    The food was phenomenal as always. Our server, Wilder, was fun and very attentive. The best steakhouse in the Franklin area and it’s not even close.

    I had a really lovely time at Cork & Cow for my girlfriend’s special birthday dinner. Mike was our server, and he was so kind! We had requested name cards in the reservation notes, and the team made sure to have them ready, which was much appreciated. The attention to detail here is incredible, and the service was an 11/10—truly above and beyond. The filet and lamb chops were perfectly cooked and absolutely wonderful, and the chimichurri was spot on. On the other hand, the brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and broccolini lacked seasoning, which was a little disappointing. I didn’t try the ribeye, but from a discussion after dinner, they said it tasted great but the fat cap could have been better rendered, as it was gristly and chewy. As for drinks, two Old Fashioneds were ordered. One was described as fantastic, a solid 9/10, (10 being the best old fashioned they’ve had), while the other felt like it had an artificial pear taste for their seasonal variation. Still, it was a fantastic evening, and we’ll definitely be back to eat at Cork & Cow again!

    I went to the Cork & Cow and their sister restaurant, the Red Pony. The service was great. The sides were very good. The steaks were adequate. I expected a lot more from $50-60 steaks. I suspect they are using select or choice beef at best and perhaps not dry aging. Honestly, I've had better steaks at Outback and Longhorn.
