Located in the historic Factory at Franklin (just 1.5 miles away). We are regulars at Mojo's Taco. Warm tortillas just off the plancha, chef-driven recipes, a full selection of craft tequilas and beers from local brewers... these are just a few of the Mojo’s hallmarks that we’re proud to share with middle Tennessee residents and visitors. https://www.mojostacos.com/

Located in Downtown Franklin (just 2 miles away). Housed in one of the most historic buildings in downtown Franklin, GRAY’S on Main places a modern flourish on Southern culinary traditions. The kitchen is dedicated to creating clean and complex profiles that represent the roots of our culture—with a bit of global influence sprinkled in.
The GRAY’S bar program applauds vintage epicurean spirits and a cocktail menu that closely coincides with the kitchen’s seasonal pairings. Our bar program director, Brandon Thomson, has created a handcrafted menu unlike anything in the country, reflecting not only the restaurant’s original roots, but also the drink culture of the late 19th century. Influenced by “The Golden Age of the American Cocktail,” the bar program follows the marks of that period: one full of creation, experimentation and vigor, with a focus on brandy-inspired libations.
