    Pet friendly makes it enjoyable for your fur buddies.

    This is a hidden gem right in downtown Franklin. If you haven't been; put it on your bucket list. The staff is outstanding, not to mention the food. They have a food truck out front and the owners are the cooks. Everything is delicious and not greasy like other food trucks. It's a full bar, so sit back and relax.

    Mediterranean Quiche and mocha latte

    Absolutely addicting! Strolling down main st on Sunday afternoon I followed a sign that read live music at 1 pm it was 12 ish and half of shops closed as I'm new to this area.. I followed the sidewalk easily marked signs and was very happily surprised by the quant atmosphere and friendly service that greeted me immediately and I had the suggested Mediterranean Quiche made fresh that morning and mocha latte house brew I think... beer on tap if I had wanted and other menu items to choose from as well... coffee house vibe or village pub ! Very cool place!

    What a neat little spot...tucked back off the main drag. Unfortunately (for me,) I could only stay a short bit and missed the dude setting up to play music for the night, but I was waiting on a reservation for a spot to eat and only had 20 minutes. This spot definitely has the rathskeller vibe screaming. Loved the Coffee Can sign on the restroom. Definitely stopping off to have one of the local beers and a small bite to eat the next time in town...I mean...how often do you see an East German flag?? Last time I saw one---was when the wall fell when I was in West Germany.

    It's hidden behind the main strip of downtown Franklin in an authentically old building.

    This restaurant is a fantastic spot! We loved it so much we went twice the week we were visiting…read morefamily! It's great for burger and cocktail lovers! Specifically, the Macon me hot burger that hit the spot! Expect great, friendly service, a lively atmosphere, and generous portions!

    Went for Easter Sunday dinner with a friend. The server didn't come, but sent the hostess to bring…read morewater. Once the server came, we ordered appetizers, then he wanted to know what we wanted for our entree. We said we wanted to wait, as we all hate when we are eating our appetizers, and the main course comes. 3 times he came and asked us if we were ready to order. Umm. No, there are still appetizers, and yes, we told him we'd order when we were through with our appetizers. Finished the appetizers, had to ask the waiter for water 2x. Ordered main dish, our friend ordered the special which was on a chalk board when you walk in. About 5 minutes later the waiter says we're out of the special. She asked to see the menu. He didn't offer it. Our dinner came out about 2 minutes later, and she had to wait another 8-10 for her dinner. If you knew you were out of the special - wouldn't you hold the rest of the tables order so everyone could be served together? Once we all had our main course, as did our friend had to ask for steak sauce twice. Didn't see the waiter again. The hostess came by once. Once dinner was completed, the waiter brought the check and let the dirty plates on the table. The hostess came by and asked how the food was. And said "I'll get your server to clean up these dishes". Never did. Once we said No thanks for dessert - he was gone. At first we thought It's Easter Sunday - they're busy. Nope, only 3 tables full. And as we left, we noticed the special was STILL on the chalkboard. If you're out - cross it off, or erase it. Not a difficult step. The food itself was "good" but not excellent. We have been 3x now since they opened, and probably would not go back.
