Ludlow & Prime

Four months or so after my initial review, we've not seen Ludlow & Prime burn in and get into its rhythm as much as we expected. The bar still seems to be the heart of the place. It's been busy and loud each visit. Online menu on their website is still the menu from the closed Brentwood location, which is not at all the same menu as Berry Farms. Their marketing focus is clearly not online. Asked the server about the "craft beer offerings" mentioned on the menu. Didn't know, came back and reported there are (still) no craft beer offerings.Menu lists soups as "chicken tortilla or soup du jour". Asked about the soup of the day, didn't know, came back and reported they "just have the gumbo". Does that mean there's no chicken tortilla? Does that mean the gumbo is the soup of the day? Don't know, dropped the subject. Queso was good. They'd clearly crisped the chips up in oil before serving, which was nice. Burger was fine, nothing particularly outstanding. The fries (requested without truffle oil) were excellent, the star of both our plates. Wife had the grouper tacos; a challenge to pick up, but tasty. Still being generous with the rating since we want to support local business and expanding restaurant offerings in Berry Farms. We'll keep on the occasional visit for now, but won't rush back.

Have gone to dinner six times, tonight will be the last.Wildly inconsistent food quality. Shrimp and grits that has been fabulous at times and, literally, inedible twice. Fantastic salmon. The most average, unremarkable hamburger I've ever had. Good steak. Amazing Brussel sprouts.Staff is great unless there is any hiccup or , God forbid, a complaint about food quality. They don't seem to know how to handle it or make it right. My wife actually complimented the shrimp and grits while saying the grits were terrible, in an effort to encourage them to improve for the future, and the waiter basically ignored her.Tonight, two people at our table ordered the same dish and one was so over-seasoned it was a darker color of orange. The server insisted they were made in the same pan. Maybe so... but one of them got an extra large helping of cayenne pepper or something added before it came to the table.Literally two plates side-by-side that were visually different and she said we were wrong. The chef was not in on Friday night for dinner service and we simply could do nothing about it. I assume they don't let line cooks talk to customers.There are great restaurants around Franklin. This place is not interested in becoming one of them.

We arrived on a rainy night and grabbed seats at the bar. Good atmosphere. Would change out the bright light under the bar for something softer with more ambiance. Greeted nicely by an older bar tender. Disappointed in the cocktail selection. For Franklin, craft cocktails should be a staple on the menu. People will pay for good cocktails. Ordered an old fashioned. My husband ordered wine. The OF was terrible. Ready to write off the bar. Isaiah saved the day. Remade my OF when he saw I wasn't drinking it. Very knowledgeable bartender. He should be in charge of creating new specialty craft cocktails for the menu. Excellent. Food was good. Burger was fantastic. Fries crispy grouper tacos disappointing. Slaw is good but batter isn't. Would try them grilled. We will be back. Saw several things we would try on the menu but if Isaiah isn't working, not sure I would get w cocktail. .

Went for business lunch with group. Pork Chop was good with potatoes but they placed the blackberry sauce on the potatoes and wasn't too fond of it. Chicken Salad was good but a little too heavy on the vinegarete. Next time will ask for on side. Friend had salmon and said it was very good. Very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable servers. Restrooms clean. Would go again to try other options.

We had reservations the day after Valentine's Day and were hoping for the best after reading some reviews and boy did we get lucky with our choice of restaurant for the evening! We loved the ambience, the restaurant is so pretty inside. Our server Rachel was awesome! So personable, fun & friendly, and knowledgeable about the dishes. Let's get to the food which was to die for! The men had the pork chop which they said was outstanding with its blackberry Gorgonzola combo as it was the perfect sauce-not too sweet and not heavy with the Gorgonzola. The accompanying mashed potatoes were a hit. The ladies had the salmon which was the best salmon we've ever had. Cedar flavored and cooked to perfection over a bed of rice that was tasty as well. We also had the deviled eggs (yum!) and the parmesan monkey bread for apps which were both delicious. Cocktails were stiff and no holding back on their pours! Would highly recommend this spot in Berry Farms for a very fun and delicious night out! Will be returning for sure.

Actually walking to another when approached by the manager to come in and take a look. We followed him in and after a few minutes felt very comfortable. Had a few drinks, an incredible steak and the best creamed spinach I've ever tasted. Very good service all around. Will return!

We went for the first time on NYE and this place is pretty spacious. We had the salmon dinner and it was soooooo good, not your normal boring salmon, it was large , juicy and smoked to perfection. They also make really good drinks. Will definitely go back... our servers Phillip and Kimberly were absolutely amazing and they gave us excellent service.

Food is not good, mediocre at best, execution is horrific, wouldn't spend a dime there again.

I will not go back. The food was underwhelming and overpriced. As an example, the Colossal Scallops were three medium sized scallops and 5 pieces of asparagus for $36. Five out of 7 in our party did not enjoy their dinner. I will say that the service was great.

Food was ok , not for the price though , more of a neighborhood bar that looks like a fancy restaurant. A nice J'alexanders look , with Tony's quality food. On the bright side , the staff was amazing and helpful ! They did an amazing job with service
