Grilled cheese and tuna w fries
Catherine S.

Was looking forward to trying this place for a bit. But never have time til this day. I went in and it was very empty. There was 1 person at counter, 2 tables w people at them. Thought it would be a bit busier as it was still lunch time. There was a lot of take out. The decor seemed dated. I sat at counter waitress came right over. Asked if i would like something to drink. I got water and asked if there was a lunch menu. She gave me that and also said that they were serving breakfast and lunch. I said thank you. I got my water, checked out specials on menu and board. Seemed pricey. But for me that day it was a treat. I eventually decided on the grilled tuna melt and fries on rye. When it came the cheese was melted and tuna was still cold perfect. But the fries were hot like i like them but felt there wasn't enough. It was not worth the $ of $9.50. Felt it was very over priced. But everything was a bit high. Probably why it was so quiet. There were 3 servers and looked like 3 cooks in kitchen. It was clean but as said before dated looking. Might try again but not for awhile.

Came to Galante's late one Sunday morning after reading the great reviews here on Yelp, and I'm so glad I did! The food was just wonderful, our waitress was very friendly and helpful, and the whole atmosphere of the place was just pleasant and great. There was a wait, yes, as with any great breakfast spot, but the wait was so worth it. I had a mushroom egg white omelet with hashbrowns and wheat toast, and even something as simple as the toast was delicious! The veggies in my omelet were pre-cooked so they weren't raw inside the egg (you'd be surprised how many times that happens!), the cheese was flavorful, and everything was seasoned just right. Even for a "greasy spoon", I didn't feel bloated or gross when I left, which is always a plus. Really good, honest food all around. I will definitely be back, and I can't wait! As a note, as another reviewer said, they do take credit and debit cards, but for the price of the bill only, not tip. Make sure you bring cash to tip the friendly waitresses!

Found ourselves in Franklin in need of dinner and a beer and the shed checked the boxes. 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 my first time here and I stopped in for lunch. Just a heads up if you're coming in…read moreexpecting something made immediately, this isn't really that type of place. You order your food and wait a little bit, but I thought it was worth the wait. I ordered the chicken platter with fries and a side salad. The portions were really generous. The fries came out hot and crispy, and the chicken was extremely flavorful. It looked like there were onions and peppers mixed in with it, and it was honestly really, really good. The salad was good too, and the dressing was delicious. I also got the baklava, which I really enjoyed. The only thing I would mention is the pricing. The TVs inside showed the platter for around $11.99 or $12.99, but when I paid it was a couple dollars more. I did notice a sign underneath the TVs saying that the screens were frozen and to refer to the paper menu for current pricing. The problem is, I only saw one paper menu and it was underneath the TV, so it wasn't really obvious. I think having paper menus available for customers would make more sense. That being said, even with the updated pricing, I didn't think it was unreasonable. I can definitely see how someone could be frustrated by seeing one price on the screen and then being charged another, but for me it wasn't a huge difference or a dealbreaker. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back. Everything I ordered was good, the portions were generous, and the food had a lot of flavor.

Any of the flavors of their danishes are a safe bet too, as they're seriously delicious, and we crave them often. We've tried a couple of their lunch options and some other pastries and would probably pass on those next time. Their scones tend to be on the dry side. Their coffee is good, though they don't offer many specialty flavor options if that's what you're looking for. We're still mourning two of our all-time favorites that have been discontinued: the homemade donuts every Sunday and the mushroom toast. Birchwood, please bring them back!

I arrived a little early and grabbed a seat at the bar, where I tried to order a glass of wine. But that wasn't happening here! They serve neither wine or beer, only their own whiskeys, vodkas, rums, gin, and an agave-based spirits. I tried one of their mixed drinks, which was excellent. Still, if you want a beer or a glass of wine with dinner, that's going to be an issue. Among other dishes, we ordered: Charcuterie Board: Artisan cheeses, cured meats, pickled vegetables, plum preserves, espelette mustard, and grilled focaccia. Caesar Salad: Romaine, anchovy dressing, sourdough croutons, and parmesan tuile. Seared Tuna: Sesame-crusted ahi tuna, cold glass noodle salad, bean sprouts, snow peas, braised spring onions, sesame yuzu ponzu, and black rice vinegar reduction. Steak Frites: Balsamic-marinated steak tips, tater tots, trumpet mushrooms, gochujang aioli, gorgonzola, pickled chiles, and avocado salsa verde. With the exception of the charcuterie board, the food was very good and nicely presented. My seared tuna was excellent. It was a busy Friday night, though, and service was spotty. One diner commented on the long wait for a drink refill. The setting added to the evening, and the restaurant's interior is also beautiful. Overall, a solid four-star dining experience.

I haven't been to this Pokemoto for quite some time, but the quality and generous portions are…read morestill there! My favorite thing to get is a "build your own bowl," which I load up with fix-ins and toppings to complement the raw fish kick. The staff here are very friendly - the young man and woman are always working hard, and it's really awesome that they can always greet customers with such enthusiasm. If you're timid about building your own poké, they have signature bowls you can choose from on their menu. The large bowl is extremely filling, and they don't skimp on the protein scoops. Generally, I mix tuna, salmon and shrimp on sushi rice. Cucumber, mango, jalapeños and edamame are a must in terms of adding color and more flavor to the bowl. Green onions, pickled ginger, masago and kani salad are awesome to top off the bowl, and avocado when I want to splurge. The chojang sauce is my favorite one to toss everything together, and wonton crisps and shredded nori will forever be my go-to crunchy toppings. So there you have my custom bowl - not to sound biased, but I think you'll love it if you try it. The service is excellent - I've never had a problem with my order. The team members take their time, and the hospitality is great. They're happy to explain menu items or offer new suggestions, which I really appreciate as an indecisive but particular person. I commend them for holding down the fort and serving clients - very impressive, and I can only imagine switching between making drinks and building bowls. Speaking of, I appreciate how they have Loose Leaf, the boba shop, inside Pokemoto as well to fuel the bubble tea cravings. Everything here (and there) is high quality (stay tuned for my Loose Leaf review), and I enjoy the matchacado smoothie with boba a lot. I'm a wee bit worried about cleanliness in the dining areas at times, but it's not the end of the world (a napkin would do), and the recent times I've grabbed something from Pokemoto, I've taken it to go. I understand the establishment is more fast casual, and it can be tough to keep up at times - this is more of a reflection on past patrons who may not see the line of crumbs or utensil sleeves they leave behind. Overall, I love this location - ample parking and seating. I think it would also be nice to have seats for solo visitors and couples (at times I feel bad occupying a booth that could fit at least six people) - it would be cool if the boba shop was set up cafe style for longer stays (will gladly order 3 matchacados in one "WFH" session).

This place has gone up in price and lowered the amount of food you get. My husband picked up my…read morepoke bowl order and when I get home, I see that it's missing a few toppings I wanted.

We only ordered cuz we were in the area but never again. Used to drive here but not worth it.
