    Country Boy Breakfast with a pancake added!
    Tiffany T.

    Overall Rating: Solid 4 Stars We surprised Dad with a birthday breakfast at Country Boy and had such a great experience overall, with just one surprise at the end! Parking: The parking can get a little crazy so be prepared! There are 2 parking spots that are right by the Country Boy entrance so if they are available I'd say grab them if you can. Otherwise, you may need to circle around or park a bit further away. Ambiance/Decor: The decor is very down home country, which I loved. It's cozy and welcoming with that authentic country vibe. If you're looking for a homestyle atmosphere, this is definitely the spot! Customer Service: The customer service was AMAZING! Our server was Lindsey and she was an absolute joy. She was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience so much better. If she's working, definitely ask for her section in the restaurant. Food: The food was so so good! My entire order was cooked to perfection. I ordered the Country Boy breakfast and added a pancake, and everything was delicious. The portions are generous and the quality was top tier. Overall: Country Boy was great and we really enjoyed our experience. However, there were two things that I did not like. First, we were given paper plates and plastic forks, which really downgraded the eating experience. For a sit-down restaurant, this felt cheap and took away from the otherwise great atmosphere. Second, we were charged 11% for a "preservation fee." This is something that should have been verbally communicated as it was a complete surprise and not appreciated. This is something that should have been verbally communicated as it was a complete surprise and not appreciated. Despite the unexpected fee, the amazing food and service make Country Boy worth a visit, but just be aware of that fee so that you're not surprised like we were. I hope this helps you decide on where to have breakfast while you're in Lieper's Fork, TN! Overall Rating: Solid 4 Stars

    My fiancée and I came to this restaurant last Saturday morning as part of our anniversary trip to Nashville. I saw this restaurant from a post on TikTok and I had to give this place a try. The service for this restaurant was quick and we didn't wait long. The food was absolutely delicious and was worth the drive. If we're ever in the area, we will eat at this restaurant again. :)

    We popped in here on our way to Franklin. Great little country restaurant. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendliest Lady who said 'come on in'. The food was great and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is cozy. It's the perfect place to eat if you are exploring Leipers Fork.

    We stopped by the Country Boy today and it is located in a really cute part of town surrounded by coffee shops, gift shops and the likes. It is street parking for the most part so come prepared for that. Our waitress, Sue, was SUCH a delight. Very personable and the service was very fast. I ordered the country fried steak, covered in gravy, with mashed potatoes and green beans and let me tell yall, that country fried steak was one of the best foods I've had in a long time. The potatoes were a little cold but they were still very good and most importantly, they were made of REAL potatoes, which I've learned isn't as common as one would think. The green beans also tasted delicious. My husband ordered a sausage and cheese omelette with toast and a side of grits. He was especially impressed with how delicious the sausage was inside the omelette and he LOVED the grits! Overall, this was a great experience and I think what especially made it great aside from the delicious food was Sues customer service. My husband is hard of hearing (he is a U.S. Marine who has been deployed numerous times and lost a good bit of hearing) and she said something that he didn't hear, and after mentioning he was hard of hearing, she didn't mind coming closer and stating it again, which we really appreciated because this is a common issue we experience and most times we just get met with a blank stare and then the waiters will just walk away. If you're in town and want some good food and a homey feel, this is the place. Check out the gift shops too in the area!

    Service and food was great! We came in the middle of the week during the day so there was no wait. The food was delicious and it is exactly what you would expect and hope for from a home cooking establishment.

    Visitors heading to Leipers Fork for a morning or afternoon of shopping, whiskey tasting, and breakfast or lunch should add their name to the wait list at The Country Boy, which moves swiftly as the efficient wait staff turn tables over fast and furious. The food is just what you'd want for a hearty country breakfast or lunch - with fluffy pancakes, mile-high biscuits and creative twists eggs bennie with fried green tomatoes and country ham. The staff is super fun and friendly, and the interior is laid back with a vintage vibe and decor. It's a classic locale - so don't miss it.

    Invisible Older Folks... I'm at a loss for starting this review. My wife and I had looked forward to eating here since we had recently heard and seen encouraging reviews. (We've only visited once before many years ago.) This morning we were pleased to find a parking spot almost directly in front of the restaurant. And, that's where the good news ends. There was one customer seated at counter and three tables of couples in an otherwise empty restaurant at 9:15 on a Monday. We were greeted as soon as we entered and given our choice of table. (We chose one off to the side near the bathrooms, away from the front windows.) We sat down and our greeter returned to her station at the counter. Our visit literally ends at this point. We looked at the menus; discussed options between ourselves....and waited. And waited. And waited. NO one returned to our table although one employee passed by and smiled on his way to (?) downstairs. Another passed by on her way to the restrooms... looking at her phone. We saw one server clear a table nearby, but she did not look our way. We watched as another server speak to the folks next to us....but once again, she did not turn our way nor speak to us....as we looked on, tapping fingers (?). Finally a group of 6 young, lively (not rude) men came in and were seated adjacent to us and (immediately) were asked if they wanted water or coffee. I was about to ask the server if we could have water or something....but she scurried away before I could utter a sound. Stunned! We decided (now 15 minutes after we entered) to leave. As we departed, I turned to the 3 wait staff standing and chatting by the counter and said, "It might have been nice to be offered water or coffee when we came in."....(no response)....so I continued, "we will not be back." (NO response.) Courtesy? Respect? Customer Service? Not today. Not the way to start the day or to encourage favorable reviews. (Funny: a little later, since I had "Checked in" and posted an interior shot, Yelp sent a note asking me to post more photos of our food.... lol ... )

    Boy the line can sure be long here. Pretty basic breakfast offerings. My sausages were dry and barely warm. I don't favor being served with to go food plates and utensils.

