It's…read morelocated in a plaza with other restaurants and a supermarket so it was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. We walked in and were immediately greeted by a couple of chipper teenage hostesses and we were even able to pick our table. Our server seemed a little off at first but he warmed up after a little banter; perhaps he was just feeling us out. Beer menu was great but did not necessarily contain anything rare. I had a foam ipa and a stout from dorchester brewing to follow. I had the smash burger. It seemed like a true smash as it was crispy on the outside and had the right amount of grease. The house made chips were a nice addition as I'm not a huge French fry fan. My wife had the fig and prosciutto flatbread and she liked it. The fig paste was tasty, arugula was fresh and there was even some cheese pull. Overall, it was a nice visit and I wouldn't hesitate to go back based on how this visit went.

Really disappointing experience at The Shed in Franklin…read more This place used to be pretty good, which makes the decline even more noticeable. We went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was surprisingly empty, yet the service still moved at an absolute snail's pace. With so few customers, there really was no reason for everything to take as long as it did. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the wait. The potstickers were particularly bad, and I felt ill the following day after eating them. The rest of the meal including the BBQ quesadilla and fries was mediocre at best and nowhere near the quality I remember from previous visits. The prices make the experience even harder to justify. If you are charging these prices, the food and service need to deliver, and neither did. I'm not sure what happened to The Shed, because I remember this being a solid local restaurant. Based on this visit, it has gone significantly downhill. Slow service, mediocre food, disappointing quality, and simply not worth the price. Really unfortunate because we used to enjoy coming here.

This was an excellent value for the price. We were also pleased to find they served Josh Cabernet. We look forward to returning when Jack plays there again.

We've had fantastic food there in the past. Also some great drinks. There are a few reasons for the three though. One is that food can be hit or miss and I think prices are far too high for both the area and what you get. Example shown in my pic was a $35 "Steak Frites" entree, which was you can see is basically steak tips with tater tots and some random veggies and sauce put together in what was not the most appetizing manner. Unless the tots were handmade with exotic ingredients, this is not how a Steak Frites should be done, and even then Tots are a pretty low end alternative. Cocktails also on the high side, though the presentation of the smoked ones was really nice, even if the taste didn't warrant the price. Inside the place gets very noisy and the seating is too compacted, probably because they use a large part of the original building for the distillery operation. Also we went on a weekday,and their entire lot was filled, forcing us to find a grass strip to drive onto and park on. I think the reason was they had a private party on the second floor - I think perhaps they allowed too many guests there which took up most of their parking. Last thing about the menu .. we like that it changes, but this week there were not one but several dishes featuring Gochujang - an unusual flavor for sure, which I do like, but when I see something like that peppered across a menu it speaks to cost cutting in terms of trying to stretch one key ingredient. Just not that thrilled with where the menu is at the moment. The outside seating area is great and eliminates the interior noise problems. And I'll add we had a fantastic server! We will definitely come back, but if the prices remain as high and the food and drinks continue to be a mixed bag, that may not remain the case. And please don't overbook private parties unless you can take over the industrial business next door and expand the parking significantly.

The menu includes delectable small plates such as "bang bang cauliflower" with buffalo sauce, the "wisecracker quesadilla," and the "southwest bowl."

My waitress was lovely and efficient, and I also didn't feel rushed. What made it a four star experience rather than 5 stars for me was the ambiance. The music was horrible--like 1980's big hair band type music. It was such a bizarre contrast to the rest of the upscale ambiance, which looked & felt more like a steakhouse. To my chagrin, it wasn't just one "off" song either...the awful selections kept coming throughout the meal. The music gave it more of a dive bar vibe, and it was so completely offputting that I left sooner than I otherwise would have. It honestly gives me pause when I think about coming again. And that's a real shame because I'd like to bring others here to share the amazing eats. I may try it again on another day. But if the music is the same, I'll be walking right back out the door.

We walked into a straightforward fast food space that stays busy, particularly on weekends, with an energy that matches the straightforward menu. The restaurant is clean and functional, designed around getting people in and out efficiently without sacrificing the quality of what comes out of the kitchen. The menu is deliberately narrow, built around chicken fingers and the handful of sides and sauces that complement them, and that focus pays off in the consistency of what we ordered. The chicken fingers are the obvious centerpiece and they held up, crispy on the outside and juicy throughout without the greasiness that brings down a lot of fast food fried chicken. The sauce is the thing that turns a good chicken finger into the reason people come back. Creamy and tangy with a slight kick, it plays well against the chicken and makes every component on the tray work better with it than without. Ordering an extra cup is the right move, and most regulars do it without thinking twice. The Texas toast is genuinely one of the better versions of the format at a fast food chain, buttery and slightly crisp in a way that earns its place on the tray rather than just filling it. The crinkle cut fries are solid without being remarkable, and the coleslaw does its job as a palate break between the richer items. The staff is a consistent highlight at this location, with an energy and friendliness that stands out in a category where that kind of engagement is rare. Order accuracy can slip during the heaviest rushes, so checking the bag before leaving is worth the extra moment. For a fast food stop that knows exactly what it is and delivers on that promise consistently, Raising Cane's is a reliable choice.
