Smokestack Cafe & Catering

Really great lunch in a non-fussy diner. The chicken salad-salad, fried catfish sandwich, and chicken bacon ranch wrap were all great. The macaroni salad and coleslaw are exceptional sides as well. Prices are decent and the owner is approachable and appreciative of his customers.

My order was disappointing I always expecting a nice juicy roast beaf sandwich I received a plate that looked like slabs of leather and no cheese and I was expecting for it to be hot, but instead it was cold it was dry and very salty and so it was like a beef jerky sandwich instead of a roast beef one no hate to the restaurant. This is just my personal experience. and also, we were expecting nice cheesy creamy mac & cheese, but it was very dry and cold

I had an excellent experience for casual dinner. Smokehouse style food choices were good. Waitresses (Caitlyn (?) & Tobi) knew their menu and were outstanding ambassadors for the restaurant. They do catering also. Pulled pork and sauce was very authentic. Baked beans and potato salad were some of the best I’ve tasted. Sign on restaurant is nearly impossible to see from a car perspective. The access road is on the valley and sign is 3 stories above your windshield. RELY ON NAVIGATION VOICE TO GET YOU THERE!

BBQ was solid. Top 2 in Franklin with many fun and yummy selections to choose from. Ordering is done at front and drinks are self service style but you food orders are brought to table. Casual seating and ambiance. Easy in and out parking. I recommend giving them a shot. They also cater with many options as well

This restaurant is very nice. It's relatively clean and spacious inside with large menu's on the wall to look at what you want to eat before going to the counter. The parking lot is pretty small and was too packed for my large truck, but there was some additional parking up the hill that they allowed me to use. I got the beef brisket sandwich and it tasted amazing. The beef was so tender it easily fell apart, and it was quite juicy as well. The people at the counter were very nice and willing to help us with any questions we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes BBQ. The only thing I didn't care for was the mac and cheese. The texture was decent, but it had very little flavor.
