    Live, love this place. I have tried something new the 4 times I have been here and am never disappointed! The carne asada street tacos are my favorite, but I will try their pizza next time because, omg, I watched one being made and it had my name on it. The food is fresh and well seasoned, so tasty and made to order. Staff is great and attentive. Tamales, burritos huge and delish. My favorite 'Mexican' hands down. Try it, you will not regret it!

    Went on a Saturday night around 7:20pm. It was very busy. When we ordered they told us our wait would be about 20-30 mins. We received our food at about 7:50pm. The tables were dirty and the trash was overly full. There were several take out orders being picked up while we waited. They close at 8pm. Our carne asada tacos were delicious! I didn't love the chips and salsa. My daughter said the beans were a bit watery & the rice wasn't very fluffy/soft. We weren't sure if it is typically like that or if it was an off night. It seemed like they didn't have enough people working which was causing the long wait. If the wait wouldn't have been so long & if the tables/inside had been clean I would have given it a 4

    Amazing tacos in Franklin/Cool Springs!

    Wow! Great street tacos in Franklin/Cool Springs!!! Stopped in for lunch and so glad we did! Their chips and salsa are good! It's a chunky salsa that's mild. If you like spice - their table red and green salsa is amazing! Quesobirria tacos are a must! Generous portion and that consume could be eaten on its own. It's so good! We tried the Carne Asada, Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos and all were delicious! Each taco was filled with a generous portion of meat and topped with fresh cilantro and onions! They corn tortillas the use are really good and remind me tacos back in LA! A must if you like Mexican street food!

    I saw this place on Yelp and my wife wanted to go. The food on my end was really good. My wife didn't like the steak street taco. She said it wasn't seasoned correctly. My quesobirria tacos were pretty decent. Along with good customer service and a decent vibe, this place isn't bad at all!

    Yummy Birria tacos! On their advice, we ordered the Birria tacos and I'm so happy I did! They were delicious and I had to get a box to take home leftovers that didn't last long because I started craving the yummy flavor again with a couple of hours We will be back to try more items on the menu!

    5 Stars! The food was delicious! I enjoyed both items that was purchased. I loved how they crisped the burrito which gave it a Baja feel to the food. I also appreciated the amount of meat that was in both items (burrito and the birria pizza). Both items were well seasoned and full of taste! The staff was kind! We came in at a rush hour and I could tell that the workers were being efficient with getting orders out as quickly as possible. The ambiance was a beach feel. I would be interested to see if they lean into this feel! Since this is newly opened, I can tell that they are still working at getting the interior together with decorations and personalizations to The Taco Shop. Overall, very yummy food with great service and a place to enjoy it! I would recommend and I am definitely going to be a regular here.

    Quesabirria Tacos

    We just tried The Taco Shop in Franklin and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Quesabirria Tacos, and they were incredible--crispy, cheesy, and loaded with perfectly seasoned shredded beef. The rich beef consommé for dipping was divine and took them over the top. Honestly, some of the best tacos in Williamson County. We also had the shrimp taco with cabbage and chipotle mayo, plus a street taco with beef, onions, and cilantro, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The portions were generous too--I could only eat one of my quesabirria tacos, so my husband gets the other two for dinner tonight! Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5

The food has consistently been good, and I've always loved the unique atmosphere and pizza combinations you can't really get anywhere else. That being said, the experience has definitely changed over the years. While the location is technically in a great area of Franklin, the parking situation has become an absolute nightmare as the city continues to grow. It's honestly getting harder and harder to enjoy going there because of the traffic and lack of parking nearby. I also feel like the customer service has gone downhill recently. I used to have much friendlier experiences there, but the last few times I've visited, the staff seemed less welcoming and the overall atmosphere just felt off compared to what it used to be. I still enjoy Mellow Mushroom and will always have nostalgia for it, but I definitely think there are areas that could improve to bring back the experience people used to love.

    I always look forward to eating at Mellow Mushroom. Their pizzas are unique and tastes like no…read moreother pizza ive had. Their crust has a maple (I think) crust that makes it a little sweet and chewy. A couple of my favorites are Cosmic Karma and Holy Shitake. Previously they had a rib eye pizza with caramelized onions and peppers which was amazing. I do hope they bring this back at some point. It was a fun routine to always come to Mellow Mushroom after the Franklin Art Crawl. Sadly the last couple of times we went to the art crawl (due to no longer serving wine) that fun populated vibe of the art crawl has gone away. There were so few people last time at the art walk it felt abandoned so we left early and enjoyed the rest of the night eating delicious pizza at Mellow Mushroom. I recommend Mellow Mushroom to anyone that wants the best pizza in the area.

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!

On my first trip, I had the chance to meet the owners, David and Amanda, and was immediately impressed by their passion for what they're building in the community. You can tell this place isn't just a restaurant--it's a labor of love. The sourdough crust absolutely blew me away. It has that perfect balance of crisp on the outside and soft, flavorful chew on the inside. You can taste the difference. The ingredients are fresh, the flavor combinations are dialed in, and every bite feels intentional. On my second visit, I brought one of the crews I work with--and let's just say it was a hit. We ordered plenty and still walked away with leftovers. Even better? The pizza was just as good reheated the next day (which says a lot about quality). Beyond the food, the ambiance makes you want to stick around. It has that welcoming, community-focused vibe that only true local ownership can create. David and Amanda have built something special here, and Thompson's Station is better for it. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.
