Jonathan Jackson Along with Steve Burton Opening Franklin Restaurant

What does General Hospital have to do with a new Franklin restaurant?  Jonathan Jackson (Lucky-General Hospital/Avery-Nashville) & Steve Burton (Jason Morgan-General Hospital/Dylan McAvoy-Young & the Restless) are opening a restaurant in Franklin.

Back in August 2015, we reported that the Franklin favorite Mikey Roos had closed for renovations. We reached out to owner, Ricky Shannon, for comment at that time but was unable to  reach Shannon. See the Facebook post from Mikey Roos.

In December, we reported about Jackson & Burton plan to open Jack and Jameson’s Smokehouse which is also where Ricky Shannon appeared.  See the Facebook post below where Shannon is busy working on a handmade table for the new restaurant. “Meet our owner/operator, Rick Shannon. Richard is a restaurateur of over twenty years and was involved in turning around Puckett’s in Leiper’s Fork. He’s overseeing the whole remodel and has been doing some of the work himself – including creating our hand-made tables!”

 

Jack and Jameson's Smokehouse

According to the Jack and Jameson’s Smokehouse Facebook page, it promises to be a family friendly, world class restaurant & music venue.  There are also plans to serve 20 micro brews.  We did get a hint at how they came to the name Jack and Jameson’s Smokehouse as in one Facebook post, they mention the finished tables handmade by Ricky Shannon and son Jameson.

We have reached out again to learn more about an opening date for Jack and Jameson but have been unable to receive an update.  Keep checking  back here for more updates as we receive them. Wonder if there will be a ‘Nashville’ showcase at the new restaurant?
