This is a great little grill. I loved the open air concept seating, the staff was friendly and pleasant. The food was outstandingly tasty and fairly priced. I enjoyed a drink and it was cold and refreshing. My wife and brother in law enjoyed their meal as well as we sat in the open area and enjoyed the xool breeze as we discussed our week and shared a few laughs. This is a wonderful place to enjoy alone or with family or friends. Highly recommend it ?

Great atmosphere with friendly staff. Prices didn't seem crazy. Great selection of alcohol and basic bar eats. Wish there was a pool table.

This was the only place open when we arrived at 9:30. The super nachos were loaded with canned chilly and nacho 'cheeze', not great but at least edible. The pizza was terrible though. Lame toppings on a cardboard crust.Friendly staff and good beer earned Franklin's a star.

Great atmosphere! Best bartenders! Food is wonderful! And the drink menu amazing!

Boneless chicken bites are fantastic and service and atmosphere is wonderfulHere before a concert and it's great

An absolute must if in the area, my husband and I were in town for a concert and ended up spending most of our weekend at Franklins. Great food and better company. Matt the bartender made us feel very welcomed, like we were hanging out at his basement bar but with amazing food

Came with a friend on 2/9. They got the chicken quesadilla, I got the pretzel. They got sick from the quesadilla! I am feeling fine as I only had the pretzel, but they’re too sick to write this as I’m typing! Not good!Great presentation, with a nice location & atmosphere, but things like this can’t happen…

They allowed smoking inside this restaurant/bar! Ash trays were available throughout the facility. Menu was slightly high $, but not horrible. Great beer selection, great location. Cool atmosphere if you like the smell of cigarette smoke.

food is top notch. not some watering hole in the side of a building. drinks are on par with the best. cocktails are excellent. friendly staff. great place for a date.

Passing through for a wedding and this was one of the places our uber driver recommended. It was open, the bouncer was super friendly, and the beer options were plenty. I had an Octoberfest for the first time! I really appreciated the string lights through the bar??The bathroom design was stellar, sectioned off without doors, save for stalls, minimizing touch points. All in all a great experience??
