Shot & Pepper – Franklin, TN

Driving around Franklin I came across a new restaurant called Shot and Pepper. The name caught my attention so I decided to check out the menu.

The best way I can describe their menu is Mexican with a Southern flare. The atmosphere of the restaurant is inviting because of all the reclaimed wood but also adventurous with all the accents of stainless steel throughout.

I love tortilla soup so I was happy to get to try theirs. The presentation of the soup was beautiful and it all started with the type of bowl they served it in. The soup was a creamy base unlike a broth that I usually find and that made it very filling. They had nice pieces of fresh chicken throughout the soup too. I ended up eating the soup with extra tortilla chips to add extra crunch.

So to validate my description of their menu being Mexican with a Southern flare, I knew I had to try their Hot Chicken burrito. The burrito was filled with the chicken and a homemade slaw and topped off with their creamy homemade queso. Their hot chicken was great on its own, not too spicy. Their slaw was a perfect complement to the chicken and it was all kept together with the tortilla shell. The queso was a nice addition to the flavor that you normally would not get with other hot chicken dishes.
