Uchi is our favorite sushi restaurant. We'd highly recommend going for happy hour that starts at 5pm, but get there at 4:45pm to secure your spot! Otherwise, don't forget to make a reservation, this place is hopping!

Franklin BBQ meets asian cuisine. If you love fushion, this place is for you. The menu is eclectic and delicious, can't go wrong with any choice. Also, there's a cute outdoor patio for sipping on some cocktails.

Be prepared to wait in line for the holy grail of brisket (I’m talking like before 9AM). People trek from all over to tail gate in this line hours before it even opens.
