First I would like to give a shout-out to our awesome server, Victor. He was friendly, funny, and attentive. I like the inside because there were no bright spotlights shining in my eyes (a pet peeve of mine).I ordered a filet, mac/cheese, and fried okra. The fried okra was excellent. The filet tasted like it had been marinated in something and I didn't care for the taste of it. The mac/cheese tasted like it came from a box. I also had a side salad which was very good as were their biscuits. My husband ordered the NY Strip, corn, and mashed potatoes. He tasted my filet and didn't care for the taste either so he gave me half of his NY Strip which was okay but not that tender.Thank you for your review Cheryl! We are happy to hear about your service from Victor and the parts of your meal you enjoyed. We are sorry you did not care for the Filet or Macaroni and Cheese. We do not marinate our steaks in anything, we only add garlic butter and seasoning once it has been cooked. The macaroni is one of the only side dishes we do not make here at the restaurant. We appreciate all your feedback good and bad and will work very hard to improve. We hope you will give us another chance and dine with us again in the future.

My husband and I have been to the Honeysuckle on three different occasions over the past 6 months. For the most part we have really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the service. Last week I took two of my friends there for a celebration lunch. We all ordered the fish and chips. It was absolutely terrible! The fish came out looking like three dog turds on the plate. Over breaded, way over fried, and dried up. We all looked at each other and decided that sending three plates back to the kitchen was just not right but they were definitely not what we expected. The fries were limp and had some kind of spicy seasoning on them which bothered my two elderly friends. So I asked the server if we could have some fries with no seasoning and she said there was no seasoning on them. But after we insisted, she finally came back with a plate of plain fries. We just picked at the fish. I took all the breading off of mine and just ate the actual fish. What a disaster! Now I'm conflicted as to whether to return. I for sure will not be bringing guests since I'm unsure of the food. It's so dissapointing since I loved this restaurant before and really want to see Franklin encourage more local restaurants instead of the appalling number of chains and fast food places we have now. But I'm not sure I can support a place that is so inconsistent with their food.ChefKaren7, we wanted to thank you for giving your time to share your experience with The Honeysuckle. We are displeased the experience we provided was not well received and will be certain that both management as well as the owner review. We do hope to earn the opportunity to serve you again in the near future in order to provide not only the experience you expect, but deserve. We'd love to earn your trust again.We do hope this finds everything else is well with you and wish you our best!

I believe this is a hidden gem for brunch in the Franklin area. The ambiance is very good and so is the food. Perfect Sunday setting. We had 4 coffee crusted filets and a variety of sides. All were good. On this occasion, the filets were over crusted in the outside but they were still very good. I would return.

Delicious filet and baked potato both cooked perfectly. The atmosphere left something to be desired. Perhaps some better lighting and a little background music. A theme of some sort. The hostess is almost non communicative. Bizarre greeting filled by a long silence. Remember when hosts and hostesses would say â Hi welcome to ( blank ) we will be right with you or we will have your table ready shortly etc. All of these classics continue to fall through the cracks. Step up the training and retraining a bit and you might survive the game. In short Connorâs has good food and everything else is ok. Itâs not even close to a Stoney River or J Alexander experience so donât expect that. But expect the same type of bill. Restaurants in this price range really should have a higher level of service and ambiance. Connorâs misses the mark in those departments. Pretty good food though.Thank you for the thorough review. We are glad you enjoyed your food, but more importantly hope you'll come back and give us another chance to earn your 5-star review. We definitely want you to feel like you received impeccable service.

Carlo is one of the best waiters we've ever had. He had great recommendations and he had a personality! The food was fantastic as well. Tuna, rib eye, bbq shrimp and grits and crab cakes all cooked to perfection. Everything at the salad bar was fresh and they had a great assortment of dressings. We got there at 6pm with reservation and it was packed. The desserts were delicious...bananas foster, peppermint ice cream with chocolate rum sauce and sticky pudding. We will definitely be back. The only complaint would be the acoustics but I'll take a loud restaurant with great food any day.Hi there! We're so glad to hear that Carlo provided you with superior service. Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the food as well and chose some excellent menu items. Our salad bar is one of our most unique features, as is our bananas foster made table side! Thank you again for this excellent review of your experience, and we look forward to seeing you again very soon. Cheers! - Chesney

My first and last visit to this restaurant. I ordered the shrimp and scallop dinner. It also included gnocchi â plenty of that pasta â but only two shrimp and two scallops. It should have read a gnocchi dinner with a bit of seafood. At the price of $30.00, I was totally displeased as I would never have paid that much for pasta with a touch of seafood. While the service was good, the food left a lot to be desired.
