Jonathan's Grille was a great spot overall, with a fun atmosphere and solid menu options. Everything we tried was good, but the real standout was the pretzel appetizer. It was by far the winner--super light, fluffy, and perfectly done. Honestly one of the best pretzels I've had. Definitely worth ordering when you go! On top of that, our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal, which really added to the experience. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu. read more

Absolutely not. I've been sitting on this review for a few weeks and it's been eating me up but I have to say it. I went in on a weekday lunch and sat at the bar. Ordered a glass of wine and a pizza. Ate a few slices - food tasted fine - and got a box. I'm sitting there playing a game on my phone and suddenly the largest cockroach I've ever seen in my life comes walking across the bar where I'm sitting. I silently panic and jump from my seat. Randomly the manager happened to be right in front of me (she was in the bar pit) and saw me freak out and then she smooshed the roach. The people next to me were mortified, I was so disgusted I didn't know what to do but also, I didn't want a bunch of attention on me so I stayed quiet. The manager who smooshed the roach just walked away, didn't say a word to me. No one came and offered to clean the bar top where I was sitting, nothing... she said nothing. Eventually, I ask for my check and the same manager came and said "we took care of your pizza" and that was it. So I paid my bill and left The bartenders were mortified and one came up to me after and offered her apology. I was shocked by the lack of care and professionalism by the manager and I will never be back read more

We always have the best time on the patio at Jonathan's! The servers are super friendly and love our little corgi who always goes with us. The food is fresh and fast! Extensive lunch options! read more

I am a fan of most Jonathan's location, this one included which is situated near Cool Spring Galleria in front of a Hampton Inn. It has all your standard Jonathan's Grille vibes from the entry way to the bar area, dining room and covered patio. I have been to this location for lunch and more recently dinner. They are always consistent across the brand, which is nice as I know what to expect no matter which spot I pop into. This consistency encompasses not only the restaurant layout, but food as well as service. Jonathan's menu seems to be ever expanding with the "new" tags popping up on a variety of items each year. Not sure if they are trying to compete with the nearby Cheesecake Factory, but they are headed in that direction! I mean, variety is good, so I am not mad at it. I have my go-to's and favorites, no matter how much the menu expands. Speaking of those "new" items plus my favorites...We started our evening with the classic Crispy Brussel Sprouts and Southwest Eggrolls. Both tasty and a great kick off to the meal. I then went with the new Little Broken Wedge salad, which is a variation of the classic salad presented with the wedge already cut. It did make it easier to eat and manage, so I can dig it. For my main I went with the classic 10 piece Cajun wings and blue cheese. Wings were decent, could have used a bit more seasoning and I forgot I was not a fan of their blue cheese as it is very thin and lacks that tang and thickness I enjoy. With that being said, the food was solid, no major complaints. Oh, and while I did not get it tonight, the Chipotle Chicken Flatbread is always *chefs kiss* Parking at this location can get tricky pretty quick. What seems like a big lot gets full very quick. Normally you would think overflow in the neighboring hotel lot, however be careful as they frown upon that. If really needed, you can find spots at nearby Cool Springs Galleria and walk over. Overall, I am a fan of Jonathan's Grille. Consistency, solid food, fair prices, good portions and friendly service! read more

I stayed in a nearby hotel and after a day of traveling, Jonathan's was a good walkable option. I think the 3.6 stars is accurate. It's a good place for apps, burgers, pizza, etc. it was priced right. Plenty of seating and on a week night, it was pretty full. If you're looking for some bar food, this is a good option. read more

I have reviewed Jonathan's before but as I branch out & try new things on the menu I definitely have to keep sharing because sharing is caring... . You MUST try the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl & the Firecracker Salmon Bowl!! It is so delish & dances in your mouth! Be sure to wash it down with a crisp, cold glass of Pinot Grigio! Wayne, Macey, Jax & Heidi best bartenders in Middle TN. No wonder it is my favorite spot! read more

Jonathan's Grille - Firecracker Salmon Bowl. Go get u some! - American Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

I don't know what happened to this place - maybe Cisco foods- I don't know ... anyhow we ordered take out for Mother's Day 3 meals totaling $70. 1st meal -the burger was ok the sweet potato fries were hard dry and garbage - 2nd meal Santa Fe chicken - dry bland fries also terrible were soggy and tasteless . 3rd meal fish n chips ( this one was really bad as 8 yrs ago I sat in this restaurant enjoying the best fish n chips ) the fish was skinny little strips maybe 3 inches long ( 4 of them) and soggy disgusting fries for $18 the only redeemable feature was the salad was mid. This is awful , for Mother's Day we gardened all day then decoded on takeout from this place that was so good only to blow $70 on food that was less that fast food ! So mad n disgusted ! read more

Best place for it all. Drink specials are second to none. Food is great. Always great service.

