This was my first time and I was blown away. The beer is delicious. The food is mouth watering good. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. I had this amazing young lady as my waitress and she was in her final day of training and she did a great job at attending to her tables. I will be back

Second stop here. I had the Spicy Bacon Ranch Burger with fries. It was one of the best smoked burgers I have had in a while and it was cooked to perfection for medium rare. Fries were excellent. Only thing that could have been better was the temperature of the barely wine...it was luke warm at best and needed to be served in chilled glass or the temperature adjusted on the taps as the other sample I tried was also almost room temperature.

This place is awesome! Great vibes, great food, great drinks. I'm normally plain as can be (burger, only mustard.) Mikey recommended the Hard Truth Whiskey burger and it was life changing. Burger was delicious, service was excellent. Can't wait to return! Sorry, didn't take pics as I devoured it and and drank all the beer!

Amazing food! The waitress was very nice and promptly refilled my drink often. I may end up diabetic, but now I can tell my doctor Big Woods has really amazing service! The cook did an amazing job with the soup, I think, that's what I heard from the other tables because they were out of it by the time I ordered, it gives me a reason to come back though, because the food was absolutely amazing, my compliments to the chef!

First time at this solid eatery, easily the best dining I've had in Franklin. We were greeted by Kylely a super friendly hostess who asked us if we preferred booth or table. She explained they specialize in craft beer and Hard Truth (Indiana made) cocktails. She offered free samplings of the Hard Truth liquors. I tried the creamed coconut and bourbon -- loved them both but opted for the Porter beer which was a 16 Oz pour and delicious! Then Holly came over immediately to take our orders. We opted for the 16" pizza to have leftovers to take home. The pizza and breadsticks with beer cheese side was a good choice. The thin crust was excellent. My date had the Hard Truth Gin & Tonic. I had a taste and gotta say the gin is delicious. The service we received from Holly was top drawer. What a sweet, competent and engaged waitperson she is. The atmosphere / decor was also excellent with a view of the golf course. The only thing I could find wrong with the place is that the faucet in the ladies room was hard to turn off and on but the sink and cabinet was cool. They should think about changing out the faucet. The sink looked like brass and gave the ladies room an elevated look though I think a place that great should also ditch the pink soap in plastic dispenser and upgrade it too. That's not a complaint just a small suggestion. Holly really made our visit special and is an asset to the business. I'm definitely going back and the menu offerings made me want to try everything. It was the perfect place and actually doesn't cost more than fast food does these days.

I’ve been here with my family and now I’m with my friends, the service is amazing. Everyone is so kind ᴗ the waters are superior to any other water I’ve tasted in my life. It’s just so refreshing it’s like being washed by an ocean wave. The best way I can describe this water is virgin agua on rocks. Just amazing. The truffle fries are a must have. They are so perfect. Each time I’ve been here, the food was on point. The Mac and cheese was Mac and cheesin the fries were frying. The waiters were waiting. The ambiance was to die for. I would give my first born child just to have another truffle frie. Just one. I will be coming back again

Beyond fantastic service from their friendly staff. A lot of beer options to choose from on tap and their food is absolutely awesome every time I go here to eat. The pizza is fantastic with a 10” or 16” option (16” pictured). Definitely will recommend when others ask where to eat in the area.
