Review Barbara's Home Cookin - Franklin

Dollie Davis
Great food and it was a beautiful day to sit outside...a tiny hidden gem of a restaurant. Very nice and friendly family who runs the place. Fabulous yeast rolls, everything was so, so good. We've lived in Nashville forever (hubby born here) and just now finding this delicious little place. Even our dog got to sit out with us and get lots of pets and spoiling from the nice owners. Catfish, slaw (yum), and mac and cheese, fried pork chop, fried apples, and okra, followed by fudge pie and banana pudding. No picture of the yeast rolls (with real butter) because we inhaled them before the rest of the food came out 😋.

Delicious southern cooking! The roll I was given while I waited for my food was warm and delicious, the country fried steak was amazing with the perfect gravy, the fried okra was crispy and fresh, the mac and cheese needed some hot sauce to make it great, but that’s more of a personal taste thing. Even the sweet tea was a perfect blend of sugar and tea. I was also called sweetie pie by a nice lady, and that made me feel right at home! 😁 All in all, a great, tasty experience!

Don’t let the outside look fool you…This is a hidden diamond 💎 in Franklin. The best country food I ever had not only in TN bu anywhere. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the short ribs and my wife had the country fried steak - both amazing 👏

Just one of the best places to eat in general. Everything is amazing. The staff is so nice you don’t want to leave and the food is so good you won’t want to stop eating. More people should know about this place, but I’m kinda glad they don’t.

I wish I could pack Barbara's up with me and take the whole place with me everywhere I go! Seriously you're missing out if you've never ate here. I have bragged about their porkchops for 3 years and I have looked forward to coming back. When I came back this week it didn't disappoint. My memory didn't deceive me. Barbara's was just as good now as it was then. The green beans are mouthwatering. The porkchop meal is too much for just one sitting so I end up getting two amazing meals for the price of one. This place is an entire vibe.

Ok, y'all. Listen. This is some straight up down South cooking. Located in what seems like primarily a residential area, this place is easy to pass by and not see from the street so pay attention when following your map guidance. I had the poppyseed chicken with pineapple casserole... both of which I've never had before. Apparently the pineapple casserole is a big deal down South (as I learned). There's limited parking and somewhat limited seating. When you walk in, you'll feel like family. A must visit. Highly recommended.

Fantastic southern meat and three, I'm always a fan of their fried chicken and the poppyseed chicken casserole. The mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were good, but they had already run out of my favorites, fried okra, and the field peas. I missed getting pictures of the blackberry cobbler, and the banana pudding as both disappeared unbelievably quickly!

Really good country cooking. Love, love, love the South African accent of the staff. Count how many times you get called "Darling".

Well I was a little disappointed. My friend had eaten there a few days before and raved about the food. Our meal however did not meet those standards. One piece of my chicken was not done ( actually left blood on my plate). They did bring me a replacement piece. Her Meatloaf was not good, very strong and unusual texture. Corn and sweet potatoes were delicious but literally about 3 tablespoons of corn, very small servings. For the price...not so much what I thought it would be.

This place is what livin' & enjoying southern cookin'. The folks that run the place make you feel like you dropping over to family's house for a meal. Love this place and the people in it, and the food is real and wonderful.

This was exactly what I wanted in down home cooking. All of the food was outstanding and filling as down home food should be the desserts were even better. The waitresses were polite and knew the menu. Wonderful family restraunt, kid friendly. Be sure to bring an appetite and a gut yearning for southern cooking. Beyond happy with everything here.

OMG The homemade rolls are to die for, just like the ones my Gran used to make. Country food cooked like my Gran cooked it. WOW Can't get any better
Bill Guion
The food was delicious. The hospitality even better and the chocolate pie was the best. No frills setting w/ quality food at a fair price and the owners were very charming people. I'll be back!!
Sheila Foote Jones
Best meat and three around - then add a ginormous yeast roll and homemade dessert and you will know what a southern meal tastes like!
Annette J Tidwell
I had great tender pork � chops, great cucumber& tomatoes �, field peas and the best home made rolls I've had in a long time.🖒

The food was good, not great. The service was terrible! Apparently you have to dress like a Brentwood elite to be welcome at this restaurant. My girlfriend and I were out riding my motorcycle when we looked on yelp to find a spot to stop and eat at. When we pulled up the place looked like a dump, it's a converted house that's run down. The entire time the workers were giving me dirty looks (I guess a motorcycle vest is scary). After the waitress brought of drinks and food, she never checked back with us to see if we needed refills or condiments. She did check on the tables beside us 15+ times while we sat with empty drink cups and no dipping sauces for our chicken. We will not be back.

I love this place and the service is great! Don't skip the rolls!

Stopped in on a Sunday morning. Good home cooking. Service was great. If you like a place that's local then this is it.
Sally Bittner
Best meal ever and the staff is simply accommodating and friendly.
Chandra Lynn
Loved this place, the food is amazing! The chicken tenders were the best I've ever had at a restaurant.
Ginger Smithson White
I'll drive from Texas to eat at Miss Barbara's! Poppy seed chicken is the best.

All I can say is wow! I flew into Nashville for the day to work with our local rep and told her I didn't want a chain restaurant for lunch. She took me to Barbara's- it was like going to grandmas! Loved it.... food and people were wonderful.
Steven McLellan
Home cookin'.. like Grandma is showin' out in the kitchen! The only thing sweeter than the tea and desserts is the hospitality! Do yourself a favor and just go...and often.
Tristan Thunderbolt
I felt like I went to grandma 's house for lunch. Perfect meat and two.
Kris Bagbey
It like going to an Aunts house that's a fabulous cook and after you eat sit and visit showing picture. Food was so good. I wanted to go back the next night.