I want to start by saying the food was very good! I thought it was over priced but that is ok. Servicer also great. BUT the check comes and a 3% "HOSPITALITY FEE" was added to the check. When i asked about the fee she said 'it goes to the owners to upkeep the building." REALLY??!! That is the price of doing business...I WILL NOT BE BACK. read more

First time visit to the Franklin Jonathan's Grille location. Attentive service. As part of a group lunch, enjoyed Teriyaki Chicken and especially tasty was the blackened Salmon & Spinach Salad. Washed down with the draught house lager, also very good...and would order again. We were in a private room suitable for groups. Family friendly. Popular happy hour specials. Two gripes: * The credit card surcharge, something new and should just go away. Wastes people's time handling cash. * Floors need a thorough cleaning. Stickiness detracts from dining experience. read more

very good food selections; friendly and attentive service; tastes great;REALLY REALLY noisy!

In the past, I would have given them 4 stars if not 5. The food has always been reliable and good. We've been several times and not noticed it until someone commented on a post about the location coming to Brentwood. They are adding a 3% hospitality charge - no notice. It just shows up regardless of how you pay. It is not a credit card fee, we asked. Because at other places that let you know about the credit card fee, we pay cash. So we asked and they said that no, it was a hospitality charge and not related to how you pay it. And there is no sign, no note on the menu, nothing. So we now realize that we must have missed it the last few times we have been in there. I am tired of add on fees especially ones you are not told about upfront. Be upfront and transparent. Also, the fish and chips was off last night - not sure if that was just a hiccup or not. The pieces of fish were smaller than they have always been, it was overly salty and greasy. They have it listed that you can add chicken or salmon to any salad but no price for doing so and our server couldn't tell us how much it was for sure, $6 or maybe $8. Never offered to verify. Finally said it was $8 to add chicken so chances are, the salmon was more than $8. It's a shame that all of our old standbys are starting to cut portion sizes, raise prices, tag on add on fees without warning or with no explanation. read more

We walked over from our hotel just to have a quick dinner and watch part of a football game. We were seated quickly on a busy Saturday night and had a very attentive server. Our food was way better than expected and we left stuffed and happy. For it being a sports bar type of place I was happy that it wasn't overly loud and you could still carry on a normal conversation while a huge playoff game was going on. It's a great place. read more

Jonathan's Grille - Caribbean chicken. Tender juicy and the pineapples topped it off. The veggies were seasoned to perfection and were so good. - American Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Food Was absolutely delicious. Was there around midnight, so it was the late night menu and the kitchen was still getting it done. That Thai Crunch Chicken Wrap was something special. The picture at the restaurant did not do it justice so I took another when the sun was out to try and capture the amount of fresh ingredients used. Fries were fried well, crisp on outside and soft inside and had just enough seasoning. Ambiance The Franklin location wasn't too rowdy outside of one group lol. It was all good vibes, though. read more

Stopped by after a day of traveling due to convenience of location next to hotel. Inside is typical sports bar. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Food was tasty and decent priced. If you're from central IL-they even have a horse shoe. Nothing fancy but better than your normal chain read more

This was recommended to me by the hotel I was staying at. We came after being at cheer competition all day. I ordered the Bison burger which was extremely bland. They couldn't have seasoned it even with mayo, pickles, lettuce, tomato and bbq sauce it didn't have any favor. My mom had the broccoli cheddar soup and it also didn't have any favor. My youngest had the pizza with pepperoni- she didn't complain but also only ate half of it. The best thing the table had was the cookie skillet. Not sure I would visit again. read more

Courtney is honestly super nice. We had a bad impression of this location until speaking with Courtney. The inside has a lot of TVs definitely a sports bar. When we were there, it was very chaotic however we were in town for national pageant, so I am sure a lot of people were there from that as it was very close to the Pageant location. I will say we did not have to wait to be seated, but service was not wonderful read more

Bartenders were fantastic. Hostesses were not very helpful when bar was full. I ordered the sirloin steak and loaded potato. The potato only came with butter and sour cream. The steak was cooked perfectly, but it was a very poor cut of meat. I would definitely not order a steak here. Only get sandwiches or apps. Flatbreads and pizzas looked good. I would eat here again but only expect average sports bar quality. Do not get a steak here. read more

One thing about Jonathan's Grille, two things fasho - they will always see me! I love them so much. Late night eats, brunch, casual lunch and dinner - you name it. The vibes are immaculate. The bam bam egg rolls, spinach dip, and wings are my fave lil combo but I'll try anything on the menu!!! read more

