    Fried Pickles
    Nancy P.

    We had the fried pickles with home made ranch, patty melt with fries, wagyu burger with sweet potato fries. Service was good, the food came out hot and quick. Pickles were so good and crunchy with the home made ranch. The patty melt and wagyu burger were juicy and delicious. One of the best burgers in town. There's plenty of parking in the park.

    Well I got a to go order placed in the restaurant and walked out not looking at it which is my fault apparently but it was all tied up so it would've been hard to get it open Drove 25 minutes home to find that I didn't get what I ordered. My daughter is so disappointed because she got two measly little chicken tenders when she was supposed to get the two sliders. When you place it to go order in person, it shouldn't be wrong and they weren't busy.

    I had been looking forward to trying Ground, so today we stopped by for lunch to grab a couple burgers. We ordered an appetizer of loaded fries to start. These came out only about five minutes before our burgers arrived. The queso was very mild and the ranch seemed to overpower the dish. For our meals, my husband and I each chose a build your own burger with the wagyu beef. The beef had a great flavor and we both enjoyed our burgers very much. My husband said this may be his favorite Tennessee burger that he has had yet! Our sides were fried pickles, which were okay but not the best I have had, and tater tots, and we shared the two. Overall, we definitely enjoyed our visit, and the burgers will bring us back for a return visit. If you find yourself in Franklin and craving a good burger, be sure to check them out.

    Food On point! Had the Philly Cheesesteak, cesar salad, and Cubano burger, and everything was done really well. The Cheesesteak had a great cook, peppers were still crunchy, onions soft, beef well seasoned, the bread had exceptional flavor and was toasted well. My only thing was the inside fell through the bread as soon as I picked it up, so it turned into a knife-and-forker. The beef for the burger was well seasoned with a nice coarse but not too coarse grind, cooked perfectly and again well-seasoned. Fried piclelswas a good touch along with also having fresh veggies to add as toppings. Service Great! We got to know the owner Matt and learned this location opened 5.5yrs ago while the Cool Springs location opened 9yrs ago. He was very personable while the food was ready quick. Ambiance I really enjoyed the feel of the space at the West Franklin location. Had a real comfortable, like I was eating at home feel. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

    Gotta love this place!! Small town burger joint in Franklin, TN amazing food, small town atmosphere and awesome staff. I just placed and order to go, which you'll have to do there as they aren't currently taking to go orders over the phone. It is really easy though, walk up to the counter (basically to the kitchen) and use the large touch screen to place your order, they make it really really easy to customize your food with their POS system. I got two Pioneer burgers to go with fries and they were all done and ready to go in less than 10 min. The staff was super nice, some young hard working gentlemen, and the place was clean and had a great small town diner vibe. I definitely recommend it here!

    1/2 BBQ BURGER AND HALF SPICY CHICKEN WITH A KICK

    Good food with great portions. The food came out very fast. We tried the spicy chicken sandwich with a kick, the BBQ burger and the fried pickles. Only downside is the location is due for some upkeep, painting and deep cleaning.

The duck fat fries are really addictive and truffle aioli pairs well with them. Also had a chance to try their ranch and that was tasty and did leave that sour taste like store bought ranch.

The warm, inviting vibe immediately drew me in. Since I was dining solo, I was able to grab a seat at the bar, which the hostess kindly pointed out was available. Considering the restaurant was packed and there was a long wait for tables, I was more than happy to skip the wait and settle right in. Behind the bar, the team was hustling, expertly balancing both coffee and cocktail orders while keeping things moving efficiently. I was greeted right away, handed a menu, and after a few minutes decided on an iced lavender latte and the lemon poppyseed waffle. My server offered a few side options, but I had a feeling the waffle would be more than enough. The lavender latte was fantastic, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of lavender syrup. It was flavorful without being overpowering and made for a refreshing start to the meal. Then came the waffle. The presentation alone was impressive; it looked more like a piece of art than a breakfast dish. Naturally, my phone had to eat first. But once I finally took that first bite, I understood what all the hype was about. The lemon flavor was subtle, bright, and refreshing, while the poppy seeds baked into the waffle added both texture and depth. Honestly, it was one of the best waffles I've ever had. Every bite was delicious, and it's a dish I'll be thinking about long after this visit. If you're looking for a standout breakfast in a lively atmosphere, Two Hands is absolutely worth the stop.

We started off with the Mini Donuts with dipping sauces, and they were a huge hit! Unfortunately, I was off my game and forgot to take pictures of some of the appetizers before they disappeared.

For the entrees, I went with the Eggs Benedict with home fries, and it was perfection. Others at the table ordered the Chicken Fingers and Fries, great comfort food with amazing flavor. The fries are the thin-cut style, which makes them extra good. The granddaughters split a hamburger and absolutely loved it. The service is always great here, but this visit had a special touch. The granddaughters wanted a carrot to feed to their stuffed bunny, and the waitress actually brought one out for them! Little things like that make a big impression.

Comes with jalapeno hot sauce - don't be shy, it's more slightly tangy than spicy and it perfects the delicious deviled eggs. Appreciate that they're generous with the glazed bacon.

It must have been a carry over from the previous evening is all I can imagine. Anyway, if it's on the daily specials, order as soon as you see it! Loud, bustling, it's a popular place, be sure to reserve ahead (of sit at the beautiful bar, that works for a lot of folks as well).
