Manager never came out to f/u after fried food was sent back. Only the entree was recooked and told I had to keep the same cold sides. No type of adjustments offered..... Management absolutely horrible! No customer service at all! Never had such an unpleasant, awful experience with any restaurant. Definitely would expect a small town, assuming locally owned restaurant would be more accommodating and concerned about their customers' experiences. Thanks for showing who you were up front before I booked the spot for a private 50 guest birthday party. I was patronizing this spot only to see the space and atmosphere before reserving. All of those $$$ will be headed to Franklin now!

Once I ordered my food I waited and saw how each person who came in was greeted the same way and how kind they were to customers. The staff knew the regulars and asked about their families even wishing one a happy birthday. Now the food! I ordered the fish and shrimp with potato salad and rice and gravy. The fish and shrimp were hot and fried to perfection. The rice was cooked well and the gravy seasoned quite well. The potato salad was flavorful. The whole meal reminded me of family southern cooking and was fantastic. I definitely will return.

When it is cold, do not sit near the door because there is a strong, cold draft that is constantly blowing. Mak made me a delicious mocktail. She was also an excellent server.

Friendly, experienced and knowledgeable owner, genuine fishmonger. Just ask what's recommended, local or interesting! The pride shows and we departed with an armful of product. Visiting the area w/family and Bay Seafood surpasses what we often see at home on the coast. Will return anytime we're even remotely close. Tonight, beautiful clean filets, rolled in local breading (also available) and right into the cast iron skillet at home (photo enthusiastically uploaded.) Foolproof, clean flavor and texture; a real revelation, capping perfectly, a lovely couple days in area. Cooked to order available as well. **Bonus: fabulous homemade Kimchi! Ask for a taste.

My husband was pretty satisfied with his catfish. I found my fish to be a bit too fishy and had to spit it out halfway through. My husband even said mine tasted too fishy for his liking as well and couldn't finish it. He ordered the catfish and enjoyed that. I think the serving sizes were a little disappointing for the price. Upon arrival, my husband found that they were not yet open, despite their hours stating they would be. Eventually, when they let him in around 20 min later, it seemed like the staff was not anticipating a customer walking in, and they explained that getting their food truck ready was their top priority. It was a disappointing experience, since it was Father's Day and he was really looking forward to trying this place out for his Father's Day lunch and it wasn't the best experience. He did enjoy the food and said he'd order it again for himself, but from the food truck next time because it seems maybe those customers might have better experiences. Personally, I would not return.

This is a great review I saw from back home ! BackstreetCrabs in Franklin. I had heard the food was…read moregreat, but had seen other not so nice reviews as well (you never know until you try it though). Ill try to give y'all a good honest opinion of the restaurant and food. I had seen the shrimp and crab philly posted on this page and thought "I've got to try that, I've never had any sandwich like that before." Well today was the day. I placed my order over the phone and the young lady who answered was very nice, (the ticket had the name Destiny on it). She answered all my questions and took my order without any issues. When I got to backstreet crabs I observed the gentleman cooking wearing gloves, a head covering, and a beard net. The young lady was helping some other customers and bagging up their order. She told me they were working on my order and I could go ahead and grab my drink (cooler with bottles and cans located in the customer seating area). When my order was ready it was boxed up and shown to me to make sure it was what I had asked for. Everything looked and smelled good. Staff was very friendly the entire time. Here's the pros of the meal: It was delicious! Piled high with filling and very flavorful. There were whole shrimp, not pieces. I think around 6 good size shrimp in the sandwich. There was so much filling I had to take a layer off the top. Fries were cooked perfectly as well. The only negative thing I have to say about the whole experience was that the sandwich was very wet, so the bread got soggy fast. Did that stop me from eating it, Nope. It was still delicious. I did end up taking the filling out of the bread once it was too soggy for my liking and just eating the filling. Just FYI if you plan to order over the phone you will need to pay with card while you are on the phone, but it wasn't a surprise, she did tell me when I asked to place a to go order. I'll definitely go back again, I've got my eye on the crab cake sandwich for next time or maybe some wings. Love to help local hometown!

I really think they should add it to their drink list The Swiss cheeseburger, seasoned veggies, hamburger steak were all so very very good! Atmosphere was relaxing and fun. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I had a 4oz filet. I asked for rare. Was cooked more blue, but I was happy with that. No offer of steak sauce. Fine with me because I prefer salt and butter. Baked potato was actually great! Mac and cheese was not anything to write home about. Salad was huge - took it back to my hotel. Haggerty's was busy in a small-ish town for a Thursday night. I don't drink, so no comment on any alcohol except to say the Cosmo looking drinks at a table nearby looked great in frosty glasses. There were a few large groups lingering and chatting. Several other single eaters at the bar who seemed happy. Some family style meals going on - groups of 4 or 5. Overall, I'd say this is good spot to go for a steak if you're craving one. I'd return.
