flavor and a perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Dumplings - Homemade steamed dumplings with edamame, truffle, yuzu ponzu, and garlic confit. I really enjoyed the truffle flavor, though it may not be for everyone. Kimchi Bacon Risotto - Caramelized kimchi, applewood smoked bacon, tomato, and shrimp. One of the best dishes of the night--perfectly cooked with incredible flavor. Crispy Spicy Tuna - Spicy mayo tuna served over crispy rice. This was one of the highlights of the meal. The crispy rice was absolutely perfect. Cauliflower Taco - Crispy cauliflower with guacamole, creamy miso, and tsiran spice. The filling was flavorful, and the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. Lamb Chops - This was the only dish that felt average. The lamb was cooked well, but it was missing a bit of flavor. A little more seasoning, especially some salt, would have really elevated the dish. To finish the meal, we had the Banana Pudding with Vanilla Gelato, which was a delicious and satisfying way to end dinner. Overall, MI Kitchen completely exceeded our expectations. Amazing food, a fun small-plate concept, and outstanding service from Nestor made this a memorable experience. We'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu!

It's one of those places where everything is packed with flavor and every dish feels a little special. The Mi cucumber is absolutely to die for--especially when you put it on top of the dumplings. Trust me on that combo! The K-Pop chicken is AMAZING and a must-order every time. The arancini has such a flavorful and unique twist that really stands out. The spring roll was delicious too, full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. And the tacos... you cannot skip them. The beef tacos are incredible, and the cauliflower tacos are just as good. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. On top of the fantastic food, the service is always great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend!! Be sure to make a reservation!

People we know love the restaurant so perhaps it's just us. Went home that night and made a great noodle meal with De Cecco noodles and sea animals which wife and I ate till stuffed.

    I emailed the restaurant about a week ago, in lieu prematurely leaving a bad review online. I…read morewanted to give them a chance to address my experience, but instead, got zero response. This was the email I sent: "Two friends and I had a 7:15 PM reservation at Culaccino on January 10. Our server was Lee. Things started out fine, but we found ourselves quickly being subjected to Lee's somewhat aggressive approach to service. He honestly was the least personable server I've ever experienced, and had a very condescending manner. A misunderstanding occurred on my friend's order. She was brought a dish with pork in it, which was not what she ordered. Mistakes happen, but Lee was not at ALL nice or accommodating about it, laying the blame on her, and bringing it up multiple times during our meal, with a snarky and resentful undertone. After we paid, he walked up, dropped our checks, and walked away without a word. It was the first time in my life I've ever been tempted to leave zero tip. My conscience for some reason would not allow me to follow through on this, but it was as undeserved as any gratuity I've ever left. We wanted dessert, but we ended up going elsewhere due to how we'd been treated. We also had no clue we would be charged $6 a person for water! Perhaps something that could be mentioned during the ordering process. I've honestly never had a more disappointing dining experience. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and had hoped to come back for a date night, but our experience left such a bad impression, I can't imagine spending additional money here. I'm not sure if other diners have had this experience with Lee, but we certainly did not feel welcome or valued as customers and felt it was important to make you aware." The food was fine, but most dishes needed salt- so basic. The lack of response from management, however, really says everything one needs to know about Culaccino. I'd truly recommend spending your dining dollars elsewhere.
