    Delightfully delicious (kinda) hidden gem. Friendly and helpful staff. Lunch - they got it covered: Soups, Sandwiches, (maybe make it a combo) - eat in at one of the "family friendly" tables and get to know your neighbors. Or, take it with you to heat and eat tonight (the "Take Away" menu is pretty impressive.) Then there's the über-quality meats, some dry aged, others just tantalizingly inviting. (I was just browsing those today.) The tomahawk steaks were awesome....and I want some for my next grill session ... and ... yes, I'd love to take home one of the beautiful smoker grills they have on display. Too short a visit for so many good-looking offerings.

    Omg!!! This place is amazing. My husband and I are big steak people...we went here today to buy two bone in Ribeye and it was the best steak I have cooked at home. Great value for the size of meat we purchased. Can't wait to go back!!!! Also it is nice to do business with great people...we literally walked in right when they had closed and they allowed us to come in to make our purchase!!!!

    This place is legit!!! They have an incredible selection to choose from and are super knowledgeable and helpful. Their dry aged cabinet is a piece of heaven. This is by far my favorite butcher in middle TN! Tonight we're having the tomahawks and I cannot wait!

    I wanted to love this place, I really did. Unfortunately the sandwiches we had were incredibly mediocre. We didn't get any take home meat, we just stopped by for lunch so maybe that's why. I could have made my sandwich at home and it hardly had any meat in it. I have been looking for great deli sandwiches like we had in the north and haven't found it in Nashville yet. Also no soup on Sundays so don't expect it. Maybe I'd try for take home meat cause I love to support a local business, but I won't be back for just a sandwich.

    If you want good quality meats shop here. If you want friendly customer service, go somewhere else. They don't wear masks either.

The quality of everything they sell is top-notch, and it's become one of my favorite local spots for fresh meat. But this visit, I have to talk about the blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Wow. It was one of those desserts that makes you stop talking after the first bite. The cobbler was warm, packed with sweet blueberries, and had the perfect buttery, crumbly topping. Paired with the cold, creamy vanilla ice cream melting into it, it was absolutely incredible. I honestly wasn't expecting to find one of my favorite desserts at a butcher shop, but here we are! The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions or make recommendations. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their products and the experience they provide. It's rare that I update a review, but this place earned it. Between the outstanding meats, excellent customer service, and now one of the best blueberry cobblers I've had, Light Hill Meats keeps giving me reasons to come back. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor--grab some meat for dinner and don't leave without trying the blueberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream. You can thank me later!

    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.

    Still a solid place for tasty, casual BBQ. The food is flavorful and fresh. Service was very slow…read moreon this particular visit. The chocolate cake had dry cake and grainy icing, so I feel it is overpriced at almost $6 a slice.

    I really love this place. Now, it is very low frills, street kind of Mexican food. It reminds me of…read morethe little carnicerias I ate at when I was in Mexico for work. The place is actually a Mercado. Half of the building it more like a Hispanic 7-11. At the back is a meat market with various cooked meats (carnitas, barbacoa, etc.) that you can have on tortas (sandwiches) or tacos. There is also a salsa bar, with around 6 different salsas, cilantro, limes, and onions. If you want something to drink, you grab from the cooler and you pay for your meal(s) when you leave. This is an authentic central Mexican style joint. The first time I was there, the carnitas were a bit dry, but everything has been on point since then. I love the variety of salsas, although my friend felt every one was a bit too spicy (wimp?). If you do not speak Spanish, it is very possible you and the cashier will be the only ones that speaks English.

We were greeted right away by the owner and seated in a comfortable booth in the back. The space offers a nice mix of tables, booths, and bar seating. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the start. After we ordered, she brought out a basket of biscuits, three for the two of us, which was a bit curious, but no complaints here. The second basket came soon after the first. They were light, slightly sweet, and really good. For my entrée, I went with the Louisiana Bayou Shrimp with Crawfish with a side of corn. Wow, great flavor with just the right amount of kick, and they didn't skimp on the shrimp or crawfish. Portion size was spot on. My wife kept it a bit more traditional with the Southern Fried Chicken Salad, which was fresh and very well done. Safe to say, we won't wait another 30 years to come back. I've already got my eye on the blueberry cobbler next time. If you live in Franklin, don't make the same mistake we did, give this place a try sooner rather than later. Cheers!
