Traveling From Knoxville TN to Franklin TN

Traveling from Knoxville to Franklin and should be around Cookeville or Lebanon around noon. Looking for a good place for lunch. Will be traveling with two other couples. Any suggestions would be helpful. Would also like recommendations for Franklin TN. Thanks

When you get to Franklin there's a couple of great Meat n 3's. One is among my favourites. Puckett's Grocery.

Another good option is Dotson's.

In Cookville, Tn try Bobby Q.  Be sure not to miss the banana pudding.

In Franklin, I'd head directly to Barbara's Home Cooking -

Last time I was there was about a year ago so don't know current status. Hard to believe since its been there forever. I started going there back in 1983 when I lived in Brentwood. My Daughter currently lives in Franklin. I'll ask her and report back.
EDIT: I called One Stop. They are open. They were closed Temporarily but have reopened. Sounds like ownership changed. Will have BBQ available in about 2 weeks.

One of the very best breakfasts that I ever had was in Franklin, Tennessee (1994).  I found it thanks to the Sterns' 1992 Roadfood edition.   It was at:
Dotson's
99 East Main Street
Franklin, TN  37064-2249
(615) 794-2805
 
I remember the waitress asked me with a smile if I wanted leaded or unleaded coffee.

Dotson's sits on the bank of a river and was heavily damaged during the Historic Record Level Floods of May 2010.
Not sure if they're back and Operational. Any "Locals" know for sure? You could give them a call before going

That's good news! Was the food still good? Hope the biscuit recipe didn't get washed away in the flood!

I can't attest to whether or not it's still as good and I didn't have the biscuits. I did however declare it blogworthy.

Holly gives it his thumbs up too and that was good enough for me to try it.
