Trails to Ales Brewery — Restaurant in Franklin

Update: We tried this place again. It was actually the same as before. They forgot food again it was a side but it was part of their feature dish. I got the pulled pork quesadilla which looked great and started out amazing. The I found 2 pieces of cartilage from the pork butt bone in it. Before my wife ordered she specifically asked for a type of dressing. It was stated they had it so the order was placed. They took it upon themselves to send it out with the dresaing of their choose. When asked for the right dressing it took 10mins for the waitress to come back and say they dont have it. Then another 5 mins to get the second choose dressing. Needless to say service did not improve. We just bought multiple properties in the area and wanted to try this again to recommend to our guest but it is not going to happen. The picture attached is the second piece of cartlidge in my to go container.

I wanted to love this place and will definitely go back for a second shoot. The service and food was the down fall from a 5 star rating. The beer was really good and the decor was spot on. This place has character to spare truly. The down fall was my sandwich and service unfortunately. My sandwich tasted like it had freezer burn, then thawed and put on some really good bread. The on French Onion soup brought to the table, the other was forgotten about was cold. Second the service was slow all the way around. Multiple tables around is were feeling the pain as well. I know the place was busy but not busy enough for the wait. Like I said I am going back to try again as I want this place to...

Fun! The ambiance is great! The wait staff are friendly helpful and they seem to enjoy their jobs. They work well as a team and they help each other take good care of the customers. The food is tasty and nicely prepared. I had a Pittsburgh salad for the first time ever! It’s got French fries and steak! Right in the salad! It’s sooo GOOD! I have eaten it there twice! In two weeks! I’m visiting from California and I only eat organic, and while their offerings are not… organic they are good. If your visiting it’s a good place. It’s clean and the food is well prepared and to me it’s prepared correctly. It’s small town done right! The beers are wonderful! I had the Liberty it’s tasty smooth effervescent in just the perfect amount. When I went the second time with friends we shared a beer flight! I indulged in most of the yummy malt liquids My friends we’re definitely enjoying the two flights of mojitos they had! Yep they ordered two! The first one was so good … they ordered another! I liked the beer better! The place has TVs comfortably placed for viewing. The bar is wide and comfy. They have plenty of space to sit and enjoy! They have a second bar area that faces the street. The photos are from both my visits. The first visit I sat at the bar. The second time I went with friends. We sat in the ample sized high table booths. It’s fun to watch the activity of the busy Main Street Small town Fun!...

First time at this new venue in Franklin. This is a very welcome addition to this little town. Perfect size for a growing place that is growing a bit slowly, but growing! I had a 4-beer flight but nothing off the food menu so I can't tell you about the choices, other than to say that it's limited to small plates, but they sound good - things like hummus, salads etc.. My four brews were the Trailhead Malt Red, Mud Puppy Choc Stout, Holdens Lager, and Train Wreck triple Belgium. The chocolate stout was good IF you're a chocolate lover. Tasted more like carbonated chocolate than beer. Trail head red was decent - just not my taste. Average to me. Holden's lager was very well balanced and tasty for a lager. Not thin and tasteless at all. Very nice brew - the best I had today. Train Wreck was quite smooth and tasty for a triple (9%+). Very en;joyable brew. I was at the bar, but received very prompt and friendly service. I will be back to try some of the other brews and something or two from the menu, and will update then. Atmosphere is quite nice and again, a real showpiece for Franklin. Just the right size with the brew tanks visible through the glass behind the bar. If you live here, you should make it a regular stop. If you're visiting, make it a for sure stop! Bring a growler - they will refill them, but they were out when I was there. Mine was at home :-/ Highly...