This bar has real potential! The Bartenders are amazing! I have a real issue with the tolerance of the smoking. If you are sitting in the bar anywhere near the door to the bar patio it's like sitting in an ashtray. It makes it unpleasant and difficult to enjoy a meal. Something really needs to be done about this awful smell. It's awful and disgusting! read more

IMPORTANT - I am guessing this I going to be popping up everywhere but Jonathans now charges you 3% if you use your credit card to pay your bill. TAKE CASH. Idk but we at least tipped in cash because heck maybe they will add another 3% onto the tip as a cc fee too. Showed up on a Saturday about 6pm... Parking lot looks full and restaurant seemed full too but we were seated quickly. There are TVs everywhere. It happened to be UFC night which is my last favorite especially while eating. I was craving wings! Boneless wings. We got hot and medium (5 for $9 of one flavor, and $9 more dollars if you want 5 of a different flavor, 10 of the same flavor I believe was $14). Some of the bites didn't taste like normal chicken and definitely not the boneless wings I was craving. Fries were mediocre and same with the coleslaw. Our table was wobbly and overall I wasn't very impressed. At least our waitress was super nice and efficient! Not sure if we will be back, but if so, not for the boneless wings. read more

The food is amazing! The 3 stars is because of service. We've been here a few times and each time the servers are either overwhelmed with too many tables and as a result the service is not good or they are chillin and not taking care of the tables they have. I hope management starts making the improvements that are needed for service to improve. read more

Service was rushed and inattentive. We ordered egg rolls as a starter, and our entrees arrived just a few seconds later. So our entrees got cold, while we started on our appetizer. They practice a tag team approach, so our waitress wasn't the one to deliver our food. There apparently is no communication between the waitress and the kitchen. The kitchen is simply cranking out the food without regards to any timing. Our waitress later came by and dropped off our bill, without inquiring if we wanted more iced tea, more food, dessert or coffee. Very disappointed in the level of service and poor staff training. Oh, did I mention they add 3% to your bill if you want to use a credit card? Instead, how about cash discount? read more

We came here with six including two kids and had a great meal. Our server was on top of everything, kept our drinks all full, and our meals were all fresh and delicious.

The two roast beef sandwiches were a standout as were the onion rings. read more

I've been a long time frequent patron at Jonathan's and it's pretty solid, the service is good and fast! They are often busy during games and happy hour so finding a parking spot can be a challenge. As far as food they have several food items that you can't go wrong . My favorite time to dine here is on Tuesday for buy one get one free pizza, which is pretty tasty. They as have different happy hour specials each day and Who does love a good happy hour!!!! Overall, it's pretty great service, it can become loud but family friendly. My only grips are the sticky floors, from maybe spills and not cleaning up immediately. And a FYI if your one who doesn't like to pay service charges bring cash, because when you use your card they charge an extra 3%, iI didn't really pay attention until I heard a table complain. Definitely recommend! read more

Food is better than most "bar food"; service is usually good. It's quite loud inside so not the place for conversation. Plenty of TVs for sports. They have a 3% "hospitality fee" for using cards which is actually pure profit for the owners. This isn't a mom-n-pop joint that really can't afford the transaction fees; it's a fairly big local chain. We go less often because of this, but it's convenient and good. read more

Most excellent service. I adore the Horseshoe my husband tried chicken Avacado sandwich with the cranberry toast. He was unsure about the toast but it did not disappoint. It was a hit! This is a great menu, great options that are different than most restaurants. It's truly a favorite restaurant for us. Thus far, all locations are equally great! read more

Got the steak fajitas was surprised it didn't come with guacamole?? Bartenders were very nice gets busy if u don't show up early

Great service on a packed thursday game night. Got in right away, lots of TVs, and attentive waitress. We got the brussel app and a Cajun pepperoni cauliflower pizza. I really enjoy the cauli crust they use as I tried it at a different location, nudging me to get it at this one. Pizza was good. Brussels weren't as good as the last time I had them at the Germantown location, but they're still enjoyable. Partner got a few beers and we left satisfied. read more

We sat at the bar very attentive service by all the bartenders All extremely friendly, I wish I would have gotten the name of one of the female bartenders she had the most beautiful smile and just so upbeat The food was beyond perfect, I had the egg rolls just so tasty and plentiful my husband had the dry rub Cajun wings which were tender full of meat We will be sure to return when back in area Thank you for both service and food read more

We had lunch with my father in law this past weekend while in town visiting. We arrived around 1pm and ordered several entrees. I went with melodys french dip with fries. The French dip was good and I enjoyed the au jus. The fries were alright, I wish they had a little more flavor. My husband loved the flatbread he ordered. The 12" inch pizza was loaded with toppings. Our server was very friendly and the food came out quickly. There are plenty of TVs on to watch games. read more
