From the moment you pull up, it's pure country charm -- the rustic copper-toned trailer with its cute wreaths, string lights, and "The Steel Pony" signage instantly makes you smile. It feels like stepping into a storybook scene surrounded by beautiful farmland. The menu is fantastic! We grabbed some delicious coffee drinks that were perfectly crafted and full of rich flavor. They also offer specialized lemonades and other refreshing, sweet soda options that are perfect for a warm day. Everything tasted fresh and high-quality -- you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The service was just as wonderful. A sweet teenage girl helped us with the friendliest smile and great recommendations. She made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming, like visiting a neighbor rather than just grabbing a drink. After ordering, we settled into the relaxing chairs nearby, sipped our drinks, and just soaked in the peaceful views of the rolling fields and greenery. It's the perfect spot to unwind, chat, or simply enjoy a quiet moment in nature. If you're anywhere near Leiper's Fork, do yourself a favor and stop by The Steel Pony. Unique, delicious, and utterly charming -- we'll definitely be back! Highly recommend for coffee lovers and anyone looking for a lovely little escape.

Stopped into Hogwood BBQ in Franklin for dinner after a long, exhausting day and it absolutely hit…read morethe spot. I went with the Hogwood Sampler which comes with chicken, sausage, ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, plus mac-n-cheese on the side. All in it was $27.89 plus tax, which feels like pretty fair market value for the amount and quality of food you're getting. The food itself was incredible. Way too many barbecue places lean way too hard on sauce to do the heavy lifting. That is not the case here. Every single meat had deep, legit smoky flavor on its own and honestly didn't even need sauce. That said, the sauces were also excellent. The Alabama white paired perfectly with the chicken, and the spicy tomato-based red sauce had a great kick without overpowering anything. Drink selection was another pleasant surprise. They've got Coke products and Tractor Organic Beverages. I mixed their unsweet tea with the Tractor mango and made myself a mango tea that worked way better than it had any right to. If I had to nitpick, the side selection is a little limited for my personal taste. I'm always hoping for fries or hush puppies, though to be fair that's not uncommon for BBQ joints around here. I also ran into a sticky spot on the table that clearly hadn't been fully wiped down from a previous guest. That said, the food was good enough that it still lands as a five-star experience for me. Hogwood BBQ is an excellent choice if you're looking for seriously good barbecue in Franklin.

Wanted to love. Hoped I'd love it. I didn't love it. Actually, I didn't even like it…read more Went in hungry around 2:00. It's a counter service joint; you walk up, order, and then someone runs the food to your table. First off, they asked for a point of service tip; that bugs me when I'm ordering my own food at the counter and fetching my own drinks. The menu is fairly standard for a southern BBA joint; brisket, pulled pork, ribs, turkey, chicken. I am generally suspicious of any place that offers chopped brisket. Brisket is meant to be sliced and enjoyed as a slab of meat, not as a pile of hash. So, the chopped brisket sandwich was out for me. I asked if the brisket platter would be served as slices, and they assured me it was, so I ordered brisket with two sides. They recommended the beans and the Mac 'n cheese, so that's what I went with. They also asked me if I wanted the meat lean, marbled, or half and half; I took that as a good sign, and asked for marbled. They food came out in about 5 mins; just enough time for me to head to the soda fountain and fill my own cup. Maybe they should tip me? On the plus side, the portions were pretty large. I'm guessing that the served at least 6-8 ounces of brisket, and the individual sides were pretty large as well. On the other hand, whoever sliced the brisket simply didn't know what they were doing. They sliced it WITH the grain, producing slices full of stringy meat. Stringy meat that was hard to cut with the plastic cutlery provided. I find it hard to believe that anyone who regularly serves BBQ brisket doesn't know to cut the meat against the grain. The meat appeared to feature a nice bark; however, on further exploration, a) the bark was so tough that it couldn't be cut as all with the plastic cutlery, and b) when I tore into it with my fingers and ate a piece, it had no taste. Not even a basic Texas salt and pepper rub could be detected. A large portion of tasteless, poorly cut meat does no one any favors. The beans were a little underdone; IMHO, that's far better than mushy, overcooked beans. However, they, too, had no flavor. No spice, nada. The mac and cheese was shells in a white cheese sauce. Strike 3; zero flavor for the sauce. I don't know how you can make cheese sauce without flavor, but they managed to do so. I have never, ever thrown as much food away at a a BBQ joint than I did today. What a shame. Not recommended, not even a little bit. Try Martin's or Edley's; if you prefer a chain, Mission BBQ will do you much better than Hogwood.

I tried to order and the employee just grunted at me the entire time, and tried his best to be the most rude person in the world. Pretty darn close! They overcharged me based on the signage out front. Then the guy making my food handed it to me. I said thank you, trying to salvage the experience, and he straight up ignored me!! Then, I sit down to eat, and ALL OF IT is ICE COLD. Cold pork, I don't think so. Fries that were cooked hours ago - I'm not eating that.

I had seen this truck by the road in a relatively nondescript parking lot once before. Today I made a sudden decision just before I passed it to stop and see for myself. Very friendly service and pretty darn prompt. (There were one or two other customers, but they were not crowded by any means. SO that could account for the swiftness.) As I mentioned at the outset, the food had full, rich flavors. Both chicken and pork were very tender. Nicely grilled hot pepper garnish along with grilled onions. The big drawback was the greasiness...(you can see evidence in one of the photos I posted.) The tortillas just could not hold up so we ended up eating them with forks instead of fingers. Spiciness - really just right - not hot, just beautifully seasoned. Impulse SGG - stop, grab, and go? This one worked well for us.

Located just inside one of the "side" entrances to The Factory, Daddy's Dogs was a great place to…read moregrab lunch today. It provided a cool and refreshing place to have lunch inside on an extremely sweltering day outside. Ordering from their relatively limited menu was easy and convenient. Seating, on the other hand was - well, not problematic, but very limited because there are only about eight seats at the service counter. Fortunately, most of the seats were empty. Some of the dogs are the menu have a creative flare, and some are relatively traditional, such as the Chicago dog. The Chicago dog, my wife's favorite of any hotdog joint did not quite live up to her standards, but was still good. It combined a large beef hotdog covered with the traditional CD condiments, served on a slightly toasted bun. (Alas, not poppyseed). I chose the new "Hot Daddy"... another one of their long (perhaps 8 inches) all beef dogs served on a lightly toasted bun. This dog was topped with a tangy slice of dill pickle, housemates slaw, and then drizzled with a version of Nashville hot sauce, and ranch dressing. It turned out to be a delicious combination. The Nashville hot was not too hot, and provided a nice contrast with the creamy slaw and ranch dressing. I will come back in a flash for another one. Did not try any of the few sides they serve but observed other diners doing so and the Tots look just great. FYI ... generous portions all around!

I am a midwesterner who loves a good chili dog, this was really beautifully presented, flavorful chili, abundant enough with cheese and sour cream, and just the right amount of onions, the hot dog itself seemed really good quality meat, but it was all lacking in temperature - was barely hot which made it less appetizing. There was only one person working, so it took a while to get my order placed. I was really icked when she laid my plastic silverware down on the dirty unwiped bar. While I was eating next to someone who was ahead of me, the server was very clearly not wanting to be working - hiding out on her phone behind the wall, using her phone to text with gloves on then preparing the food in the same gloves, several customers gave up and walked away when no one came to the register, and at the end she just walked away completely and left it unattended. I want to assume grace, maybe just an off day, but could easily be improved by having at least two staff working. Overall, this spot could improve their customer service and ensure their food is hot enough to be serving and probably would be a 5 star experience.
