by far the best food i’ve ever had and my server was absolutely amazing. I wish i could remember his name but my food was about $100 and i gave him a $50 tip and he deserves every bit of it, because he fully made mine and my girlfriends experience. overall the best restaurant experience i’ve ever had.

The place is small, the food was okay, and we felt like we were dining with the people next to us. 3 stars mainly for the value of the food for what you pay and the atmosphere. The 2 potatoes on the plate are such an eye sore. If anyone in the restaurant orders seafood as the room is quite small, the entire room will smell like someone just microwaved fish in the break room at work. The server was super friendly, but I wouldn’t go back.

Amazing as usual! Betsy Ross cocktail is fab, Fontina Crepe was a delightful start to the meal. Thai Curry Lobster Soup was wonderful, all of the savory, sweet, spicy flavor you would expect. Dry aged NY strips and Manchego Risotto were also great. Also enjoyed the Chocolate Cake and Pear Crisp for dessert. Love the seasonal menu changes at Cork & Cow!

We dined here for my husband’s birthday. We had a wonderful server, Adam, who took great care of us. I had the shrimp and scallops gnocchi, which were delicious but very sparse on the seafood. My husband and family had filet and bone in ribeye and they were delicious. Thai lobster soup is fabulous. Loved the ambiance and location on quaint downtown Franklin.

This is my new favorite spot! The food was AMAZING! This restaurant is smaller and very romantic! Our waiter was very knowledgeable and took his time going over the menu. He answered any questions we had! He gave great recommendations as well! The food was outstanding. The bread was to DIE for. I recommend trying the gnocchi if you go! I’ve already made reservations to return next month to see if it’s just as great the second time!

Have been excited about our evening at Cork & Cow! It was shaping up to be a perfect evening with good service, ambiance, and good friends. The Caesar salad was not special but our appetizers and entrees were delicious . After cocktails, we ordered a nice bottle of wine to go with our dinner. Toward the end of dinner I realized it was a large fly in my wine. Our waiter grabbed another wine glass , however there was not more wine in the bottle, so just wasted my last glass. That was the last mentioned , which left a bad taste for our table at the end of a very nice evening. Even having a manager come to the table, or comping my after dinner drink, or a free dessert would have made a difference. Our group will think twice before going to one of our favorite restaurants again , as there are so many to choose from now. It literally would have taken little time and little to no cost to have made this right . Very disappointing!

I came for my birthday and I do not regret it! The food was amazing. I got the bone-in ribeye with a side of the gnocchi. You have to try the gnocchi! My boyfriend and I got the pork belly appetizer and it was delicious. The service was superb as well! Everyone was so kind! I will definitely be back.

I had the Filet, medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. Our Server was delightful and kept a good eye on us, and refilled our water glasses promptly. The only thing that was tough to deal with was the noise. We came early to eat; but even having my Husband sitting in the next seat at the table, and not across from me, the noise level made conversation almost impossible and our hearing is really good! I would recommend Cork & Cow to a friend; but warn them to do all their talking, that they want someone to be able ti hear, before dinner.

I hesitate to tell the world how good cork and Callie has because it’s already hard enough to get in there as it is. Nonetheless, the fact of the matter is that Cork and Cow is consistently the best restaurant in Williamson County.

Arrived early for cocktails hostess was able to seat us much earlier than our late dinner reservations. Food and drinks were delicious. Steak just melts in your mouth. Got a complementary dessert for celebrating our anniversary there and a discounted bottle of wine to take home as the restaurant was running a promotion. Great experience!

We came in tonight celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary, and we were greeted by 2 host who both had a great smile and congratulated us for our anniversary. Our waitress also greeted our table by wishing us a happy anniversary. We had the pork belly and the tuna& watermelon appetizers, 2 bone in filets which were cooked perfectly, and finished our meal with the peach crisp (which they gave to us for our anniversary). All of the food was absolutely delicious, and spaced out perfectly. This has to be the best restaurant I've been to in a very long time, which is saying something because I'm a manager at a restaurant. I don't know much about Cork and cow, but you guys don't need to change a thing! Absolutely amazing from start to finish. We will be back.

My new favorite go to restaurant! Not just for special occasions. Fantastic meal. Fantastic atmosphere, and service. Literally one of the best servers we've ever had- Barry was the best. So knowledgeable and just a lot of fun too. He had perfect timing. Such a fun non stuffy vibe too. Expensive but worth every penny. Can't wait to go back.It was a perfect 10 in my book.

Amazing experience! My wife loved the cucumber salad and her shrimp and scallop gnocchi. I had a caesar salad and the bone in rib-eye. Also had a mushrooms and onions. The best side dish hands down was the creamed spinach with a fried egg!! We also had two cocktails each and loved every moment of our meal! Thank you to Mike for taking care of us and to all the staff. Very memorable meal for us to celebrate our anniversary.
