This will be the fifth location of the beloved steakhouse, and it is sure to become a highlight of the Franklin dining scene.

Where Will It Be?

The new Char Restaurant will be nestled inside the vibrant Canteen on Carothers, an exciting mixed-use development located in Williamson County’s bustling Cool Springs corridor. Funded by Stockbridge Capital Group, Canteen is designed to be Franklin’s latest urban hub, featuring an array of shopping, recreational activities, and, of course, unique dining experiences.

The restaurant will feature cozy dining areas, a chic bar, a private dining room for those intimate celebrations, and even patio seating for when the weather is just right.

A Place for Every Occasion

The versatile menu is another star of the show. Char is known for its top-notch selection of USDA Prime and Choice cuts of meat, along with fresh seafood and delicious homestyle sides. Are you a fan of lunch specials? Get ready for their appealing weekday meat-and-three lunch option. And if you’re in the mood for something a little different, how does a New Orleans-style jazz brunch sound? With local jazz musicians performing every night in the piano bar, Char is poised to be the perfect place to enjoy good food and great music!

A Rich Legacy

Char originally opened in 2001 in Jackson, Mississippi, and has since expanded to several locations in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The Franklin venue is set to be designed by the skilled architects at Matheny Goldmon Architects + Interiors based in Nashville, promising a creative and welcoming ambiance that aligns perfectly with its exciting food offerings.

Why Franklin?

The decision to expand into Williamson County was driven by the significant influx of new residents in the area, creating an exciting opportunity to meet an unmet need for diverse dining options. As the community continues to grow, the addition of Char Restaurant promises to enrich the dining landscape, making it an ideal destination for both new and long-time residents.
