This place is fantastic I don't think you can go wrong with any of the food. It's an indoor outdoor really cool hiking spot retreat just to hang out and relax The food truck that we went to was fantastic. Actually the guy that I know from mountain biking at jackrabbit Was working there so that was pretty cool Very friendly had great recommendations and the food came out very quickly and was super super fresh I mean they make their own french fries they make their own onion rings nothing is Frozen I mean it was impressive Real beef real Burger real everything This was a real food truck very very cool Got to hang out at the hikers kitchen and the outdoor picnic area Many thumbs up a must-see when you go to Franklin And you won't go wrong with the food if you want to indulge a little bit an

Really nice food truck with a bar and outside seating. Has a few kids options and the burger I got was really good. Very cool hiking/Appalachian Trail theme as well. They have live music in the evening often, but at lunch it was very quiet.

We were passing through the area when we stumbled upon Hiker’s Kitchen. It is a little food truck attached to Lazy Hiker Brewing Co. The food was great for a casual afternoon lunch. I really enjoyed the Bavarian pretzel with honey mustard and the curly fries. Everyone else also seemed pleased with their order. We ate inside which was cozy and definitely fit the hiker theme. Their outside seating area also looked nice, and they even had a fire pit. Hiker’s Kitchen/brewery is super dog friendly with dogs welcomed inside and outside as long as they’re leashed and well behaved. My dog Beans had a great time sitting with us while we ate, and everyone was so nice to him. I think Hiker’s Kitchen is a great place to stop for lunch, especially if you have a dog with you!

The food is delicious and the staff very friendly. If you come here during the car shows in Franklin there's a good chance you'll see some hot rods in the parking lot. You order your food and you get to go into the tap room and they will bring it to you. And don't forget to look for daily specials. Sometimes they have their banana or chocolate Oreo puddings try them they are delicious.. However there are no beverages available here the word right next to the lazy hiker and there's lots of goodies over there. Home to the best burgers in town. Oh I almost forgot their award-winning french fries, absolutely delicious. Keep an eye out for their house made puddings made by mom.

The workers were really sweet and patient with me when we were placing our big order. We ordered 3 hotdogs, 3 Philly cheese steaks, and three burgers with fries as sides for each. The atmosphere wasn't the best. The seats where you are placed to eat is located by the brewery and there's a lot of drunk people. It says kids friendly when you are looking up a place to eat... but I wouldn't sit there again. The conversation my children heard were horrible and inappropriate for children even adults. My husband had to tell the adults to watch out how they are talking and to have respect for children. He told them that we had children here and that we don't talk like that ever. It was pretty crazy. Anyways now let's talk about food. The hotdogs my children loved. I tried it because I couldn't ea
