'Nashville' Star's Jack and Jameson's Smokehouse Is Now Open in Franklin

Fans of ABC's Nashville certainly were excited when news first broke that actor Jonathan Jackson was partnering with General Hospital alum Steve Burton to open Jack and Jameson's Smokehouse, a restaurant, bar and music venue, in Franklin. Since then, updates on the opening haven't exactly been plentiful, but now the wait appears to be over, as a surprise opening was announced early yesterday evening.

Located in the former home of Mickey Roos, the restaurant, which is managed by owner/operator Rick Shannon, will serve barbecue, burgers and assumedly other similar fare. Twenty beers are on tap, and there will of course be live music.

Open seven days a week, hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.
