The Village Back Porch and Grille

Honestly one of the best spots to grab lunch in Franklin, even though this restaurant is located inside of a retirement/assisted living facility. Great specials, inexpensive, good portions, good place for a club sandwich or burger, some healthy salads, and their fries are good as well! The staff is also very friendly and welcoming.I get takeout from here for myself or for the office if I'm in the area. Highly recommended!

I'm only giving this restaurant 3 stars because it's technically not a public restaurant. It has been open for a few years but they mainly just serve the retirement complex. The signage for the restaurant was nonexistent and parking is sparse. The food was really good and reasonably priced. My daughter had the grilled cheese with bacon, the cheese tasted terrible to be honest, definitely not like the American cheese I've had. The waitress was really nice but I couldn't help feeling as if we were intruding on the community.

This place is in a retirement complex. You would not know it though. The food is excellent. The prices are good. The service is good. I would recommend this as a place to eat.
