Tonight, my friend and I tried a new to us place in Franklin: Wilco Fusion Grill . Summary: it's super delicious and has huge portions and great service!
This is another one of those order at the counter and take your number places, but don't let it fool you. This place has some pretty awesome flavors and the service is very prompt, accurate, and kind.
We started with both the guacamole and the queso. Additionally, salsa was delivered to the table. We had plenty of chips and dips. The salsa had this interesting smokey taste that made it almost have a barbecue hint. The queso was super creamy and delicious. The guacamole was that kind I love: chunky and full of onions, tomatoes, and flavor. The chips were on the thicker side, but they were not too thick. They were not perfect, but they handled the flavors of the dips very well. I ordered the chicken loaded steak fries. Instead of the pasta salad, I chose black beans. From the pictures on the website, I assumed this was going to be a smaller dish. I was absolutely incorrect. I was not able to finish my dish, nor did we finish all of our chips and dip. My loaded fries were absolutely delicious, and I am pretty excited to have my leftovers later. The beans were not my top black beans ever, but I believe they will go wonderfully mixed with my leftovers. My friend appeared to really like her dish as well, which was I believe a chicken fajita bowl. She also had a lot of leftovers. Well the prices may seem high on the initial look at the menu, the portions are on par with that price. I probably have two meals in my fridge because she senf the chips and dips home with me.
The menu also has some very helpful labels online, though those labels do not appear on the menu in store (unless I overlooked them). The gluten-free and gluten modified labels are very helpful. The gluten modified label shows items that can be easily made gluten-free. And the gluten-free and gluten modified selections make a very large portion of the menu.
If you are in the area, you should definitely give this place a try. Definitely bring your takeaway containers because you will most likely not be able to...
Read moreI was excited to try to this place but it just didn’t really deliver. I had the chicken arepas which was the best item we tried, I would rate 4 out of 5. The empanadas were OK - I would say the chicken was the best of the 3, but had a curry flavor which isn’t my personal fave. The cheese and potato empanadas were very bland and mostly potato. The beef empanada was OK but also not flavorful. I’ve had much better empanadas at places that don’t even specialize in empanadas. The guacamole was OK but mostly tomatoes and onions, not a lot of avocado. My partner, who usually loves guac, barely ate any due to the lack of avocado. The salsa portion was hilariously tiny for 2 people. It was like they were rationing salsa. Yeah I could ask for more but the line was long and they were busy. My partner ordered a mango drink that didn’t come til we were almost done with our meal. Also worth noting they don’t have a soda machine here, so they only have 12 oz soda cans, which are hilariously over-priced considering you can’t get a refill like with a soda machine. Likely won’t be back here. A lot better restaurants around Cool Springs and Franklin. I was very surprised to see this place rated 4.8/5 on Google after...
