    Horrible food presentation and quality
    Steph H.

    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
    Carol S.

    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!

    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

    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!

    Chicken Roasted Broccoli Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese
    Julianna J.

    We initially got captivated by the name - then saw the menu and saw how the had a plethora of clean options and gluten free recipes and decided it was a no brainer! Lots of yummy options to choose from. The lovely lady at the register greeted us as we walked in and let us know that if we had any questions we could ask! We put our order in, went to sit and was getting ready to play a round of uno when our food came out! So the turn around was really fast for our meal! The waitress who brought out our food was incredibly sweet as well! I mean all the staff we interacted with was incredibly pleasant! The food itself! OMG YUM! The gluten free Mac and cheese! SO YUMMY! Especially for being gluten free! The chicken was super juicy and basically melted in my mouth. Along with the broccoli! It had the crispy texture and perfect flavor! It truly was delicious. We also got a noodle dish and oh man that was riddled with flavor! My daughter got the kids meal steak and was obsessed- especially the mash potatoes which I tried and omg I should've gotten my own. Literally could've ordered a bowl of those mash potatoes. Overall would come again and dine whenever I could. Especially since I have a sensitive stomach! Also their brownies, cookies and muffin were phenomenalllllll

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

    Flower Child not only has a very wide selection of delicious food, the employees are top notch! The employees are smiling, friendly, gracious, and accommodating. I felt like a family member the way they treated me. The kind of employees that you'd love for neighbors that bring you homemade soup. The food is so good, too! If you haven't tried this place, put it on your must go list!

    The was very good. I got a bowl with steak, mac and cheese and brussel sprout, I will say the proportions from meat to the rest was honestly disappointing I got a lil sliver of meat. Lots of seating and the interior was so pretty. Service was alright got my order wrong.

    Roasted Sweet Potato Fries
    Elizabeth B.

    A new spot in Cool Springs! Parking can get tricky because they are drawing crowds. Upon entering you join the line to order. Yes, there are lots of options on the menu, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free items are well marked. Interestingly, the roasted broccoli and cauliflower "risotto" both include bread crumbs. Those would have been my go to sides, but I am gluten free, so those weren't an option. I ordered the shrimp entree with gf Mac and cheese (fair), sweet potato fries (burned and too salty) and the shrimp was rubbery but had a nice favor. My friend ordered chicken yakisoba noodles and reported that it was good. The space was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. I'm in the nutrition business and appreciate their aim for healthierfood, but there are some things that need tweaking in my opinion.

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.
