Fantastic restaurant!! Came for coffee and back for lunch! Visiting downtown Franklin, TN and this was recommended to me by multiple people! A bit loud and busy but they got us through the line quick! Plenty of space to sit and eat. Highly recommend to visit when you are in Franklin!!!

5/2025 Update: I had the opportunity to eat here again and it's just as delicious as before. Service is fast and friendly and it gets really busy and the food is delicious! I had a delicious breakfast at Merridee's! I got a delicious iced latte and the Bennett's Scramble and the eggs were perfect! The cheese on top ... was definitely quality. The hash brown casserole was some of the best hash brown casserole I've ever had. When I come back, it'll be hard not to get more of it. It was SO good. Cool old coffee shop atmosphere. Service was quick. Employees were nice. They also offer beer and wine if that's what you are looking for at lunch time.
