Hogwood is probably my favorite place to eat Barbeque in Franklin. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and it's all incredible. The meat selections are cooked to perfection, and the sides are delicious. Speaking of sides, you would think a tiny serving of pickles on each platter would be enough, not! I get a whole cup of these things, as one of my servings because they are so good. To be honest, I could probably eat several more cups. It and the rosemary potato salad, along with the marbled Brisket are my most ordered items. ***Side descriptions taken from Hogwood's website***Icebox Pickles (Fresh sliced cucumbers and onions and add our pickle brine made from rice wine vinegar and the Hogwood Pickling Spice Mix) and RosemaryPotato Salad (real potatoes and bacon, mixed with a hint of rosemary to create something new and refreshing.)My husband ordered the Lean Brisket with Hatch ChileCheese Grits(Fire Roasted Green Chile's from Hatch, New Mexico with Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Hogwood Seasoning, and Stone Ground Grits grits) and HogwoodSlaw (Thinly Sliced Cabbage, Kale, and green apples tossed with our Maple Cider Vinaigrette and garnished with hemp hearts. Our Maple Cider Vinaigrette is made from Apple Cider Vinegar and sweetened with real maple syrup.)Leaving it up to the reader to check out descriptions to rest of the menu. But, it's best to go in person and taste what appeals to you. If contemplating, they give samples to help make the finalselection. Once there, you order and pay at the register. You're given a number, and your food is brought to the table. The restaurant has the smoky aroma of a barbecue place, and it's a clean environment. Service is great, because everyone at this place works to make you a happy customer. I would recommend this Hogwood BBQ to anyone looking for this type food.

Since moving to Franklin one of our favorite BBQ spots is Hogwood. Privately owned not a chain. They take great care in how they smoke their meat and the quality of their meat is excellent. The brisket is smoked perfectly still very juicy with a dissolve in your mouth wow. They are a well trained staff and all is open for you to observe as they cut your serving's. Great side dishes as well. We like their tasty slaw and pickles. Highly recommend Hogwood- rumor has it they may serve their food in Leipers Fork soon.

Loved the ambiance and service at this place. As soon as you walk in it smells divine. The food was aesthetically appetizing and is nicely placed on the plate. However, as someone who has tried BBQ from Mississippi to Memphis to Nashville, it didn't make my "top favorite list". Overall my ribs were a bit too fatty and not much meat (not sure if it was just our cut). We tried the beans, coleslaw, and hatch chile grits. I wasn't a fan of the beans or coleslaw but the hatch chile grits are delicious . We would return back for those. Great place to grab a bite, it's clean and has excellent service.

Passing through on our way to Alabama and we wanted something close to the hotel. This fit the bill and sounded like good BBQ. We were definitely happy with the choice. It was nothing fancy but we weren't looking for fancy. The place was bustling. My husband had the nachos and I had the brisket bowl. The brisket could have been more Smokey flavored but was still pretty good once I added the bbq sauce. The workers were friendly and we were offered a moon pie was given to us as we were headed out the door. Nice touch. We really enjoyed the rustic decoration of the restaurant and would eat there again.

Placed a takeout order and ordered my usual- Smoked pork bowl. It was fabulous. The staff here are kind and quick with the order. Cute place with fun things to read on the walls . Easy parking lot and do not wait long for food. Love this place and I'll be back! ****When you check in on Yelp you'll be offered a free drink to use now or later!!!

Hogwood is an amazing bbq spot In a great place in Franklin. We love coming to Hogwood and will always make the trip from Murfreesboro. I don't think any other bbq place has as much creativity as they have. The smoked bbq bowls are so good, I always go for the brisket bowl. I wish they did not change their portion sizes though, we used to be filled up but now we leave more on the hungry side.

Great food and service. Brisket was a bit tough, but they replaced it quickly with some much better quality brisket.
