The Franklin Inn

Cute lil dive. I had a smash burger and it was okay. The sauce was not very flavorful unfortunately. The fries were a lovely type of shoestring that I haven’t had anywhere else.

Food is very good as is the beer selection. Not extensive but very tasty. Nice people. The ultimate Fan bar. Prices very reasonable esp at happy hour

Located right near our home, I’ve visited this neighborhood bar twice in December—once on a Thursday night and again recently for brunch. With 38 years in the hospitality industry, I have a strong understanding of how these businesses operate. The food is good, and the service is very solid for a neighborhood bar. I genuinely want to support this place. That said, ownership and staff may benefit from viewing a few aspects of the experience through a guest’s perspective. I offer this feedback sincerely and hope it’s taken in the constructive spirit intended, because with a couple of small adjustments, the overall experience could be noticeably improved. First, the use of Fabuloso is extremely overpowering. While staff and ownership may be accustomed to the scent, guests definitely notice it. It overwhelms the smell of the food, and even after walking home, the scent lingered on my jacket. Second, the music selection feels more aligned with staff preference than with the bar’s atmosphere. Music plays a significant role in shaping the guest experience, and this is another area worth reevaluating. I recognize that this bar has been around for a long time and has clearly been successful. I’m simply offering my perspective as someone who has spent many years in the industry. I will return, but I do believe these two items deserve closer attention from ownership and staff.

Tried an smash it up burger and handmade fries an were really good. The best part here is the service, i dont know who this girl is but she was so kind and always attentive for everything i needed. Music was really good, jamiroquai it’s a always a hit 🙌

We stopped in with a group of 8, and despite being a smaller establishment they were happy to accommodate us. Service was top notch with servers who were genuinely kind and attentive. Food was wonderful. I've never had mozz sticks like I had here, and let me tell you, they were wonderful. The smash burger was also out of this world. Highly recommend for great food, great service, and a cozy but lively atmosphere.
