    Raw hamburger from Ground Restaurant
    John C.

    Place was empty, so I should've know by that and the vibe that it was going to suck. Place feels sticky and gross. It needs to be cleaned up. Ordered a plain cheeseburger with bacon and BBQ sauce. It had fried onions on it that I specifically said I did not want. I removed them and took a bite. The meat tasted off, so I looked and my burger was not cooked (pink raw meat). Fries were super salty. My daughter's kids meal, the burger was a tad overcooked. Overall, don't waste your time here. There are better places to go for a burger.

    Wow! Thank you for existing. I honestly think these burgers are delicious. If I can say that of a colder version of the burger, I know the fresh version would be even better. This place is located in a shopping center next to a sushi place and a subway. The atmosphere is super chill. They have everything in the kitchen on the open so you see them cook your meal. I had my order to go so I didn't experience the customer service but I know it was pretty funny and super welcoming when I came to pick up my food. Everything seem clean. I would definitely be back when I come to the area. They are also worth just coming to the area for a great burger. Come check them out!

    Honesty is the best policy right? Well I found this on Yelp and it was rated high so since my wife and kids were bugging me to pick a place for my birthday dinner I chose here as it was fairly close for everyone to meet at and my family is kind of picky - usually meat or pizza...I'm more of an ethic flavor but hey it's not about me on my birthday right. Ok enough digression: Ambiance: Strip mall location but they had some outdoor seating that was in a nice shady area right in front of the parking area. Standard indoor basic set up - nothing to rave about. Service: Counter order and pick up as well but the counter staff was super friendly. Food: Average at best - I will say they cooked it perfectly medium rare but the quality of the meat and the amount / quality of blue cheese was not good. I ordered bacon on it as well but got no bacon. Same story for the other burgers. Fries were visibly in large plastic bags behind the register on a metal rack so originally I thought they were frozen but after dialogue with the owner they are hand cut from a fry cutter and definitely not frozen so I stand corrected. Price: For the price it lost its last star...can't rave about a place when your paying $13 avg. for a burger that for me and my family was not quite what we've had from other places (like bad daddy burger bar for comparison) but that's our opinion. Overall: Can't muster more than 3 stars - guys were nice but for the price not quite what we were expecting based on our experience. Keepmunching!!!!

    Chicken Tenders and Sweet Potato Fries

    We stopped in while waiting for service at a nearby car dealership. We split the five-piece chicken tenders for lunch and a side of sweet potato fries. The chicken was fantastic! Some of the best tenders I've ever had. Everything was prepared fresh and in clear view, which was great to see, too. The fries were excellent as well. We will have to make a trip back down to Franklin to enjoy this again. Highly recommended!

    Grounds restaurant is bomb. I had the chili cheese baked spud and the apple walnut salad. Both were delicious! The staff were so welcoming, polite and friendly. I wish I had visited more during my short stay in Tennessee.

    Pricing is good at $12 for burger and fries, but you get what you pay for. Average (old brown) ground meat, kinda dry burger and average fries, nothing special. Quantity of fries were good and burger toppings seemed fresh. Employees were friendly but I'll stick with 5 Guys or Shake Shack.

    While in Franklin Tennessee we were looking for a good down home burger place and we stumbled upon The Ground which is a staple in Franklin Tennessee. This location has been here for seven years with a sister location on West Main Street in Franklin. The locals love the Ground so much that they are opening up a third location in the very near future. I had the pleasure of meeting Wesson who does a little bit of everything at the Ground, he's been in the restaurant business for 16 years but loves the Ground, not only for their special seasoning blend that goes into thand handmade patties, but because they really care about the customers and the community. Ordering was simple, you can order from your phone with the QR code and you can specialize you order at the counter through touch screen computer. The burgers were juicy and tasty and the fries were great too.

    Ask the Community - Ground Restaurant

    Are you pet friendly outside eating?

    Yes

    Do you deliver? I called yesterday afternoon and the girl/woman that answered said you didn't deliver!

    Yes we sure do. We use Door Dash and Uber Eats for delivery.

    Are the fries cooked in peanut oil?

    No they are not. We try very hard to accommodate all guests with allergies. For that reason we chose to use soybean oil.

It has become a staple in our diet, especially paired with a cold beer.

This is a true Irish pub that pours a proper pint of Guinness and a smooth Smithwick's, along with a solid lineup of other beers. If you know, you know and they know how to pour it right. For an appetizer, I kicked things off with 10 "Almost Famous" Wings. Let me just say this clearly: the Nash-Hot wings are the BEST in Franklin. Crispy, flavorful, and bringing just enough heat to remind you that you're alive without requiring a fire extinguisher. For lunch, I went with a classic Irish go-to, the Fish & Chips. The fish had a light, crispy batter and was cooked just right. Flaky, tender, and not greasy. Exactly what you want. My wife ordered the Quinn's Classic Reuben, and it was stacked, melty, and equally impressive. The service is always top notch. Jeffrey, the owner, strolls around the dining room making everyone feel welcome and appreciated -- and that personal touch makes a difference. You can tell this isn't just a restaurant; it's a place people come to gather. And today, February 17th, 2026, congratulations to Jeffrey and Quinn's on celebrating 10 years! That's a big milestone and well deserved. Y'all are awesome. Here's to the next decade!

You won't have a problem carrying on a conversation. In fact, you could have each person of a party of four sit in opposite corners of the place and speak in a whisper, and still spill the tea. Crickets, and I can't explain why. As I mentioned, the food is good. Hearty and tasty. I got the make your own. A simple burger with bacon and avocado, and fries. Delicious. I can't explain why the hoards haven't found their way here. One possible explanation could be that there's a hippie restaurant, Flower Child, right next door. It was drawing pretty heavy on the foot traffic. Then there's the Shake Shack across the parking lot. It too seemed pretty popular. So what it probably comes down to is the old adage, location, location, location. My daughter seems to think that it's name recognition. She could be right. I don't get how Mooyah ties into burgers. Maybe "moo" as in cow? They do have shakes. Is that where the moo comes into play? It's a mystery. Give the Moo your business. You're going to like the food, and if you're a loner, you'll be in heaven. Quick Tip: Pass on the soda and get one of the mixed fruit drinks. They're quite refreshing, and because there's nobody there, your drink will be abundant and cold.
