The food, while basic, is given some love and it's pretty decent! Shockingly, their salmon tastes pretty fresh. Most is frozen I'm sure, but they do their best to fancy things up with sauces, etc, and pretty successful! Service is always great. Kind people. Quick. They have an upstairs area you can book/block for private parties which is great. Really appreciate this place and I'll continue to be a steady customer!

There's nothing flashy or attention-grabby about JJ's, no pomp or pretension. In a market that seems saturated with conceptually whacky cocktail and wine bars, I find the simplicity of JJ's refreshing. If it's chilly outside, JJ's invites you to tuck in from the cold and enjoy a board game. On temperate evenings, this is just the place to pull up a chair on the patio and enjoy a beveragino while you people-watch downtown Franklin's historic Main Street. And, just to cover all my bases, if it's grotesquely hot (as it so often is in TN), JJ's affords you the opportunity to drown your sweaty sorrows in a classy manner. Whatever the occasion, no matter the weather, you can count on comfort & consistency at JJ's - and that is worth every star!

We sat on the shaded porch, enjoyed some wine, and watched the festival crowd pass by. We shared the spinach dip and charcuterie board, which paired nicely with the wine. The self-serve dispensers were a fun feature and made it easy to try several different wines with smaller pours instead of committing to a full glass. It was a relaxed and enjoyable stop, and we would gladly return the next time we're in Franklin.

There's something special about sitting back with great food and drinks while listening to talented local musicians in such a historic, laid-back setting. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope to find in a small Tennessee town--welcoming, authentic, and full of character. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The food was delicious, the drinks were cold, and the live music truly made the visit memorable. It wasn't just background entertainment--it created an atmosphere that made us want to stay much longer than we planned. Fox & Locke perfectly captures the charm of Leiper's Fork. Whether you're a local or just exploring the area for the weekend, this is the kind of place that keeps you coming back. Great food, great people, and fantastic live music--what more could you ask for? Highly recommend!

I was talking up this drink I originally had there, but also had at the sister location in DT Nashville that they called to get the recipe and surprised me at the table with after raving about it (the international) the waitress proceeded to argue that I had the name wrong it was a pretty gross experience. Do not look at any online menus wait until you get to the restaurant. We had a colleague who is celiac we asked about a separate menu (you would have thought I asked if they did brain surgery) because there are no markers on the regular menu, the waitress proceeds to lecture the person on what they should order at restaurants... She was a different individual interacting with the mens end of the table than she was with the lady's side. We opted to share several things. Thankfully the food is still on point. And it is still beautiful. The drinks we ordered were tasty. That is why this review got a 3 and not a 2.

This amphitheater, located at the Graystone rock quarry, is really lovely, unique, and just an…read moreoverall cool place!!!! My Sorority Sisters and I had tickets for the Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, and Corrosion of Conformity show last Sunday evening. The amphitheater was clean, the seats were comfortable, and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. Sadly, I can't speak to the acoustics because ~ three minutes into their soundcheck, Corrosion of Conformity were forced to depart the stage (and the entire venue (which can accommodate 7,500 folks) was evacuated) due to lightning. The lightning/thunderstorms/showers lasted well into 2.5 subsequent hours and finally, the show was completely postponed. Boo!!!! The arena's protocol (beyond plastic purses of a certain size) is, if lightning is present, patrons are supposed to "shelter in their vehicle." We Uber'ed to FirstBank, as many others did, meaning, we did not have a vehicle to shelter in. We checked with an employee who asked for our "white wristbands" which we were never given, as another employee also asked for, and they pointed us to an on grounds chapel with covered patios where folks rode out the storm "elbow to elbow." Someone said the white wristbands were supposed to designate us as Uber riders. Another protocol point regarding weather is, if you, for example, get in line to return inside the arena, within thirty minutes of the last lightning bolt/appearance you are "on your own" in terms of endangering yourself. We spent over three hours here, including "sheltering" at the chapel, standing back in line, re-sheltering, then learning the show was officially cancelled and weaving/winding around slick, dark, sidewalks in pouring rain to the Uber pickup area that has zero shelter from the elements. We were three totally soaked rats, since we left our ponchos in the car due to no prediction of rain during this time. Positives were all the restrooms were clean (despite the female restroom in the chapel running out of toilet paper), and the fact they did play Judas Priest music on the chapel's patio for us to listen to, and most staff were friendly and helpful. Cons are lack of shelter, lack of clear signage/guidance about Uber pick-up points, and not providing proper wristbands. Also, there is either one single entry road/exit road, or one single entry and one single exit road. Regardless, the traffic, although improved as noted by others over the couple of years, was still onerous, especially in the dark rain at 9:15 PM onwards. Thank you security, local Sheriffs, and arena staff for doing good jobs in keeping thousands of people informed and aware as best they could! I am hoping this exact lineup is really rescheduled on a date we can all attend in the near future! Because of the weather we didn't sample any food/beverages. Others reported beers were about $16.00 each and the clothing merchandise for sale was generally in the $50.00 range.