    I stopped in here on our day trip to LF and didn't quite know what to expect. I ordered a fried bologna sandwich because why not? Seemed like a fun local thing to try. It was remarkably good! Lots of cheese and soft bread I mean come on!! What's not to love. Service was quick and super polite. Inside is a cute diner vibe. It was a great lunch!!

If you're in the mood for spice, try the hot chicken sandwich. The burgers were also well liked by our table.

    Very nice restaurant!…read more We had reservations at 7:45, checked in early and were seated on arrival. Upon entering the restaurant it seemed swamped but the staff was well prepared for the guests. Our server, was amazing! (I'm ashamed we didn't remember his name, Paul maybe). Nonetheless, he knew the menu, the specials, the drinks, and suggestions! We loved each and everyone of the suggestions and choices we made. Our dining experience started with the signature old fashion followed by a bottle of Heitz Cellars Cabernet! We ordered the lamb and brisket buns. Both were savory, delicious and well prepared. Followed by their Sushi Roll. It was described as "if you love sushi, you've never had anything like this." (I've had a ton of Sushi all over the world, and this was a spectacular Hamachi Roll.) we rounded out our meal with the Butternut Burrata and bread basket and a Beef Tenderloin. It was cooked to perfection and able to be cut with a fork. (I am salivating thinking about how perfectly it was prepared.) Just when we thought it couldn't be any better our server suggested we look at the dessert menu. He tempted me with a blood orange sorbet followed by a peanut butter chocolate pie. AMAZING! The fun thing was, I consumed the Heitz Cabernet throughout my entire meal - all the way through dessert. My high remarks to the chef and the staff because this team knows how to please and perform flawlessly!

    This was our "splurge" dinner on a trip to Franklin, TN. My friend we were visiting had been before…read moreand had raved about it, but even she agreed this visit just wasn't up to snuff. The place is beautiful, but we were seated in the least interesting area. My friend said it used to be an open patio and was renovated for more indoor seating, which makes sense, but it lacked any real atmosphere. When I am spending this kind of money I want a slow, leisurly pace, and this felt rushed. Yes, we probably could have asked the waiter to slow things down, but we didn't. I ordered a specialty cocktail - the Midnight Sun that was delish - it was layered and around $16. The waiter then brought out what ended up being the highlight of the meal, a little treat from the chef. It was a creamy gnocchi dish to share, about three pieces each, super rich and honestly I could have eaten 20 more. We also spilt the bread flight. The bread was good but I wasn't a fan of the spreads, I'm a BUTTER person, these were more like bean spreads. The brussels sprouts with pork were also really good. Hubby and I split a mixed green salad that was pretty mediocre, and the croutons were almost too hard to chew. Then came the pork, which was a dissapointment. It was so tough it actually got caught in my throat a couple times despite chewing it well. We didn't even finish it. For the price, it should have been tender and full of flavor, and it was neither. My friend ordered the duck pasta and said it had "weird pieces of meat" in it. Her husband got the filet and loved it, so at least someone at the table was happy. We skipped dessert after most of us had disappointing entrees. I guess the good news is they rotate the menu every few months, so maybe it would be a totally different experience next time.

This spot was busy, even around 11am on a weekday! The staff was hustling to get through the line and we didn't wait long to order. The employees here were friendly and welcoming. We chose to take our food home, but there are tables if you prefer to dine in. Normally, I'd be a little worried about food safety with a cafeteria line. This spot is so busy and fresh food was constantly being put out on the line. It didn't look like any of the food was sitting for long. The meats and sides rotate by the day. The offerings by day are listed on their website. Plates can be ordered as meat only or meat plus one, two, or three sides. Veggies plates are an option. They even have a family meal option. Cobblers and pies are available for dessert. I would rate the food quality and taste at 3/5. The portions are generous for the price which is why I bumped to a 4/5. It's decent enough for a large, cheap meal. The Fried Chicken was good. It's not the best I've had, but good if you want something quick. The Chicken and Dumplings was good, a little on the soupier side. The sides were my favorite part. The Carrot Soufflé was my favorite with a sugary topping. The Squash Casserole had a nice taste. The Mashed Potatoes were creamy and buttery. The Green Beans had a nice texture and taste. Nothing here is going to be heavily seasoned, just simple flavors. The Pecan Pie was really good. I liked the crust and the flavor of the filling. The Banana Pudding was good, but not the best we've had. This is one of the few spots you'll still be able to get inexpensive takeout. A basic meal without breaking the bank!

    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.
